And they’re the low total as usual. Other places in Manhattan had 2-3”. Boggles my mind how it’s used as NYC’s official total.

So far it hasn’t even hit 30.

Long Beach looks like it had 1-2” with nothing stuck on pavement from what I can see. Anyway we’ll see how temps recover with the sun coming out. If we don’t spike above freezing the sun likely won’t melt much. What melts will mostly come from the ground still being warm.

Some flurries still but that should be it. Just measured 2.7-2.8" on the tabletop so with the brief slush yesterday it's about 3" for the event. Very nice!

Nov 2018 too.

I think all NYC sites had a T. Up here it was around an inch maybe a little less.

I have almost 4" with the about 1" from the last overnight event. Not too shabby. And definitely a positive bust-I was expecting a coating at best when I woke up.

Models seem to keep us around freezing until the bottom falls out and like Allsnow said, this is the lowest sun angle of the year. We'll see. The ground being warm might melt some from below.

And for once a cold snap without brown ground so that means the cold will likely overperform too. My street's pretty messy, haven't been to Jericho Tpke yet.

Hopefully at least here there's some left. I measured 2.5" a little while ago and still decent snow coming down.

Light snow ongoing. Just measured 2.5" on the table top on the deck. 2.7" for the event so far with the brief 0.2" in the weenie band yesterday. Everything snowcovered. Counting the about 1" from the last overnight event I'm at 3.5" or so on the season. Beautiful scene!

Yep, snow finally advancing east. Hopefully has some staying power.

Boston up to 5.2". Philly airport has 0.1" but I think the north side of town had 1-2". E PA north of Philly has 2-4". Trenton has 2.3".

Our window of opportunity east of the city looks to be from around 5-7am. It'll be cold enough so what we do get will stick. HRRR seems to regenerate some of the snow as the trough pulls east.

Radar making the slightest of moves east but echos look pathetic. I just want this out of here at this point so we can move on to the next round of wasted 3 day cold. Maybe I’ll wake up to a coating.

Nice. Enjoy! Hopefully you can gain enough for a white Christmas.

And it was well forecast. That NJ second snow area was apparent 24+ hours ago. Can’t say there were any real surprises. “Norluns always trend NE in the end” doesn’t apply when NYC/LI would benefit.

It’ll be a crazy weird visible satellite tomorrow-swath in a chunk of SNE and NJ to around Philly with snow on the ground, massive middle finger in between.

Hopefully this area of snow over NJ pivots east so we can all get an hour or so of snow overnight where it can be cold enough to stick, but at most I’d expect another coating. Models show a window overnight where it might happen. But as @donsutherland1pointed out days ago, this just isn’t the type of pattern that produces for this area, other than the random IVT/Norlun that are impossible to predict that far in advance. Wintry looking outside at least but I’m tired of the cold/dry to warm/wet this fast pattern keeps giving.

They had an advisory up this morning for 2-5” I think. Models for a couple days had an area near Boston with enhanced snow from a coastal front, and this type of storm in a fast pattern that develops late usually finds ways to produce for them.

Looks like Boston officially had 4.4” as of 7pm so their 4” drought is over and they’ll have a white Christmas. NYC will likely come out still at T, going into another bitter 3 day brown ground freeze.

I was thinking Philly might be a better place than NYC for this one.

Congrats Boston. Longitude FTW in a late bloomer storm like this. And no the NAM absolutely sucked. This morning’s 12z run had 8” here, and I’ll likely end up with 0.2” that lasted an hour on the grass before it melted.

This wasn’t a bust. Maybe one last shot at some accumulation overnight when the trough swings through but other than those who swung at the NAM high on crack runs, it’s doing as expected. It’s an eastern New England/Boston late bloomer snowstorm and some fun elsewhere from the inverted trough, otherwise another lame fail. Boston almost certain to break their 4” drought-radar looks great there.

Light snow. So thrilled the NAM finally sniffed one out!!
