Rare day that both Philly and Boston get snow and NYC gets shut out but here we are!

[sussexcountyobs]

I just want another 1.75" to get me to 20" for the season so far.

It’ll be a crazy weird visible satellite tomorrow-swath in a chunk of SNE and NJ to around Philly with snow on the ground, massive middle finger in between. 

Unfortunately, there was always going to be a skunk zone between the costal and IVT. Looks fall directly over LI and eastern portions of the city

And it was well forecast. That NJ second snow area was apparent 24+ hours ago. Can’t say there were any real surprises. “Norluns always trend NE in the end” doesn’t apply when NYC/LI would benefit.

Definitely looks like a jackpot 30 to 50 miles west/sw of NYC

Snowy night on the Nam

[psv88]

One day we’ll get another Juno/Nemo storm out here, until then the snowblower remains in the back of the garage without gas…

[TJW014]

Finally flipped to all snow under a decent band. Down to 33.

One such storm: December 14-15, 1969:

Boston: 3.4"; Philadelphia: 1.5"; Baltimore: 2.0"; Washington, DC: 0.3"; New York City: None

Life seemingly is built on irony... throw the thing in the dumpster.

I used mine last winter for the surprise clipper.

Bad to leave the snowblower with no gas. Fill it up with super unleaded, and an ounce or 2 of Sta-Bil. Start it every once and a while for a couple minutes. SUPER UNLEADED. You will thank me if you do that .

Nice moderate  snow. It still isn't sticking to pavement with the temp at 33 here, but a decent coating on colder surfaces. Looking forward to 1 to 2 inches of snow tonight! 

[Stormlover74]

Slight ne shift on the hrrr?

This might count as rubbing it in, lol.

Looks like you will be right - just hoping, selfishly, that the Edison area at least gets in on some of it - starting to get a nice batch here with light to moderate snow again for the first time in a couple of hours and starting to accumulate at 33F.  

Ok, kids, game on! We got 3/8" in the last hour for an hourly rate of - wait for it - 3/8" per hour, lol. Snowing moderately at 33F and accumulating everywhere except on paved surfaces - nice dendrites, so the snow growth aloft must be nice in the dendritic growth zone. Radar looks good for awhile, so 1-2" is certainly in reach. Let's see how it goes. My wife and I just went for a very nice walk outside - it's just gorgeous out there!

If it's empty for awhile like you said. There's nothing to drain from carb most likely. But yes. Drain the card of that bad regular gas, if there6any in there. Regular gas is shit. Never use it in any small engine.

Still hanging at 27  - 27.4 degrees.  Been steady in that range since sunset.  Just measured 2” on the nose.  Steady light snow continues.

I just don’t see this happening.

 

The intensity isn’t there and it’s too warm. It’s still in the mid 30s. Maybe out of New Jersey somewhere, but east of the Hudson is doing nothing.

[sussexcountyobs]

Light snow continues.  26.6°

Just measured 2"

[RU848789]

If the 01Z HRRR (below) and RAP and the 0Z NAM (below) are right, we're going to get another 1-2" in most of CNJ/NNJ/NYC and even down to Philly and parts of SNJ.

Nice. Enjoy! Hopefully you can gain enough for a white Christmas.

What?  Worst thing for any gas powered machine.  Run all the gas out and prevent that carb from gunking up...
