Here's some frozen water for ya. Shot from yesterday morning.

This was me before cable. This plus reg radio, and trying to switch between the three local news stations at about 20 past 6 or 11 so I could catch channel 3, 8 and 30 weather forecasts in CT.

I'm riding the northern edge in Morristown so could see 1 or 4 inches just as easily depending how far north this goes; hoping for at least 2" to cover everything up - im not greedy

Looks like a heavy band just south of Peoria

I heard he’s been picking up frequent shipments from 2kft in SVT.

Completely agree and liking the latest NBM, especially for NYC/NENJ/LI - first time we've seen amounts over 4" for NYC and nearby locations from the NBM.

30 / 20 cloudy and we'll see if we can get to 40/low 40s. Snow overnight and through the morning into early afternoon Sunday 1 - 3 / 2 - 4 with some spots to 5. Cold Mon - Tue. Moderation to and above normal by the 18th through Christmas. Beyond there near normal with a bit back and forth and we'll see if a storm threat can materialize by and for New Years eve.

Temps drop pretty fast and the best snows should be when everyone's snowing. It will be an icy first layer followed by fluffy

3:30 pm was when Mt. Holly would push their products. You always wanted to see the crawl on the lower third go "...WINTER STORM WARNING FOR THE GREATER DELAWARE VALLEY..." Pure magic.

I would rather models show bigger amounts, then lower only because if something didn't pan out perfectly we know what happens and atleast we would still see plowable snows... I will say sucks I have my fire dept Christmas party tonight and work at 7 am tomorrow, guess I can't get to drink tonight

I mentioned that yesterday, that has happened out here before during a clipper system. not out of the question

Yeah it looks like a timing change. That’s the only difference I found

It’s the same SUNDAY... * WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations between 1 and 3 inches. Localized totals of 4 to 5 inches are possible, especially across Baltimore and northeastern Maryland.

Yeah the NAM popped a bit late but really looked good down there.

50 past the hour. I’d set my day to it.

Stations right along the south shore of LI have just seen a jump in temperatures to the mid 30s along with a wind shift to the south. Not sure how this plays into some of the forecasts calling for precipitation starting as rain in immediate coastal areas.

this looks like more than a minor snowfall for most of the metro, honestly. solid WAA with warning criteria likely even being approached in CNJ and parts of LI

12z NAM looks decent too

Yeah, she was more focused on meeting Taylor swift and getting her photo this morning lol

Nice! I’ve actually been to Ship Bottom a few times over the years when visiting LBI. Good stuff there for sure. Cheers to snow!

Wild Guess: NWS just modified the winter weather advisory for DC and I-95 south. Wonder if they're going warnings for Carroll, NW Baltimore, and NW Harford?

Entering day 11 of continuous snow cover, although we're about at 80% coverage now. Pretty amazing from 2.8 inches of sow through the period. Hopefully the bare spots get covered up with another 2-3 inches tonight. Two would be great from this setup, 3 would be a pleasant surprise. To those out there that keep track. When do you call the snow cover done? I use at least a one inch cover over 75% of visible land area, sun and shade. Right now I'm 2-2.5 inch in shady spots, one inch in most sunny areas with about 20% bare ground.

My parents thought I was autistic or something when I only wanted to watch TWC instead of cartoons. Lol

It’s been quite a wintry start up here. 5.6” ytd and 1-2” coming tonight. Hopefully NYC/LI can cash in tonight. I’m thinking a solid 3-5” for the coast
