Wantage NJ (this southern part at 740' MSL). 1.8" final-wet clingy snow. Less on driveway and virtually none on paved roads now... temp rising to 32.4F.

Wantage NJ (this southern part): 410 PM 1.2". The 3/4" or less driveway and 0.3" on salted road in front of our rural home, occasionally wet road there. 32.0F

Wantage 0.3" at 240P since SB around 150PM. 32.4aF down from a high of 35.2. We had sprinkles at 1025 AM. Driveway snow covered but treated roads just wet.

Nor did the observer at CP where 0.02 liquid occurring virtually as all snow and only T. Guessing the snow total was rounded down to a T (below 0.5"). That might be a future question mark for detail oriented minor climo checkers.

Who knows what goes on... I'll be interested in their 445P climates for LGA, EWR and CP and how a TV station got info before entire community regarding official amounts. That was always something that bothered me in offices, the TV station calls for info before the entire community. Competition.

Thank you Don. Clarification will eventually be needed.

Is there a message out on CP NON 0.1" snowfall this morning. I heard on CH4 it's a T? I can benefit from downsizing justification. Thanks.

CoCoRaHs snowfall below as of 8A/6. Please click for clarity. Measurable snow sleet occurred at CP, KEWR, KLGA, a couple days earlier than POR normal first date in the second week of Dec. My last on this thread. We can move onto something bigger and more extensive inclusive of LI by the first day of winter (I would hope).

via XMACIS below. Newark POR 1931. normal first day of measurable snow 12/8 LaGuardia POR 1940. normal first day of measurable snow 12/11

KLGA and KEWR also measured this morning...both first of the season.

Wantage NJ had 0.1" overnight. NYC CP XMACIS first last date of measurable. Median for the period off record dating back to 1869 is Dec 8. see below. CP did it a couple days early! Good call Don via stats a. few days ago.

Bands of what I call junk light mixed freezing precipitation coming through the area next 2-4 hours. Thanks for your reports. NYC had a T of snow and Newark in progress snow with snow sleet. We'll take what we can get. Yes, high res models had an idea and NWS offices responded with the SPS's.

OKX issued an SPS for tomorrow morning covering parts of the area and multiple models but not all, have spotty very light freezing-frozen precipitation in our area over night. mPing may be helpful in addition to monitoring radar developments, especially 4A-9A Sat. Questions are: will the expected low top precipitation be heavy enough to measure 0.01 NYC metro and will temps remain at or below 32F in CP overnight. Couldn't wait much longer to decide. Graphics below: WSSI-P for winter drivIng habits overnight... ie not even MINOR impact according to the criteria, and the probabilstic snow portal for NYC CP. So odds are against but am not waiting this out. Probably no measurable snow NYC but someone in the I95 corridor of NJ-NYC-CT is going to get a little wintry weather overnight... more than the flurries of earlier today. 658P/5

am offline til 330. will consider NOW thread for NYC first measurable at 5, if other models join the HRRR and EC. Uncertain ptype an T.
