    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.

    March is usually two distinct periods. The first two weeks in March in a typical winter you can usually expect to still have snow on the ground here, the last two weeks a different story. If you get it then it's usually not sticking around too long. Of course you do occasionally have months like March 2018 which you alluded to. I had snow on the ground virtually the entire month, but of course from March 2 to April 5 I also had 50 inches of snow, not exactly your typical March.

    One of two decent events that winter in what was otherwise a D winter. January 7th-8th 2024 event was 9.6 inches in Highland Mills. Parts of NW jersey, Places in Orange County northwest of me, and Dutchess county were in the 12-14 range from that event.

    @The 4 Seasons43.0 even. Highland Mills NY

    34.2° here. So be it, the streak is over and I'm actually glad. The talk in the tabloids was getting a little ridiculous. This wasn't exactly January 1961 or even January 1994 for that matter.

    But many of us don't live in NYC. The normals in Orange County today are 35/15, on Feb 28 they are 41/20 a big difference from the UHI. Bring on a snowy February and March and let's stop talking about Spring on Feb 2. We're in the middle of a decent winter for the first time in four years, can't we just enjoy it.
  21. CPcantmeasuresnow
    Maybe in urban and shore areas I doubt for the whole forum.
  22. CPcantmeasuresnow
    Things evened up February 25-26 2010 when NYC received 21 inches and much of the HV west of the Hudson received 25-40 inches. I received 35 in Highland Mills the biggest storm total I've recorded here.
  23. CPcantmeasuresnow
    Let us know what you end up with. It looks like the heavy stuff stayed offshore for the most part. Northern areas doing a little better. They're still predicting up to 20 inches for eastern Newfoundland but I can't see that happening either. Maybe a foot.
  24. CPcantmeasuresnow
    I've waited to long for a stretch like this with deep snow cover and sustained cold so I'm still enjoying it. Give me another month to six weeks of this and I might be ready to cry uncle.
  25. CPcantmeasuresnow
    Would be a shame to lose it to one hourly 33 degree reading this coming week but that's probably what will happen
