Negative NAO helped us big time this winter.

My long term average is the same. 50-55"

ICON moved a little closer to us just now at 18z. I'm sure this will go from an amped low around 998-1000mb into some open wave with 36 degree snow tv.

If it wasn't for the PV disruption in November and the negative NAO , the east would have had another bad winter. Those two saved the winter.

Relentless here in Scituate!

The 20" at BDR is exactly right to me in Stratford. Whoever took over their measurements in the last few years is worlds better than the clowns of the past. Thrilled for the MA and RI crowd. Epic stuff! Nothing will beat Feb 2013 here where I had the honor of 36", and I love seeing others get to enjoy the same feeling.

La ninas can be warm in February, too. Just look at February 2012, 2017, 2018, and 2023.

Getting nice heavy squall now. Over running is nice but in general doesn't have the other dynamic effects. There's some I'm guessing 30-40 million plus people covering 7 states who saw very intense snow from this bombogenesis coastal. Extremely large area of 15 to 36 inches of snow. Yeah, always tough to nail the western edges of these storms and some get screwed by subsidence but they get pretty frequently, they pretty much eventually even out. One of the downfalls living here is not getting in on these kind of long duration intense snows other than once or twice in a lifetime. Some of the bombogenesis storms of the last 40+ years. February 18–19, 1979 (Presidents’ Day Storm) The Megalopolitan Blizzard of 1983 The Storm of the Century, 1993 The Blizzard of 1996 The Presidents Day Storm of 2003 Snowmageddon, 2010 Feb 5-6, Feb 9-10 The Christmas Blizzard of 2010 Winter Storm Jonas, 2016 The Bomb Cyclone of 2018 Feb 22-23 Storm These below weren’t as widespread. NY city doesn’t get as much snow as surrounding areas but can see how frequent they get 12+ storms in last 20 years. The North American Storm Complex of 2006: This complex storm system, which affected the Eastern United States in December 2006, dumped around 14 inches of snow on New York City. The Winter Storm of 2011: This powerful nor’easter, which hit the city in December 2011, dumped around 13 inches of snow on the city. The Winter Storm of 2015: This storm, which hit the city in January 2015, dumped around 13 inches of snow on the city. The Winter Storm of 2017: This storm, which hit the city in March 2017, dumped around 12 inches of snow on the city. The Winter Storm of 2018: This storm, which hit the city in January 2018, dumped around 12 inches of snow on the city.

Buddy decided to ride this out beachfront in Sea Isle. Gonna be fun to dig those two out.

It’s like cement. Snowblower really struggling

School staff and parents are pissed that the mayor is opening schools tomorrow. Many put out a petition for people to sign. Even some members of the NYC council sent letters to the Mayors office to tell him to close the schools. My wife also just told me that alot of teachers called out where she works.

Yall really need to use the Storm Tracker Index. (STI). Hmm. Maybe need to rethink that. But anyway. I’ve never missed a big one when I’ve traveled. If I’m in town, get your beers, groceries and snowblowers tuned and ready. If I’m out of town, turn it down. Really gotta work on acronyms and slogans.

I knew this winter was going to be good when the warmth kept getting pushed back . I do think March starts out cold with a PV disruption but winter should end quickly in March.

I'm an advocate for a thread for every event and even this one is really sketchy for me, lol. Some of the hi-res have moved a little flizzard in on Wednesday as has been noted. Think that's the best shot at flakes the remainder of the week, personally. Unless you live in PA.

Let’s get a Pineapple Express of cutters dropping 2-5” (Wes Fri Sat) then a bigger coastal or two in the next few weeks. Pattern is ripe and we don’t have many weeks of winter left

Lol I have a depth of 12-18"

How powdery is the snow there? That’s obviously gonna be the big difference for some areas.

I'd guess 10 inches. Hard to tell with all the drifting going on. Spots on my driveway were bare and other spots were 24+.

imagine if we could throw a few more events on top for the areas that got creamed today.

Does anyone have a reliable radar loop of the entire storm? I find the COD radars show differing echos for Western Long Island when using the DIX versus OKX radars. They are usually reliable but were not so accurate this morning when showing decent echos but little snow failing at those times. Would be interested in an loop of the entire NYC metro to explain the North Shore Long Island amounts being 5-10 inches lower than the rest of the Island.

You sometimes get criticized for being so optimistic all the time, but your optimism certainly worked out this winter. A great job by you.

It’s going to be days to dig out here.

Yes...

well that got me just a few inches away from climo avg on 2/23, let's keep this train rolling...and to think we left a couple storms on the table, and this one could have been better if we'd gotten in on that big band, after the initial 4" last night, most of the total came from about 3am to noon, and a few of those hours was visibility in feet, I'm happy, but my back is rocking... time to chill now and await the week, see how that plays out.

I was just telling my wife how I’m jealous of the event for eastern areas, but not really the aftermath. It’s gonna be a tough week for areas that got 20”-30”.
