Been out of town...still felt I was in White Plains, reading what is new in CitizeNetReporter. Election Results, daily news, and especially with your detailed reporting of the new Cappelli design. Site is indeed timely, newsworthy and great. Thanks for keeping me informed. Fantastic job.

WPCNR MAIN STREET JOURNAL. By John F. Bailey. December 26, 2002: Weather forecasters at the National Weather Service were "high-fiving" each other and "chest-bumping" at Weather Central,Chistmas Day eve and spraying champagne around their radar screens, celebrating "Their Perfect Forecast" of a snowy Nor'easter. The Christmas Day snow dumped big time white on New York State Connecticut and good old White Plains, and was a perfect call by the "Weather Worriers."
COMBINATION OF WET SNOW AND DOWNED TREES produced great snowpersons on the day after Christmas, and a lot of plowing. City of White Plains DPW trucks were sanding icy streets by midafternoon. A DPW spokesperson asked city residents' patience as the feeder streets were being freed from the white blanket. Motorists venturing into the downtown reported streets passable.

TREES AND HEDGES WERE BOUGH-HEAVY by the wet and heavy snow, causing branches to snap. Flat, openfield measurements by WPCNR indicates an 11-inch snowfall blanketed White Plains Christmas Day and evening.

SNOW BEGAN AS SLEET at about noon on Christmas Day, and turned into snow about 2:30 PM in the White Plains area, as the Weather Service predicted, and continued to midnight. An overturned car at Exit 8 on I-287 backed up traffic into Connecticut. Here Larry Shapiro clears out his sidewalk in Montclair, New Jersey, at 8:30 PM where WPCNR spent Christmas Day. Snow was lighter on the Jersey side of the Hudson.

The weather bureau called this storm very accurately as to timing and storm sequence. Precipitation started at midnight Christmas Day in the form of snow, turned to rain, then sleet at noon, changing to all snow by midafternoon.
