0z EPS tries to develop -EPO mid-month, which would quickly cool down the NE, while other models have more -WPO/-AO.. ridge near Russia. Interesting difference

We went to friends in pjs and a pot luck, gifts for kids, and was home before 1 lol

I'll probably have to stay up until 5am to get in on this squall

Just came thru here. Was rippin' pretty good. No flashes, no rumbles, though. Guess I will go to sleep.

DCA _ NYC _ BOS _ ORD _ ATL _ IAH _ DEN _ PHX _ SEA -1.4 -1.3 -1.9 -0.6 +1.2 +1.4 +1.4 +1.6 +1.2

Finally with better snow growth here. Good luck to everyone in SNE.

Most of my memories are from situations like this, usually in a squall line or strong arctic front. Honestly its probably not super rare for our region as a whole in this type of setup. Now getting it as part of a noreaster I can't recall the last time that happened. If I hadn't been outside I would have probably missed it. I'm not sure if there are any official statistics on it or not.

Right on the edge here. Those annoying models that said we would be right on the edge were right. How annoying.

Just a dusting of snow in western Suffolk. Congrats out east, again

It’s here, whiteout and gust to 39.4mph

Here it comes

How common is thunder snow in our area? First time in my life I witnessed it happen was tonight.

Wait til that second batch gets to you. Heavy snow, huge dendrites, its a thing of beauty. Phone camera can't do it justice.

That was awesome to be out in. I measured 3.5 so the squall gave me over an inch. Still ripping.

So, climate… OND this year at DEN had a total of 0.53” of liquid and Dec is the second warmest since 1872. I still wonder about the validity of the #1 in 1933 as it was so much higher than any up to that point. Happy new year!

Looks like one more moderate burst before the dry air starts to shut off the heavier snow. Its ripping here again. Gotta go back outside!

Closing in on 2" here. Nice fluffy snow. 28 degrees.

since i have young kids, I obviously did not go anywhere tonight (although we had some people over earlier). What were folks watching for the ball drop? I had multiview on (CNN, ABC, CBS, and ESPN). Was pretty cool tbh.

oh well, i'm sure you understand, but ji doesnt have the brainpower to even comprehend it so why even try at this point lol

Was never really a favorable period We were lucky to get so cold in Dec with the pattern, as the NAO had its most negative Winter month out of the last 60 Winter months (since Dec 2010)! -WPO contributed to it, too.

That sounded like Charlie Brown's teacher speaking to him.
