OBS and Totals-12/13-14 Snow Event

[mob1]

Last band should put me over 5", very very happy. 

 

[RU848789]

As of 9 am we have 5.7" otg at 31F and it looks like we'll hit 6"with another half hour of decent snowfall remaining and then some lighter snow after that. Starting to see a little wind bringing diem mini snow avalanches from the trees lol. Here's a pic.

Looking like a solid 3-4 over there. Will Definitely surpass 5 Here in bayside when all is said and done.

Heading outside now,,,,,not disappointed at all and I hope everyone enjoys the snow that they got I will measure in a bit and the temps here in new city are dropping 

[CPcantmeasuresnow]

I'm curious what anyone in Manhattan near central park thinks of the 1.1 "official measurement in the Park at 7:00 am? 

At 7:00 am 2.4 at EWR, 1.7 at LGA and 2.6 at JFK. If it was once you let it go but it's all the time.

Maybe they should just stop and make LGA the official measurements in NYC or actually get a trained spotter near the Park to take them. I guess they just don't give a F.

This will likely be a warning event overachiever for many and even did well north of the city due to a little help from the trough buckling and bringing moisture north. 1-2 degrees help and Central Park would be 5" right now too. 

[Sampson]

Right around 5”, maybe a little more.

Fox had a reporter measure exactly 3" at the park about a half hour ago.

Central Park has been getting out of hand, especially since 2020. The only problem is that it’s still the official measuring site of NYC. So when people look back in the past on this storm, they’ll see there was only like 2” in NYC. That’s rubbish

[NorthShoreWx]

5.3" here as of 9:30.  Good shot at 6".

 

FYI, warning criteria here is 6", but not if they think the 6" totals will be isolated (or spread out over more than 12 hours) [edited for correctness]

If they measure again it should be more. The best accumulation was really just the last hour or so. Micronets show freezing temps only recently getting into the 5 boros and more so uptown. This is shaping up to be more a Sunday storm than a overnight one since the temps were relatively mild

Awesome

[Stormlover74]

Measured a bunch between 5.5 and 6.5 so I'll go with an average of 6. Still snowing in this final band. Temp down to 30

[sussexcountyobs]

6.5" still snowing.  21°

[terrapin8100]

Measured about 4.5" on the deck in Ossining. Still snowing lightly here but should be done in the next hour. 27°

I thought it was 6" in 12 hours? Maybe this is spread out over longer but I think we definitely hit 6", good shot at the 7". Radar looks good for next couple hours maybe.

Same here. Awesome. Last night we said we'd be happy with 4, so this is a nice overachiever. Beautiful out there with all the trees and bushes coated with the heavy wet snow.

You’re correct. 6” in 12hrs and 8” in 24 hrs is the criteria.

Do you have an official number? I’m over 5 on pavement but didn’t use snowboard

Radar keeps backbuilding too so could pick up a little more

[oceanctyguy]

Decent plowable snow here in northern Ocean County. Holding at 31-32 degrees for 90% of the storm. 6 inches and still coming down nicely. At least the snow piles will be around for a while!

[chrisNJ]

About 6” here in Hillsborough. Great December storm!

It's actually 6 inches in Upton area, 5 inches in Mt. Holly area and 7 inches in Albany area

[Cyg]

Still snowing nicely here in Brick

[Krs4Lfe]

Well for the most part, the storm behaved as expected for most places. Aside from parts of the 5 boroughs (which will likely be in the 3-6" range anyway when all is said and done) starting out a bit warm because of Urban Heat Island, this was a pretty good event for most people. Will probably see a swath of 5-7" surrounding NYC and then 3-5" in NYC. In line with most forecasts

[MJO812]

30 degrees here in Brooklyn with big flakes

[jm1220]

Definitely a heavy pasty snow too. Will be interesting to see how much water's in it, this will have staying power which is always good. The high QPF models won out for sure.

[mob1]

30 at the park now with snow continuing. I really hope this brings them to some semblance of a respectable number. 

Knowing them though, the final will probably be something silly like 1.3"
