Wounded Duck Strikes Back: Dec 26 & 27th Winter Storm Obs

[WxWatcher007]

Alright, Boxing Day is here, 12z runs are in, and hope springs eternal for the once downtrodden winter weenies that have tracked this one for about a week now. The once wounded duck has rehabbed, bulked up on eggnog and leftovers, and is on the attack.

It's time to bring this one home.

Obs here. May the odds be ever in your favor.

Currently 7.1/0.3 at WXW2 in Saranac Lake

It's 21.9/4.0 at WXW1 in East Hartford, CT

Thinking WXW1 grabs 6" while I land somewhere within 1-2" here. 

[Baroclinic Zone]

Dim sun. 22/1

2-4” here.

[rimetree]

The duck theme in these threads gives me a hankering to eat a whole Peking duck if I get even an inch out of this.  20/5, filtered sun

[UnitedWx]

Fading partial sun in Westfield, 20 degrees. Our Christmas light hike was rescheduled to this afternoon. Should be festive!

22.6/3.2 at nearby PWS.

Yeah definitely let us know how that band performs there.

23/0 here with lowering clouds, have to overcome the dry air before it comes down, I think we're going to wind up with two bands, one major and a secondary NE of the main one, who's in between is sucking exhaust imho... we'll see how it pans out, point and click has me at 9 now and ALY right there too, up from 5 yesterday.. go time!

[SJonesWX]

15/5 here, expecting 0.0”

[Sey-Mour Snow]

24/7 hoping for double digits.. would be best December total that I've tracked and that I can remember..

Good luck down there. Hope you get crushed.

Snowing in Greenwich

[tavwtby]

man this is going to be a cold one, if it's snowing in Greenwich at 23/14, that's some good rates.

[tavwtby]

[WeatherX]

Right to steady light snow on the edge of that heavy band. 20dbz on the radar.

Really missed an opportunity to call this Boxing Day II: The Wounded Duck

Not a classic and historic nor'easter like Boxing Day but a large warning level event for a lot of SNE/Tri-State i think deserves the sequel name, especially if it over performs. 

OVC/25

I didn't experience Boxing Day so all I know is the lore about it, and I just couldn't bring myself to putting this in the same class.

There's a chance my area outperforms Boxing Day 1

Much of CT could outperform Boxing Day 2010….there was a big sucker hole in that one that also extended up into chunks of MA where totals were like 5-8”.

Possibly though 10-18" in W CT is still quite a lot

I dont think you would get much complaints from SNE considering how that played out..The Boxing Day Fiasco. Underperformed most areas save Berkshires and that stripe from Essex to Bristol counties

Tri-State might have something to say about it though - ha

I got like 2.5" on Boxing Day in Noho.  Went to a funeral the next morning and in spots was bare ground due to winds.

[Spanks45]

Still pretty dry out there....but that wall of precip sure is close

25.2/6

[The 4 Seasons]

Airport totals are really suspect from that storm. ORH and BDL specifically. But those were the official numbers so..

[snowman21]

Vis is maybe 1/2 mile in this band over the panhandle of CT. Accumulating nicely.

That was around the time BDL used to not measure correctly

Boxing Day sucked here. Just hours of shredded baking powder in roaring wind. I'm more excited for this one honestly.
