fits this seasons pattern so far if it’s true. On this forum, Im particularly cautious when too many jump at a storm signal or pattern change over seven days out. too many variables

Beats the last one they put out

For all the torch/bad winter/warm water/missed chances posts…Belleayre today

Common theme since November. Background state is just a bit cooler now. at this point just settle for the fact that you’re having a rather normal temperature stretch in December and if you get lucky (like inland areas did Sunday) with one of these events, so be it. If the goods are still 7 to 10 days out…this is your December.

22F this morning with that snow on ground really helping pull the temperature down

Welcome to being a Mets fan :). Friday is rain. The show this week was yesterday

1 inch of snow in Hastings om Hudson. Giddy like a kid in Raleigh

Hastings on Hudson. Still snowing. Accumulations all post sunset

Hey I have ground covered. Good enough!

Im going to Plug you all winter. Bravo, sir. Bravo. This is your storm!

Finally accumulating in Hastings. But the flakes are huge. I don’t know if it’s going to turn over to rain. Snow Globe esque

Mod Snow in Hastings. All wet. No accumulation. Been snowing light to moderate for past hour. if we get any accumulation at all, it will be after the sun sets with these temperatures.

actually MJO won this round with todays event. Happy to tell you that too

Back end world almost never works in NYC metro sadly

Yeh… just like Thursday looks too Someone’s gonna do very well on the interior sections tomorrow

Why dont we concentrate on tomorrows storm instead of obsessing over a storm a week from now? anytime this forum gets all hyped up a week out… It always leads to disappointment.

25F this morning. Colder than forecast

Long Island…

the rare Miller B! Im always more comfortable with an A…it’s what I know

too early. at least it feels like Dec today

There is no cold air. Even overnight lows up this way are just below freezing. you need a thread the needle event to manufacture cold air.

up at Belleayre this morning. not worth a photo. conditions are borderline spring conditions. 39F. Fog and drizzle with breaks of sun. pretty awful start to the ski season… frankly it’s a miracle they’re open at all

if it happens, I’ll give you a lot of credit.you were calling for something this weekend. That’s close enough for me.

What you are looking at is a blip on the radar during a transition period before snowfall and prolonged winter becomes rare in places like the NYC metro. The finale, the throwing of fuel on the fire, etc. 30-40 years from now when snowfall is 10 inches or less except for those one off years where we get a big storm. Like interior North Carolina. Trend lines are all there. No dire predictions here. It is coming and it’s coming is accelerating. Most of us will see it. you are really seeing it play out in real time in December. I watched all these meteorologists looking out at forecast models three weeks ahead, telling me how this December was gonna be very cold and snowy. we haven’t had a very cold and snowy December in years. and we likely won’t have one again. There will be one offs here and there, but the ocean waters and corresponding airmass have lobbed the month of Dec off winter in our area. The March addition that many talk about is, again, an aberration until it disappears
