Good morning Rob. I would have enjoyed the company of your father in law. ….. “preserve your memories, they’re all that’s left you” ….. as always ….

 

He's an interesting character, we enjoy our time together. He's never used a computer, any type of cell phone, never been on the internet, never used an ATM, doesn't use the microwave.

aren't these phantasy output by the model at that range?

They are and there is no logical reason to dissect a 200+ hour ops map. 

.3 of leaf blower clean up snow here this morning. 

The posts about how much oil has been consumed in the past month reminds me of another story about my father-in-law, the guy who thought my snowboard was a great place to dump scrap food for all the animals outside but I digress. He tells me once “I went from Williamsport to here on a quarter tank of gas. Isn’t that good?!” 
“I don’t know, maybe. How big is your tank and how many miles was it?” I replied. 
Looking at me kinda complexed he says, “I’m not sure of the gas tank size but it was a quarter of a tank! That’s good!”  
After a bit of a blank stare from me all I could muster out then was “OK, that’s great. What do you want to watch on tv?"

.3 of fluff total here, another leaf blower clean up.

Down to 14.0F already. Forecast low is 13. Still breezy. If wind dies with full snow cover and clear skies, it's gunna get colder than 13.

Forecasted low is 16 here and I'm at 10 and continue dropping. 

Don't underestimate the drifts that .5 on top of a glacier can cause in this wind, so good ones out here along 416. 

.5 here under bright sunny skies now, 20/7.

Is there a way to get snowfall obs for official climo sites yet? Anyone know what fell at the climo sites?

I have no idea, I do know .5 here. 

Happy New Year to all of us that live out yonder! Have had flurries and light snow all evening, not much new on the ground but that line to the NW looks interesting.

December Precipitation at my location:

Melted: 3.88"

Snowfall: 13.1"

Precipitation total for 2025: 43.43". 

Not a bad total just that is was very lean rainfall wise during the time of year that it was needed most.  In addition there were wetter periods followed by long periods with little precipitation.

Healthy and Happy New Year to all.

December IMBY:

Melted: 3.24"

Snowfall: 17.0"

Precipitation Total for 2025: 42.38

4" at the stake this morning.

His Davis has been up all day so I asume he has power. 

His camera is running as well. 

Need some fresh snow to cover up all the tree debris all over the snowpack. 

4" at the stake, had a coating this morning that blew all over due to the glacier out there, 28/13 currently.

How much survived ? We have about 3” here. 100% coverage 

Looks to be 3-4" and definitely 100% coverage out there. The minimum time of juicy dews today, the denser snowpack to begin with and the close to .1 of ice from the freezing rain on top were all factors here. 

Whew, made it through with solid snow cover. The temp is 45 now but will be dropping very shortly, the dews thankfully started dropping over an hour ago, after a high of 41 the dew is now back down to 26. Only had two hours of dews upper 30s, which is when the pack really starts to go.

Guess we could see a quick spike in temps before they start falling again

I spiked up here, up to 41 now.

35 degrees light rain continues. Amazing when it's liquid how the radar keeps filling in to the west. 
 

Snow pack still pretty solid. If it can get through the rest of the day we should have a solid chuck of snow and ice that should withstand the December early January sun. 

Up to 33 here. I was thinking the same thing while looking at the solid 5” snow cover out there at the moment, if it can make it through the next 6 hours or so it won’t go anywhere for a while. Glad I had the banks pushed back this morning.

Wasn’t their someone here saying that all it ever does is rain on New Year’s Eve? Hmmm

32.5 here with dense fog, Snow pack pretty much intact so far.

32.2 here, I was still below freezing until the last 30 minutes when it started creeping up.

EPS looks really good Jan 5 onward. 

Why anyone would post an operational 288 map is beyond me.

Poking my nose in to comment on this. I read your forum a lot for analysis, but don't post, but this one got me thinking.

There are new weather terms and phrases are annoying, but the one that gets me the most is "puking snow" when it's snowing heavily. It just sounds stupid...and gross.

That and "getting crushed"

I've been debating this one. I'm calling it a white Christmas as of 7am observation, and I believe official time to declare a white Christmas or not. If I did it as of right now it's 50-50.

Anyway it was much better last year with a 4 1/2 inch snowpack Christmas morning that had been freshened up on Christmas Eve with the inch and a half that fell that morning, but I digress. 
 

Merry Christmas North and West and northeast people, where our best winters start around Thanksgiving and begrudgingly leave us in late March.

Now that I've had some time for various thighs to settle down this post just came to mind. Correct at the 7am time. Your screen name mocks the lack of proper snow measuring and you're debating if it was a white Christmas for you? You either had 1" or more or you didn't? Were you saying half your yard had more than an inch? I had spots with more than an inch but none of them were in my snow board or at my snow stake. It would be interesting to get a ruling here. @NorthShoreWx
