    I think on Eastern.  Jeff would have post snow storm analysis.  What went wrong, or right, with most major winter storms.  It was a great learning tool.  He used to state, "The devil is in the details", meaning there are clues as to the outcome of each winter storm.  It is a matter of choosing the correct clues.

    So it is that long ago. It was a bummer when he moved, he always had very informative posts, as you recall as well.

    Pocono region across nw NJ and se NYS into sw CT 1AM-9AM Wednesday (tomorrow) morning 11/19. A 2-5 hour period of wet snow that could accumulate 1/2-1.5"-especially grass. Valley roads 600 feet or below just wet because of temps just above freezing but accumulations on untreated pavements expected for the hills where the temp will drop to 30, especially 1000 feet or higher. The northern extent of the snow shield is a little uncertain but prepare to slow down a bit in your early Wednesday morning travel. There ?might? be a 2 hour delay for high terrain schools north of I80. Overall minor impact anticipated. The southern extent of snow somewhere between I80 and I78 and it probably will melt on most pavements south of I80.

    Thanks Walt. I’m thinking I’m a bit too far north for this little event, you concur?

    Chance of flurries tonight?

    I caught flurries in the middle of the night on a camera I have along the woods line. The flurries didn’t trigger it but the two bucks going back and forth did. Hard to tell exactly how big but one appeared to be a young 4 pointer, the other larger one appeared to be at least a 6, possibly 8, pointer. As a result of the clouds it didn’t get a cold as forecast here, off by about 5 degrees, low of 34.

    Recorded 0.3 inches in early afternoon squall. How did the rest of the HV do?

    I had various periods of flurries and snow showers during the day. The squall that came through around lunch time dropped visibility to 1/4 mile and left .2 on the board.

    Official first flakes flying at various times today. Low was only 29, forecasted to be 25, 34/22 currently. 

    Official first measurable earlier as a heavy squall moved through dropping temps and visibility under 1/4 mile briefly left .2 on the board which has all since melted, 36/25 now.

    Many accidents in Sussex County, including my 18 yr old on the way to school. Thankfully, she’s okay. Trooper got 6 more calls while writing up the report. He noted the icy conditions as he himself slid while pulling up to the scene.

    Glad she’s ok. Christmas Eve 2013 my 21 year old son slid off the road with his two younger brothers in the snow squalls that moved through that evening. They were also ok but it’s nerve wracking for sure.

    Monitor whats going on in the Delmarva -I95 corridor... VERY sharp trough developing eastern USA.

    WPC D1 from this afternoon mirrored the SPC HREF D1... looks too low in my NOWcast mode as I look at the radar and multiple models. Am looking for 1/4-3/4" for much of the subforum by Noon tomorrow between 7P tonight and Noon Monday.  This past Fri-through Noon Monday should see 0.3-1.25" for the 4 day period by the time we look at CoCoRaHs range of dates. 

    .40" overnight brings me to .75" since Friday.

    I just moved up here from central NC. Had been there my whole life aside from a year and a half in DC. And boy I’ve had my share of disappointment. Hope I’m not too late on the climate change scale to experience a snowy NYC winter. Excited to learn some of the fundamentals of this climo!

    Welcome! If you're a football fan, how do you like Bill? My guess is that since you were not up here for the very snowy period that some here grew up with and thought was the new normal, you won't be disappointed especially when you compare a winter here with those further south.
