Sure, but the sun angle at solar noon only drops another 0.2° between now and the solstice. Do you really think that 0.2° of sun elevation outweighs all the other signals telling us it's winter? That going skating beneath the Rockefeller tree is an autumn pastime?
-
Same as it ever was. Pretty remarkable that not enough halfway through December, many of us are already well average on the month for both rain *and* snow. Active pattern, to be sure.
-
I will not abide the use of astronomical seasons on this forum.
-
Waterways are rather full around here. Maybe some minor hydro issues with another couple inches of rain.
-
Well, that's all of next year's meteor showers ruined. Nice going, jerk
-
I'm only half-joking when I say the NWS should authorize the taking of official measurements on car tops in marginal temp events like this morning. That's how the vast majority of people interact with what fell. When Joe the plumber clears 3" off his car, it doesn't matter what some nerds with pieces of white plywood say... he'll tell people he got 3". -
3.7" new snow @ 26F. Roads are messy.
-
Snow at 32F with vis around 1/2 mile. Sticking nicely to all but the darkest surfaces, so there will probably be a nice caking of snow when dawn breaks. I certainly did not anticipate changing over this early.
-
Man alive... it feels like it's been raining for a month. Multi-day rainstorms around the shortest daylight hours of the year are atrocious. Making some headway on temp, at least. 34F now.
-
Yeah, the ceiling is low for most. I think there is a heightened potential for little mesoscale features to enhance totals in a few spots. Maybe one of those deals where some school district gets 4" and calls a delay, and everyone goes "wtf" in neighboring towns after clearing a dusting off their cars.
-
Two thoughts: 1) The NAM over the last couple runs has become more aggressive with fgn over the interior late tonight/early tomorrow. 2) We're gonna get rimed to heck and back.
-
The sleet layer is resurrected.
-
My low was 6 earlier. Some stations were down around 3 or 4F north of US-44, which leads me to believe a few of the coldest hollows touched 0.
-
Flurries are ongoing here, so I've clenched the 7 consecutive days of flakes falling. It's finally at the point where even the GP is taking notice.
-
It's a way of life, man.
-
We'll likely tack on a sixth day of flakes tomorrow. Saturday is a long shot.
-
The temp wants so badly to freefall into oblivion. On the brink of decoupling as I bounce between 17 and 20 from minute to minute, depending on clouds. An hour of clear skies at this point and I'd be in single digits
-
I believe the focus of that band remained pretty much stationary from Albany down to about Hyde Park, closely following the river corridor. The 12-20" reports in NW Dutchess and SW Columbia are very impressive. I was likely sitting under subsidence between areas of enhancement, which would explain why I only saw about an inch after 9 pm.
-
7.4" of snow, sleet, and grauple since Sunday morning
-
Radar has filled in nicely... there won't be any death bands like some models were hinting at earlier, but I'm still seeing periods of steady accumulating snows. If this keeps up for the rest of the evening I'll be able to make peace with this storm.
-
Melting your snow is sacrilege. It must be reverently and tenderly relocated.
-
I had to call on the triple-threat tractor, blower, and ice chopper to manage that stuff. Glacial.
-
0.5" new since I measured last night, so 2.3" total. Days and days FTW, feet and feet FTL. Hopefully that band over CT pivots westward.
-
Yep, though the half hour or so of well-timed dendrites early this aftn made for some of the most festive tree murdering wx in many years.
-
I have 1.7" of sleet and snow for round 1. There may not be a round 2 as such if the last few HRRR runs are to be believed, which would make for a disappointing storm indeed.
