Jumped up to 41 with some sun but clouds rolling in now

The official BOM observed for the last 3 days available (8th, 9th, 10th) has been COD/6, COD/5, and back to COD/6, but headed towards 8 (hopefully). It's 3 days behind so it could be in 8 now.

Love NYC during the Christmas holiday season. Enjoy!

6" to 8" over me....I will take the under on this!!

Looks like the Blue Mountain is going to be the cutoff between a good plowable snow southeast, and more of a nuisance variety one on the northern side.

We will see how long it takes to saturate the column out here. Returns overhead. It is 45 right now. My high of the day. And a 30 DP.

The 12/8-10 MJO were all in very weak 5-6 (essentially neutral):

Latest HRRR and RAP deliver the goods south of I-81 and the Blue Mountain. Solid 3-6 York, Lancaster, SE Lebanon, Berks, Lehigh and Northampton.

DAB from the system this afternoon. We’re already seeing some streamers come off the lake. That should get better organized tonight. Accumulations should stay in check at around 3”. IWX opted not to go with a WWA, despite GRR doing so with the same accumulation expected. GRR says to snow+v cold=travel troubles. I have to agree.

I would never use a temperature reading from the display in a vehicle.

Not liking the look of the radar. Lots of dry air working in to the west. Hopefully that all fills in. Have around an inch so far.

It's nice that EVERYONE is benefitting for once with these little ticks, and there's no robbing Peter to pay Paul scenario.

You guys start as rain and transition to snow through the evening. 30/20 here.. expecting 2-3”

The fluff factor has certainly been in the back of my mind too and I would generally go higher because of that, however, when looking at soundings, I am just not seeing much in the way of lift…and in order for us to maximize the ratio potential, we need lift!!

Makes me tempted to drive back tonight to home

Central park measuring is a joke. That storm in February had most places in NYC at 4-5” and they were at 3”. Last year, the 1/19 storm; most of the city had 3-5” and they had like 1.8”. Saving grace is this storm comes in at night so maybe that’ll reduce melting as the snow falls. I’d still expect some white rain at the onset because temps are still warm right now.

45/33 in Haymarket at 3:35. Not expecting to see any white on the ground tomorrow am. In my experience these setups usually do much better at least 75 miles north and east of here.

42 DP 31. Wet bulb 38 with a westerly wind at my station. Not very friendly for snow at the start

dam 3k NAM is just about a KU not bad with invt snows hanging on into the afternoon!

Snow was definitely beefier than expected in the Midwest. Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Columbus, Pittsburgh went under winter storm warnings but yesterday they were only under winter weather advisories. Maybe it’s a good sign to see more snow than expected to our west. Hopefully that transfers to our area

Overcast and 39.6 here currently.

Up in NYC since last night for holiday lights and a show with Beth and the kids and haven’t been following the models today - but the WWA up here just upped to 3” - 5” up to 6” for this area.

Only it falls by 7am. Anything after that they won't measure until 1pm and it will have compressed by then. It's a very old story that hasn't changed much through the years.

When is the white gold supposed to start falling in Lancaster, York and Dauphin Counties? .

Shit drawers pattern >>> shit the blinds pattern
