Sleet here on Staten Island

Thunder and lightning here

Lightning strikes on January 12th

Working in short sleeves on December 30th. I’ll take it

Remember Christmas Eve 2015 when we torched?  I'll be wearing about 8 extra layers than that day at work today.  

Flipped to snow on Staten Island as well

I think I just had some hail here in Bernardsville a couple mins ago.

We should see more muted drops here but could definitely see a 15-20F drop over 20-30 minutes. 

As someone who will be outside a bulk of the time from 6 AM til about 5 PM, I know that I'll be dressing in layers and sweating my ass off in the morning and then freezing my ass off in the evening.  

wow, that second wave really bombs out on the GFS.  955 low west of Maine.  

Almost exactly 12 years ago, the models were showing nada til 48 hours out. I got 30 inches of snow. Just saying

That ots run dropped a half foot on me. 

963 low just east of the benchmark at hr 198...  

Nope. GFS hour 9230 is like +17 AN!

EPS looks amazing with a strong WB -NAO as well as a nice -EPO that’ll provide the cold air and strong NS shortwaves

we’re going to have to be patient. not much has really changed, as most of the larger chances still likely come after the 15th. not to say that the 12th or so is shot, it’s just gravy compared to the latter half of the month
the blocking is happening, by the way. there’s way too much hemispheric support for it to fail at this point… it’s a common progression from Scandinavia that is also known to start with SE ridging! that’s how these regimes start. just have to let it play out

My hat blew off my head a few times already today. It’s a little breezy

I mean, I'll take a 2010-11 analog, even if the snows shut down at the end of January like that season did.  Give me a Boxing Day redux.  

I’ll take 50 and sunny the next 3 weeks while I deliver all your Christmas presents. I’m fine with mood flakes and an inch or two of snow after the 15th when all the cyber Monday stuff has long since been delivered. Let it rip and dump Boxing Day and beyond.

Got an 82 MPH wind gust during Sandy, which is the only time my weather station recorded a gust that was hurricane force.  

3.84 inches and counting for the storm total here on the south shore of Staten Island

I just turned on the heat. Really should have taken my air conditioner the other night too

.28 for the day so far. Storm total is 2.27 inches

.9 and counting with a steady rain going. .89 yesterday, will easily pass the 2 inch mark from the Ian remnants

Currently in Aruba, can report off and on tropical downpours and I’ve seen the occasional lightning. Light rain now with no wind, the party still goes on.

83 degrees with light rain showers from 98L down here in Aruba. I have a feeling I’ll see rain again from this system considering I’ll be back in NY in 48 hours

I’m in Aruba until Saturday afternoon. Expecting some impacts down here from 98L tomorrow night
