    I don't think it will get anywhere close to the top three. You have to remember those 3-4 degrees below normal you see for the past two months are measured against averages from 1991-2020 which are the highest averages, by far, since records have been kept.

    I measured 1.1 inches in a tough environment to get accuracy. 12° with blowing snow. A beautiful winter day. 44.1 inches on the season.

    But there have been 46 individual instances of longer periods. That would be a much better way to put it into historical context.

    And that's the way it usually goes. It would be against the norm for both sides of the country to be snowy and cold in the same winter.

    We had a storm with 11-18 inches of snow area wide, followed by cold that preserved most of the snow cover in place for the two weeks since. How is that a waste of the cold?

    It's much deeper than Lake Erie and rarely freezes over. Lake Ontario has a maximum depth of 800 feet Lake Erie barely over 200 feet. Lake Ontario is actually deeper than Lake Huron.

    On the Jersey shore I'm sure it does. To those of us to the north of NYC latitude I've always looked at the first two to three weeks of March as just another winter month. After the 20th or so I agree.

    I would be remiss without noting this is day 52 with snow cover in Orange County surpassing last years total seasonal of 51 days. 43.0 inches of snow now ytd which already surpassed last years rather measly 32.8 inches. It's a solid A winter right now. Will see how it finishes up the next 7 weeks to see if it can retain its grade.

    It is a misleading way to rank. I don't say that saying you're misleading, just when you have these come out ranked with this numbers it doesn't give a true indication of where a specific year, date, or sequence of days really stands historically.

    Low of 2° this morning. it seems to be a crapshoot the last couple of weeks on what mornings are gonna be the mornings of good radiational cooling. This morning seemed to be one of them at least in certain areas.

    Montauk ground zero. Congratulations to all of the 4,000 residents.

    I still find it so disappointing the way 2010/2011 seemed like it was on its way to break all the snowfall records and just died. Still a great winter overall for most but the last six weeks a big disappointment for many.

    The one difference I would note and I'll use the last storm as an example. When I cleared the board at 10pm I recorded 15.8 inches depth as the snow had ended. The next morning there was another 0.5 so I added that for a storm total of 16.3. I'm sure if I measured depth that morning it was probably closer to a 15 inch depth.

    Max 17° Min 3° Snow 1.4 inches

    That line should be back up to the Mason Dixon line by the weekend, but an impressive week for those areas not used to this.
