Legit trauma from 12/30/2000 in Boston. went from 9-14" to 0.0. Only bust I can recall in my life that left bare ground after a high end WSW. if you drove West on the Mass Pike it was 10" by Rt 95/128.

Among other things, it led to serious deforestation of the island for firewood. https://www.gothamcenter.org/blog/war-weary-nature-environment-british-occupation-and-the-winter-of-1779-1780

Was watching the Ken Burns Revolutionary War series last night and they got to the winter of 1779-80. Hudson so frozen over you could just walk to New Jersey. Can you even imagine?

In Boston (proper) the 12/30/2000 was a horrific Blutarski 0.0 bust, so paired with the March storm (which was still impactful but not the son of '78 we were promised) they were kick-in-the-nuts bookends to the season.

Just getting online and was going to report my storm total estimate of about 3" when I see CPK recorded 4.3". LOL... It's definitely not as deep as the one two weeks ago, though clearly more dense/ more WE.

Yeah, it’s snowing again somewhat nicely now. About 1.5 dense, grainy inches on the ground. Very wintry. Main roads like Riverside Drive are snow covered. This time of year, only needed about 24 hours of AOB freezing to prep the surfaces to stick, even in the furnace of Manhattan.

It’s VERY slippery. I almost just wiped out in the crosswalk wearing hiking boots.

Godspeed anyone driving tonight

I Take it back. Even the avenues are.

I will say this - side streets are already totally covered

lol. used voice to text and didn't check that.

It started snowing in Ernest about 20 minutes ago on the upper west side. Now sleet is already mixing in.

The Kuchera maps will continue until morale improves.

96th street.

Honestly the most picturesque storm we’ve had in a long time. Magical December Sunday.
