What an easy marker you are. So the worst winter so far in New York City history and you give it an F+? I don’t see how it’s anything other than an F minus right now. It’s actually so bad we should create the letter G just to grade this winter. if somehow New York City received 30 inches of snow in March to bring it a normal snowfall winter, and temperatures in March actually were normal or slightly below the top grade that could be achieved right now is a D, and that’s best case scenario. In my opinion of course. I live 50 miles north of New York City so I grade my winters differently. I want at least 45 days of snow cover, average snowfall and average temperatures for a season to receive a B minus. With 8 inches of snowfall so far and snow cover for six days, and no ice to speak of, and above normal temperatures pretty much straight for two months, this is a G- right now.

Pretty rare for that area from one event. Since the 1880’s they have had only 5 storms of 17 or more inches. In the same time period NYC has had 16 storms of 17 or more inches.

With all due respect, you are out of your mind.

Good grief, when is someone going to take this model out back and put it out of its misery. Yet I can’t tun away.
-
Warning level for this year.
-
You can’t declare something over if it never started.
-
For the city and coastal plain maybe. We in the northern areas of suburbs still have our share of significant snows during that period, but in this year of no winter I’m already at the point of not caring.
-
Well Boston has only 7 inches of snow for the entire season so far. I’m doubting it works out for them either.

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. .
