Good morning folks happy and healthy thanksgiving to all I couldn't help but think back to the original twc weather board where a lot of us meet and drifted over to n.e. weatherboard .We were thrown off that board in a hurry most resentments came from imby forecasts. There weren,t any subforums and certain folks were like oil and water plus cyberspace was a much smaller and less commercialised.I still don't understand the weather that much but there are a lot of fond memories with all the chaos in the early years and great laughs.see ya p.s my grammar still sucks but don't tell bostonfella lol.

 Count me in. :snorkle:

 

Actually, for some reason I don't understand I am enjoying this dreary day.  Must be the 5 minutes of big wet snow flakes that we had or the little bit of sleet that accumulated on top of the windshield wiper.  Or maybe just glad to know it is snowing somewhere.

 

OMG its snowing in beautiful Port Jefferson as of about 8:15 AM this morning...the first snow this year that hasn't fallen w/o some simultaneous rain.  Temperature is about 35 F with a light breeze out of the WNW.

I agree with your sentiments about not being terribly displeased with the lack of snowfall out here yesterday; when you think of all the good fortune this area has had with regards to snowfall...really clear back to the 1993-94 winter...one would likely need to possess a "Fisherman's Wife" mentality to voice dissatisfaction with Nature.

Flurries, 36F.  Agree that yesterday wasn't too disheartening.   Same outcome a month from now would have been much more of a let down.

Didn't even get flakes with the last round of precip this afternoon. Was rain and some sloppy kinda flakes. Our snow virginity continues down here. But Happy Thanksgiving from my puddles to yours!!

Did you ever see any flakes last night? That's the real question. I had about 73 total for a minute stretch

Another thing I noticed is many times the forecast is for temps to 'crash' behind the storm only to remain steady..last night temps rose to 35-37 and have stayed there since.

Yep! I've noticed this happens often. Forecast is for temps to go down at the tail end of a storm and during the last batch of precip. You often hear "areas can expect another 3-6 inches as this last round comes through into colder air", but it rarely materializes. As with yesterday, once the storm's precip turns to snow, it will usually go down a few degrees or more (as it did yesterday) and then hover around there or go higher as precip lightens up at the end. One thing that needs to be put to rest is if temperatures the night before a storm are 5 degrees higher or lower than modeled. This low level cold air really has many effects on the type of precip, accumulations, etc. Though models clearly are not the end-all, if they have reached a consensus right before the storm occurs that it will mix with or change to rain, despite a very rare instance when the models all blow it and are wrong, no conspiracy theory about the storm being closer to the coast or a 700mb warm tongue not pushing in, etc.....is going to change it
