Always round up, correct? Yeah but my grass stopped growing 7 months ago so i couldnt do my tried and true method of measuring from the actual dirt to the top of the snow sitting on the long grass this year.

Mine had stopped as well but I put down some winterizer and lime right before the alleged by some "blip in the drought" and it started growing again. As a result it's the longest I've ever had it for winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted Saturday at 02:09 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 02:09 PM 12.2" on the season now, which is above average. Nov I was 2.2" above average and December is .1" below average for the entire month, so clearly December is above average to date. Hoping to get at least that .1 in the next few days. Seasons Greetings one and all! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPcantmeasuresnow Posted Saturday at 02:33 PM Share Posted Saturday at 02:33 PM 3.6 inches here as of 7am. May have added a few tenths since. Will get final measurement at 10:00. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted Saturday at 02:42 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 02:42 PM Besides the time of year, what I'm really enjoying with this snowfall is that there is cold air streaming in behind the storm. It seems like most of our snowfalls these days come with warmer temps on its heels. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops the snow cover too! 3.5” for the snow total. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepaJames8602 Posted Saturday at 06:08 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:08 PM Awesome little event once again. Measuring right around 5.8" inches here in the Poconos of pure fluff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted Saturday at 06:27 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:27 PM I'm pretty satisfied with my 2-3" considering I wasn't expecting more than an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdrag Posted Sunday at 12:18 PM Share Posted Sunday at 12:18 PM Good morning everyone - Dec 22. A white Christmas is assured for most of us in e PA/NJ northward to Canada. Tuesday morning Midnight-Noon I78 in PA-NJ northward. A 3 hour period of snow deposits 0.5-1.5" needing road treatments for reducing slippery travel. Normal manageable winter driving habits - caution advised. Roads frozen from this weekends bitter cold. Next events: Day after Christmas (26th): e PA, northern NJ- Southeast NYS. Snow possible with 1/2-3" potential but model uncertainty whether this occurs so it's not a given yet. It may begin Christmas night? Also this could also extend to CT. I84 corridor northward 28th-30th: Periods of Ice mixed wintry possible but lots of uncertainty. Could be just rain. Maps added are the generalized NWS 5AM snow forecast that informed their early morning products. Also a map of the Blend of Models snowfall which is a good start for what should occur early Christmas Eve. AND--- if you're interested---a map of soil temps 2 inches below the surface in NYS. Interesting that its near zero on the surface, but above freezing 2" below ground. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted Sunday at 02:27 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:27 PM The warm soil temps will have a significant effect on snowpack retention if we don't get a lot in the fairly near future. We got rain but not enough, as referenced by WDrag comment elsewhere, so there's a lot of warm air in the soil below the wet level and now it's insulated with a (thin) frozen cap and snow so it'll stay warm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted Monday at 01:09 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:09 PM Too early to be sure of this...but 28th-29th is flagging mixed and icy, significant for travel on untreated surfaces. See attachment.blue area. GFS looks like it's missing this but maybe I'm relying too much on other models. Anyways, WSSI-P has it for now. We'll see if it hold. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly my little surplus will vanish as we move forward. 30/17 at the noon hour at home, not bad. This post didn't age well, I'm 1.2" above normal for the entire month of December at this point.
