13-14 definitely was a good December too iirc. No biggies but several nickle and dimes.

Great wall-to-wall winter, actually. Technically, 17-18 and 20-21 also had above average December snowfall.

Didn't we get the Boxing Day snowstorm in 2010-11?

I thought the saying was November... December is already part of winter.

Jersey got the brunt of that storm. I think Philly west just had flurries, and light accumulations

Legit ice / sleet accumulations

1.4” of sleet accumulations 

 

8.8” of snow / sleet for the year

With our 0.8" of sleet and ice yesterday our December snow total is now at 11.2" this is the 5th most in December in the 23 years I have been at this location. Temperatures today will struggle to get to freezing so be careful out there. We warm to near 40 degrees tomorrow and then turn unseasonably warm on Monday with highs into the middle 50's. To go along with the warmer temperatures rain will arrive tomorrow night and last into Monday. The cold returns by Monday night and we will end the days leading into the New Year with well below normal temperatures.

I think it’s my favorite winter of my lifetime(born 1990) for that exact reason.  wall to wall winter with really no warm spells til march. That never happens around here.

It was one of those rare winters where we’d be under a winter storm warning and already tracking the next threat.

Getting a little burst of flurries.  29.7F
