Hideous.

When I'm wrong I'll admit it. I was not expecting this 10-14 days ago for Christmas week. Was expecting a relaxation of the cold but nothing like this nearly coast to coast torch. Euro EPS did well sniffing it out. GFS was not even close to reality. I was expecting a relaxation of the cold Christmas week but then a return to significantly colder between Christmas and New Year's. Not happening.

Nice! SE New England is hurting some though. Would love to see the same chart for the same date last year. We're off to a good start so far. Past performance is no indication of future results though.

I don't care what anybody says. That is impressive and was well advertised. We'll see where the month actually ends.

Temps dropping steadily. Down to 15 here.

Walt. I for one and I suspect most here will l miss your threads and very insightful and detailed posts. Have followed your AFD's since you were up at KBOX. I might have even saved some in a box somewhere. Many of them were meteorological masterpieces. Learned so much from you. Truly a treasure to have your insights here on these boards over all these years. You are 100% correct that health and family come first. I wish you all the best at Christmas, in the New Year and always! Please drop in here as you can even if just to post obs. THANK YOU !

I'd have to say this event over performed for most.

Wider view of snow cover.

Sun is breaking through the clouds here.

Exceeded my expectations and my forecast up this way. Was thinking along the lines of 3" max. Measured at 8am - 5.5". Melted .46". The NW edge of this really over performed for NWNJ area. Great old fashioned snow event with solid totals and colder air pouring in behind the system. Currently 21 degrees here. Mid teens to low 20's over NWNJ currently and likely not rising much today. Bitter cold tonight with solid snow cover. By the way the snow ratio here was 12:1.

Just a shame really. One of the longest periods of record and it has just been destroyed. From not measuring snow correctly to having temperature sensors in a thicket. Station with a long period of record has just been shot to hell.

Down to 27 with steady light snow now. Total .20”. 78737872339__848BC808-B7C3-4D99-8C53-71C29ED07154.MOV

That's what you call a trend right there !

Very light snow here. Still 29 degrees. Just a light coating on everything at this point. Less than .10" so far. Nice solid area of snow on radar covering all of eastern PA. Just about to cross the border into NJ. Should be snowing at a better clip here inside of 60 minutes.
