I can’t remember so many beautiful paste events.  One a week now for three weeks.

That’s awesome. Good start up there. 

Behind DCA now here. Probably until late January.

2.84", Temps hovered right around 39°F at my casa, East and weaker track with 5-10 mph winds did not allow us to mix out, Snowpack is gone except for some piles.

Worst of both worlds! 

[dendrite]

Pack was wiped out here too. Just piles remaining.

Still 4" here, which will be white pavement when the temps fall.  And still enough frozen on the driveway to bring out the wood-ash bucket tomorrow.

Looks like the serious RA is done for us, some light stuff for another hour or 2.

Wasn't surprised with the wind as i didn't expect anything big in that dept here, A bit surprised at the temps though, Thought we could see 50's but a weaker system and with CAD holding on as we didn't get torched on strong southerly winds scuttled that, The areas mid coast east that generally experience strong winds them along the coast looked to have got some but did not look like anything out of the ordinary, Looks like NW Maine will retain snow though as rainfall totals were less then and looked to have flipped to snow with several inches so not a total loss, We will rebuild at some point here.

Great Tom, Glad you could hold on to some pack, That should become bullet proof with some colder temps moving in, The rain is done here as well as it looks like just some showers left.

[Layman]

Looks like we'll be finishing at 2.27" total rainfall here.  Breeze picking up a little now.  

[alex]

The radar looks dry but it’s dumping. Weird

[Hazey]

Snowpack wipeout here as well. 60’s will do that. At least it lasted almost a week. That’s light years better than last year. We start again.

[Lava Rock]

2.94". FU mothernature

expected closer to 4"

We were just model magnified ...that's what happened. 

10 to as much as 60% of most systems on any given D9 plot ...if they happen at all, should be mandatory scalp off the top of whatever magnitude the system is depicted at that range.  Been saying this for the last 5 years.

Particularly true in the GFS family -

How were the winds?

[rcostell]

Not New England, but not far. Hope you don't mind.  About 7-8 inches of very heavy wet snow at 32 degrees almost throughout, here at 1800' near Whiteface. Power out for hours, some trees down in immediate (very rural) area. Birch bender for sure. Still snowing lightly, bit of upslope. Down in nearby WIlmington- probably 4 inches or less- elevation driven.

When we are barely cold enough to snow up here each week, doesn’t bode well elsewhere.

Upslope is ripping right now.  Heavy snow again.  Maybe best of event lol.

Very nice, was up at Whiteface Lodge over thanksgiving weekend and had more snow in the lower elevations than at hotel elevation which is just about 2k.  Looks like normalization has resumed.

Checked my stratus and it was 2.77" compared to 2.84" in the tipper for this one.

It would suck for many on coastal's too as he loves a slp with a PWM track over there.

2.35" of rain from the event. Pretty pedestrian overall.

Yeah, wind never a factor here. I forgot to weight my wood tarp yesterday and it didn’t get blown off.

Same exact thing here on one of my piles!  I thought "There goes another cord of dry wood."  Woke up this morning and it didn't budge.  Had a gust of 22mph here.  

[Modfan2]

As we approach the end of the year, are any SNE stations approaching any records on yearly precip/rainfall? 

[iceman1]

well here i got 4.45 inches of the wet stuff winds were nothing much peak gust was 15 mph .

it was nice up in Kennebunkport over the weekend drove home into the rain on Sunday.
