Ended up with 1.1" of new snow, so another overperformer. Roads are very slippery with no melting during this event, which was mostly at 26-27F. This gives me about 2.5" in the front yard, which gets more sun, and 3" in the backyard, which is shadier, so a white Christmas (more than 1/2" OTG at 7 am Christmas morning, technically) is a guarantee.1.1" + 3.3" the other day and 0.3" in a few small dustings earlier this winter = 4.7", which is about normal for December (NYC's mean snowfall is 4.9", while New Brunswick's is 4.7") and we're unlikely to get more this month.

Central Park probably reported a trace at 7 am and will report 0.1" of snow after melting/compaction at 1 pm, lol.

We got 1" - woohoo! Probably will get another 1/4" before it's over in 15-20 minutes.

3/4" of snow in 1 hour is a pretty nice rate - beautiful, fluffy dendrites, so I'm guessing we're at at least 15:1 ratios (snow to liquid; typical is 10:1). Almost certainly will make 1" now and that's probably about it. Temp actually dropped to 26F. Nice view of the pond across the street in the falling snow...

The HRRR can suck it, lol.

It's gorgeous and it's right across the street from me. That view was worth a lot to me when we were looking at buying homes in Metuchen and it has more than paid off over the last 30 years. Latest pic from our living room...

Up to 1/2" in 45 minutes, so 1" is within reach. Absolutely gorgeous out there. Snow on top of snow without a single flake melting (27F still) on Christmas Eve, so we will have a White Christmas here with 2-2.5" OTG in most locations here. The only thing better would be way more snow, but can't be too greedy these days.

The latest from the NDFD...

3/8" in ~30 min, which is overperforming. That would translate to an inch or so over 90 minutes (looks like a 90 minute wide swath of snow by radar). Most reports in NWNJ/NEPA/SENY where the snow is about over are for 1-1.5", but they were expected to get a bit more, as the band is supposed to weaken some as it heads SE. If it doesn't I think we'll get an inch or more in most of CNJ. Still 27F.

Well, we got 1/8" in the first 15 minutes of snow (started around 7:30 am) which is 1/2" per hour rate, so if this goes for 1.5 hours at this rate, that's 3/4". Will take it. Every flake is accumulating so roads already covered. 27F.

Just went from nada to moderate snow in the last 5 minutes. Nice start!

Let's hope the HRRR isn't as good as it was for the Fri/Sat storm as it has hugely cut down on precip/snow since 0Z...

Was just brutal. I like Schiano as a program builder, teacher of young men, and mostly as a coach, but on occasion, he makes some bonehead decisions and calling TO when IL was going to try a 58 yard FG into a 20 mph wind on 4th and 13 with 15 seconds left was the worst ever. After calling TO just as the ball was snapped, the kick was still attempted as often happens and was 20 yards short, so the IL coach knew there was no chance and they called a pass play instead and scored a TD after every RU defender whiffed on the WR. Ugh.

That's easy - try being a Rutgers fan, lol.

Wow, you had 10.5"?

You seem more negative than you used to be about potential winter weather - you also called for no snow at all for NYC Metro the other day, which was surprising. C'mon, we got a nice 3.3" the other day a bit more likely tomorrow and while long range patterns are always a bit iffy, it's at least positive to see nice teleconnection signals for a change.

This would be nice. The HRRR did great with the storm the other day...

I think folks must be off their game. How could a snowfall map like this not have been posted yet? lol.

Even without any new snow, I expect to have at least 1" OTG Weds am, as we got 3.3" in the recent storm and still have over 2" right now, after some melting/compaction yesterday and almost no melting today obviously and should be minimal melting tomorrow, and I can't imagine losing more than 1" on Tuesday with about 8 hours of temps just a bit above 32F. Of course, a little top-off of snow Tuesday am would be nice.
