NWS needs to either put a dedicated observer there who will do it properly or just use obs from someplace else.

We took off yesterday afternoon so not always. Any snow threat always seems to do it though. I thought for sure I’d be delayed by a ton or canceled. Had a couple screams on the plane on the way out of JFK.

It’ll delay my flight back somehow so it’s guaranteed to happen.

I’m in Austin currently and flying back on Tuesday so part of me doesn’t want this to happen, but if it does and we can secure the White Christmas great. Somehow through a miracle my flight took off yesterday even though the first 15 minutes were pretty white knuckle. Wearing shorts and temp around 70, 70s expected for the rest of my time here.

If the snow/overrunning move in quickly while the cold air is still in place it can work. If it delays and the cold air moves out, it won’t. We’ve seen this game before.

The hi res models warned about the wind threat today, sometimes it’s a false alarm. It’s pretty messy around my neighborhood and I know others not far away got it worse. We probably gusted 55-60 here.

Crazy how you can time the cold early Dec with the warm late Dec the last 5 years or so. At least 90% of us made a nice snowstorm happen when it was cold this month. Hopefully we can get a window to do it again in Jan/Feb. A Nina with a good Dec snowstorm usually finds a way to do it again later in the winter and sometimes more than once.

The Grinch put on red this year.

Already happened this month. In fact there was 3” on a bench on Sunday. Pay up.

That’s the storm laughing at us as it destroyed all our snow.

The snow on Sun probably weakened some of the trees/power lines. The first 5” of it was paste here that clung to everything.

Some bigger branches and even a small tree down in my neighborhood. Yikes

A few years ago after a nasty T-storm knocked trees down my town trimmed most of the trees around any power line so it’s been better since then, but it’s a higher end wind event here for sure. Probably some 55+ gusts.

Lots of smaller branches down here and decorations/garbage pails blowing all over the place.

Yep, ice everywhere this morning.
