Classic winter snow event just ended with bitter cold to follow, similar to what I remember in the late 50s, 60s, 70s.  Nice threading. 

I haven't been able to keep up with thread initiation, so am done threading and in general commenting.  

If you want a one way daily 6am ish message, dm me at [email protected] and let me know your location.  Accuracy probably not as good as others in the D1-2 range but I know I grasp impacts ahead.  I saw the Tomer Burg (polar weather) D1 post, after the event  it was MUCH better than anything these I saw but I was also away in PA. 

I haven't done a very good job this year in nw NJ... partly due to aging slowing down and not able to review everything within constraints of home life.  Am done considering what is posted on American Weather and also  thread initiations,  but I will add a precipitation total every once in a while.  I'm at that age 75 where I need to focus much more here at home.  Everyone continues on their own track. Best of health is what I think you will value. 12/14/25

Take care of yourself Walt and thank you for all of your posts and work that you have done it was and is appreciated,,,,chime in when you can

Walt, from the brief period I have visited this site I recognize the appreciated value you have added. You've earned the respect of us all and any future contribution, in any capacity, will always be welcome, even if its just to swing by and say hi.

Side note I don’t think the weather channel keeps up with all the winter storm naming anymore. Their long standing criteria is to name a winter storm if there are 2 million people under winter storm warnings. They did that a few times earlier this month but there’s been a few more since then and they didn’t name it. There were a few times last year that they did this too because I noticed that I there were winter storm warnings over a large population a few times without a winter storm name. They were very consistent between late 2012 (when they started) and throuhh 2024 but they seem to only name some of them since last year. This past one had winter storm warnings from Illinois through Philly/NJ for like 10 million people but no name. Most of the time the names are pretty stupid but I do think it’s a plus when you have a large storm, easier to track it that way imo.

Walt, you always do a fantastic job. You are a living legend in this business and I hope you enjoy taking more time for home and family. Anything you can find time to post on here will be much appreciated. But I can understand you needing to focus on other things in life. 

I got my first internet connection and computer in January 1997. I quickly found that your AFDs were the best weather discussions going at the time. I didn’t know much about teleconnections or weather patterns in general. But I slowly learned by reading you rich and in depth discussions. 

When you first joined this forum, I almost couldn’t believe it. Just very grateful for you to have chosen our forum to share all your valuable knowledge.  So wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors.

I'm waiting to hear back. The daily climate report and CF-6 showed 2.9". NOWdata, which goes into xmACIS, showed 4.4".

[Sundog]

The first half of the storm was on the wetter side. Ther second half was quite powdery.

So it's highly unlikely that Central Park had a ratio of 5:1 or 6:1 which is basically slop.

It could be that the high zookeeper or whoever it is measuring was scolded for measuring under a pine tree and was redone to be more accurate.

If it's 4.4 we're going to have a good winter...Decembers with 4 or more tend to do well.   (LOL I'm half kidding-90% of the area saw 4 or more inches so silly that they came in with 2+

I expressed my concern to OKX last weekend (the .02 T snow around daybreak.  They kindly provided me their view using science soundings and what might have occurred.  They prevailed on that T.  I disagree but NWS prevails.

It is obvious to me that improvement is needed in that CP snow reporting process.  

ALSO, that OKX send out a message that hits everyone at the same time with whatever occurred, instead of answering ph calls from media.  NO ONE in the media deserves an advantage over another in the competitive media market. I've said my peace on this... I dealt with the same thing in NWS offices.

Oh ok so the amount they released yesterday after the storm was 2.9” but it appears there might have been a 4.4” measurement ?

[WestBabylonWeather]

Let’s just round 2.9 to 3. They are so silly over there.

Didn't the 1 inch record continue because Central Park said there was .9 in one of the snowfalls?

Maybe an XMACIS glitch since it’s now back down to 2.9”. Very similar to LGA.

[Sundog]

Yes well LGA also recorded 1 inch of snow when I had 7 inches in November 2012 just 3 miles east.

I honestly don't care if the park recorded 1 inch or 10 inches. 

 

The station is completely irrelevant. I wish people didn't use it as the official record of anything.  

Why is it ok to say their temperarture readings are irrelevant and not reliable but their snowfall amounts are? I think they both suck. 

[SACRUS]

20 / 8 off a low of 13.  Clear till around noon.  Near or sub freezing today (coldest of the next 7 days).  Some flurries or snow showers later to maybe whiten up the ground re coat the snow.  A tinge warmer on Tue to / above freexing low-mid 30.s  Moderation to and above normal Wed (low - mid 40s)  Near 50 / Thu with rain developing overnighg into a warmest of the week Fri (50s) and potentially near one inch of rain to melt the snow cover.  Looks like a brief shot of colder on this coming Saturday in an overall warmer than normal period through Christmas day.   Ridge center a bit west keeping the strongest warmth to our south and west but overall near normal the period after christmas to the end of the month with the very cold to the north and warmth just to the south sandwiching the area and a storm threat to close out the period between 30 - 31.

Maybe an XMACIS glitch since it’s now back down to 2.9”. Very similar to LGA.

Yes. Sometimes data gets in and is automatically flagged and corrected. Occasionally, errors persist and the corrections are made manually. The prior erroneous 72° high for October 2 is one such example. It was corrected in late November.

[Sundog]

2.9 inches my a$$ lolol

Here is someone measuring the snow early in the morning at Central Park, the video was published between 7:30AM and 8AM, she already measured 3 inches on the bench and it snowed moderately and with higher ratios for several more hours afterward.

 

I embedded the video with the appropriate time stamp. 

So spare me the 2.9 inches bullshit guys, it's just flat out wrong.

Oh ok so the amount they released yesterday after the storm was 2.9” but it appears there might have been a 4.4” measurement ?

The 4.4" was an error. The NOWdata has now been corrected to 2.9". In the PNS, there was a report near Central Park that showed 3.1", so the 2.9" is probably reasonable (maybe several tenths low?) this time around.

Kansas City MO was blanketed with 10.8 inches of snow, a 24 hour record for December, and snowfall totals in the Oklahoma panhandle ranged up to 14 inches. Strong winds, gusting to 63 mph at Austin TX, ushered arctic cold into the Great Plains, and caused considerable blowing and drifting of snow. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary)

 

1988 - Blowing snow was reported in western Kansas, as snow and gusty winds plagued the Central Rockies and Central High Plains. Colorado Springs CO reported thirteen inches of snow. Low pressure in Wisconsin brought heavy snow to the Lake Superior snowbelt area, with 22 inches reported at Marquette MI. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary)

Didn't the 1 inch record continue because Central Park said there was .9 in one of the snowfalls?

Yes. That's part of the random element of timing with such records. Those records are interesting but that's about it with them.

It would seem to me the 3 inch measurement on the part of the bench you sit on was relevant and considering it snowed for hours after that makes me question the 2.9

The funny thing is a little before the timestamp I started the video at, the guy is like, "1.1 inches?" clearly indicating that there is no way that was correct, which was the measurement reported like 30 minutes before the video is taking place.
