Snowy run this morning. It’s been a long time since running with snow on the streets . Winter for a few hours anyway 

I'm taking the long way into work this morning through Granville MA. There's always some nice enhancement up there with the elevation 

[WinterWolf]

We take what we can get…winter has given us at least something so far this December.  Certainly a snowy/wintry morning. The 2nd one this December…Not complaining at all.

Yes, I’ll be around that too.  If we can manage to grab a couple more(?),  we are looking at normal snow for December.

Too bad the cold couldn’t hang on woulda have been 2-4”+ widespread in these parts. I’m close to an inch but it’s freezing rain now

That encouraged me to go out and measure just as sleet started. .8 here with the temp at 27.5°.

Closing in on 2" here... 29 F

[SouthCoastMA]

Models have it hitting a brick wall around RI and drying up

There is a surprising amount of snow out my window right now...eyeing at least 2 inches

[UnitedWx]

Drizzle and sleet now in Simsbury 28 degrees

Hey.. I call this a win as well... Was only expecting a coating at best when I went to bed last night... I'd say it's 1.5" to 2". 

[metagraphica]

0.2" sleet. Changed to rain around 5:30am.

[The 4 Seasons]

0.7" final snow total in North Haven, CT

[jbenedet]

Pattern begins changing for the worse around the first day of winter.

Looks like ski country will be fighting to keep what they have to end the year.

Tomorrow 50’s all the way to presque isle.

Yes... We're gonna have a warm day tomorrow into Wednesday.... But the weather's going to turn sharply colder again Friday. And there is that chance of something Friday night to Saturday morning with the cold weather going into Christmas day. Am I missing something?

I mentioned yesterday that most interesting system for eastern SNE is around the 20th. Cape scrape appeal. Yea should watch that down there. 

All I’m saying is the pattern is shifting to hostile starting around 22nd and last to at least end of year.

A spotter reported 4.0” in New Fairfield. With apologies to those that only care if 18-24” is falling in their backyard, it’s interesting that for the little critters we’ve gotten this season down here in the hinterlands, they’ve all overperformed to a degree. 

06z Euro looks a bit colder for Wednesday and Thursday, particularly in MA. 

 

 

Quite marginal still, but the next thing on the table. Especially for our northern friends.

[ineedsnow]

Slight dusting here maybe .25 at most

[Spanks45]

Hopefully I didn't just use up my surprise positive bust for the year or decade...call it 3.6"

Above freezing and melting as we speak

Still pretty warm but it's going to be close.. hoping it flattens out at 12z today

Yea. These are fine but they melt fast and are a nuisance for school closures. Save the surprises for biggies…

[CoastalWx]

Looks quite mild Christmas to early January. It’s going to take time to break that down I think, especially with no real MJO.

IF the EURO is sniffing something out, you may make up for it Thursday. I love how some here still lives by each run like it's gospel, when they change every run out past 4-5 days...

[Sugarloaf1989]

Between 1/4" and 1/2" of snow here in Enfield.  Currently cloudy and 29F.

I am in Wilbraham and there’s about a half inch or so.

my mother-in-law‘s funeral is today so at least the snow brightens things up, better than cold rain!

I think we busted positively in last year's storm too...take what we can and enjoy it, maybe we squeak something out this weekend too, before a couple cold days. Then warm it up over the holidays. I have plenty of work to do outside anyway, lol.

[HoarfrostHubb]

Euro looks to be on its  own wrt Weds...   looks to be rain for SNE

[SJonesWX]

0.0", although i did see a few flakes, but that may have been dandruff

[WinterWolf]

Huge positive bust last Feb. positive bust 10 days ago, positive bust today too…I’m liking the Tenor.

Yea. Again there's no canadian high, and the antecedent is warm.

I find when you look to your north/west and see dews at/above freezing in marginal events like this, it's a pretty big tell on rain or, at best, white rain. We're basically relying on wetbulbing and wetbulbing alone won't cut it with this airmass.
