A little video from Sunday https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSZOkzcgPmc/?igsh=MXdteWI3eWp6OHR6cw==

For example, these:

Heads up, there's black ice out there right now. Be wary on the roads.

I'll throw in for 2014-2015. 2010-2011 got the deepest, but 2015 was a close second. Plus we had drifts out back into April.

I can't swear it isn't redundant, but a lot of the climate data we look at comes from there.

This isn't good for us wx types regardless of how you feel about CC: https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/trump-administration-dissolve-key-climate-research-agency-2025-12-17/

It's not a common thing. My neighbors know it's going to snow when they see the boards out on my front lawn.

Dang, only 3 of the top 25 are in my lifetime. We missed the best Decembers.

Lots of fine ways to jackpot in a storm

I do really well in early season events when I can push the ruler a few inches further into unfrozen ground. The tall grass is just icing on the cake.

I got 9+ on the grass too. The 3 boards were all the same at 7.6. it's cool how consistent they were with no wind...easy measurement. There's no consistency on the lawn.

Score one for the optimists.

The snow caught in the 4" COCORAHS gage melted to 0.71". I haven't done a core sample yet, but this one time the gage may be close to the actual SWE because there wasn't even a breeze during most of the storm. It did get windy with some blowing snow towards the end. Definitely over performed on total liquid and snowfall. 7.6", which brings our season total snowfall up to 7.6".

Please post when it pleases you to do so. No reason to keep to a schedule for us knuckleheads. Best of health to you too.

Radar indicates a nice aftershock in eastern Nassau County. Any ground truth to this or is it a mirage?

Winter is ovah.

6.5" as of 10:30. 1.2" in the past hour. 27.9⁰ Moderate to occasionally heavy snow continues. I'm about to drive over to Farmingville. Should be a bit of an adventure.

It's a snowstorm now after the nice, but relatively unimpressive continuous light half inch per hour stuff overnight. Temperature down to 28⁰ and the visibility is quite low in moderate snow.

Wind kicked up and temperature quickly dropped below 30. The sights are awesome with 6" of snow blowing out of the trees. Also the lowest vis of the storm right now even when it isn't gusting. Probably less than 1/2 mile (moderate snow)

I stand corrected, it is 6" in 12 hours (8" in 24). I think it had been up to 7" for a few years, but I might be crazy.

5.3" here as of 9:30. Good shot at 6". FYI, warning criteria here is 6", but not if they think the 6" totals will be isolated (or spread out over more than 12 hours) [edited for correctness]

There wasn't a lick of wind overnight. No air advection of any kind in the boundary so the temperature basically pegged at 32 almost everywhere it was snowing, or maybe 31 inland (it's cooling north of the LIS now). I haven't measured yet, but we have 4 or 5" in open areas and bare ground under the evergreens. There will be a lot of snow blowing out of them when the wind picks up. Has anyone noticed that the temperature sensor at ISP has been running consistently a couple of degrees warmer than everywhere around them? Might be time for the NWS to do a calibration.

It's not useless. Thanks to this Central Park observation we now know that winter is over.

We're on the board. 0.1" as of midnight. 32⁰ Exit off the Sunken Meadow for 25a East is completely snow covered. North bound parkway was starting to cover on the north side of overpasses. That little extra shade during the day makes a difference.

Are these observations or entries for the common phrase book?
