Yea, it has been a really strange last 8 months or so. It was really wet here in the Middle TN area in the Spring up until about June, then it literally stopped. It did the same thing it is doing now, about every ten days we would get a strong line of storms and it rains some but then nothing for another two weeks.

I made a throw away account on imgur and will either screen shot static images or save to my desktop gifs generated by a site like tropical tidbits. You just have to drag and drop the saved gif (.gif) or image (I think it has to be a .png or .jpg) to the box on imgur. Then you click "copy image address": Then you just paste that link directly into the text box here and hit the "enter" or "return." It should automatically populate the image or gif at that point.

Toledo had a high 61 (low 33 yesterday morning) with various levels of rain, and heavy fog. No lightning/thunder later in the evening. Then with the temperature dropping, Toledo has maxed out at 50 knot (58mph) peak winds. Wind chill was briefly 0 when the temp was 18 and the wind was 30mph. 0.52", and also measured values up to 0.60" and 0.70" on CoCoRAHS. A few days back, the WPC/NWS estimation was 1.6" but a lot of that shifted to Detroit. (Oakland County got that much)

That sums it up.

Coming down pretty good in Royal Oak, ground has whitened up in the last 20 minutes.

Temperatures downtrended at the last minute. Undermodeled CAD, as always.

It is getting that way here. About half the Average Rainfall for December.

Quality post with helpful and interesting information, thanks.

For the rain total folks, I'm at 0.07" on the day in West Chester, PA. Line looks like it's about done moving through, so that's probably about where I'll finish. I'll have an update if I record more

I could see accumulating snow possible for far southeastern Mass Wednesday night into Thursday with that system. That's a heck of an amplifying shortwave trough moving across the region. In fact, I would not be surprised if that ended up resulting in SLP a bit farther south and west than what the GFS has. Wouldn't take a heck of a lot to get it to blossom a bit earlier

Well, we managed to creep up to 36 degrees, but I'm not sure if we'll crack 40 or not. Either way, I'm not looking forward to the wind this afternoon. Last wind event had me all screwed up with trees and wires down, and a tight detour, before I was told to use the turnpike.

Still FROPA

Oh, I know that . I was referring to how the block retrogades and other effects of it along with the AK Vort.. Yeah, a tall PNA Ridge is tops in my opinion, really for the whole area , in general.

I've dropped a degree in the last hour or so from 33.8° down to 32.9°. I don't think my driveway is going to melt out enough to avoid a complete skating rink when it gets colder again.

True but all it really means to me is we don't know yet what's going to happen. All we do know is that Ji will act like an asshat and Bob Chill will think its funny

Terrible representation IMO. Multiple reports of 27 inches in SWCT, including the town that I lived in at the time (Norwalk) yet it shows 10 to 20.

My gauge collected 0.10" of melted snow, but I was only able to measure about 0.8" of snow in the grass.

oh your location under your avatar says Brooklyn fyi

snow squall warnings near Detroit

A little blue now on the western horizon.

Have to watch this

Gfs develops a little low

Go back and check this. Look carefully at the maps I posted. The 18z NAM run right before the event was one of its least snowy runs. And it still showed 1-3" of (10:1) snow across Union (south) and Essex (north) Counties (EWR is right in between). Actual reports came in mostly in the 2-4" range including uncounted sleet, so about 1" off. Newark Airport at 4.3" was one of the highest reports for either county even though it's in the southern tip of Essex. The NAM was one of the few models to show sleet in Putnam County where I personally observed it. It also showed primarily sleet into Morris County before 9pm, which was also correct. It was the first and best model with the warm nose. The inv trof, which it also correctly showed lingering into Sat, was what delivered snow in NJ. I honestly think you guys arguing that the NAM did poorly are out of your minds.

Ugh, that sucks. No gutters here, and thankfully never had flooding issues due to weather. That being said, the condensate pump for my furnace burned out last night and water started pooling in the unfinished part of the basement. I was lucky and caught it early on, but right now there's a trash bin in the basement with about a foot of water in it. Methinks a trip to Home Depot will be in the cards at some point this afternoon.

I would say that the only thing that might give it credibility is how adamant the Euro has been on that coating.
