    First time for sure I heard thundersnow. Absolutely incredible rates. I was in Long Beach then-2 towns over reported 16”. Believable.

    Glad it's being upgraded soon.

    Verification: North Shore was pretty good. NYC was higher than I had with a lot of 10-12" amounts for the northern half of the city and over half a foot elsewhere. I-78 corridor in NJ seems like it came in with the 6-9" range. NJ coast I'm not seeing much if any reports of snow, if any they were less than 1" that was washed away fast. South Shore also looked pretty good. From what I could tell it was about 3" on the south fork and maybe 6-7" in the Rockaways. I was underdone on I-95 south toward Trenton, a lot of 6-7" amounts there. Westchester was good. Rockland may have gotten into the dryslot and/or had sleet since they on the low end of my thoughts. Same for coastal CT since there were a lot of amounts on the low end of what I had. Morris/Warren County NJ along I-80 also on the low end. Orange/Putmam/Sussex County/away from coastal CT I was too high. Maybe subsidence area from the deformation snow further north. Same with the Poconos/Catskills as the deformation snow band was further north along I-88. End result: Underdone in NYC and I-95 SW of the city, overdone in northern/western areas. LI/Westchester better. Overall grade: C+

    Map in parts of Suffolk are underdone. Commack, E Northport and here had 8” not 6”. Maybe just splitting hairs.

    Was a warning sign for days that models like the GFS and Euro were too cold. But we could’ve had a few inches extra if the WAA snow last night didn’t become chopped up after a few hours. That allowed warm air aloft to come in faster. Notice how the mix line essentially stopped then started north again when the precip broke up. Anyway 10.5” in Central Park and a 7-12” event overall in the city is great for December.

    Nice!! The State College webcams look amazing today.

    Awesome! I knew you were in for it there. I told you a couple of days ago to start getting pumped lol. And it’s good since IPT is known for moderate events, not huge crippler events like this.
  8. jm1220
    Your total would be 7.4" then if you didn't count the sleet. Sleet counts in the total too.

    Central Park up to 10.5" at 1pm. LGA 10.1", JFK 7.2", ISP 7.4", Upton 7.6", EWR 11.4". Looks like the Bronx ended with 12-13". Orange and Putnam look like they relatively got skunked by the insane band north of them. Impressive how many 10"+ reports there were in NYC, so a very nice event for Dec.

    Sun is out with a moderate snow shower.
  11. jm1220
    Huge fluffy flakes with this too.
  12. jm1220
    Moderate snow here too.
  13. jm1220
    Moderate snow here again. Crazy
  14. jm1220
    Geez. Even on good days though no one knows how to drive there it seems
  15. jm1220
    Yikes, OK thanks. Wind was howling here too but I’m sure was worse down there. Luckily since almost no big trees post Sandy are left there, not as much to fall on power lines and take them out.

    @wdrag The call for an icy mess on the immediate coast here looks like it worked out. Parents in Long Beach say there’s ice everywhere, guess it rained for a time down there and all refroze. Not sure how much snow/sleet but hopefully 5-6”? Anyway now it’ll freeze into a brick if not already. Sun starting to peek out here and snow’s done. Very nice event even if it verified on the low end of expectations for snow amounts. My more conservative thought worked out well. Here I think I’ll go with 8” but may have been a little more if rain/sleet compacted the snow overnight.

    That deformation band almost always gets further north than models show. The razor sharp northern cutoff also looks like it wasn’t quite the case, amounts dropped off more gradually. Huge surprise I’m sure to Albany and just north that weren’t even under watches 48 hours ago I believe.
  18. jm1220
    At this rate under this band, might add another inch.
  19. jm1220
    Coming down moderate again.
  20. jm1220
    Just measured again, have a little under 8”. This little weenie band on 25A is close by, hopefully it can come through.
  21. jm1220
    Farmingdale at one point was 35 and rain so I assume everyone from the Suffolk border on east did as well. I was asleep as well, have no idea. There was 2” at 7am on top of a crusty layer which must have been the rain and sleet so that back end snow came after.
  22. jm1220
    Actually snowing at a decent clip here again.
  23. jm1220
    Nice! And probably some more after that so maybe ending close to 11”?
  24. jm1220
    Interesting. I’ll have to see if I can drive down Rt 110 later and see if/where the snow totals dropped off.
  25. jm1220
    The early dryslot ruined things more than the warmth aloft did. It wasn’t overly strong, and the Nam actually overdid it a little. If the snow shield would have held and not chopped up after the first few hours, we all would have a few more inches and we’d be closer to Upton’s point/click yesterday afternoon. The chopped up precip also allowed the warm mid level air to take over sooner.
