Just about ended here in Jersey City. Nothing accumulated but it was still nice to see wet flakes in the air.

As a reminder for the upcoming few storms, the NSSL is looking to collect precipitation reports during events, especially ones like this with lots of mixed phase precipitation and transitioning phases. The links for the free apps are available below. For more information, see --http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/topic/38385-nssl-releases-mping-app-for-ground-truth-precipitation-reporting/ . Remember, rain reports are just as important as snow ones!

Enjoy your snow and Merry Christmas guys!

Still snowing nicely up here. We might push a little past 1" before all is said and done. A minor event but a nice surprise, and it looks to lead into a more wintry regime.

Pictures? I'd love to see what snow looks like...especially a whole inch. We long islanders rarely get the chance to see our palm trees covered with snow. It must be glorious up at mount zucker right about now. Just try to stay safe. :)

I thought the palm trees were confined to LaGuardia... ;)

Literally speaking, there's a house in my neighborhood that has several palm trees in front of it, most of them are still alive, though their foliage is yellow, stems are completely green.

Just had a band of light to moderate rain move through. Might be freezing rain if the temps are at freezing like the airports are showing.

There are a few species of palms which are cold hardy in this area (I-95 south and east), the Windmill Palm being the most famous as it could handle most winters in NYC...

Light snow falling still here in Monroe, NY in Orange County - dwindling down but we got about half inch or so. They actually came thru and plowed. So I can officially say I saw a "plowable" snow Xmas eve 2012 LOL

I wish we could have all seen a nice snowstorm for Christmas but on the bright side at least it's not 50 degrees and dry. Here is to hoping we all get a good winter going forward.

While I don't post too often I do read this site quite often and really enjoy all the analysis and forecasting that people provide. Along with some occasional entertainment. I would like to wish you all a merry Christmas, happy holidays and a great new year!
