Assuming we had an inversion overnight because it smelled like a racetrack this morning. Low was 24 with heavy frost.

Seeing everyone panic in the storm thread is better than seeing snow.

I’ll take a few penny and nickel events, no dimes please. I’ll also be happy with nothing, I’m still worn out from the 2010’s.

I’ve seen a couple of moths flying around on two separate occasions over the past week. Over 11” of rain this month. I’m not complaining, I’ll take it over being cold. I saw snow twice last month in Wisconsin, it also dropped to 11 degrees, which I wasn’t dressed for, coming from a subtropical climate and all.

2.70” and counting, December, which was only slightly ahead of July, is now the wettest month of this year. All rain. 1. December: 10.60” 2. September: 8.40” 3. July: 7.80” Year: 60.70” This month is probably the first to breach the 10” mark for my PWS, and this is easily the wettest year on record, very feast or famine though with a few months being bone dry with less than 2”.

Just ventured south up and over Bald Hill (~330ft ASL), relying partially on memory as its pitch black, in the densest fog of I’ve ever seen (no exaggeration). Immediate changeover at/after the summit to perfectly clear conditions. I’d only ever seen that happen on planes, not at ground level. No lights on that stretch of road, everyone heading north will be plunged into instant darkness. I took a different way heading back. Looks and feels more like Halloween than Christmas, especially with the full moon somewhat visible earlier when the fog was thinner, very haunted atmosphere out there.

The deep green grass + pine tree combo makes it look more like spring or fall.

Soil temp still comfortably in the 50’s, impressive for almost-late December. Last winter it dipped under 40 for a grand total of 30 minutes (I wish I was joking) on the morning of Feb 5th.

Met winter nearly 1/4th done.

Full on low/mid-end tropical storm conditions on Route 112 in Medford. Rain falling in sheets and traffic lights blowing around.

Getting some thunder now. It’s been a while.

4.12” event total. Forgot to post. This is like the second or third 4”+ rain event of the year. DP touched 60 as well which is sort of extreme for mid Dec.

Graupel in Hauppauge. Caught me off guard.

Alternating between light and moderate snow in Wisconsin. Strange sight after last winter, it caught me off guard even though I knew it was going to snow.

My high was also 58, down to 49 now.

Just under 2.50” here.

Not the slightest hint of Aurora borealis here. 68/39 split today. Nice for November.

35 here.

Getting breaks of sun at ISP, feels warm.

37 this morning. 67 this afternoon. Tropical plants still outdoors. No issues.

1.13” event total. Clearing out today was a nice surprise, first Saturday in ages where I saw the blue sky, even though the sun was setting.

The sky looks rather ominous in Long Island City.

0.25”, waste of a Saturday.

Tbh I don’t know how anyone remembers the dates of these storms, however I definitely remember “Nemo” happening as well as the naming controversy.

Low of 41 here. Fake cold.
