With the 0.6 inches of snow recorded in Central Park today this now leaves NYC needing 31.2 inches of snow between now and December 31 2020 to reach a 30.0 year average for snowfall when the new 30 year averages come out in Jan 2021. The average would now be 29.0 inches if no more snow fell for the next two years (never happened and hopefully never will). The current monthly averages for NYC for Jan 1991-Jan 2019 October......0.1 November....0.5 December....5.0 January.......8.9 February....10.8 March.........4.9 April...........0.4 Seasonal Avg..30.7

In the teens and freezing rain at 7AM Sunday in the HV? Shoot me now if that's really going to happen.

It's definitely time for me to upgrade. With some of these storms the last several years having a smaller model is almost like doing it yourself. You mind if I ask what this one cost? Also does anyone know what happened to Ulster? I haven't seem him post for months.

Yup it could still trend either way. Hope those of us that waited up and were encouraged by the 0Z's don't get a 6Z rude awakening.

And GFS ENS at 1PM Sunday. People on the coast on the fence but I'm liking it.

OZ GFS ENS at 7 Am Sunday.

Ukie was a good run, holding serve, good snow storm for much of our area.

In March 1888 the average temperature in NYC was 29.9 degrees. For the year it was 49.4. I'd like to see a stretch of sustained cold like that once in my lifetime.

Following one of the great cold waves of all time in January 1961. Poughkeepsie set their all time record low of -30 during the stretch your referring to. I believe the closest they've come since was -23.

Last nights 0Z CMC showed the cutter. I was hoping at the time it was an outlier, not the case today though other models seem to be trending that way.

Well there's a couple of issues I have with that. The first is Central Park has had 7 storms of 20.0 inches or more and 4 in the last 12 years so I don't know if I'd call that Historic. Throw in Feb 17, 2003 with 19.8 and Jan 26-27, 2011 with 19.0 and you make it 9 storms. The way they use to measure in Central Park either of those could have been over 20. The other is Central Park is one isolated location in a forecast area that goes out in about a 60 mile radius of Central Park. I don't have the exact figures, but I would guess there have been at least 20 storms in the last 20 years within a 60 mile radius of Central Park where at least some locations within that area have had 20 or more inches, so again good storms but hardly IMO historic. I believe Bluewave or Don had a thread on that fairly recently. If it was someone else my apologies, it's a great thread.

Not true, I use them in sentences everyday. I'm hoping for some secs today, but first I'm going to have some tex mecs. The witch put a hecs on me, so I drank a lot of becs to ease my anxiety.

SECS = 6-12 MECS =12-24 HECS = 24-36 BECS =36+ I'm just posting this because you made quite a jump from SECS to BECS, I wasn't sure if you knew of the two in between and purposely skipped them, but I like your thinking.

Just saw this, well that certainly puts a crappy month of weather into it's proper perspective. Hope your on your way back to a quick recovery.

This conversation pretty much sums up the state of our weather pattern the last couple of weeks.

Two reasons. December averages anywhere from 5-10 inches for the month through most of our region so getting shut out is annoying. The second and biggest reason is every snow weenie wants snow before or on Christmas. They'd be freaks if they didn't.

It wasn't weird, it was horrible. Like something out of your worst nightmare.

And those of us who have lived through 40+ years of bad measurements, mostly under measurements at Central Park, can certainly relate. Although Boston measures at Logan so it's very possible a few miles inland made a big difference.

You can't use that excuse when the city had a similar storm ten days earlier than this one only six years ago on November 6th 2012. Central Park measured 4.7 from that storm, likely an under measurement, but many parts of the city measured 8 inches. Memories can't be that short.

9.2 inches here and still snowing lightly. I'm probably under reporting by an inch at least because there was several hours of freezing rain and sleet last night that compacted the snow pack. My fault for not clearing my snow board last night.

Yesterdays 6.4 inches of snow in NYC becomes only the 5th November storm of 6 inches or more. It also becomes the 193rd storm of six inches or more since records (1869) have been kept. NYC 6 + inch snows by Month 5 2.6% November 37 19.2% December 48 24.9% January 65 33.7% February 31 16.1% March 7 3.6% April 193 100.0% Total

Below is the average snowfall for NYC (Central Park) per month since January 2010. Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar April May Total 0.3 1.2 5.1 14.2 12.8 5.5 0.6 0.0 39.7 Jan 2010-Current January and February have been carrying the load. The other months are all very near their 150 year average.

8.5 inches as of 8:45 This feels like a continuation of last March/April

Looks like the Conservancy is off to a solid start, The 4pm snow measurement at Central Park was missing. No surprise here.

But it may make 40 today. Already up to 38.5 here, smh.
