3/8" in ~30 min, which is overperforming. That would translate to an inch or so over 90 minutes (looks like a 90 minute wide swath of snow by radar). Most reports in NWNJ/NEPA/SENY where the snow is about over are for 1-1.5", but they were expected to get a bit more, as the band is supposed to weaken some as it heads SE. If it doesn't I think we'll get an inch or more in most of CNJ. Still 27F.

Well, we got 1/8" in the first 15 minutes of snow (started around 7:30 am) which is 1/2" per hour rate, so if this goes for 1.5 hours at this rate, that's 3/4". Will take it. Every flake is accumulating so roads already covered. 27F.

Just went from nada to moderate snow in the last 5 minutes. Nice start!

Let's hope the HRRR isn't as good as it was for the Fri/Sat storm as it has hugely cut down on precip/snow since 0Z...

Was just brutal. I like Schiano as a program builder, teacher of young men, and mostly as a coach, but on occasion, he makes some bonehead decisions and calling TO when IL was going to try a 58 yard FG into a 20 mph wind on 4th and 13 with 15 seconds left was the worst ever. After calling TO just as the ball was snapped, the kick was still attempted as often happens and was 20 yards short, so the IL coach knew there was no chance and they called a pass play instead and scored a TD after every RU defender whiffed on the WR. Ugh.

That's easy - try being a Rutgers fan, lol.

Wow, you had 10.5"?

You seem more negative than you used to be about potential winter weather - you also called for no snow at all for NYC Metro the other day, which was surprising. C'mon, we got a nice 3.3" the other day a bit more likely tomorrow and while long range patterns are always a bit iffy, it's at least positive to see nice teleconnection signals for a change.

This would be nice. The HRRR did great with the storm the other day...

I think folks must be off their game. How could a snowfall map like this not have been posted yet? lol.

Even without any new snow, I expect to have at least 1" OTG Weds am, as we got 3.3" in the recent storm and still have over 2" right now, after some melting/compaction yesterday and almost no melting today obviously and should be minimal melting tomorrow, and I can't imagine losing more than 1" on Tuesday with about 8 hours of temps just a bit above 32F. Of course, a little top-off of snow Tuesday am would be nice.

With about 1.6MM people in Manhattan, let's guess that 1% live close enough to walk easily to CPK in the snow, which would be 16,000 people and let's assume 1% of them care about the CPK snow measurement, which is 160 people. Surely one of those folks (probably on this board, lol) must be curious enough to walk into CPK at the end of a snowfall to measure the snow on a small board they placed somewhere in the park on the grass away from concrete. No?

At roughly 3.5F per 1000 feet in elevation, you're probably close to 1.5F colder than folks at 100'. Certainly makes a difference.

Wow, you guys really overperformed. I wonder how much of that was due to your elevation.

Well, act like a kid and go out and measure it. And throw a snowball and make a snow angel. It's still fun even at my age.

Anything from Central Park yet? No PNS yet from NWS-NYC...

So our 3.3" was just slightly below my 1.25" prediction (and the NWS ~0.8" prediction early on 12/20), lol. Wasn't quite as much of an overperformer as 2/17/24, when we got 11.25" in the Norlun Trough Deathband from Heaven vs. the 3-5" predicted, but still a substantial positive bust. I'll take it and I suspect most others won't mind this one, as it's a Saturday and accumulations on pavement for those outside of far NW locations was minor. Plus, this much snow with the coming cold means a white Christmas. This plus about 0.3" from the snow showers on 12/5 puts me at 3.6" for the season.

Swear I posted this 30 minutes ago, but I don't see it, so here goes... As of about 6:50 am we had 3.2" on the ground, as per the picture, and since then we got about another 0.1" for a final total of 3.3", as the snow appears to be over as of about 7:15 am. Damn fine storm, way overperforming my prediction of 1.25" - I'll take the bust, lol, as it's just so gorgeous out there, as per the 2nd pic of the pond across the street from us (have always loved that view from our house). It's down to 30F. And now the bitter cold comes, so I'd expect us to have our first white Christmas in years, as temps won't go above 32F again until Tuesday afternoon (and just barely into the mid-30s and then back below 32F by sunset) and the sun angle for melting doesn't get any lower.

Jeff's reports were excellent and, well, you do have a red tag, so maybe it's time to pick up the proverbial torch. :>)

Thanks!!

Do you really need all that text in your sig? It really clutters up the board...
