Someone posted in the main thread a couple of days ago how even in a good winter we go through stretches like we have this February, really? I'm old enough to remember taking my jacket off in February because I couldn't believe it was in the high 40's. Low to mid 60's in January and February for several days, with 50's every third or fourth day, I never remember anything close.

Nothing could make this Winter. If you gave me March 1888 it still can’t receive a passing grade.
-
I’m usually the type that will take snow during any month, just to add to totals, but after this miserable whatever it was, certainly not winter, should there be a snowy cold March, which is 100 to 1 against at this point I would just look at it like mother nature giving us the middle finger. That sentence was for too long. I probably should’ve made it three or four sentences.
-
True but other than that one storm most of that winter was mild and snowless, with the warmest December in history beating the old mark by 7 degrees. I’ll pass on another one of those. I still prefer winters with several storms of moderate size, with prolonged snow cover and average to slightly below average temperatures. Of course even up where I am in Orange County those are getting less and less frequent.

And this is what it has come down to.

They didn’t miss the Feb 26 storm in New England it rained the whole time there while we got a blizzard. It was beautiful.

The February 26, 2010 storm actually did bring over 20 inches to New York City. Actually 20.9 inches in Central Park. That’s still the biggest snowfall of my life up in orange county, highland mills and Monroe both recorded 35 inches from that storm. I think we’re confusing two different events here.
-
I had snow on the ground everyday in March 2018 and even into the first several days of April. Of course it took 50 inches of snow in total from March 2 to April 3 to make that happen. Unfortunately I doubt that’s in the cards again.

Thanks that did the trick. It’s nice to see maps and reaction emojis again. Just wish there was something to follow weather wise.
-
That’s so wrong.
-
To prevent that I will try to stay pessimistic.
-
Yes what he said. The 35% that I understand sounds promising.
-
Is there anyway to give any reactions other than a like on Tapatalk ? I hate Tapatalk on the iPhone but haven’t been able to use safari for the forum. Is it no longer possible to access the forum on iPhone’s on Safari? .

Thanks for this Chris. So I’m assuming the -26 low in Sussex during the January 1994 outbreak became the lowest officially recognized low in NJ during this time frame. What I was referencing was my memory of a -32 reading in NW Jersey during January 1994, which is mentioned in the article below. It was in a town called Hainesville in Sussex. I’m assuming now that reading was never officially recognized by the NWS. https://www.njherald.com/story/news/2014/01/22/county-s-coldest-day-came/4017599007/ .

Some town in northwest jersey hit either -32 or -34 during that 1994 outbreak. I can’t remember if it was Sparta? It either set the state record or tied it. Throw that into all of the -20 in parts of the lower and mid Hudson valley. That was Definitely the most impressive in these parts since January 1961. .
-
It was also due north, northwest of NYC. If you check those mornings, Newburgh was -18, Poughkeepsie was -19, I was -23 in Orange County Highland Mills, still the coldest temperature I've ever been outside in my lifetime anywhere. I didn't check but I remember Albany being around -26?
-
-4 a little disappointed. .
-
-3, Highland Mills Orange County. It is odd to see the core east of us, I can’t really recall that happening. Boston at -8 is one of the few times I ever remember them bottoming lower than me. Adirondack towns all pushing -30 right now. Lake Placid, Saranac Lake and Old Forge all -28 to -26 right now. Saw a -84 wind chill at Whiteface. .
-
Yes, too bad the roles couldn't have been reversed.
-
It will not be -13 in Boston, there's forecasts and then there's reality. The average tempertaures in Boston during winter are higher than most of the HV 40 miles north and northwest of NYC. If you're comparing Central New England to NYC then yes there's no comparison, a different world as you say.
-
When there's no post since Tuesday you know we are in the middle of what is so far an all time stinker of a winter. We can't even seem to get the one cold day right. Looks like we may not even go below zero tomorrow night. As I do get older though the cold without snow on the ground, or better yet falling from the sky, is starting to seem more and more superfluous. I added that just so I could use the word superfluous.
-
We can hope. .
-
Depressing, but numbers don’t lie. .
-
Every single day of the month above normal, and most days way above normal. That’s another this has never happened before in 153 years of records. Hope we never see this again but I’m suspecting we will again in the not too distant future. Today will make it 35 consecutive days above normal. What can you say, this makes the late 90’s look awesome in comparison. .

If that's true, I'll endure the heat.
