Did someone say clipper!!!!! I agree with what Carver said earlier. I also believe this is going to be like some of the older winters used to have. I could be way wrong but heck it sure is fun watching & hoping.

It's 29. Going to be beautiful outside with the sun rising. Too all a good night Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

I love it. Crazy right! I am prepared for my son got me one of those ski mask covers that you pull over your mouth. I can’t remember what they are called. It actually goes around the neck. Having my lungs damaged from Covid & asthma. It helps to keep the air I breath in not as cold. Yep I’m jabbering away.

This band has to be doing some damage…. .

I have 1.8 so far. I snowed and sleeted for 2 hrs than dry slotted for 2.5 hrs . Now just light snow . 6-10 was forecast by nws . Will be lucky if I reach 2

Right around 2” inches Jersey City. Still coming down.

thanks thats helpful to know for Brooklyn I dont know why this map has like 0 reports in NJ and around NYC. I know theres at least 1-2" there. I think upton does this thing where they dont post anything under 2, thats why you only see tenths of an inch and generally reports less than 2 in the PHI CWA. https://www.weather.gov/source/crh/snowmap.html

Should be at least another hour of fun here.

Managing to snow again here. One great thing about this storm has been good snowflake growth and size. If only we managed to get the qdf or avoid the warm air aloft

Here you go Hippy.

Thats crazy,you sure this wasnt from LP?I i mean clippers are weak until they hit the Plateau,in general if you get 2 inches here thats a nice clipper.I remember tho when i lived in Lawrenceburg we got the lake effect snow from the Great Lakes that lasted about three days,didnt add up to much,i got tired of it snowing,didnt even hardly put a dusting down,just light snow or flakes

Snow growth flipped, best rates of the night now,

2.5” and counting here

Man Albany has been puking snow for like 8 hours straight

Looking at jfk radar looks like that ocean effect band is exploding with the band swinging from the west over Brooklyn and Staten Island…. Anyone awake ? lol

It was cold out there today – midwinter cold. By the afternoon we’d reached the upper single digits F in the valley, but I knew it was colder than that in the higher elevations. I wasn’t too excited to get out in those temperatures to ski, but Bolton had reported another 5-7” of new snow from the Christmas Day storm, and on top of all the recent snowfall, there was likely going to be some really great skiing out there. I ultimately decided to head up for a quick ski tour and was planning to get on the Bolton Valley Nordic & Backcountry Network from the Village, but I figured I’d at least take a look at Timberline on the way up. A woman I rode the chair with on Wednesday said that the resort was working their way toward getting Timberline skiing underway during the holiday week, and indeed they were blowing snow at Timberline, so that made the decision easy to head up to the Village. By the time I’d ascended to the Village, the temperature was down to 2 F, which is about what I’d expect based on the valley temperatures. I’d geared up with my usual dual base layer setup for cold temperatures, so I was actually nice and warm on my ascent. The fact that there was no wind actually helped make it quite comfortable, and my older son was up riding the lifts and giving ski lessons to some beginner friends, and he commented about the lack of wind as well. For a change of pace I ascended part of the Bryant Trail and connected over via Cliff Hanger for a descent of Prayer Flag. The powder depths I measured in undisturbed areas were typically 12-15” at the 2,000’ level, and 15-16” in the 2,500’ range. The subsurface just continues to get buried under deeper and deeper layers of powder, and the descent of Prayer Flag was one of the better ones I can remember. I was worried that the skiing might be on the slow side with the cold temperatures, but the composition of the powder out there made for great gliding. It also didn’t hurt that only one or two other skiers had toured in the Prayer Flag area, so the snow was mostly unracked. Once I was back down to the Broadway bridge I made another ascent up to the top of World Cup and descended through some of the glades in Telemark Practice Slope area. It looks the current conditions are going to make for some fantastic skiing this weekend, with some additional snow expected tonight, and much warmer temperatures for the next couple of days.

That said I think that the current band orientation may save myself and nyc from a proper all out failure of less than 3in to hitting the extreme low end range of conservative forecasters.

What a disaster that storm was for SNE. I might get close to the Boxing Day total when all is said and done.

Well ASOS already recorded 0.20 liquid and all snow, at least the hourly reports so i dont see how they could have less than 2. So it's gotta be at least 2" I,d say +/- 3" by the time it's done.

Thank you. 6 days away…but at least there’s a shot. We watch.

Looks like we finally got some bands of precip to fill in. Though it’s still weirdly convective like with narrow bands. Wonder if the lake effect may help lower Manhattan and Long Island not bust as horribly as upper manhattan.

I’ve been posting here for 15 years. My first big event was Boxing Day. Some here were in diapers then.

As does the GFS

Snowing now again, still pretty light

Def starting to lose the really dynamic lift from earlier. Radar becoming more banded/less organized. Still snowing well with good ratios but not the heavy stuff from earlier
