While I am not at the cabin it does appear, based on my cams, there might have been about 1.5-2” in the Poconos. I did see the plow guy clear the mountain top road and that is usually a sign of about 2”. Looks like a winter wonderland and I cant wait to get there.

Cheers to everyone and have a safe HEALTHY and HAPPY holiday season!!

Edit: Just saw spotter near by had 2.8.

Calling it a car topper is being generous but you can tell something fell from the sky overnight, 31F.

Here it was more like a windshield wiper accumulator. Up to about 10 dipping dots per square inch here on the season. At least we had flakes on Christmas eve! 1st snow pics of the season:

For those who like cold the CFS has a mighty cold looking January on their latest forecast....of course not saying this is reality but could it be the old JB delayed but not denied cold??

That makes total sense. I'm scheduled to be working outside starting on the 4th. Time to break out all the cold weather gear!

Would be one hell of a kick in the behind if this winter was a dead ratter and be looking back at the records to see it snowed on Christmas Eve

 

A little early to throw in the towel, but if you had dead ratter in your office pool, you’re looking good right now.

Monday afternoon is projecting to be a clone of this mornings spare change event, exciting times..

* although the timing would be such that the frosted snow scape would be ideally timed with the holiday lights rather then the useless over night garbage nobody can see sleeping. It's all about the silver linings eh.

That's exactly what happened in 93-94, virtually nothing through December, coating on Xmas, then WHAM 75"!!    At least here in the LV, not so great in Phila.

 

PS thanks so much for fixing your tagline, though I liked JAn 2016 data.  And I was confused by your new one till I looked it up, lol!

Thing about that data is my old location was awful for measuring snow. It was a fish bowl circled by tall ash, tree of heaven and pine. Any storm with wind resulted in trees eating the snow. I measured 27-28" in a nearby field after the storm, which I'm sure if done with a snowboard would have been 30". Felt cheated saying I received 25".

93-94 was the ice winter here. You could see the grass through 3" of ice in our yard, and you could sled on a 1° incline. Memorable!

Yeah, I remember reading about that record January record ice storm in Storm Data, in terms of PECO outages.  Not sure if it's been surpassed -- maybe Irene in 2011?  

  That winter LV had 75" and Phila only 23" -- biggest difference ever by a wide margin
