According to some accounts I've read on this storm there was thunder and lightning in the hours around and just after mid-night (12/24-12/25) in the metro area.

I really have trouble biting on anything outside of 7-10 days. Beyond day 10 and especially day 15 it has been pure speculation last several years. Modeling has been very "jumpy" it seems to me. Taking OP runs surface features as anything more than "interesting" is foolhardy.

Overnight low here of +2 (1.9 to be exact) and still a solid snow cover with an average depth of 3.5". Well below zero in the usual NJ cold spots.
-
Overnight low of 8 here. Some mins across NJ and a satellite pic that shows the extent of the snow cover.

Very happy for you ! Nobody wanted this more than you. Glad you got it finally. -
Yes. This snowfall will stick around for several days out here as opposed to the prior ones. For the season I'm at 14.3". No complaints.

Snow and melted totals. Click to enlarge.

Total here was 5.2”. Water content of .37” is 14:1 ratio. Over performance for many this event. Seems like areas models were targeting for max amounts received the max amounts but they were higher than modeled by 2-3” in some cases.

Will measure at 7am but eyeballing 3” to 3-1/2”. Wind getting a bit gusty. Looks really wintry! Snow is very dry and blowing off rooftops. Still steady light snow ongoing. Temperature 26.

I was only going with about 1-2” here so I am going to be “busting” low if this continues much longer. Going to look and feel wintry here for several days that’s for sure.
-
Still hanging at 27 - 27.4 degrees. Been steady in that range since sunset. Just measured 2” on the nose. Steady light snow continues. 75644219665__537877BA-D614-42F8-81E8-020E545CC4AB.MOV

Currently 27 and steady light snow ongoing. Total 1.2".
-
Steady light snow here. Down to 27. Once we got past 4:00 it almost immediately started to stick on my not well traveled street. Street was just wet all day, except along the edges. Looks pretty outside especially taking into account the holiday season. Will take a measurement at 6pm.

A quick video before it gets dark. Currently 29 degrees . 75642090659__FB5E00DA-A2ED-494E-AC12-D2ECAA86C0C8.MOV

Yeah. That won't be an issue until Sunday.
-
About the same conditions here. Just shy of .2".
-
Light to very light snow so far here today. Scattered light coating on some concrete and paved surfaces and light coating on colder surfaces.
-
Yes, you are correct. I was referencing the season to date and you were speaking about December. Sorry. 6.5" in November and 2.6" so far in December. Not expecting much additional in December, less than 1" I suspect.
-
The NW corner of the state did well. I'm sitting at 9.1" on the season and NW of me in higher elevations they did even better, especially the NW corner of Sussex County. Certainly once south of Rt. 80 and especially Rt. 78 there is nothing to show for December ending a degree or so below normal, albeit against our warmest set of normals. Certainly elevation played a huge part in who got snow this month.

Following the 1989 weather history over the last 2 weeks has been interesting. Was brutal for cold and snow across the country. Our area had the cold but missed out on most of the snow to the south. Big snows 12/23 or 12/24 for southeast coast if I remember the dates correctly. Once to January winter was essentially over for our area as it warmed big time. Remember the 2009 event well. Remember when Winter storms would lift north out of the GOM, been a long time.

Time will tell and we'll know soon enough.

That is a one day snapshot at PERHAPS the end of the warm period. Poor example of what is coming between Christmas and New Year's.
-
Looks like the usual in and out Arctic shot (about 60 hours worth before moderation commences) in the days before Christmas. Looks like everyone has a different definition of what a "torch" is but it sure looks like a torch to me starting 12/27 or so and lasting through New Year's Day at least. Canada looks to get flooded with Pacific air as does the lower 48 starting over the Rockies then working east once past Christmas.

Received 1.8" snow here overnight into this morning. Came down pretty hard in the hour or two before 5am. The 1.8" was measured at 5am, it has compacted down to about an inch as of 10am. Total for the season here: 8.3".
