A Saturday of light jacket weather followed by two mornings of mid 40’s. My kind of late June.

Similar story here. Dropped to 34.3 and had some big flakes, rain and sleet for a bit, back to 35.6 now and mostly rain. So close, yet so far.

It was chilling as the news spread throughout school. You couldn’t really believe it happened like you were hearing it. Remember no cell phones, internet or social media of any kind. Just your young mind trying to process what seemed unthinkable.

The bigger question is why bother to go to Maine at all. New England Does such a great winter sell on their climate people seem to forget most of upstate New York gets more snow and it’s colder too in many places, the Adirondacks for one. Also we need to stop referring to New York State as the middle Atlantic, it’s just geographically idiotic.

That is criminal. This seems to happen a lot where you are. Is this something unique to just this season or is the area you live seem to be, for lack of a better description, somewhat of a snow hole in the area?

What were totals like around the area? Maybe I missed people posting them before but I haven’t really seen any. Can’t get outside today but I saw a trained spotter in Monroe post 4 1/2 inches at 1:30 today. It’s only about seven or 8 miles from me so I’m assuming I’m similar and from the looks outside that looks about right.

Back under a heavy band but unless it just sits there won’t be under it for long.

Son of a bitch, You can already see it. Thought we were going to snow heavily till 2 o’clock looks like we have maybe another hour at most, at least where I am. Just the story of this winter. For now 30° and heavy snow. Under the weather today so no official measurements but there has to be at least 3 inches so far.

32.8 and from the visibility I would call it heavy snow flicks a pretty small though well it’s already covering up everything. Road driveway grass all covered. And it didn’t start snowing till a little after nine. Should be an interesting next four hours

The way the storm is approaching it’s really more of an east west rather north south thing. Eastern Connecticut Massachusetts and all of Rhode Island Pretty much gets shut out from snow.

I believe it was Julian that said earlier today that he thought there would be a stripe of almost a foot from Warwick to Pittsfield. That pretty much is in line with what the 12 km name is showing now. And it’s not even the Kuchera.

Stop bantering with him, it’s what he craves. He’s a predator that feeds off of hate, a sad way to live life.

Last year NYChad snow cover for 25 consecutive days after the February 1 storm. To paint it as a rarity to have snow on the ground for over a week in an entire winter Is just bad information. Granted the three winters before 2020/21 were horrible for snow cover in city. Remember snow cover is also calculated in the Park, most cities don’t keep much snow cover on their sidewalks.

Changed to heavy snow early Christmas morning in Orange County. Snowed all day ended up with 15.5 inches. Best Christmas ever.

You do realize even way up there in eastern Labrador and all of New Foundland it’s going to be almost all rain. Yeah I’ll pass on that.

The official Central Park measurement for Jan 96 storm was 20.2 inches which makes it even worse. Newark was 28 and LaGuardia 24 yet right in between the two 20.2 Sure it can happen that way but it didn’t, the real total was 24-26 as you stated. Many other examples like this, Boxing Day a similar under measurement. Like I said earlier don’t get me started.

2.8 inches for this one. 30.7 for the season. Overall a fairly crappy winter.

Didn’t jackpot on this one only 2.8 inches here. Seasonal now 30.7 inches. if nothing happens Saturday or for the next month this winter is a solid D, maybe it can eke out a C- because of the 40+ days of snow cover.

Not sure why you would tally that as 2 inches. Other than your driveway it sounds like you’re in the 3-4 inch range.

It’s no mystery what’s going on here and it has been all season. The NWS has dropped the ball again, as they have so many times in years past, regarding snowfall measurements at Central Park. Look at every event this season and the Park has under measured, or not measured at all, every event. When they had the Conservancy measure the last several years it was better although not perfect. I’m not sure what they’re doing this year but it’s time to start applying pressure again. It’s ridiculous that the largest city in the country can’t measure snowfall with any consistency. I don’t even want to get started on all of the historic storms they have under measured through the decades.

Was just joking Hyde and poking fun at those obsessed with it sticking to the pavement. I have a snow board.

31.5° heavy snow. Almost 2 inches but it's not sticking well to the pavement, so is my total actually 0?

Maybe not, but the monthly’s for April look cold and snowy. Lock it up.

I’ve never understood why people care how much falls on the pavement. There’s nothing better than an early November or April storm that drops 6 inches on the lawn and barely covers the driveway and roads.

The 1991-2020 average, which is the latest published averages, they update them every 30 years, is 29.8 for both central park and Laguardia. Actually Central Parks average is 29.9 when you add up all the individual months and divide, but somehow they couldn't even get that right. The HV averages haven't gone down, I'm in Orange County and I've averaged 53.8 the last 10 years which is about 3-5 inches above the average. It's not that the interior averages have gone down, the coast is starting to lessen the gap. Of course percentage wise a 5 inch jump in average from 25 to 30 is a much bigger jump then say 45 to 50. Will see if the trend continues. The Northeast coast is warming at such a rate I would think a reversal in the snow trends will soon have their day, at least for the coastal areas, say NJ to SE MA. unfortunately. Boston and north on the coast will probably continue to increase until even they hit a certain temperature threshold.
