Have you been seeing anything from the streamers the last few days? I went up 22 on Saturday and it went from sticks to winter all of a sudden with obvious showers over the high country.

Had light snow showers over the weekend here. A couple gave a dusting and that melted quickly.

Ha! I tried and that's how I found out how sticky this stuff is. It wouldn't blow off anything easily! lol

Used the leaf blower as Rob did and had a good results.

i would ask what your thoughts on this are but i think i have an idea

.2 here with light snow currently, 23/22 skies are starting to brighten up. A coating on all surfaces and the salt spreaders are out. 

Now it’s a toss for a different result run to run.

 Used to spend a lot of time lurking/learning in the NE forum but it seems that they’ve become more insular over the years.  Seems to me there are more inside jokes and play than discussion of actual weather now.  

And fwiw-Walt’s posts are fantastic and elevate the NY metro to another level.  Much thanks to Walt.

that being said, let’s get a freaking legit snow storm already.

Agree with you 100%. In the NE forum there is some great analysis and discussions you just have to move around the chatter.

Walt’s posts are excellent, you can learn so much from his posts. I really appreciate his time and efforts along with sharing his knowledge.

I think strong isentropic lift with sw jet at 7H/8H in the Virginia's with 8H trying to form a low in PA-NJ by 00z/7. The mesoscale models are holding onto the trough structure longer as we come toward T0 (Monday)...  so presuming it has the upper low right in the OV, it wont disappear as fast as modeled-mushed by the globals. 

There wont be much northerly BL flow into the system prior to its arrival on the 6th so dry air advection I dont think is a player. It has basically what is out there now, a 15-20 degree T/Td spread.  It will take awhile for snow aloft in any CSI Band to work down to the ground up here around I80.  There may be some small ocean effect contribution along the NJ coast?

I have to think the globals will drift north tomorrow... or I've interpreted wrong.

 First thing I have to see is there Canadian come way north. Just not what I expected from the Canadian (GDPS-RGEM).  For now I think it the southerly outlier.   

 

That's it for me tonight.  Thanks for the MDL NBM reply.

 

Nice write up Walt, it will be interesting too see what the next few model runs show. Have a good night.

As is tradition here is our new annual thread, Happy New Year to all of us hinterland folks. 

Thanks Rob, let’s make 2025 be the best year for all

Melted down to .09 making for a 14:1 ratio, easy clean up. 

1.1” here 

Thanks Walt. Could be a tricky go tomorrow morning especially with the cold ground temps that will keep the snow from melting quickly on untreated roadways. Hopefully travelers and commuters take their time.  Currently 21/7.

5 here.

Besides the time of year, what I'm really enjoying with this snowfall is that there is cold air streaming in behind the storm. It seems like most of our snowfalls these days come with warmer temps on its heels. 

Good northwest wind with that Canadian air and a low of 11 tonight helps with the Christmas mood. Oops the snow cover too!

3.5” for the snow total.

Similar ratio here, 3.3" melted down to .22" of liquid giving me 15:1. 

3.5” will do it here. Just cleaned up outside before this stuff hard freezes up later. Forecast low of 10 tonight.

Elevation dependent is definitely the factor. I have 1/3” of slush here at 125’ of elevation.

Wow big difference, 1/3 of an inch of slush and my road wasn’t totally covered.

Light snow 32/27 currently.  A coating on the ground.

Gefs has a storm signal. That's all we can ask for at this range.

All the models have a signal

So you did speak to Santa  

1.68” here for the total yesterday.

I84 don't look too far ahead.  Probabilistic hazard for this Sun night... (EC 1-2").  Relatively consistent EC-GGEMlast several runs.  NYC- no luck yet. Lets take the rain that comes Mon-Tue.

Thanks Walt, something to keep an eye on.

Did you fill Santa in on this?
Agreed, a big ‘IF’ that far out. 

I think he did.
