Damn it was all melted when I woke up at 10. I was glad to be awake at 6 am when I saw it on the ground. Never saw it fall though.

yep 2 inches in the Poconos! Nice surprise to get close to 1" in parts of the city!

It is but I wonder if we transposed the November pattern into December would we have the same outcome? And for that matter, how much colder would the November 2018 average temperatures be if we transposed them into December with the identical pattern? I agree about having a favorable pattern, and average monthly temperatures not being that important.... I would hesitate even further to compare November temps to December temps because the same pattern a month later would result in a different (lower) average temp.

I remember in the 80s when we used to get little events like these and we treasured them lol. 4" was rare so that was like a blockbuster. Even getting a 1" snow event was a treat.

Yeah it looks like we have an uptick of both cold and flu over last year already. People were more cautious last year than they are now.

Checking through records we already had close to 130 heat index in July 1995 and just a few years ago in July we had a 117 heat index on back to back days. I'm a huge fan of dry heat though I hate humidity more than I hate anything else on this planet. I want westerly winds all summer long.

It could be very similar to what we got this time, just coming from the SW instead of NW. coating-1 inch

But you can't compare November to December lol, the average temperatures are radically different. Also, average temperatures are just a smoothed out mean for the whole month and meaningless for extremes on individual days which are still possible. It's an apples to oranges comparison. Was 15-16 our only 40/40 winter? I seem to recall there was another one here. Also 11-12 was a horrendous winter, that one day might have been the only decent snowfall that entire winter.

110 at Newark? Nah we already got super close to it in July 2011. Not a huge deal, especially with a/c It's just as historic as getting a 30 inch snowstorm. People who actually LOVE weather should ROOT for ALL weather extremes. Anyone who doesn't like extreme heat is just FAT.

If people don't have a/c they should have it put in for them, in our new climate THERE'S NO WAY ANYONE CAN LIVE WITHOUT IT.

it was already gone at 10 when I woke up lol But we did get our first measurable snow

0.2 at JFK too, it was all melted by the time I woke up.

It's amazing how quickly a/c usage drops from Portland to Seattle to Vancouver, but they never ever get this kind of heat so it's understandable. I never thought any place in Canada was capable of hitting 120, in the US it's confined to only the hottest part of the country. I heard a town was burned from all the fires (Lytton?)

I didn't see any snowflakes but apparently it fell because all rooftops here are white as well as cartops and trees! I guess this is what happens when it snows in the middle of the night, you don't actually see it fall but you see the "ground truth" haha. First measurable for the city and local airports?

well this snow helps, I actually saw there is snow on the trees and rooftops and cars and the last time I saw that was back at the end of November. So the city and airports got their first measurable snow last night? I didn't see it fall but that's what happens when it's the middle of the night lol.

I'm hoping for more like Summer 2010 than some disgusting high humidity summer.

aren't we in the middle of the negative phase of the PDO cycle now? I see some predictions for a big east coast winter next year hopefully we get a big el nino which is whats needed to make that happen. I hope the Pacific gets so hot that steam is rising from it.

great -AO in 2010 controlled our weather

storm track shifts causing less suppressed and offshore storms increasing snowfall totals in NE cities? so storms that would give DC and Balt snowfall and then head out to sea are coming farther north and staying closer to the coast (because of warmer SST)

how is JFK reporting snow and fog at the same time? I have 0 here

says light snow at JFK but I didnt see anything here

people need an outlet for their anger.....this helps so thanks

these aren't people-- these are zombies and they should be treated as such. Anyone who does that should be arrested on the spot and dragged away by the cops.

how come I didnt see a single flake here? How did it skip this area?

everyone needs to have a/c by now. It should actually be illegal for everyone not to have a/c
