That was a beast . Got right in the teeth of it

There is a very light dusting on the ground here- Happy New Year!

Sunday night and Monday looks good for more snow. Then we’ll see what mid week does

The wind woke me up briefly. Sounded like it was raining, so I didn't look out the window. When I got up at 6:15, there was the thinnest possible dusting.

12/2 - 0.7” 12/14- 0.4” 1/1 - 0.3” total- 1.4” climo = 26.5” 2024-25: 17.2” 2023-24: 15.7” 2022-23: 5.3” 2021-22: 15.2”

Having said that it was a solid holiday period, I can’t remember the last time I had a snow pack down here the entire Christmas break.

Happy new year, woke up a little late to see it but exactly 1 inch here ...temp went from 34° at 6 am to 24° currently.

After the squall the winds howled for about 2 hours and are finally dying down now mostly. Temp has dropped to 25 after starting at 29 earlier

Scoring is now complete for the month and the year. Congrats to Tom for winning the annual contest, despite being closely tracked by several in the chase pack, so_whats_happening was second and RJay third, Don Sutherland fourth, then hudsonvalley21 and wxallannj close at 5th and 6th. The extreme forecast result was quite close also, my total is a bit higher than Rodney S but I also had more losses, so it's pretty close to a tied result there. Looking at best scores one can see in general that the lower portion of the regular entrants tend to go a little more to extremes and so while there are more best scores and extreme forecast results for them, there must also be quite a few busted forecasts with a net result of lower total scores. This past month, if anyone had foreseen the very large positive anomalies at DEN and PHX, and prevented max-60 scoring, they could have moved up by around 150 points but even that alone would not have quite defeated Tom's campaign, assuming it was one of the top four who did that; had I done it, I would have moved up one rank. Oddly enough the extreme western cold that I was predicting materialized over most of western Canada, Edmonton had an anomaly of about -10 F for December. But that cold remained largely in place with some occasional forays towards the Great Lakes and northeast U.S. ... the data for central U.S. locations reveals a generally very cold month with one week of extreme warmth 22nd to 28th. ORD averaged -3.5, but was +14.3 for that week. Don S pointed out in another thread that STL had their largest one-day temperature drop (or daily range) ever in December (on the 27th).

Not too much in the pipeline for winter enthusiasts. Enjoy what we have now

Crazy we picked up little over an inch here on the Levittown/morrisville border. Nice surprise! Took a nice little walk during round 2, it was amazing. I’ll see if I can upload the video I took but probably too large. I’ll host it somewhere else and upload later, I need sleep lol

New year…. Same models…. .

missed it but solid inch here

Mega Squall hit here exactly at midnight. Thought for a second we got some thunder, but it was just someone with fireworks. Still snowed pretty heavily for awhile after it. I got a little shafted on the LES two days ago, but looks like around 5” out of this event.

anyone having difficulty with 'winter mask' on weathertap?

Woke us up too. Then tried to go back to sleep and the wind hit like a freight train 40 mins later. Visibility was probably 1/10th of a mile or less. Could watch the driveway accumulate snow. It’s blown around so much since, but probably can count 0.1”.

Hoping it holds for PVD and byond.

Bummed that I missed it, but wow! Temps dropped 11 degrees in less than 15 minutes, with a peak gust of 35.3 MPH.

Ended around 7:00 am with 0.75" otg at 26F as the temp dropped from 32F at the start - pretty amazing little squall line. Brings me to 11.0" on the season, which is a fantastic start. First is a pic at the height of the initial squall, followed by a pic after it was all over; will try to post a clip too...

2.0"

Impressive squall line…gusty and falling and blowing snow.

This must be what those lake effect bands are like . Just pure white fog

This is wild. Like holy shit wild

Looks like a coating on easy surfaces, nice little new year event.

Best rates of the winter for me so far, easily eclipsing the mid December event that put 7+ down for me.
