All Activity

Now that’s a man squall. Hopefully holds together further east.

Basically a garbage look from the 7th to the 14th or so. Seems like it gets better after.

Breezy, flurries, and 7 degrees here on the Magical Tug Hill. We received 4-5" additional snow overnight. A dusting for Tug standards. Today at snow camp our mission is to intercept the maga band that is going to develop today. It's going to drop 4+ feet and we want to be there. We have a total of 3 base locations. We're not playing around at snow camp 2026.

That was awesome.

Good solid dusting here in 21057

13 degrees this morning. Definitely picked up enough snow to snow blow. After I finished my coffee will get a measurement.

So I set my alarm and got up at 3am to experience the squall. While it was impressive, it wasn't the hardest I've ever seen it snow in a squall. In fact, at the end of my upcoming video, the squall that hit Hazleton on Monday evening was as, if not more, intense than last night's. That being said, it was still a good one and I ended up with 1.25" out of it, as my overall measurement was 1.50" which included the light snow activity that began after 6pm. Due to my sheltered location, my peak gust during the squall was a paltry 8.8 mph, while stations in more open locations recorded 20+mph. There was no visible lightning or audible thunder, but my station did record three nearby strikes. Was it a good squall? Yes Was it worth setting my alarm for? Not really

Just woke up in Morrisville to an inch of snow, was not expecting that. Bummed I slept through it! Upload the video if you can

First official car topper of 2026. Happy New Year!

SE ridge coming on you.

Must be a fun ride on 395.

some, nothing crazy at all

Guestimating it's about 20 miles away now......we wait.

Just starting here in Brooklyn, but looking T radar I will miss the best snow to my north

any wind with it?

It was ok here - def not great but the snow growth was absolutely insane. Very large dendrites - just moderate snow though

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).
