Loved seeing the small flakes on/off yesterday as I did some shopping. Low of 27 at 6:44am. Hoping for 60 today.

Trending slower further Northwest. Nice

Seems like it’s been a little while since we had an event trending better and better right up until go time. Ya love to see it!

I enjoy all the snow I receive. Even 1 cm is appealing. Nevertheless, when posting statistics, even the ugly data (streak in my post) will be mentioned periodically for purposes of completeness.

I tried to find a pic of my late 70s Bearcat weather radio - it was off white with an orange on/off button. That's all I had, along with local news and 936-1212 LOL I'm getting more hopeful for the snow with latest models. Let's keep the good trends going and fill that gap in the western part of our forum!

I saw one of these gradient type events two years ago with the I78 death band. Four miles separated 6” amounts from 10” amounts. You cannot underestimate these gradient events.

RRFS is a dud for Virginia but looks good north of Baltimore.

I remember calling the weather line. My parents would get pissed because it wasn't free. I'd be calling it 10 times a day for updates lol. I had the same weather radio lol

It’s led the charge as other models moisten and reward a larger chunk of the sub.

It's a solid run for sure.

I remain cautious and quite conservative anywhere along and north of the I-84 corridor; a general 1.5 to 2, with low pop of iso 3"? Cape area looks good; 3 to 5, spot 5+; and a general 2 to 3 with isolated 4's across southern CT; maxing out in New London County...

Rgem remains consistent with area wide 3-5”

Rgem mostly held serve but beefed up a bit for southern areas. Ocean County 6+

12z RRFS is pretty robust.

Some models for all - which one will be closest to reality?

Looks like ICON and Reggie nudged a little north too.

I did it as an adult! Lol

Here's some frozen water for ya. Shot from yesterday morning.

This was me before cable. This plus reg radio, and trying to switch between the three local news stations at about 20 past 6 or 11 so I could catch channel 3, 8 and 30 weather forecasts in CT.

I'm riding the northern edge in Morristown so could see 1 or 4 inches just as easily depending how far north this goes; hoping for at least 2" to cover everything up - im not greedy

Looks like a heavy band just south of Peoria

I heard he’s been picking up frequent shipments from 2kft in SVT.

Completely agree and liking the latest NBM, especially for NYC/NENJ/LI - first time we've seen amounts over 4" for NYC and nearby locations from the NBM.

30 / 20 cloudy and we'll see if we can get to 40/low 40s. Snow overnight and through the morning into early afternoon Sunday 1 - 3 / 2 - 4 with some spots to 5. Cold Mon - Tue. Moderation to and above normal by the 18th through Christmas. Beyond there near normal with a bit back and forth and we'll see if a storm threat can materialize by and for New Years eve.
