    I"m going with 4-6" for my location and I think I at least mix for a time before going back to snow. I've got some elevation to work with here and that is going to help. Morristown to my southeast at lower elevation I think is 2-4" with a flip to mix or even plain rain for a time.

    Surprised not much talk (unless I missed it) of potential pending major Arctic dump into the western 1/3 of U.S. late next week. Some amazing temperature departures loom and polar vortex potentially drops south over the general vicinity of the Rockies. Subject to some change but could be bordering on historic cold for the Pacific NW on south. Rain and wind event for our area (Tuesday/Wednesday) likely to produce moderate to major river flooding and power outages over large area of the Tri-State region. Winds could be real deal even for inland areas this go round.

    This ! All of this !

    Better hope that trend does not persist. I abandoned suppression solutions yesterday. Still not convinced even interior does not have mixing issues before all is said and done. That 50/50 low is the only thing saving the day from a hugger or cutter. Surface high pressure nice to have but not ideal location by any means and not that cold of an air mass to work with. We'll see where this heads as guidance rolls in today, tonight and tomorrow. I'd keep enthusiasm in check for inland areas and as for the coast consider it a win if you can break the lack of 2" streak.

    Exactly! It was just the details that took a bit to fine tune but those maps were classic "big event" look.

    Nice to have a high to the "north" but that is far from a classic "look" for snow in the big cities. Personally I like the "banana" look with center over the northern lakes. That high position with marginal cold air to begin with ain't gonna cut it along and southeast of I95. Even interior could have issues with mix depending on exact track. I'm not sold on an all snow solution for any part of this sub forum to be honest. I'm more concerned for further north coast hugger than suppression.

    It is a week away. The details are far from certain and the models WILL waffle back and forth. I'm just happy there is some potential and something to track. Looks like legit chance of measurable snow especially interior. For now just watch the model trends....long way to go.

    Ugly, just ugly.

    Not much mention about the state of the Great Lakes water temps and ice cover. Just checked. On average GL water temps are running about 12 degrees F warmer than this date last year. Average ice coverage is .20%. Neither of those two things is going to help us chill down in any notable way over the next 2 weeks at least. Any "cold" air mass crossing those waters is going to modify significantly. If we could get a frigid air mass to surge southeastward over those warm waters the LE snow guns would roar but not seeing that happen anytime soon.

    Yes, keep filter clean, vents on device clean and dump and clean the catch container daily.

    Two day rainfall = 2.48". December = 10.43". 2023 = 63.76"

    I'd be careful running a dehumidifier. If not kept clean you can pump all sorts of bacteria and mold into the air on top of what you may already have. You've got to keep them clean.

    A simpler place and time. Something to be said for that.
  15. MANDA
    Nope, it sure ain't if it verifies.

    Not expecting any snow here for the rest of December. That being the case I will be behind the curve of last December when 4" of snow fell here. My expectations on this December were very low but I didn't think it would suck quite this much. My expectations for January are also guarded to say the least, especially if the opening half of the month craps the bed.

    Two day event total = 4.44". (3.82" and .62") Trace snow this morning as well.
  18. MANDA
    I did. Trace amount of the deck. Two day rainfall total = 4.44" (3.82"+ .62")
  19. MANDA
    3.82" here as of 8am. Winds nothing notable. Maybe some gusts to 20 mph. earlier this morning. Ground is saturated.

    3.82" here as of 8am. Winds nothing notable. Maybe a few gusts to 20 mph earlier this morning. The ground is saturated.

    Getting off and on torrential downpours here. Would do a July or August day proud for intensity / rainfall rates. The bursts of rain have been brief but just shows you the atmosphere is primed for heavy downpours. Someone in NJ west of I-95 sees 6" in my opinion.
  22. MANDA
    Will be bad news if verifies. Saturated ground and SE winds of that intensity = not good. Tree and power line damage likely. Again, if it verifies. Models have been overzealous with wind forecasts with several events in the recent past.

    500 MB HTS in the low 560's is something most of us don't want on Christmas morning. The 546 at KINL not much better!
  24. MANDA
    Not getting any U.S. cold shots between Christmas and New Year's if that is correct! It is a 360 hour prog but the trend is your friend in this pattern. **IF** this come close to reality it will take a while to scour out that Canadian warmth so the first 7-10 days of January **COULD** be shot.

    2.46" rainfall here. Snowfall .30". Everything was plastered and caked in a wet snow. Only concrete and blacktop remained wet. To Walt's point elevation played big role. Drove down off the top of the ridge I live on (1060') and once to Rt. 80 exit 30, just a mile away very little snow and mainly wet. Bit of elevation near Rockaway on 80 and ground was whitened go down 100' or so and all gone.
