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.

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.
