Still raining here...since yesterday evening. About 2.5 inches snow by the time it moved to sleet then rain last night. I was not going to break out the snowblower but it was quite wet and heavy by 9pm so I decided to make life easy.

Before the changeover, the snow was quite lovely. My son was visiting overnight so he took out the drone to film and take pics of the house with fresh snow and the Christmas lights.

13.9" on the snow board this morning, could very well had been higher had I measured earlier but 13.6" on the ground now with light snow 33/31

[sussexcountyobs]

Steady light snow falling.

[Stormlover74]

Light rain 35. Maybe some flakes mixed in

[MANDA]

Final (more or less as light snow still ongoing off and on) Snowfall = 6".  Depth at 8am = 5.5".

Will update melted total shortly.

Went to rain at 8:15 last evening with 3.8".    Went back to snow and at 3am was 6".    Settled and compacted to 5.5" at 8am obs. time.

Very heavy and wet snow pack.

Take a ride up the hills a few miles to your west, snowing hard again.

Not that it makes much difference but Central Park reported .2 inch of snow at 7PM. I believe it snowed hard after that for an hour or less but no new snow reported.

Nice moderate mood snow here. Looks good while cooking pancakes for the kids. 

Sundays in the winter are pancake day here too!

[LongBeachSurfFreak]

Currently moderate accumulating Sleet on the uws. 

[Stormlover74]

[Tatamy]

Snowing moderately currently with the snow showers and squalls in this area.  32/31.

[the_other_guy]

Can someone put the 287 horse and buggy up again?

[lee59]

During the major part of the storm my temperature was between 34 and 36. 95% was just a cold rain.

[Allsnow]

Mod wet snow 34 

not sticking 

[forkyfork]

guessing 8-9" in stanhope

 

[sussexcountyobs]

Moderate snow falling. 30° I should have waited to clear driveway and vehicles because they're covered again.

[ebwx]

Wet snow in East Brunswick

 

[RU848789]

Moderate snowfall here - might freshen up our huge snowpack, lol (we still have maybe 1/2"-1" of dense slush on the ground, as the rain didn't wash it all away). More seriously, though, can't see these snow showers amounting to anything of consequence with temps in the 35-37F range. Pretty to watch, though.

The future, besides additional snow today I78 in PA-NJ as well as LI northward.

Attached is an ensemble based map (CMCE and GEFS) of resultant potential river problems by Wednesday. Purple is potential major, red potential moderate and the brown = minor.  This guidance is accurate IF the 2-3" of rain and snowmelt materializes. 

We'll keep this thread going with storm two (9th-10th) instead of a separate OBS thread.  

The Tue - Wed, flood, heavy rainfall, wind damage reports will flow right into this thread will have integrity from start to finish. 

I dont plan to start any new threads beyond the 10th, until at least tomorrow or Tuesday.  Have a day and NYC, enjoy the new snow later this morning...maybe it can accumulate on grass-cars?

 

 

Walt - thanks and a question.  Can you highlight the differences between the "ensemble" river forecasts and what I guess I'd call the "regular" river flooding forecasts from the NWS (which are both under the "rivers and lakes" tab on the NWS page)?  What is the ensemble of?  Mostly curious why the ensemble forecast has the Passaic at risk of major flooding, while the regular forecast only has that in moderate flooding, as per below and in general the ensemble forecasts are much more serious.  Is one or the other more accurate?  

[NJwx85]

Coming down harder at this point then it did last night but the roads are already clear and treated so it’s only sticking to non paved surfaces.

You can see where the band set up last night..

10-15" in the band

Need to extend that a little north now. The Kingston area had a good foot. Then it tails off so by the time you're into Greene County it's 6 or 7 inches. But we remain in steady snow, moderate at times. 6" at my place in Albany County. 28F.

A rather meager 16" of snow for the season to date. Last year we started slow also but then got pounded by three  big wet snowstorms in February/March and closed with 96 inches.
