My local area made it out relatively unscathed. Didn’t loose power and wind wasn’t very strong imby. Can’t believe schools had a 2 hour delay for this haha 

It isn't just about the kids in your town, teachers have to drive to get there and many might need the extra time from floods.

This is 5 minutes from me.

3.35 ambient station, 3.42 cocorahs gauge.

Schools closed since the Raritan and its branches flooded over here leaving some neighborhoods cutoff.

Someone in Hampton reported 9 as well (yes I know 2 feet from the house could be overdone)

 

 

Isn't that Patrick from 33 or no?

4.5" here.  Mostly sleet now.  Overjoyed

Surprised no one posted this tweet

 

I think some are already burned out from a lack of anything resembling winter and their patience is already gone. 

Sunny now and breezy, 3.95" total

Yup. Back edge wind non existent currently 

First time I've seen it windy all day in the back end band.  Gusted a few times over 30

3.97" on my station. Can't believe they canceled school today. I've heard the normal roads that flood are underwater, but a few you would think are fine.

The typical areas were pretty bad.  I was a little surprised too.  I did read certain areas of town were "cut off" from others because of the flooding, so maybe that is why they did it?  Also, teachers might not have been able to get to school from wherever they live?  Now what day gets cut from the school calendar, haha. 

3.75" on my ambient station.  Will check the cocorahs when all said and done to get the real #. 

1.73 on the ambient, have to check to cocorahs gauge.  Switched to snow for like 15 minutes, then back to drizzle to end it.

It hasn't even been 3 Decembers since we had a big December snowstorm.

I'm going to list the number of warning criteria events in each December for ORH the past 10 years:

 

2013: 2

2014: 0

2015: 0

2016: 2

2017: 1

2018: 0

2019: 1

2020: 2

2021: 0

2022: 0

 

Do you know how many warning criteria snowfalls in December ORH saw in the 10 year stretch between 1982-1991? Exactly 2 and both occurred in Dec 1983. So they had zero December warning criteria snowfalls between 1984-1991.

 

The problem is you (and many of us...me included) got high off the 1995-2010 December snow binge that we forgot that wasn't normal December snowfall climo....now we go 2 Decembers without a good event and the sky is falling.

Fantastic post, and even less down in our area, but some I guess never bother to look at past history and think 95-10 is the norm, and when there is a slight snow drought, people think we are now North Carolina.

Working at Pfizer in Groton Surge came up the Thames all at once. Winds over hurricane force shredded a bunch of tanks skins at Pfizer. No power at home Christmas day which sucked 

You still there?  I'm over in Peapack....until next month when we close down and I head to NYC for work.

The MJO is slowing in 4-7 and nobody said this month would be +13. So not sure where you are reading from. The bias corrected  Euro RMM is matching the GFS and Euro VP anomalies.
 

The GEFS one for comparison

Some flurries flying

I feel like I’ve heard more about the MJO driving this winter’s pattern than in past years. As Nittany suggested there’s far more to it. I literally feel like someone sold a cheap tabloid about how MJO drives all things winter and everyone ran home to hang it on the fridge.

The past few years the mjo stuff is getting more and more.  A few Twitter guys with big followings post about it and then everyone latches on to their teets and think they got it all figured out.

Another mild December day outside currently 

Isn't the high supposed to be what the average high typically is for today?  Warmer than average morning though.

Wrong MJO phase, will never happen

the same occurs in La Niña years when we get forcing into 7-8

How often is the NE colder than normal and actually had snow when we are in "bad" phases?  Are there any charts for that?  I'm sure it will take some research if not.

Not saw anything from Anthony since August. Seems I remember seeing something somewhere of health issues. 

he posts sometimes on a PA centric board and has fairly recently.  he hasn't said anything profound though that anyone else hasn't already said.

21 this morning, coldest so far.

Just had a quick squall drop some light snow for a couple minutes.  

1.45" of rain. Nice soaking
