What happened

The episode as NWS OKX wrote it up.

As a cold high pressure system settled over New England, a series of low pressure systems developed off the Mid Atlantic Coast during Friday, December 5th and Saturday, December 6th.The first low pressure system developed along the North Carolina Coast during Friday morning. As this low moved northeast, it intensified. Light snow developed and quickly spread northeast across the area during the morning. Snowfall became heavy across the NYC Metro Area, Long Island, and Southern Westchester County during the afternoon. Between 7 and 10 pm that evening, a 6 to 10 inch snowfall occurred across this area. There were major impacts to mass transit operations during the evening's "rush" hours. As this low moved southeast of Long Island, snowfall intensity decreased and became light across the region.The second low pressure system developed further north and west along the DELMARVA Coast during Saturday morning. As this low rapidly intensified, it moved slowly northeast. Light snow became heavy across the entire region by early afternoon. Blizzard conditions developed from Queens County east across Suffolk County between 1 pm and 6 pm. Wind gusts of at least 35 mph combined with heavy falling snow created "white out" conditions that reduced visibility to less than 1/4 mile. Major widespread impacts to mass transit occurred across the entire region.Storm Total Snowfall amounts for this 2 day episode ranged from 6 to 25 inches. Most snowfall accumulations were between 10 and 15 inches. Here are selected snowfall amounts for:New York County - from 14.0 inches at Central Park Zoo to 17.8 inches at Bryant Park.Bronx County - 15.9 inches was measured at ParkchesterQueens County - from 11 inches at Richmond Hill to 13.1 inches at LaGuardia Airport.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY
440 PM EST FRI DEC 5 2003

.DISCUSSION

CURRENTLY...INITIAL SHOT OF SNOW...HAS MOVED ACROSS MUCH OF THE
AREA...AND THANKS TO HEAVY BURST WITH SIGNIFICANT DENDRITE GROWTH
AND POSSIBLY CSI BANDING. THIS HAS RESULTED IN SNOW ACCUMULATIONS
OF...AS MUCH AS 4 TO 5 INCHES IN NYC AND LONG ISLAND. TEMPERATURES
DROPPED STEADILY THROUGH THE DAY TODAY AS DRIER AIR NEAR THE SURFACE
FILTERED DOWN FROM SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  THIS ALLOWED FOR
EVAPORATIVE COOLING IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER AS THE FIRST FLAKES BEGAN
TO FLY. AS A RESULT...TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE REGION ARE IN THE MID
TO UPPER 20S. IN FACT...THERE IS FURTHER ROOM FOR COOLING ACROSS
SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT AND THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY AS SURFACE DEW
POINTS HERE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE SINGLE DIGITS. AS FOR WINDS...THEY
HAVE NOT PICKED UP YET INLAND AND NORTH AND WEST...WHERE MAGNITUDES
ARE STILL GENERALLY LESS THAN 10 KTS. HOWEVER...NEAR THE COAST WINDS
HAVE ALREADY STARTED TO CREEP UPWARD...AND ARE NOW AROUND 15
KNOTS...WITH GUSTS CLOSE TO 25 KTS.

.SHORT-TERM...VERY TRICKY FORECAST...AS TYPICALLY IS THE CASE THIS
TIME OF YEAR DUE TO THE WARM MARINE AIR VERY CLOSE BY. THE FIRST LOW
OF THE DELMARVA WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY TONIGHT...AS A
SECONDARY LOW MOVES EAST-SOUTHEAST FROM OHIO. ONCE THIS SECOND LOW
REACHES THE DELMARVA...IT WILL OVERTAKE THE FIRST...AND BEGIN TO
STRENGTHEN AS IT STARTS TO TRACK NORTHEAST ON SAT. IT SHOULD TRACK
TO OUR SOUTH AND EAST...MOVING TO JUST SOUTHEAST OF CAPE COD
SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS IS A COLD TRACK FOR OUR AREA...AND AS SUCH THE
BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL FALL AS SNOW. MODELS INDICATE THAT
DRY AIR WILL WRAP AROUND THE INITIAL LOW TONIGHT...DRYING THE LAYER
ABOVE 700 HPA. THEY HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT WITH THIS...SO REALLY DO
NOT HAVE MUCH OF A REASON TO DISCOUNT IT FOR NOW. WE WILL BE ABLE TO
GATHER A BETTER READ OF THIS FEATURE AFTER THE 06/00Z RAOB
OBSERVATIONS THIS EVENING. THE REASON WHY THIS IS SO IMPORTANT...IS
THAT IF THIS VERIFIES...THEN DROPLET FORMATION WILL OCCUR TOO LOW
(IN THIS CASE) AND IN TOO WARM A LAYER FOR ICE PARTICLES TO FORM.
THE TOP OF THE SATURATED LAYER IS EXPECTED TO DROP TO AROUND -5 DEG
C THIS EVENING...MUCH WARMER THAN THE -12 TO -18 DEG C PREFERRED
TEMPERATURES. THE RESULT IS...THAT EVEN THOUGH THE VERTICAL
TEMPERATURE PROFILE REMAINS BELOW FREEZING...WE WILL NOT SEE SNOW.
GENERALLY EXPECT THIS TO OCCUR ACROSS LONG ISLAND AND NYC...AS WELL
AS COASTAL SOUTHEAST CT. IN ADDITION...MOST OF THESE SAME AREAS WILL
ALSO BE ON THE NORTHWESTERN FRINGE OF WARMER MARINE AIRMASS THAT
WILL WARM SURFACE TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES ABOVE FREEZING...
ESPECIALLY ACROSS EASTERN LONG ISLAND. THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD ALSO
LIGHTEN FOR ABOUT A 10 TO 12 HOUR PERIOD TONIGHT INTO EARLY
SATURDAY...BEFORE THE SECOND STARTS TO DEEPEN.

