Your averages are higher ..so even when it’s just near average there….it’s pretty snowy. But I hear ya. It’s been more SNE centric for sure.

It’s NYc. Winter ended there a month ago.

A crop of baby bunnies will appear in your yard soon.

Except NNE

Not this year. NYC shared in the wealth. Like the cape too. Good year for all.

Have you gone through the old box saved map and text archives to make sure you didn’t miss any?

Usually from 1/1-1/15

He’s had a very good year there. No complaints from him on this year.

Maybe we actually get an anafront to work out for us, lol

Winter is the shortest month of the year in NYC.

Lots of flukes for you this season…be careful.

Was a fluke

Why is a poster from the NYC subforum here linking to their thread to grade the winter? Don't we usually do our own thread AFTER winter is completely over?

I think it’s cool that I have a cop in NYC that tracks snow for me right into May for free.

Well in his defense, that timeframe has been flagged by others too…Will being one of them. So he’s just posting what it shows. I think we all know the caveats.

You said this before the Feb storm for his area too..and he did well.

Winter is over there.

I am actually using 2 12k btu high efficiency mini splits. 1 floor console upstairs 1 wall unit downstairs. Works great for my open 1800 sqft split level that is very well insulated and air sealed. These things operate at just stunning efficiencies at low speed. They can run as low as like 100-200 watts at their minimum with the compressor on. I literally never turn them off and they just run low and slow all day. They were rated 30.5 SEER 14 HSPF which was like double any other heat pump available at the time. I have been monitoring my solar/electricty consumption including my heat pumps for almost 10 years. My average winter usage has been around 2500 kwh for Oct-Mar heating usage. Its been steadily around.5-.75 kwh per HDD. So last month BDR had 1000 HDD and it was crazy cold and I used 644 kwh for heat. So .64 kwh per HDD but often much lower in mild months. This is almost all powered from solar. Ive run short around 500-1000 kwh a few winters due to clouds. Even if I had to buy the electricity at CT's crazy high rates last month would have cost me 644 kwh x .33 it would have cost me $212 to heat my house. The one big benefit with electricity for heat pumps in the winter people often overlook is the stable electricity fuel price. Electricity in almost every market is adjusted twice a year for summer/winter. So your fuel cost doesn't skyrocket over night like the now nearly $5 a gallon heating oil. Electricity prices actually went down here at the winter rate change and doesn't adjust untill June 1st.

Salisbury NC. A- 3 snow events 2nd event was 1-2" of snow and ice while 15 degrees during the day 3rd event was 14" of snow while 17 degrees during the day 3 degrees low on feb 2nd 17 days snow on the ground consecutively What would have made it an A would have been a cold christmas. Was 77 degrees christmas day

You know the season has changed when Metfan is back to resorting to 300hr storms on the CMC ensembles.

Seems like the only time it's 100% sunny at this time of year is after an arctic front comes through, so you have to put up with bitter winds to get the sun. So cold and raw, during my walk to the supermarket my hands were aching and burning after 20 minutes (I thought I could manage without gloves, because it makes it a lot easier to read on my phone). And it doesn't feel like the front is going to lift north any time soon. If I could afford it, I'd spend every February through June in Phoenix or Tucson. IMO April in Arizona is the perfect climate: upper 50s at sunrise so it's cool enough to walk to the grocery store without overheating. Dewpoints in the teens and twenties making the 90-degree afternoons pleasantly cool in the shade and pleasantly warm in the sun. I could leave my windows open 24-7. Not a drop of rain all month. Not a cloud in the sky all month!

Oh of course. But that timeframe has been lighting up on different models, with a wintry look on quite a few occasions…there’s a signal there. But ya..still definitely clown range.

Lol it did…but being in clown range the only takeaway was that it keeps showing up in slightly different forms, and on slightly different days(16-19), and on different models. That’s all we want to see at this juncture. We’ll see how it looks after the warm up.

That storm is over 10 days out. Equal chances of out to sea or a fropa.

Word is Nnamdi Madubuike is back working out. Man if he is healthy and playing this coming season..
