December 9th Storm - Snow Map

Just got back from dinner. A little over 4” on the grass and colder surfaces. 1.5” on the paved surfaces. Best snow of the day coming down now. Another 1-2” and I’ll wind up really pleased. 4-6” isolated 7” area wide. Not bad.

In some of the heavier snow bands as we speak!

Queens/Nassau county border getting good rates!

5" for the day, not bad considering we were initially in the 1-3"

Seems done here, 4.25" nice early snowfall!

I know we’re not all quite done (I am, with 5” in Clifton, NJ)...but takeaways for the season from this storm? Touchy handoffs from medium range to short range? Reminder to keep eyes on dewpoints/humidity %? Interested in whether anyone has given it any thought as we move ahead.

Picked up 5. Nice first storm of the season.

Closing in on 5”. One more good band coming through. Snow last 3 hours much fluffier. Just shoveled 2.5” off the pavement. If you don’t know better many people won’t measure this correctly.

5” exactly on the top of College Hill in Easton, PA. I was expecting to top out at 3 so this one definitely over performed. Not too shabby for this early in the season!

5.5" here!!! LMAO MUHAHAHAHSHAHA
By who NWS Upton the 1-3, LEE G?? They all are conservative until about 12 hours before it hits up here.
With that PNA I always thought this was a good 3 " plus type system sista.
Alex knows this firsthand.
Clipper add the refresher and then the bottom drops out of temp or Dec for a few days. Ala 1993, look for a bigger or same style system end of the week again.
