Getting Moderate snow out here at wisp. Great skiing today

Just over an inch here. Kind of screwed with dry air, but at least it looks pretty. Maybe we can get brushed with that inv trough later.

Anyway, from the standpoint of not fretting about whether or not our annual snowfall is declining and just enjoying what we have, yesterday’s most recent NWS forecast just before the snow started was pretty much spot on with where totals ended up. It’s rare that totals get boosted before the event and then we hit them almost exactly.

That’s a fair point. But some of those years right before and right after were painfully low. So those got balanced out a bit. I don’t think the 90s as a whole were dramatically higher than the 30 year average. Maybe a little bit.

5.7 in great neck .

5.5" here.

Sun is breaking through the clouds here.

6" here on si.. Rather light during the night but really picked up at around 6 am.

Glad we went and shoveled before the winds picked up. Cold out there. 25°

Was at about 3" of snow at 8am here, but up to 6.5" now as the snow begins to lighten up. Lindenhurst

7.2" final.

Any idea how much qpf we got?

Finished with 5.5”. Good storm to kick off the winter.

Probably has to modify this to more like 5”-8” if you look at the more recent time stamps. The non-ridges winner seems to be in from another New Stanton towards near Latrobe. A couple 10” reports.

A hair over 8" as of 11:30 AM here. Starting to wind down. Wind picking up.

The thing I’ll add here, however, is that the new averages will replace the following: 1992-93 (72.1”) with 2022-23 (17.6”) 1993-94 (76.8”) with 2023-24 (16.3”) 1995-96 (74.5”) with this winter (TBD) So that’s 4” off the seasonal normal right there, unless some of the other corresponding winters can outdo their ‘90s counterparts (2021-22 and 2024-25 did by about 10” each, so add back a fraction of an inch).

should finish up with about 2" here.

It looks like we ended up with between 5" to 9" of snow across Chester County. Here in East Nantmeal we finished with 8.8". This will go down as the 17th largest December storm since 1893 here in Chester and SE Berks Counties. See the current top 25 below.

Good morning all! I just caught up from all the posts since 1:00am. I'm very happy for all of you that grossly overachieved. Other than @canderson(sorry), I ended up with the second lowest accumulation coming in at a whopping 1.0" with 0.5" before midnight and the 0.5" after midnight. That 1.0" melted down to 0.11", close to 10:1 for water equivalent. Even just 1.0" everywhere is enough to create a beautiful early winter scene. I should also say that nearly all of the snow fell with a temperature that was above 32.0...but just barely with most of it falling around 32.5 degrees. One nice thing about the wet snow (now frozen) is that it is preventing blowing snow, which prevents drifts on my driveway and sidewalks. The temp has been hanging out around 23 degrees, and I'm not expecting it to rise much at all with a very cold 504dm thickness sweeping on through the daytime this afternoon. If anything I would anticipate a slow drop during this afternoon. Enjoy your winter wonderlands all! Oh, I forgot to mention my seasonal snow total is now up to 3.8".

Overlooking Nantucket Sound. Just crossed 3.0” in Barnstable.

Bc it will be gone by Thursday, and the SNE region up to seacoast NH, Boston and Portland will be tracking less than half climate average snowfall through Christmas. But sure “optimism”. Snow colored glasses and chest pounding from 40/70 too. Good luck with the blogspot. It’s been so bad that 4” gets the attention of DCer’s around here.

So easy not to have a bias in science..

Temp - I didn't make it below freezing even here until well after midnight. As I posted above I had very little on my sidewalk and driveway.

Measured a few spots and came in with 5.5”. North side of Franklin square.
