Had a brief dusting with the first round of snow showers about 45 minutes ago. Enough to log a "trace" for the day but not measurable. But it did lower the temp from 40F to 31F very quickly. Sun is back out now but perhaps a more legitimate squall appears to be approaching from the west.

5.0" was the event total here. All snow from 10am to 5pm with 3.3" of accumulation, then about four hours of sleet (0.5" accumulation) with a brief period of freezing rain before going back to snow after 9pm. Picked up an additional 1.2" of snow after the late changeover.

32/30 -SN 4.8" total accumulation

32/30 -SN 4.0" total accumulation

Rapidly changing back to snow now. Probably 80% snow and 20% sleet. Total accumulation still at 3.8" on the day but we should add a little to that now.

Still pinging here in North Salem as well. We did have a brief period where it was probably 80% fzra and 20% sleet but that didn't last long. It was just enough to produce a light crusty layer on top of the earlier snow/sleet accumulation. It seems the fzra is done but we're definitely sleet at the moment. Although it isn't quite the event I had hoped for, it's still nice to have something in the month of December which has been eluding this area for the last few years.

32/30 -FZRAPL 3.8" total accumulation with a light glaze on top now

30/28 PL 3.5" total accumulation

30/28 -SNPL 3.3" total so far.

30/28 -SNPL 3.0" total so far. Looks like some solid echoes are about to move in, but I feel like we're going to be dancing with the mix line for the next several hours now.

Yep, the NAM seems to have a better handle on the mid-level warm layer compared to the HRRR. Having said that, it looks like the northward progress of the mix line MAY have halted or even been knocked back a bit over Essex County MA...but could be just a temporary trend. Hard to say at this point if we have a snowy or an icy evening coming up.

30/28 -SN 2.8" total so far in Salem NH. Watching that mix line creeping toward us.

30/28 -SN 2.0" total so far.

30/28 -SN. Total accumulation of 1.7" so far.

30/27 -SN continues. Total accumulation 1.1" in North Salem NH. Sadly, this is now the most significant December snowfall since I moved to this location in 2022. Really underscores how these last few seasons have really struggled to get started, even in southern NH. This is a nice change.
