3.4" here and melted was .28" - so 12:1 ratio snow. Higher than I was expecting.

3.4”

Finished with 3.4" for this event.

Nice to hear from you Walt. We miss you.

Final total here 3.4". Exceeded my expectations. Was thinking 1.5" for an upper limit as of yesterday afternoon. Truly exceeded expectations in and around NYC. We'll add more tomorrow and whatever is on the ground at the end of the day tomorrow will stick around for a while with upcoming Arctic surge. Going to look and feel wintry around here for a while. So much for the January pause.

I'm waiting to see the first "buckle up" of the season any minute now.

Likely skeet or skeet / snow mix. That is transition line between snow and mix / rain.

Right on transition line so likely sleet.

Heaviest snow is over for my location per radar. Still light to some moderate snow for next hour or so. Just measured 3.2”.

Still coming down good. Holding at 26.5. 79035989724__50DC29C4-98AC-4D45-8D51-6F4E1FE70B67.MOV

27.5 degrees moderate to heavy snow. 1.1” 79035806567__C5CCFDB6-38F0-4365-B499-B117D10BA483.MOV

27.5 degrees moderate to heavy snow. 1.1” 79035796683__C0596ADB-8BE7-466D-892A-0678A53C5EEC.MOV

Based on radar could easily do 2” here. Quickly closing in on 1”.

Down to 26 with just light snow currently. Total thus far .6”.

28 degrees currently and snowing 79035293257__F55F02F7-0D5C-434F-B0F8-8AB7CE0092AA.MOV

While we wait for our T to 2" of snow across most of this forum the guidance continues to impress over the next 1-2 week in terms of cold. Latest EURO is not backing down on the cold surges coming into the Mid-West, Lakes and into the NE and MA. Some bitter cold anomalies against the coldest averages of the year, i.e. peak climo cold. Expect to see some good ice buildup across the Great Lakes before all is said and done. Snowfall during this upcoming cold is very much in question. Think best chance at something substantial would have to wait until we start to pull out of the coldest of the pattern. For a time the cold looks like it wants to overwhelm the pattern causing suppression of storm track to the south. Not much room to get things to turn up the coast IMO.

Still holding to my .5" to 1.5" tops forecast out my way. Think the WWA of 2-4" are overdone where they are in effect for NJ counties. PERHAPS 2" in spots but the 4" I'm not buying into at all.

Cream puff mentality. So sad.

Excellent summation of the situation. Would not expect much deviation from what you have outlined. For my area I am expecting .5" to 1.5" tops for tomorrow and nothing on Sunday.

Gotta love the 1994 event summary. Frigid air over eastern Canada just continued to push and funnel straight south over snow covered ground. Met up with moisture from the south and snow and ice events were plentiful. Thing I remember most is the frozen solid ruts of snow and ice on the roads for days at a time. With snow, sleet and freezing rain the road crews could not properly clear the roads and everything just froze solid. Was like driving on an obstacle course.

Hopefully we can score something decent late January into first week of February. Just have to be wary of suppressed storm track with potential magnitude of cold that is modeled. Without something associated with a STJ phase going to be hard to get something worthwhile….as in 8”+ storm. My standards are rather high. Cold has returned. Currently 22 here with a gusty wind.

Never got above 41 here today and is currently 30. The torch, thaw, respite from the cold December or whatever you want to call it is over. If the EURO is on the right track and I suspect it is (although over doing the cold) it will take the positive temperature departures for the first half of the month to the woodshed. Only way we get even close to the 12Z depiction of the coming cold is if we can get a decent snow cover down and that is questionable at this time. I'd like to see forum wide depth of at least 6" to maximize the coming cold.

Don’t remember the snow at end of the month or February 85 at all either. If anyone has info on how that cold shot ended….snow??? I would be interested to know. That cold shot had the holy grail of -40 850 temps into the upper lakes. Still remember the maps.
