I know it's kind of an esoteric thing to get excited about but I don't believe I've ever seen a cloud inversion lasting all day long in this part of the country. We'd have to get some pretty intense cold or snow this month to objectively out-anomaly today Yeah, I couldn’t believe how thick the fog was last evening when I was out and about a bit. Very interesting but lost on many as big snow and/or cold is all that many folks notice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 And just look at the cold air behind the potential storm next week, that would be fantastic if it plays out something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the 12z CMC shows it now. This might actually be our first legit threat of the season. This weekend never really looked good for anything other than flurries for our area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't usually mind driving in inclement wx but last night kinda gave me the spooks when you couldn't see tail lights on cars in front of you until you were within maybe 30 ft. Somebody could pull out or stop and you'd have no idea until you were inside their trunk. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never got any snow to stick during those two or three mid-November light precip events? I'm at 0.8" on the season which, while meager, means I already lost my first snowfall virginity.

gravitylover Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Here's one for the Thruway system http://www.thruway.ny.gov/travelers/map/index.html?layer=cameras This is regional. Click the box on the menu on the right side next to cameras and it shows for all over the area, some in CT and NJ and a whole bunch in NY. https://www.511ny.org/ I don't know what's up with this but there used to be a bunch of links through this page https://www3.westchestergov.com/news/3959-use-the-county-traffic-cameras-to-plan-travel WU has the links for all of the Taconic cams here and actually all of the NYDOT cams. Some links work, some don't. You may want to try to save some of the links because it looks like next week they are removing the page forever. https://www.wunderground.com/webcams/nydot/547/show.html More http://data.lohud.com/embeds/NYCtrafficcam/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the warm rains coming later this week it's going to go even higher. Doesn't bode well for a long lasting snowpack if the cold shot coming does put down a reasonable amount of snow. Soil temps around me this morning are 36-37, but I have no idea how that relates to "normal". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Yep. It doesn't get much better than this IMO. A decent little storm, snowfall most of, if not all, of the day, Saturday, Holiday Season, Army-Navy, adult beverages.
