The EPS has been just as inconsistent as the gfs has been.

yeah I don't think i've ever seen that. Growing up in VA, I went to city schools but was in governor's school in HS for half the day, which was subject to the surrounding county schedule (and Augusta county has some folks living upwards of 4,000' as some folks on here can attest). So many times school would be delayed or cancelled when we would be fine. I don't ever remember them closing only some schools.

I have been perusing data again and was looking at the most snowy 5 year periods for the foothills from the last 75 years. Most Snowy- 1960-1965- 70-80 inches of snow. Winter of 1960 had around 30-40 inches alone (most of it coming in Feb and March). 1968-1973. 70-80 inches of snow. Winter of 1968/69 was the snowiest on record for a lot of our region. 35-45 inches of snow fell that winter alone. 1943-1948- 65-75 inches of snow. Around 15 inches each season. 2014-2019- 60-70 inches of snow. Big storms in 2016 and 2018 helped this period make the list.

Not so bad after all huh. Great shot.

Low of 16.7

16.7F here - same. Kinda bottomed out around 9-10pm and then it stopped dropping.

zzzzzzzzzzzzz

u got scammed

EWR and JFK are much more aligned with local observations. There is only one observation near central park for 3.1 and that's from a local. A local weather station measured 3 in the park at 8AM yesterday while it was snowing moderately and did so for three more hours. If this was a one time thing you let it go and say who cares, it was probably 3.5 - 4 so they made a mistake, but it happens all the time. It's not like Central Park has a history of accurate snowfall measurements. As you probably know the Central Park Zookeeper kept the snow measurements from 1992 until 2014. That period was terrible for measurements. Most famous were the under measurement during the January 1996 and Boxing Day blizzards of 2010. Both were anywhere from 4-6 inches short looking at all reputable local measurements. Things improved with the Conservancy from about 2015-2018 but started to go downhill again around 2019 or 2020. If it was once in a while you let it go. When it's fairly constant you have to wonder what is going on. Just from yesterday look at the LE from the local stations around CP and you have to figure somebody's off. Temperatures were marginal at all of the stations so it's questionable whether that's the reason. NYC .51 inches 2.9 snow JFK .53 inches 4.6 snow EWR .52 inches 4.1 Snow LGA .53 inches 2.6 snow

Heckin' wimdy out there today. Low roar in the treetops and cold as a muthafukka. And finally after all this cold we have full coverage in New England. Wintah!

Was outside last night want to say it was around 9:00 or so and it was very peaceful just looking around and seeing everything covered in snow with Christmas lights...for some reason, this scenery makes it so you don't even feel the cold. All it takes is a couple inches of snow to totally change the mood.

Central Maryland yes, I lived in Germantown at the time and remember it well. After hours of heavy snow we were hit with by far the greatest thunder snow/sleet event I've ever seen in my 74 years. The wind became so fierce bare trees were swaying wildly as sleet began overpowering the snow and we were absolutely hammered with thunderclaps. It was truly a mind blowing experience, a movie ingrained in my memory.

5.8" total here from the clipper + LES. The cold has done a number on western Lake Erie!

Lol… Very wintry out there for sure. Enjoy and appreciate.

Hopefully the Ridge doesn't do like the guy in thaht Song, I get knocked down, but I get up again, ain't nothin gonna slow me down ". Lol. I just had to man !

Holy son of a nutcracker. this thread is WOW. And people wonder why i rarely post....................Heres your sign

That happened in '95-96 as we know. It would Snow and be cold a few Days, warm up rain and even flood some a time or two then cold and snow again. Blocking was the big difference maker that Winter. If we can get strong persistent blocking, I think we'll score some good Snow Events.

Similar thoughts. We’ll probably lose the first week of Jan, but second week may get more interesting with tracking threats.

The future is scary. Hide yo kids, hide yo wives…

Oh yea, that's a nice one..lol.

We decided on gutters (I wanted to wait a year) but the insulation so far doesn’t seem to be too bad. We still need more though. I came across this monster downtown the other day.

Yea, Im pretty bad at keeping up with that. Some years I do a little better job, but this year I haven't done any roof raking so I have more ice dams.

8.5” storm total and season total. Thanks. Commack NY

Take the under on summer temps and winter snowfall there lol
