You posted in this thread on Saturday unless there is another post you are referring to that was taken down.

Sorry, bust day at work. It was steady light snow for a few hours but has stopped as of right now. Untreated roads/sidewalks are slick and there are numerous accidents reported throughout Orange County. I did have time to report that on mPING earlier, keep that resource in mind as it can be useful. Stay safe out there.

Yeah, that's one of them, I was on that one in between NE.Weather and Eastern.

I’ve learned plenty from folks up in NE after the years but the first time I read a Walt discussion it was long before this particular board let along sub regional forums. You think there’s arguing now between what NYC may get versus up here, the arguments then on a unified board were epic at times. Folks doing play by play on models for the whole eastern seaboard LOL. I did not see how much that ski area got but I was impressed with some of the snow totals the BGM NWS posted this morning.

I had no issues yesterday but just tried to submit a ‘None’ report thru the app on my phone and got “Report Submission Failed. Sorry, unable to submit your report”

Inside jokes like AWTHDNVIRJ3RH? Yes, I appreciate @wdragcontributions here as well.

That's a good post, I agree. Many solid posters that I've interacted with for decades and enjoy reading most of the time up in New England. To your snobby point, I do recall many years ago now one poster in particular who was questioning why I was even in that forum posting since it was only for people "from New England". My reply to that though is that technically I am from New England, well northern New England and this poster is someone who moved to southern New England years ago, as I was born in Laconia and lived in the Lakes Region of NH. That poster pokes around the NYC forum on the regular so I guess they got over their segregated thoughts.

Already on social media.

.1 from earlier

Legit snow squall here for these parts, visibility maybe a quarter mile.

Agreed but many never learn that, which is astounding to me. Have some flurries in the air here now.

Thanks Walt. I know I was never buying into anything from this one so if I see some flakes in the air it'll be a win IMO.

Have a patchy dusting in the yard this morning. 32/20 under gray skies.

True but I'm a results guy, I don't care what the spread is.

I'm still in shock, not used to them performing so well in big games but this is the Freeman era and what a job he and staff did! That said, concerned about the mounting injuries but this is incredible. HERE COME THE IRISH!

I had a few periods of legit light snow between 9-11am but it lasted less than 10 minutes each time and melted on contact.

There’s some occasional flakes

Without question, THE Postage Stamp is a piece of this neck of the woods! And you know if you do t check in every once in a while I'll go looking for ya.

The .41", mostly before midnight, put me solidly above normal for precip for December. 43/41 at the moment.

I know it's been expressed in the past for us to have an annual thread to make looking old posts easier so here it is folks:

As is tradition here is our new annual thread, Happy New Year to all of us hinterland folks.

Even a lighting strike up here near the 'Canadian border'

Mesoscale Discussion 2324 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0556 PM CST Tue Dec 31 2024 Areas affected...Parts of the Mid Atlantic Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 312356Z - 010200Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...Strong thunderstorms will spread northeastward through the evening. Small to marginally severe hail and locally gusty winds remain possible. A brief tornado also cannot be ruled out near the Delmarva region. DISCUSSION...A long-lived thunderstorm cluster is moving northeastward across parts of eastern MD/VA early this evening, in association with a strong midlevel shortwave trough and 1000 mb surface low moving across the Mid Atlantic region. The northern portion of this cluster appears to be outpacing the northward return of modest surface-based instability, but increasing elevated moisture and buoyancy will help to maintain the cluster as it approaches DE and southern NJ. MUCAPE increasing to near/above 500 J/kg and strong effective shear will continue to support organized convection. Small to marginally severe hail will continue to be possible with both the ongoing cluster and with elevated storms developing ahead of the cluster, due to cold temperatures aloft (below -20C at 500 mb) associated with the shortwave trough. Increasing low-level stability may tend to limit the severe-wind threat with northeastward extent, though locally strong/damaging gusts may accompany the more organized convective elements, especially from southern NJ into the Delmarva. A brief tornado also cannot be ruled out where convection remains near-surface-based, especially near the Delmarva where the southern portion of the ongoing cluster will intercept modestly increasing MLCAPE. ..Dean/Bunting.. 12/31/2024

It's going to be too cold to snow, just saw it on social media. It's ovah.

Yeah, there's a clear difference.
