Just can't do both my FB group and here. Merry Christmas. It's a good snow sleet combo here in SC.

Wantage NJ. 2.5" snowing very lightly.

It reads the 9000 ft near 32F TT very well.... repeatedly. While NAM has lots of variability in its modeling of this storm... when you see it have ice, be cautious. Those that get my FB messages knew of my concern in NJ/PA. This is not a classic storm... no closed low at 850MB. Banding into good snow growth in the cold air produced. se NYS/CT/parts of LI. still a little hope for tail end southward rotate 1-2" down to I80 but the models overall were too snowy in ne PA/nw NJ including the SPC HREF big time. Euro prob for 4"+ seems pretty good. What I used this morning at 5s30A. Pattern still good for us into January. Good night.

I expressed my concern to OKX last weekend (the .02 T snow around daybreak. They kindly provided me their view using science soundings and what might have occurred. They prevailed on that T. I disagree but NWS prevails. It is obvious to me that improvement is needed in that CP snow reporting process. ALSO, that OKX send out a message that hits everyone at the same time with whatever occurred, instead of answering ph calls from media. NO ONE in the media deserves an advantage over another in the competitive media market. I've said my peace on this... I dealt with the same thing in NWS offices.

Classic winter snow event just ended with bitter cold to follow, similar to what I remember in the late 50s, 60s, 70s. Nice threading. I haven't been able to keep up with thread initiation, so am done threading and in general commenting. If you want a one way daily 6am ish message, dm me at [email protected] and let me know your location. Accuracy probably not as good as others in the D1-2 range but I know I grasp impacts ahead. I saw the Tomer Burg (polar weather) D1 post, after the event it was MUCH better than anything these I saw but I was also away in PA. I haven't done a very good job this year in nw NJ... partly due to aging slowing down and not able to review everything within constraints of home life. Am done considering what is posted on American Weather and also thread initiations, but I will add a precipitation total every once in a while. I'm at that age 75 where I need to focus much more here at home. Everyone continues on their own track. Best of health is what I think you will value. 12/14/25

00z/14 EPS melts most of the snow Wed-Fri AM, followed by potential wind advisory 45MPH gust event Friday afternoon-eve in CAA.

Wantage NJ 5.8" at 7A. Other Wanatge reports similar and similarly 5-6" from interior se PA through the ABE area to our area. Iso heavier totals. My last report. Blowing and drifting tonight with single digits or colder wind chill.

Wantage NJ 225AM 3.5". 28.9F light snow. It's a light weight powdery removal but slippery for sure.

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.
