Yes I know this was supposed to be rain and now maybe some
N and W areas may see some
Frozen BUT doesn’t this just show 1-3” for the majority of our board at most? If so why the excitement?

Yes, but there would also be sleet too. Secondly, it would verify my forecast haha

Still very intrigued for tomorrow and tomorrow night with the upper level low passing to our South while temperatures are marginal at best I think if there is enough lift and heavy precipitation will see some form of Frozen precip as that should cool the column enough. we also have the CCb on the backside of this low nam continues to look good

Rain and sleet mixing in. Higher elevations of the Catskills and Poconos May see 1-2”. Total non-event for 99% of this forum. It’s coming up on late December. Very disappointing start to this “ epic” winter pattern. Yes I know it’s still early but I post facts

This may turn out to be a mix fest for N&W of NYC with snows in the higher elevations.
TJay pro met posted a skew T diagram that shows this inversion in the atmosphere pointing towards this. If this were to occur Monday mornings commute would be bad.

Here is the skew t - circled area shows the freezing rain

Burst of snow, and maybe a few inches, possible N&W of NYC tomorrow night

Self imposed 1 week ban for mental health reasons for me. I’ll check back Friday.

And here come the advisories

GEFS look pretty good

AND HERE COMES THE EURO

Doesn't impact me or e en work which is around 287 where often it can snow bit. Ore than here so I'm done. If it ices which by looks of that snow map its all rain for southern Westchester than I could see a delay min if it ices but looking imprOBABLE.

Light to moderate snow/sleet/ice accumulations and/or accretion as far south as I-80 and as Far East as I-95 with corresponding advisories has been my call, and I see no reason to change that. This was a HUGE step in that direction and darn near matches it as is, but think we can get an earlier transition by 1-3 hours yet, which is the wild card right now for southern and eastern zones of my outlines region. Don’t sleep on it, Jman.

Heavy rain at 36. Just yucky

Yup this is definitely colder than most modeling. Just drove from Fishkill, NY to Greentown, PA after work and drove through snain the whole way. Then when I climbed to the Pocono Plateau we have freezing snain up here. Really interesting; can’t say I’ve ever experienced this before lol

LOL, freezing snain love it! Brings back to me and old song "the snain in Spain stays mainly in the Plain",LOL.How are things in Greentown rb?I get off that exit on 84 and pass Frank's Family Restaurant to get to Wallenpaupack to my old Frat Pal's house these past 43 years.I think it's Route 507 or 502.

Here just plain rain, 35 degrees.

Moderate to occasionally heavy rain, 38°, some gusty winds as well- Santa is supposed to make his rounds today on the fire truck... horrible

Heavy rain 35 degrees WHOOPEEEEE!
NOT!!!

December is not looking snowy now

Here I am about 20 miles northwest of Doc and at 33 degrees. I have a bit of sleet out here.

Right now things are icy haha and yeah, it’s 507!! But did you mean John’s; the Italian restaurant right off 84?

Give it time, buddy

And I have a window open an inch to listen to the rain falling before everyone is up. Peaceful.

Yes, rb, JOHN'S, my bad!!!! My wife and I had breakfast there last October on the way to my Pal's daughters wedding on the Lake further up on 507.That spot right around John's is where time has stood still,LOL.Looks exactly like the first time I passed through there in 1975.

Heavy rain still here.Radar looks kind of ragged behind it.

up to .77" of rain, 37°. Feel bad for my son who is going to the Giants game. just ick!
