Moderate snowfall 12/14/2025 WWA up for most of the area

[WestBabylonWeather]

Stated as snow. No mix. Temp down to 34 

[sussexcountyobs]

5" of solid clear ice on the lake under a little snow. A couple guys ice fishing today out there. Currently: light snow. 28.2

hmmm...sky looks like its clearing here....guess the flurries were just a sideshow.

Some of the ponds around here are frozen as well.  Not sure of depth but they are iced over and snow covered.  Wouldn't want to organize an ice hockey game just yet.

34 and light snow. Light Coating on car tops and grass.

29 here and just the lightest of flurries.

My forecast for around my area is 1-3".  Not expecting to reach 4" around here unless this over performs this far NW.

We'll see how it goes.

Best to everyone....enjoy!

Actually there was a break in the radar with main batch about 40 miles still to the west?

The frozen ground definitely made a big difference. Down to 33 here and the patio and some of the sidewalks are snow covered. So we won’t lose any qpf later.

Yes. I am a sissy when it comes to going out on ice. I like 6". Preferably 8" of clear non slush ice. The young bucks were out there today. And drilled over the whole lake. 5" of solid clear ice.

4 inches for our area sound good? That's what I'm going with.

Smells like snow out there. Haven't seen a single flake.

Great to hear.  I have no idea what effect next week's' warming trend will have on that thickness?

[CPcantmeasuresnow]

30.0 and light snow. Still no advisory for Orange County.

I'd be thrilled with that!

Judging by the current temps and dewpoints around NYC, temps should drop to around freezing fairly quickly once the steady snow moves in.

Lake ice is a very tricky thing. A couple days of slight warming and below freezing at night is no big deal  when u get snow a several inches of snow cover on lake. Its like an insulating blanket. It will melt from below the ice.

I am referring to this as a snow hole. It's not a good way to start a storm but it should gradually fill in between 10-midnight.

Yeah usually you don’t want a storm to move in later because the later it moves in, you always lose some QPF. Nothing but flurries in NYC. Accumulating snow to the east and west though.

Most of the more reliable guidance didn't bring the significant snow into the area prior to midnight.

I was gonna say most of what I've seen doesn't get the bulk of precip in here until the early morning hours.
