NorthShoreWx

0.91" 2-day total here. 53/53 now. nice and soupy...typical late December wx for recent years,

Dew point?

50 in North Smithtown. Quite wet. Elevation 122

I'm already missing summer 2023

30/27 here 10 miles NW ISP

This temperature inversion won't quit. Did anyone else notice the haze this afternoon?

It depends on how deep the ground is frozen and how low the ground temperatures are, but this makes sense. The freezing process adds a lot of heat to the ground-air interface and is quickly self limiting if the air is at or above freezing.

Off topic, but visible satellite images like this that include a chunk of ocean are art!

From the NYT top right-hand corner of the front page on 12/25/1947: LATE CITY EDITION Mostly sunny and cold today. Cloudy and warmer tomorrow. Temperature Range Today-Max., 35; Min., 20 Temperatures Yesterday -- Max., 33; Min., 22 Full U.S. Weather Bureau Report, Page 43

It's more fun to imagine the big one. I'm down with that. Viva imagination.

The sun is doing its thing this afternoon:

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, etc, etc. I hope all are well and able to enjoy the holidays. https://www.instagram.com/p/DEAltprJxnW/?igsh=MTJzbmR6ZWQza21xMg== (Yesterday's snow cover in the back 40 including some idle whitetail/reindeer)

I meant yesterday mornings non event.

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.
