We got just enough snow here in Queens this Christmas Eve for the neighborhood kids to go sleigh riding up at Juniper Valley Park.

Getting another dusting to a half inch of snow on Christmas Eve here in Queens, NY. Radar Trends show the snow will be winding down shortly however, but at least we will officially have a white Christmas!

The general consensus on the short range models are for about a half inch of snow for the NYC area tomorrow morning. I wouldn't mind at all a nice dusting of snow on Christmas Eve.

First snow of the season here in NYC. We could see some light accumulations late tonight and tomorrow morning after the arctic front moves through. Perhaps a trace to an inch in spots. Then the Arctic blast moves in for the weekend!

A cold pattern is setting up for at least the early part of December here in NYC. Hoping for some scenes like these this winter! Taken a day after our huge day after Christmas #Blizzard in 2010!

This thick smell of wildfire smoke from multiple fires ongoing in both NY and New Jersey is back in Queens, NY this afternoon. You can even see it in the air today.

From Summer 2009 right out in front of my place here in Queens, NY! Still to this day the best #Mammatus display I've witnessed here in NYC. Taken right at sunset. Note the plane flying underneath the base. Imagine the view they had!

Up here at Dave Lewison's place to reinstall the heated wiper blades on my Xterra for any and all winter weather chases! These blades heat up to over 200° when activated so ice and snow does not stick to them. We have a toggle switch installed that we can flip on and off.

#weatherpicofday What an amazing storm this was. Taken near La Grange, WY on June 5th, 2009. Dave Lewison and I were just coming out for our annual chase trip and didn't make it in time to see the tornado that touched about 45 min prior. But a great way regardless to begin our 2009 chase trip.

Happy Halloween everyone! Going through some of my storm photos today and came across this one from May 27, 2015 near Canadian, TX. This #tornado barely moved and gave us quite the view for a good 20min. #supercell

To this day, some of the best storm structure that I have seen personally. From May 26th, 2013 in Nebraska. This LP put on quite the lightning show for us around sundown! #supercell #weatherpicofday

I took this picture in June 2007 near McCook, NE and didn't see the horse in the shot until I returned home to NYC and processed the images. Shot on a Nikon D70 with a 10sec exposure.
