Drizzle has turned to moderate snow in Putnam County. It's unlikely to last but in just a few minutes it has whitened everything up nicely! Temp 34F and falling. Cold air aloft is moving back in.

I'm down to 30* now with strong N/NW winds and moderate snow. Like you said, everything whitened up in a hurry here too. Be careful out there tonight and tomorrow morning, all the residual salt washed away this afternoon in the heavy rain so the roads are freezing up really quickly. My patio is already a skating rink.

I think it is interesting how Islip so frequently manages to finish first in rainfall and with a similar frequency last in snowfall, even when the type of precipitation is not in question...

Pretty cool wind shift, even though it was a while ago.

This is what I was referencing in a post yesterday about two distinct wind threats. The first being from the primary low and having the greatest affects for coastal Long Island and places the further east of the LP. Second threat was after the clearing of the front and for areas from W to E and especially interior areas that had little/no wind earlier with a more NW component. My winds have finally started to increase here in interior northern NJ.

"First in rainfall last in snowfall" sounds like a similar quote attributed to DC

You've got the City right, though I believe the precise quote is:

"Washington: First in War, First in Peace, and Last in the American League."

The reference of course being to the American League perennial cellar dwellers, the Washington Senators...

I'm surprised the cold front didn't wait until just after midnight to pass through...then we could have had another distorted mean temperature for tomorrow...
