December 1st-2nd Winter Storm Observations

Snowing nicely here. Windy too

Coming down nice in Western Suffolk also and windy!! Looks like LI is going to get a nice little bit. Looks like some decent bands will continue rotating thru from CT

Yea cp The map needs updates, I now live in Saugerties NY in Ulster County.

It has been snowing here again but really hoping that these bands come through here. Where are they now?

Assuming it had at least 0.4" of snow after 8 PM, this will go in the top 20 in Albany's biggest snowstorms, and would be the biggest snowstorm for Albany since 2003.

I think you need to get to 20 inches to get in their top 5 December storms of all time.

Quite an accomplishment in your first meteorlogical winter month there.

On NWS ALB's website, here are the top 10 December snowstorms:



And here are the top 20 all-time snowstorms:



Note that there is a big difference between #1 and #2 on the all-time list.

light snow in Hempstead,grass and car covered about a dusting so far

Well that was the Blizzard of 1888 Mike. Four feet of snow from one storm is a rarity anywhere, and of course most places in the world never see anything close.

anyone know why almost half of sussex county NJ is without power?

Nice.

Between you, Hyde, Doc, Damian and several others we've got most areas of the Mid & LHV now covered.

They've had over a foot of heavy wet snow which preceded the ice and sleet from yesterday

Yes cp we have a very good coverage of weather nuts, let's hope this is just the beginning of a great snowy winter for all. We're off to a good start.

We have 7 inches in Stillwater at 1190 feet altitude, but under that is 1/2 to 3/4 ice and Trees and Branches are just falling left and right!

There are heavy bands in Albany and just S that are heading SW
Let's see how they hold up and have far S they get. Could be the Energizer bunny by just reloading the moisture.
Could be some surprises in store for some.

My dilemma:

I now live in Morris Plains where a little over 4 maybe 5 inches of snow has fallen. Everything has been plowed but it looks like another few inches could fall overnight.

Meanwhile where I work in Hackettstown it’s snowing steadily. They could get a good accumulation overnight. To work from home or go in...hmmm

Coming down hard roads finally have a coating winds howling. Now I only wish i had this all day!! Hopefully it keeps up and we can get at least a few inches. Night all.

Mugs, just got in from ambulance duty a little while ago, getting much better stickage now that we got the temps right! Maybe we can squeak out another 2-3" with those bands. Looks like we will have snow until 2 am. Late to the party is better than never!

Looks like precip is going to last all night maybe even into tomorrow especially nyc on east. At least I'm getting something now.

Here in Albany, the past several hours have featured a big band of snow just sitting over me. When all is said and done, widespread 20-25" snow totals could be expected here in the tri-city region (which is the term given for Albany-Troy-Schenectady)

12.0 inches on the ground and about half of that after sunset tonight.


Looks like snow is Finally done here. When this first started I said I’d be satisfied with 6-8 and ecstatic with a foot. As late as late this afternoon I never thought I’d get anything close to a foot. Label me ecstatic.
