This snow is falling on a snowcover with a thick ice coating. The snowfall ended as freezing rain at 24F.
Usually it's just around 32F. With freezing rain.
4F here in Enfield. First single digit cold of the season. I'm close to the Connecticut River. So I'm a bit Warmer here. WU shows lots of 0-4F readings in my area.
4" of snow in NYC in 1989 at my parents house. I think we had snow on the ground for Christmas in 1998. Again in NYC.
This is in Northern Queens.
Looking back at weather records. 2" of snowfall was recorded in Central Park on 12/24/98.
I'm hoping to get 1-2 adaptive skiing lessons this season at Ski Sundown. December and January. There open 2 weeks earlier than last year. Opening on December 13th this year vs December 28th. Last year.
