Feel like the warning now shouldn’t be in place as NAM has, of course, back even further off while RAP is basically all on its own in disseminating the band still being in play

750-800’ in SW Sullivan right on the Delaware with PA basically right there

New NAM would be nice, but not probable. Would deliver most of the thump with >10:1 (at least north of 84) and ending result is a much wider area of 5-8” with some 10” spots

Already set up with a WSWatch for 5-8 before the change happens. Gotta hedge lower for me since elevation, but at least it’ll be something to close the month with. Likely running at least 1-1.5’ below normals for this point of the season

Folks like @snywxand I may sneak in an advisory event with Sunday-Monday, but if I want to find the highest totals I probably need to go to at least 1k+, not sure how much that’d matter especially if it could just get all washed away come Wednesday

The bottom has fallen out. Can you believe we’ll see 50s again by the end of next week?

Meanwhile we’re all technically at lower pressures than the 70 MPH gusting, intense snowfall Buffalo lol

Meanwhile…. MSV AND Central Park have a lower pressure than Buffalo at this time which is crazy (both at 982.6)

31.3, obs to my west peg temps there at 26. Temp tumble happening at a steady rate.

Beach Lake obs to my west seem to be crashing at a quicker rate. 26 there, 31.3 here

Snowing 33, crash of about 7 degrees in 40 minutes thus far

Wouldn’t think so

Now below 40F (or still 41-42 on Wunderground) That line developing is going to mean big problems for city on east

Feel like an SPC MD needs to be on that one

Surprised an SPC MD isn’t attached to this

temps still steadily coming down, still not much wind to report of. now to 42 after it was 51 three hours ago edit: snow line to Scranton?

High for the day must have been achieved about an hour ago at 51F. Now 48, let the front come in

Not much in the wind category here either, though northern Sullivan definitely gusted 40+. Pressure down to 985, the wind threat for you and I probably turns to the front but probably more like gusts 30-40 from here snowpack didn’t get detonated so that’s a plus

The thump stopped about 2 or so hours ago, the climb begins. Going to figure out how to position myself to watch this front pass tomorrow, as someone younger than most (mid 20s) I can’t recall getting to see a frontal passage this potent

2018 1st-3rd — 39” in upstate NY and a rather notable wind event 6th-7th — 20+” in NNJ (I only got 7” and I was only about maybe 60 miles north of the death band) 12th-14th Boston special 18th? NYC special and ~18” on LI 5th was either later month or April 1st/2nd

Actually thumping pretty decently out right now, but with temperatures closing on 32 anyway I can’t imagine this’ll continue for more than the next 3-4 hours

Meanwhile, Dillon, Montana dropped 26 degrees in three minutes:

Another grincher storm just in time for the holidays, unfortunate but at least there’s only maybe 3-4” of pack leftover from last week’s pair of events as compared to the 18” of pack from Christmas 2020’s grincher what I’d give to be in Buffalo or Watertown this weekend, though, another king-sized LES event for those areas

Could also be a way to describe the “schoolchildren’s blizzard” from the high plains two months previously: From Nat.Geo “On January 12, 1888, the so-called “Schoolchildren’s Blizzard” kills 235 people, many of whom were children on their way home from school, across the Northwest Plains region of the United States. The storm came with no warning, and some accounts say that the temperature fell nearly 100 degrees in just 24 hours.” Veracity of the accounts is something I’m not so sure of, mind you

50s to teens in six hours, pretty fascinatingly absurd
