I missed it but the snow squall must have been very intense here based on new snow measurement and radar review. Must have been very intense for a short duration and based on radar there was light to moderate snow for a bit after the line passed. New snow measured at 8:00 a.m. = 1.7" with a melted total of .08". High ratio stuff on the leading edge of fresh Arctic air. So pissed I missed it. Saw it coming on radar and then fell asleep.

Had some snow flurries a little while ago. Another huge road salt dump late this afternoon. Trucks dumping salt and spraying brine all over the place.

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.

2:45. Temp 38 just a little bit left

Same here. No melting yesterday. Snow depth yesterday morning was 2.8" and this morning 2.6" from a little compaction. 100% coverage and roof tops and trees still snow covered.

I do that Gone are the days of getting into an ice cold car.

Can you imagine what a heating bill would look like these days with a mean monthly temp of 25? Have to believe it would cause hardship for many.

QPF was pretty much as expected .4 to .6" forum wide, a few exceptions. A forecast of 3-6" or 4-8" was the way to go. Most places fell in that range. Obviously lower totals of those ranges west and higher east. Just picking a few spots on LI and southern CT where precip was all snow for the event the ratios were no better than 10:1 at most places. That should put to rest "cold temperatures = higher ratios" way more involved than just temperatures. Click map to enlarge.

Man of many talents. Nice pictures as always ! !

Anyone know WHY they moved the all the weather sensors from the castle to a thicket? Just don't understand why they would have moved them and screwed up a VERY long period of record. Makes no sense.

I guess we're all always in search of the elusive KU / NESDIS Cat. 5 snowstorm ! Gotta believe.

Thanks! We back up to the Berkshire Valley Wildlife Management Area. It is very quiet and peaceful. Sometimes if the atmospheric conditions are right we can hear the hum of Rt. 80 but in NJ hard to get away from all road noise no matter where you go. Bear, deer, fox and sometimes wild turkeys wander through the backyard.

Finished up with 2.8" here. Had about .70" crusty crap when I went to bed at around 11:15 but radar had filled in nicely and I was expecting 1-2" additional based on that. Fell just short of the low end of my forecast of 3-6". Melted total was exactly .5" and that was right in line with the model consensus. Was thinking .4 - .6". I knew we were in trouble very early on with sleet all through EPA, including Scranton and most of western NJ starting out as mostly sleet. No matter it looks nice out there this morning. My street is a mess from the sleet being covered by snow and temperatures in the upper teens. Kind of an ice sheet even with salting. Compressed sleet in cold temperatures covered by snow never a good thing.
