No. We have 9 months out of the year to be warm.

Absolutely makes sense...the early January -NAO was always puzzling to me and never fit with my expectation. There has been a pretty strong correlation between -NAO/-PNA and +NAO/PNA for the past 20 years or so, which what I expected to bare out with the emergence of +PNA and a strengthening PV that would culminate in an episode of +TNH beyond mid-month. The corrections warmer better align with my preseason throughs, as well.

looks like you got a foot from the jan 2-3 blizzard but just missed the 20-24" big dog numbers in Haverhill and Boxford. still a huge event regardless the jan 21-22 was a coastal SNE special and maybe 4-6 on Jan 18th

prove it

This morning's snow squall brought Central Park its first measurable snowfall on New Year's Day since 1987. All amounts are preliminary and the final amounts at some of the locations could be higher.

where did you get the BDR report? The CLI aren't out yet, i was looking to get them early today.

This is a great point ... General reader: perspectives seem to be biased at the scalar extremes, which escapes better representation of the total reality - or risks doing so. But in here, in this social media engagement, the collective memory or impression ( if either of these even matter HAHA), are often then wrong when 2 or 5 years down the road and people are siting them to make their x-y-z comparisons. I don't know how/what the numbers are in reality but, suppose we get 52/40 some 10 days in a row, and it ends up pushing January into the top 5 butt-bonedest January's of all time. But, next year it's 72 for two days.... guaranteed that's the bigger of the two. Wrong!

It was okay...nothing memorable for me.

Glad to read the reports of the squall! Currently 9 degrees and a bluebird day with 8-9” of fresh powder. Happy 2026 yall!

I am absolutely, positively and desperately seeking an avenue out of clipper-hell. I don't even care if it's a torch...anything but the constant barrage of cold with 1-2" every week with a 2" pack of crust.

Somehow BDR reported .02. Even central park had 0.5. That has to be an undermeasure.

I see our resident nonsense generator is running full tilt to kick off the new year.

yep. fundamental diff eq.

I think that area got 3” from the squalls

I'll take the +PNA though as it can be a harder pattern to dislodge. My concern with a -EPO and just a neutral or slightly -PNA would be that the EPO ridge retrogrades by late month and its a raging SER in February. Many analogs suggest that anyway but if you can establish a +1 or 2 PNA that sometimes is a much more difficult setup to just flip out of, you could probably carry this change into the first 2 weeks of February if that happened. Otherwise we might just be seeing a 1/15-1/27 flip and that might pretty much be all after that til late February or early March.

For just East Nantmeal 30.4 average temp which was 5.9 degrees below normal. Will compile all stations and year later today. Happy New Year Paul

Yeah 1/8th probably wasn't the peak. Closer to whiteout for a while, agreed

I often wondered if the overall setup/blocking of early Feb 2010 would've normally screwed SNE as badly as it did, or if it was just bad luck. Like if that exact setup happened again, with the same teleconnections and strength and position of the block, but without that squall event or some other rogue feature creating extra confluence, I imagine SNE would've done pretty well and gotten at least a MECS.

Conditions in Barnstable were whiteout there for 30 min. Visibility < 100 yards.

right next to Sturbridge from Staffordville 4.3 - Holland 4.8" - Sturbridge 4.5" that tight cluster of reports all line up so gives credit to that staffordville CT report

1/1: 1.0 Total: 5.5 wasn't quite an inch but it was more than .5. Since we had a couple other dustings that produced a few tenths that I didn't record I'm calling this one an inch

With great power comes great responsibility!

4.8" in Holland cocorahs MA-HD-67

4.8” official out of this event - so call it about 8.5” over the past 2+ days.

Central Park: 0.5" LGA: T JFK: 0.4" EWR: 0.7" Upton NWS: 1.4" Bridgeport: 0.2"