AS THE SECOND LOW STARTS TO TRACK SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND ON SAT...WE
WILL START TO SEE HEAVIER PRECIPITATION START TO RE-DEVELOP ACROSS
THE REGION. THIS WILL ALSO COINCIDE WITH A WIND SHIFT BACK TO THE
NORTH WHICH WILL COOL THE VERTICAL TEMPERATURE PROFILE...AND USHER
IN A CHANGE BACK TO ALL SNOW...FOR THE ENTIRE REGION DURING SATURDAY
MORNING AND MIDDAY.

FORECAST AMOUNTS WITH THIS PACKAGE WILL BE MUCH GREATER THAN THE
PREVIOUS FORECAST. WILL DECLINE TO MENTION EXACT AMOUNTS RIGHT
NOW...AS THIS PROCESS CONTINUES TO BE UPDATED DUE TO CURRENT
ACCUMULATIONS. HOWEVER...UPWARDS OF A FOOT WILL BE LIKELY ACROSS
MOST OF THE TRI-STATE REGION.

MID-RANGE...MINIMAL CHANGES MADE FOR THIS PERIOD. LOW PRESSURE MOVES
OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST...AND IN ITS WAKE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
IN FROM THE WEST. HEIGHT RISES WILL OCCUR OVER THE NORTHEAST FOR THE
FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK...BUT THEN ANOTHER LONG WAVE TROUGH WILL DIG
ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS LATE TUE INTO WED. THIS LOOKS TO BE PRETTY
PROGRESSIVE AND WILL APPROACH THE EAST COAST ON WED...BRINGING THE
THREAT OF PRECIPITATION BACK INTO THE FORECAST.

&&

.MARINE...STORM WARNING POSTED FOR LI SOUND AND OCEAN WATERS...WITH
GALE WARNING FOR THE HARBOR. COASTAL FLOOD WARNING ALSO ISSUED FOR
PARTS OF THE AREA...PLEASE SEE NYCCFWOKX FOR DETAILS. STORM WARNING
BASED ON FREQUENT GUSTS OVER 47 KT FOR SAT THRU SUN.

&&

.AVIATION...HEAVY SNOW WITH LIFR CIGS AND VIS...OCCASIONAL VLIFR...
HAS OVERSPREAD THE NY/NJ METRO AREA...LONG ISLAND...AND COASTAL
CONNECTICUT. THESE CONDITIONS WILL SLOWLY SPREAD N OVER KSWF BY
22Z. TEMPERATURES OVER THE LAST 3 HOURS HAVE TRENDED INTO THE MID TO
UPPER 20S ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA...WHICH SHOULD HOLD PRECIPITATION
AS SNOW THROUGH AT LEAST 00Z. AFTER 00-02Z...THE LONG ISLAND AND
METRO NY/NJ AIRPORTS MAY EXPERIENCE A MIXING IN OF SLEET...AS
PRECIPITATION LIGHTENS...AND DRYING IN THE MID-LEVELS SUPPRESSES THE
BULK OF LIFT AND MOISTURE AT LEVELS WARMER THAN -10 TO -16C.  THIS
WILL NOT SUPPORT GOOD SNOW GROWTH...BUT INSTEAD SLEET AND FREEZING
RAIN WITH A BELOW FREEZING COLUMN TO THE SURFACE. CONDITIONS MAY
COME UP TO LOW MVFR IN THE OVERNIGHT LULL ALONG ACROSS LONG ISLAND
AND THE NY/NJ METRO AREA. THE SECOND AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL GET
GOING THROUGH THE MORNING TOMORROW...WITH STRONG
DEFORMATION...INCREASING MID-LEVEL MOISTURE...AND THE VERTICAL
REMAINING WELL BELOW FREEZING. EXPECT CIGS AND VIS TO COME DOWN TO
LIFR/VLIFR AGAIN FROM LATE MORNING INTO SATURDAY NIGHT...WITH SNOW
HEAVY AT TIMES.  WINDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE AS WELL TOMORROW WITH
SUSTAINED WINDS AROUND 25 TO 30 KT AND GUSTS TO 40KT FROM THE EARLY
MORNING ON...CAUSING BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION EVENT ON-GOING...WITH THE
MAJORITY OF THE QPF OCCURRING SAT INTO SAT EVENING. HOWEVER...WITH
THE BULK OF THIS FALLING AS SNOW...IMPACT ON AREA RIVERS AND STREAMS
WILL BE MINIMAL.
