I saw 4 or 5 graupel pellets on the ground in the shade. That was nice. 

Flakes!

A half inch of rain last night seems so insignificant anymore.

1.5

24° 

Did anyone get out last night and see the meteor shower? I thought it was gonna be cloudy so I didn't try.

Grass and trees stopped soaking up the water....the same period in September would end up with dry ground...

Yup. That makes such a big difference but we've been getting enough to keep the surface moist and blocking the lower level moisture from evaporating. Meanwhile the western 40% of the state is dry to very dry.

Since it's dry out there and we could use a good soaking, I'm glad to see that the models haven't backed down on the heavy rain for tomorrow night. Still looking like a nice 1 to 2 inch soaking. 

Not dry here. Sure it hasn't rained much this month but the ground is still wet and muddy and the Croton River and all of the reservoirs here are as high as they can be. It's wet right up through Dutchess County and NW CT.

1987 - A storm in the Rockies produced 21 inches of snow at the Monarch ski resort in Colorado, with 14 inches reported at Steamboat Springs CO. 

 

We had already been skiing in the high country along the Divide for almost 2 months at this point. There had been a few storms that dropped a foot or more. This storm was the final push the ski area needed before opening day a few days later. The area opened to the top which almost never happens and the conditions were more like midwinter than November. 

@JustinRP37 what day was it that you got that light snow? 

The guy in Patterson did and Julian did too.

None in this part of Wantage but I watched mPing a bit while baby sitting and looked like the southern edge was the NJ-NYS border.  Was less extensive than I anticipated.

It was super light. I wouldn't even have known if I hadn't looked at the light just right and then put a piece of dark metal down to see the micro pellets bounce. I'm betting most observers would've missed it.

How bout some ice pellets for the area of northern NJ NYC between 5 and 8p. And then spreading through se NYS and CT early tonight. 

 Probably last 30 minutes or less. If it’s ice pellets it goes down as snow in the records, unless I’m mistaken. 

I thought the raindrops felt kinda firm a few minutes ago. Good call Walt. 

.25 this morning and it's still raining but probably nearly over. 

I just went out with the dogs and it's wet, got .01. It's over now, right?

It’s been way way too long since we have had a wind event that mattered. I’m hoping we make up for that this winter. 

No thanks. Trees down means no power means no heat. How bout we keep the wind south of Sunrise Hwy, heck I'll even give you LI Sound, just don't let it cross the bridge. Thanks. 

^^ Were gonna get fkn buried! 48" snowpack from Christmas to St Patty's Day 

Looks like that 26 will do it. A few spots below me went to 25. Thick frost, many plants finally gave up. 

26°

It would be great to just have sustained average and cool temps. Looking ahead it does not look like that will happen, but we can hope!

At least you saw snow today. It was all around me but failed to find my hill. 

All the freeze watch stuff doesn't have my area in it, I haven't already gone below freezing (that I'm aware of).

We had a brief sleet shower in Ardsley. 

Damn! So close and I got bupkis

Re: Garden - Mine gave up because it's just too wet and it hasn't really dried out since early September but the marigold bush is thriving and I'm still getting a cup of plump, tasty raspberries nearly every day  

Same down here, 10-12 miles east saw flakes and slushy accumulations

Great, LI sees first flakes before I do up here. I might've missed it just before sunrise when the temp bottomed at 33° though. 

Hey @DRVTS radar looks like it's snowing by you, is it?
