We got boned here in Jan 22…lousy storm in that one here. This was much more precip than that Jan ‘22 for my area. But I understand what you mean for a lot of places.

The storms from DC to Philly in January weren’t that impressive compared to what they used to get in the past. Suppression was still at play even in northern sections of those areas. My area in February was wet but only the weaker storms were cold enough for some snows. The strongest storm had highs near 60° and heavy rain. We can refer to luck as a one-off or random event. But the continuation of the cutter, hugger, and suppressed Southern Stream storm tracks with the much faster Northern stream of Pacific Jet since 18-19 is a dominant weather pattern that doesn’t involve luck.

This is actually pretty similar to the January 2022 event in terms of QPF distribution...same haves and have nots.

This storm is more of a annoyance than anything else. No real beneficial rain will come out of this three day event. Tons of drizzle. That's really got to irk drought guy...

Much needed rain, regardless...but glad this one was a practice run.

I’m not home but looks like close to 2”. Looks like CJ in progress.

It's CNN so tfwiw but .. https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/13/climate/tipping-points-coral-reef-ice-amoc

It's too soon to tell. Last winter's miss was unusually large. One can probably use a +/- 1°C range to consider reasonable possibilities.

Just great to have a decent storm with wind and 15 foot seas. Some good gusts overnight

You would be looking at 12 to 20 with 6 foot drifts. Would have been a keeper

Starting with April every month has been below normal in precipitation at GRR including this month so far. The deficit starting with April is not as bad as some places but still a hefty 8.07" below normal since April 1.

Weekend summary: 0.08" Sat, 0.09" Sun. Add in the 0.01 overnight, and let's call it 0.18" total Mist and drizzle this morning.

DC and Baltimore had some good snowstorms in January. That hasn't happened in a long time. Even Philly got a good storm in on 1/19 (otherwise we have a different Super Bowl winner because the Rams probably win that day). While December was wet, February was not. At least in my area. It really didn't turn wet until 3/5, and by that time, temps had turned above average and winter was pretty much over. But there was a good storm track on 2/20. It just went too far east, and places like Norfolk and Virginia Beach got a major snow event. I chalk up 2024-25 as just bad luck for NYC. I mean, you had major snow events in places like Baltimore, DC, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach. It's been a long time since that happened.

1.5” here so far…a good drink for sure. It would have been a good winter storm-nothing top tier, but solid for sure.

Yea, it's going to be raining the majority of the day, but not going to add up to much outside of CJ land and the higher terrain. Very banded, and the bands will favor said areas.

I think it’ll pick up a little there in the coming hours. Nothing crazy, just a soggy appeal.

.50” breezy but no real gusts out here.

The one small piece of good news regarding all the tree damage starting with the March 2010 nor’easter is that many of the weaker trees are no longer around. Residents and power companies have been very proactive removing older damaged trees rather than waiting for another storm to blow them down. The landscape in a place like Long Beach is completely different due to them losing all their sycamores with the salt water damage in Sandy.
