Aggressive call

Clipper mid week looks like a North of Pike deal.

Maybe I’m saying this because my dogs got me up at 4:45am to go outside, but my backyard is a little ridiculous right now. In some spots, the snow height is almost reaching the top of my calves. And my dogs’ legs aren’t really visible. Perhaps I’ll feel better with a little more sleep I’m thankful & grateful for the bountiful start of snow season.

While generally -SN to SN, had one or two brief periods of +SN overnight at home.

Most guidance continues to be fairly bullish for accumulating snow tomorrow. @BooneWX how does the GRAF look? Lol

The brine they used nearly destroyed my 2019 WRX that I commute with, caused a major oil leak that nearly took out my engine if I had let it go another couple miles before stopping the car. Shop said 100% the salt brine corroded the lines etc. My fault for not washing enough, but I certainly don’t neglect to wash my vehicle. What they do in NJ is entirely excessive - yes I understand the population density warrants precaution but they take it to a degree that’s just not warranted for the weather.

Have to get something to dig and amplify, everything is either cutting north and missing SNE even or squashed and weak, passing off VA. Not gonna work for my area through SNE (CT) and everywhere in-between. Flow needs to calm down a tad, like the past few years it’s been fast again which isn’t helping anything to amplify in the right spot.

As I'm fond of noting, today is the earliest sunset. It's another month or so for the latest sunrise. The discrepancy is the difference between true solar time and the chronological time we use.

Rather lame. But splitting hairs between a few tenths vs forecasted 1-2”.

Friday looks like a clipper. It’s a start. 34 degrees this morning.

I finished with 5.6 inches. I have almost reached last winter's snow total on December 7th.

Dumping large flakes on the north side. Radar across E IA/W IL looks real good for now.

I'll have to check that one out. I picked up a great book about it about five years ago: "Action Park: Fast Times, Wild Rides, and the Untold Story of America's Most Dangerous Amusement Park"

Freezing Fog Advisory. This is the first time I have ever seen this.

I thought the same…all you need to know.

Tonight’s Euro is probably the worst case scenario in terms of cashing in on our December cold. There’s the mid-week clipper well to the north and then just a whole lot of nothing before a warm up leading into Christmas.
