Will give this a C+/B- forecast 

The bad:

1. definitely was not far enough northeast with accumulating snow. Reason being I thought the drier air farther north and east would be a problem, which it was but not to the overall extent.

2. The re-development. I was not expecting much in terms of re-development but that was enough to give many an extra few inches. 
 

3. snowfall rates ended up being more than I was anticipating. I was in the thinking of up to 2-2.5” per hour while the reality was 3-4” per hour. This was a big factor in going with 4-7” versus something like 6-9”.

The good

1. was happy with the fact that majority of the snow fell in a 3 hour window. 
 

2. Was happy with the cutoff that occurred within CT between the heavier banding and when banding would begin losing some of its strength. 

A lot to like about the pattern moving through January. Have to hope stuff times right but liking the signal for some coastal potential. 

Looks so beautiful outside

Not bad at all. 

No complaints about that. Let’s keep it rolling through January. Maybe we can even net potential for a larger storm 

Exactly 10” on the season so far. Not bad for December. 

4.3” final northeast side of Springfield! Picked up another 2” after going to bed. Looks amazing outside

2.3" so just under an inch over the last hour. 

Hoping light snows will continue long enough to end up with 3".

Seems like that dryslot is filling to some degree. Hopefully we'll keep this nice bursty stuff going a little while longer.

been fun watching that across northeast PA. Wondering if that can even fill in some across the Lower Hudson. some nice s/w energy hanging back

Yeah we missed the best meat of that band it slid south and the northern part weakened a bit.  Still good snows coming down and low visibility here.

yup still coming down nicely! 

unfortunately I don't think I'll hit my forecast here but this is fun regardless. 

For some reason I thought I went 4-7" here but I checked my map and I am in the 2-4" zone so I will hit that. 

just measured 1.5"

It’s 19/7 here.  Lots of dry air to overcome.  

I am right on the edge on some of the heavier echoes so it can't be too far away. 

Still waiting here. I should be starting soon...I hope

Should be able to keep the banding going farther east...perhaps even some continued enhancement 

I don't think that is necessarily indicating a change to sleet, I think its indicating that as the DGZ begins to dry out behind the banding and precipitation rates taper off, precip could end as a bit of sleet pellets but that isn't going to negatively impact totals. All of the accumulation will have occurred by then

Well if there is going to be thundersnow should start seeing reports very shortly 

Cloud tops continuing to cool as well to the east which is a great sign
