Up to 1/2" in 45 minutes, so 1" is within reach.  Absolutely gorgeous out there.  Snow on top of snow without a single flake melting (27F still) on Christmas Eve, so we will have a White Christmas here with 2-2.5" OTG in most locations here.  The only thing better would be way more snow, but can't be too greedy these days.  

3/4" of snow in 1 hour is a pretty nice rate - beautiful, fluffy dendrites, so I'm guessing we're at at least 15:1 ratios (snow to liquid; typical is 10:1). Almost certainly will make 1" now and that's probably about it. Temp actually dropped to 26F.

Very light snow started at 8:35am.  It's still very light.  This one is on its last legs as it dessicates its way eastward.  Oh well.

once the sun comes out by afternoon with rising temps most will melt and it will be only a partial white christmas around the immediate metro.........

Damn dude; that’s some high level Debbie-downing. 

[Allsnow]

Definitely close to a inch

Time will tell - with temps in the upper 30's what do you think will happen ? with mostly sunny skies in the afternoon ? Was less then an inch that fell.......

Let people enjoy the snow lol 

I think everyone can infer what will happen when the sun comes out and temps rise above freezing.

We got 1" - woohoo! Probably will get another 1/4" before it's over in 15-20 minutes.

[SRRTA22]

0.75" here in Southern Jersey City.

Not bad!!!

[psv88]

Fell apart up here. Just a dusting. glad other areas got a nice little event. 

[RU848789]

Central Park probably reported a trace at 7 am and will report 0.1" of snow after melting/compaction at 1 pm, lol.  

[WestBabylonWeather]

Drove down to Robert Moses. Snowing nicely. Dusting.

Ended up with 1.1" of new snow, so another overperformer. Roads are very slippery with no melting during this event, which was mostly at 26-27F. This gives me about 2.5" in the front yard, which gets more sun, and 3" in the backyard, which is shadier, so a white Christmas (more than 1/2" OTG at 7 am Christmas morning, technically) is a guarantee.

1.1" + 3.3" the other day and 0.3" in a few small dustings earlier this winter = 4.7", which is about normal for December (NYC's mean snowfall is 4.9", while New Brunswick's is 4.7") and we're unlikely to get more this month.

For what it’s worth, I measured 0.9 inches on Roosevelt Island this AM which, combined with last week’s event, brings the seasonal total to 2.9 inches.  No idea what CPK will do and, to be honest, I’ve long stopped considering that measurement.

Close enough for the 3-inches-in-December-Niñas rule? 

[uofmiami]

Snow just ended and measured .5” on the board in N Syosset. 

[MJO812]

Everyone shoveling on my block. I guess no one is waiting for it to melt later lol

[MANDA]

1.2" new snow here.  That fell in just about a 2 hour period.  Average snow depth is 4". 

Melted total today is .09".

[jm1220]

Just under an inch in Long Beach. Flurries now.
