OBS-Nows for the Tues AM 12/24 2 hour burst of snow near daybreak. There may be a little ice on extreme se edge of the subforum s of I78 and e LI.

A burst of snow Tuesday morning will refresh area snow cover, helping many of us to a white Christmas (more than 1/2" of snow on the ground at 7AM Wednesday).  There's a separate thread for the 7A Wed 12/25 snow depth. Snowfall may be impressive for short time, coating all untreated surfaces with slippery broom able fluff.

The temp getting to upper 30s won’t help but I have hope

Thanks Walt. Could be a tricky go tomorrow morning especially with the cold ground temps that will keep the snow from melting quickly on untreated roadways. Hopefully travelers and commuters take their time.  Currently 21/7.

It will be below freezing when the snow starts. The earlier it comes in the better.

Models show the precip weakening as it heads east of the city which would kill the potential more than temps. Models actually have it around freezing on the western half of LI just away from the ocean, and heavier rates would crash the temps quick. However they also show the precip weakening east of the city. The longer the time over water on the SW wind the more the temp might spike.

Fv3 has a nice band over NYC. Over an inch on FV3 on TT.

[IrishRob17]

Snowing, 22/18. I have not measured yet but the cars are all covered. 

[wdrag]

Wantage NJ 0.8" at 635A. small - met sized densely filled fluff flakes. 20F SB around 515A.  Snowing at a nice clip. 

[CPcantmeasuresnow]

23 degrees moderate snow. Driveway and roads covered, grass already was.

[dmillz25]

30 with snow on the doorstep 

[bluewave]

Probably a quick coating to 1” where the best snow bursts occur.

 

[EastonSN+]

Central Park should get close to 2.5 for the season.

[ForestHillWx]

Didn’t except the snow to start so soon. Roads are covered and it’s dumping fine flakes. 

[Superstorm93]

Beautiful dendrites and probably down to 0.5 miles 

All surfaces quickly covering back up 

[Tatamy]

Having a nice burst of snow this morning.  0.8” new

[RU848789]

Just went from nada to moderate snow in the last 5 minutes.  Nice start!

[wdrag]

Wantage NJ 1.5". snow almost over. I saw Blairstown CoCoRaHs 1"

[jaquanweb]

at ewr on the ramp coming down nice

[qg_omega]

nice snow, looks like half inch to one inch in this band

[wdrag]

CoCoRaHs snowfalls for all who reported prior to 740AM.  

[RU848789]

Well, we got 1/8" in 15 minutes which is 1/2" per hour rate, so if this goes for 1.5 hours at this rate, that's 3/4". Will take it. Every flake is accumulating so roads already covered.

[MJO812]

Snowing here

[Superstorm93]

Rates easing up a bit here now, but probably around an inch if I had to guess. 

Forgot to clear off the board. 

[MJO812]

Coming down heavier here in Brooklyn

When they measure at 1:00 it won't be there. They're already at 2.5 they just didn't record it. I know it's a broken record but still frustrating. 

[rgwp96]

Many should get more than the less than inch forecasted 

[Euripides]

Snowing nicely and instantly sticking to the ground since so cold. 

Too bad could not stay at this rate for a few hours but still nice to see on Christmas Eve.

[dmillz25]

Borderline heavy here, everything covered 

[ILoveWinter]

Coming down hard in the UWS, easily sticking to everything.
