I guess the departures need to be in the +15 to +30 range to be more memorable.

weathermedic Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 If that line holds together it will hit nyc right around the beginning of rush hour. I bet there aren’t any salt trucks out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Wow from nothing to 250 foot visibility in less than a minute! This is awesome These were some of the biggest snow pellets I've ever seen when it started, now it's mostly small grains and big flakes. Cool frontal passage.
