12Z GFS for Thursday. Something to watch for northern suburbs Thursday night, but personally I give it little credence atm.

Beautiful pictures, beautiful area. I stayed in North Conway and finally made it to the Mt. Washington summit this summer, incredible place. Stop in the Mt. Washington museum in North Conway if you get a chance and haven't been, it's a weather enthusiasts paradise. They still have stuff running this time of year that takes you up to 4,000 feet on Mt. Washington? If so I'll have to add that to the bucket list. I also got to the summit of Whiteface mountain near Lake Placid last September, another worthwhile trip. Leaves were at their peak in the valley and past peak above 3,000 feet, and pretty much leafless over 4,000 feet. On a clear day you can see presidential range from the peak.

21.1° and flurrying, add 0.5 inches of snow last night which now brings the seasonal to an even 20 inches. 12 inches of snow on December 2-3 and 8 inches since then in 7 separate events. What started so promising has turned into a nightmare of a winter.

I have to respectfully disagree. The name Snow88 has not been working weather wise for NYC metro for the past 2 winters. MJO812 is still new, he needs to give it more time.

Pictures? I'm desperate.

The stats below are for NYC, KNYC and represent the number of 10 inch or above, 6-9.9 inch and 6 inch or above snowfalls for each month since records have been kept the last 151 years. There have been 193 storms of 6 inches or above and 65 of 10 inches or above in this time frame. Although December at 37, does have more 6 inch snowfalls then March (31), there have been more 6 inch snowfalls from March 1 forward (38) than in December. NYC's best month for large snowfalls and snowfall in general is historically February, not the last few years though. No. of 10 + inch snows by Month 1…....November 12…..December 16…..January 25…..February 9…....March 2…....April 65….Total No. of 6-9.9 inch snows by Month 4…......November 25…....December 32…....January 40…....February 22…....March 5…......April 128....Total No. of 6 + inch snows by Month 5…......November 37…....December 48…....January 65…....February 31…....March 7…......April 193....Total Here's the average snowfall per month at Central Park since January 1991 through January 2020, the period that the next 30 year averages will be calculated on. Right now its 30.3 inches, they need 12.9 more by December 31 to get a 30.0 inch average for the period. October......0.1 November...0.5 December...4.9 January......8.7 February...10.5 March.........5.1 April...........0.4 Total......30.3

Do what I do on days like this, don’t waste your time opening them.

Sunday looks fairly calm through the entire route atm.

Thanks for the explanation Rob, that makes sense. It's just another sign of the times and the horrible pattern that has controlled us for the past 7 weeks that this is my biggest concern.

I noticed this morning that our sub forum title is not in bold like all of the other sub forums. Is this a subliminal message that our area does not really belong in the NYC metro, as several members to the south have argued during the past month? 32.4° 0.0 inches of snow last night. The seasonal stays put at 19.5 inches.

I received 16 inches from that storm. Lost 4 pear trees that still had most of their leaves on them. Of course that was followed by one of the worst winters in recent memory, now rivaled by this one.

Love the new name, maybe it will turn things around. At this point in time I'd try Voodoo if I thought it might help.

I believe that's programmed in to automatically occur every three days. It keeps suckers like us looking even in patterns like this.

Was there any snow remnants anywhere along the higher elevations of 81 in Virginia?

And December started off so well. It seems like a lifetime ago.

Optimist

Next time you travel that part of 81, and probably better to do in the warmer months, do yourself a favor and take the Blue Ridge Parkway for the 130 or so mile stretch in Virginia that it runs parallel to 81. It takes longer but the views are incredible. Lots of nice spots to stop and hike or just take in the views.

Yep, with an automated strike zone he probably goes down looking, but even if he did they weren't losing that series. No one was beating them in 98.

I was at the Tino GS vs Langston game too. I remember this huge guy about 5 rows in front of me that made me look like a midget, and I'm 6 2, 210, pulled his chair out of the ground and raised it over his head while he was cheering after the homer. I may have had a few that night, and I know those chairs were bolted in the ground, so it was either loose, or he was Superman, but still one of the more impressive feats of strength I've ever seen at a baseball game.And yes that may have been the loudest game I've ever attended. It felt like the upper deck might fall and crush us.

Mariano on the mound and a fourth straight series, and fifth in six years were right there for the taking after incredible comebacks in games 4 & 5. Happening as it did right after 9/11 it just seemed like it was meant to be. Luis Gonzalez 120 foot single still haunts me to this day

And oddly enough one state over in Denver they have 0.0 inches of snow so far for the month of January. I'm not sure how the ski areas in Colorado are faring for the month.

It's time for JB to hang em up, he's several years past his prime. Granted he will be right again at some point with his cold and snowy tweets, but only for the same reason that a broken clock is correct twice a day.

I know people tend to look at the pictures the day before the blizzard when it was unseasonably mild and assume they were coming out of a mild winter, but the winter as a whole in 1887/88, temperature wise was brutal by our current standards, and snowfall was about average until March. By month, December 1887 averaged 33.4° with 9.0 inches of snow, January averaged 23.2° (about 16° below what our current January will be) with 11.0 inches of snow. February was somewhat of the head fake month for them, only 3.0 inches of snow but still an average temp of 29.2° for the month. March 1888 averaged 29.9° which is the only March in 150 years to average below 30° in NYC. And then there was the Blizzard, officially measured as 21.0 inches in Manhattan yet surrounding areas like Brooklyn measured 36 inches, New Haven 45 and Albany 48 inches. Uncle W has some great photos of Manhattan after the storm. When you look at those photos and when you consider there was no snow cover the day before, there is now way that was 21 inches in Manhattan. It was 30 minimum and probably closer to the 36 measured in Brooklyn. The tradition of under measuring the large storms in NYC began back then IMO.

Snowier yes, but not cold by any measure. The last 20 years the December through March Period has been on average 2.5 degrees warmer than the historical averages in NYC. I state facts I don't overreact, but if you say that again I'm going to my safe space.

It would be a continuation of recent trends. Four of the last 5 Marches in NYC have been the snowiest months of the season, and not just in the bad years. Odder still is two of the last three Marches have been colder than that seasons February. That rarely happens.
