Dec 11, 2019 Snowfall OBS only, entire NYC metro area Wednesday morning

[wdrag]

Obs only thread basis: Model consensus (12z/10 NAM and HRRR now back northwest again) suggesting widespread accumulating snowfall of 1 to possibly 5" for the area, max axis unknown and most of it occurring within 4 hours of sunrise Wednesday as temperatures fall to within 2 or 3 degrees of 30 during the snowfall.

Yup 26 and 4" here too. Plows have been out twice already so the streets are probably not bad.  The lowest layer is all slush and is crazy heavy

I'm catching up!  

About 4.5" now, it has been snowing nicely for the last 40 minutes or so and the temp is down a few tenths and is actually at 26 now and with barely a hint of a breeze this top layer is nice and fluffy. Going out to play in the snow (shovel  ) in a few minutes.

[hudsonvalley21]

2.6" here.

[TJW014]

1" so far on the Vette's roof.

There was probably a little bit of compaction, the lowest layer was .5" of slush. It changed over early to white rain and cooled surfaces so really started sticking at 33-34* . 

Everything was wet when the heavy snow started so it stuck to all surfaces and the whole world is blanketed in white. It's nice.

3.3" on the snowboard here.  Even trying to be good, I would have come up with 4" if I didn't use a board:

Good deal, you got short changed on the early December storm so nice they way it evens out.

[CPcantmeasuresnow]

2.4 for the final tally, 14.4 for the month.

Ironically enough, it works both ways. Cant claim a storm busts if i get 3” on the boards and a slushy coating on the streets lol

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".
