Well, there are years like 2018. I had snow on the ground the entire month of March. Of course it took 40+ inches of snow that month to do that. I believe the city had 18 inches in total that month.

29.7 here after Saturdays 1.4. Highland Mills NY I will not be outdone by Rob.

Amazing what two days will do. I was projected over 30 inches, and I'm 50 miles north of the city, by the same model and two days later the Delmarva may not see flurries. It's actually hysterical that it's that bad.

My biggest storm ever here 35 inches, Danbury CT 30 miles due east of me I think ended up with about 10 inches becuase of all the rain they started with.

It would be interesting to see what the average temps for each period. I would guess that period in the 50's was at least 3-5 degrees colder

Well you can't say that for 90% of the geographic state of NY. I suppose if you just look at NYC and LI maybe. Although the CT coastal and RI coatsal areas and even the Cape snowfall averages are on par with most of the north shore of LI. Albany NY and Boston are at the same latitude but Albany averages a foot more of snow per year and is also much colder because of inland location. Actually the three snowiest cities in the United States, population above 100,000, are all in NY, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo. Lake effect related I get it but the Adirondack region which is more than 1/3 of the state does just fine in Winter.

I get it but I think it's dumb. It's the northeast and really it's just semantics and doesn't matter either way. Like I said it's a pet peeve and an antagonistic term thrown around by New Englanders IMO, good natured ribbing but ribbing nonetheless.

Philly has it's own thread, The Mid Atlantic thread here is what the geographic Mid Atlantic on the east coats truly is. Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, Washington DC, you can also throw southernmost Jersey in there if you want since it is below the mason dixon line. On a separate note It's a pet peeve of mine when New York state is referred to as a MId Atlantic state, geographically it's idiotic, NY is further north than 3 of the 6 New England states, four if we include the tie with Vermont at 45° north.

My snowfall right now is 29.7 inches about 20 below the seasonal norm but we still have a good 6 weeks of winter here, maybe not in places south of the city, to get to seasonal norm. I'm now at 41 days of a solid, although never deep, snow cover for the season as opposed to last year which was 26 days for the whole winter, and the year before which was a ridiculous 16 days. In those two years the total snowfall was 28.8 and 30.6 so pretty much what I've received so far this year. So with basically the same amount of snow I've had 20-25 days more of snow cover and what I have now isn't going anywhere for at least another week if not longer. It's 4 inches of snow, ice and sleet compacted into a water equivalent that I would guess is close to 1.5 to 2.0 inches. That doesn't disappear quickly like a normal overnight 4 inch snowfall would.

Most of the mid Atlantic forum getting shut out of this now. Everyone said they were a lock no matter what. Nothings a lock. Time to move on. 29.6 YTD doubt I get to 50 which is my seasonal norm but despite the lack of the big one the winters still a C+. At least it's looked and felt like winter. Much better than the last two sorry excuses for winter.

yesterday is why

Not Thursday, I already wrote that off. I'll check in again Monday night to verify.

31° and freezing drizzle continues. This snow pack of 4 or so inches will have the durability of a 2 foot pack of fluff.

That doesn't bother me. When areas 200 miles or more to to my south get walloped that bothers me.

Actually if this is going to miss us, lets miss everybody on the east coast. I don't know why but for some reason it will make me feel better. The old saying misery loves company.

North and west would be best. Not much improvement but at least not worse. We shall name the storm Lazarus if it somehow resurrects itself the next couple of days.

31 and freezing drizzle. Waiting for daylight to see how bad overnight was.

Better name, kept thinking you were reporting weather from Boulder, Colorado and why do you care about weather in the northeast.

1.3 inches with 29.6 ytd I now have 11 events of one inch or more this season 7 of them between 1.1 and 1.9 inches. It's been an interesting way to nickel and dime your way to an average snowfall season. The 8 inches from January 19 seems like a blizzard now.

I do not, I just track the number of days with at least an inch on 80% of the ground. I would say of the 40 days so far the far majority have been in the 3-5 inch depth range.

27° and light sleet/snow mix. 1.3 inches so far in 7 1/2 hours of continuous snow, not setting any records. That will probably be it accumulation wise for this. I thought for sure this morning I'd go above 30 inches for the season but right now at 29.6 where it will most likely stay. Now I turn my attention to the ice. One of the few times during a winter event I will now be rooting for a sharp temperature spike up.

I realize it's not a trackable event, but does the constant snow cover do anything for you? I'm at 40 days for the season right now and 24 of the last 26 days since the 8 inches on Jan 19th. That and the sub zero days and the 28.9 inches so far at least makes this winter feel normal again unlike the last two atrocities.

0.6 inches for 3 1/2 hours of continuous snow. I think I can safely say 3-4 inches is out of the equation. 26° and snow continues.

Sometimes you just have to sniff out the trends of the day, and I'm not loving today.

What did the people in SE Delaware do to deserve this Winter? Unheard of for them.
