Getting some heavier snow tonight. Just got a special weather statement for some heavy snow showers bringing a “quick inch”

Healthy half inch to an inch moving through.  Foot prints filling in.  I love when it snows in the evening.  There's something about it happening while sitting on the couch looking out at the flood lights.  Snow growth is excellent, stackable flakes.

Nice signal in the days before Christmas for something. Hard not to like the active look that should continue beyond Xmas.

Picked up 0.2" in that squall.  Up to a solid 0.5" on the season.

[8611Blizz]

Ripping squalls. Time to fire up the salters...

[CoastalWx]

Legit squall. Probably gust  to near 50. That must be over an inch in S Wey. Coating here.

[CoastalWx]

Snow squalls of yore over SE MA And Cape.

Wowza. Aren’t those wunderground forecasts generated from the Amiga model?

Chances, yes. The GFS must be taking its deep fantasy snowpack into consideration with those Christmas morning temp profiles

is that 2  five inchers?

That pre-Xmas event depicted on the euro hints at my fantasy storm:

Something forms 150 miles east of the DelMarVa and hooks back toward Block Island.  Webster on east gets dry slotted with warm temps, fog and drizzle.  Webster to the river is a back and forth battle of mixed precip, the river west is a wind-driven blizzard.

 

[SJonesWX]

arctic feel out there this AM. a dusting of snow, 16 degrees and some light wind made it feel pretty chilly when I was clearing off my brothers car.

The way my luck is going, you'll get it.

That system is all we have before Xmas. I'm not sure where Scott sees another pre Xmas threat, but that's it.

I maybe about 4 days off from punting December. I thought the coast would struggle this month, but I didn't expect to be virtually shut out clear back to near ORH.

I'm at the point where I need more than a hr 270 H5 plot make me feel as though the luck is going to change anytime before the ball drops.

A few days ago on the ensembles showed a couple of threats. 

[40/70 Benchmark]

Friday is rain....which has been clear to me since Sunday.

Then we have the pre Xmas event and then probably one more major threat between Xmas and New Year's.....so while everything looks awesome from a large-scale synoptics stand- point, the devil is in the details. And that devil really needs to stop screaming up the collective tail pipe of eastern New England free of lube, or else this festive holiday appeal is going to remain at H5 and pass us by at the surface.

Simple as that-

I must have missed those, but then again, I am focusing on major signals....so I would gloss over the random whale ripples that could drop an inch or two.

Yeah, one was a weaker signal, the other stronger.
