NorthShoreWx

Sometimes, but this isn't always the case.

Yesterday was just some mood flurries here which melted quickly after it ended. Was nice, but added nothing significant to what's laying on the ground from last Friday. The sun this afternoon is melting more. We'll be down to a trace on average for the next period (tomorrow morning). Already are, but it was nice this morning.

Compared to Bermuda? The scene out front here is snowy, albeit on the thin side. There's nothing under the little hemlock grove in the back, but there never is. It's a little questionable but I'm going with 1" snow depth. Its Christmas You've had an inch+ more snowfall so far this season (3.0" here) but the north shore averages more snow than Metuchen. The variety is what fascinates all of us. Merry Christmas and enjoy the snowy scenery. It's been long overdue. The Grinch finally took a year off.

This wasn't temperature related. It was about where it snowed vs where it was dry. Enjoy this weather and never doubt that the Miller B will return. Have a great holiday!

Can probably round this one up to 0.1", but it's a dusting here. Liquid equivalent was a trace. Snow depth = 1” current temp 31⁰ Short range models did quite well with most of the details. Alas, placement was off by a few miles on the north shore but otherwise they were nearly spot on.

Very light snow started at 8:35am. It's still very light. This one is on its last legs as it dessicates its way eastward. Oh well.

28.6⁰ ... still waiting... Should start any moment.

There's some pixie dust in the air here. Not enough to comfortably say that its snowing, but that's what it is. 22.6⁰

If it takes a bridge to get there, it doesn't exist. The universe consists of LI and the void. OC (and NYC) are imaginary places. I don't get why people from imaginary places can't understand this. Now go back to enjoying your fake snow.

No snow here, but the meat of that cloud deck was to our west, so it is possible there was some pixie dust somewhere.

Interesting little patch of clouds over Smithtown Bay. Probably related to why we didn't get any colder overnight.

Since we're loosely using relatively light snowfall ranges in Central Park in December as an indicator of snowfall likelihood for the entire winter, there's a risk that inconsistent measurements in the Park skew that sort of analysis. I get the idea of consistency with different Pacific patterns, but I'm not sold on the idea of Central Park snowfall as a proxy.

14⁰ as of 7:30, but plenty of 9s and 10s a mile south of here and 17s and 18s even closer to the Sound. It's kind of fascinating to watch the variety on different days with distance from the Sound.

Bottomed out at 13 here at around 2am. 15⁰ as of 7am. Breeze off the Sound never abated.

Backyard view this morning.

Yes. 1.0"

1.8" here. I was figuring on about an inch so this was a small plus.

0.03" liquid in the bucket. Imagine if it had all been snow. Actually, it was snow.

If I was closer, I'd take a walk up Jaynes Hill. 400 feet of elevation in the middle of the best snow band might have something to show today. Light snow and 34° here. Been snowing for a while, but trivial amounts. That "band", such as it was, missed to our west.

Over to snow now. That light wet sleet was shockingly nasty-cold

35 with mostly light (drizzly) sleet here. It's really nasty outside. Temp is down from 37 a little earlier. The radar returns are still to our west, but getting close.

Having routed for the Jets, Mets, and 80's snowstorms, I'm always looking for that improbable rabbit

Being correct about scattered light precipitation moving off the ocean isn't the same as getting the timing and placement of offshore cyclogenesis correct, but one can hope.

I wouldn't go that far, but it is still useful.

The much maligned 3k NAM has been showing that light precip on an easterly flow for 2 days.
