There is something up with the December 5th time frame. Every year over the past couple of years there has always been a hint of snow falling during this time frame across southern New England.
Take New York City for example. In 2003, eight inches of fresh snow fell on this date. Little snow fell in 2005 with a trace amount of snow accumulation. 0.3 inches of snow fell in 2007. Snow storms do like this time period for whatever reason.
I know the above picture is a bit dramatic for today’s snow. The amount of snow expected to fall across the entire region will be nowhere close to the amount in the picture.
Please check often because I will be periodically updating the website with weather updates on the storm. Please send me snow fall accumulation amounts and snow reports by leaving a comment or contacting me through the contact form.
