Just got home, got .92” so we will take that! My lawn might bounce back

The misses today was very strategic. It took a certain set of hands to be able to control it with such precision.

This is what rain looks like Brian.

The north fork getting lit up good on radar!

Impressive temp drop from the rain. 74 down to 60.

Typical

The east end getting slammed of course. They’re like the South Jersey of Long Island, it doesn’t make meteorological sense to me. It’s so dry here my Rosemary is wilting.

Dumping

In it

Storms training and backbuilding all around, but only managed 4 minutes of moderate to heavy rain here.

Much needed drink. 0.74" Sent from my SM-S921U using Tapatalk

Crushed at work only .12 at home but incoming

For NYC I would say yes. Since NYC needs a winter average temperature close to 32° for their 50”+ seasons plus a cold storm track. The last time NYC was able to pull this off was back in 2014-2014. Even during the more recent snowy seasons since then, they couldn’t make it to that level since it was too warm for a 50” season.

0.54” will likely be it for the month

Might reach 0.05". The many yellow-to-red patches danced around our place without ever getting here.

Not a drop. Not a single drop

It does not want to precipitate when its cold now. I don't know why that is the case. The pattern as he said for the last 7 years has been that it's either warm and very wet or cold and dry.

Actual water droplets falling from the sky!

Looks like some broad rotation with the cell over Killingly Ct

20-21 was ok. 19-20 terrible.

so you think that we're going to need a major volcanic eruption to see a 50"+ snowfall winter in NYC? I find that hard to believe given how much more moisture is available when cold air is around. seems like a bit of a stretch

No severe but a great drink. Wettest week in a month confirmed. Grass looking its best since early may

For the I-95 corridor from DC to Boston this has been the lowest 7 year snowfall stretch ending in 2025 that these areas have ever seen. The main difference between this one and past snow droughts has been this time it has been warmth holding back the snowfall. Past 7 year stretches with much lower snowfall were mostly the result of drier patterns since they occurred back in much colder climate eras relative to the last decade. This time we have been getting warm storm tracks too far north and warm winter background patterns. NYC and Boston just surpassed the 1986 to 1992 snow droughts That era was much colder than the current 2019 to 2025 period. Plus we got the historic 1993-1994 and 1995-1996 seasons ending the snow drought. Our climate has warmed significantly since then making a repeat of those two historic winters unlikely. So it’s going to take an historic volcanic eruption not seen in hundreds or thousands of years in order to cool the climate enough for maybe 2-7 years before the effects wear off and the warmth rebounds. Unfortunately, we don’t have the current technology to make a reliable long range volcanic eruption forecast. So my long range out look outlook from DC to Boston contains several scenarios. The scenarios aren’t necessarily listed in order of probability. Just what each scenario would entail. #1….Lower snowfall regime continues similar to the last 7 seasons through the remainder of the 2020s. #2…Small bounce off 7 year lows through the remainder of the 2020s with slightly higher snowfall during one of more of the next 5 seasons. #3 …historic volcanic event not seen since early 1800s or even before that era dramatically cools the planet for 2 to perhaps 7 years before temperatures resume rise again. This scenario has very low predictability. And could lead to much colder and perhaps snowier winters for a time. Boston to DC record low snowfall last 7 season average from 2018-2019 to 2024-2025 and previous record 7 year lows Boston…2025…26.6”…….1992….29.9” NYC…….2025….14.9”…….1992…..16.3” Philly…...2025….10.5”…….1933…..12.5” DC…….…2025….8.5”…….1995…..10.1”

The 22 blizzard was all time, but it’s literally been like 6-7 years minus that. It’s been tough. I guess we are paying and then some for 2013 and 2015

Just got grazed by a light t shower .14.. barely wet down the dust
