Yeah 15.4° here which is the normal low for the date. After getting use to a month straight of above normal temperatures it feels like Antarctica relatively speaking.

True: Chicago had a period where 8 out of 9 days were above 80, that March. It was nuts.

Good point

We shall see. Dec 2006 was 43.6 but December 2019 was 38.8 January 2007 was 37.5, so far this January is 42.7. I'd call it a draw right now. December 2015 was an unprecedented 50.8 which was close to the average temperature for April.

We're at the halfway mark for January and NYC is currently 10.2° above normal for the month, Poughkeepsie is 11.9° above normal, Trenton is 11.4° above and Albany is a ridiculous 14.6° above normal. Nightmare flashbacks to December 2015, not quite as bad but getting close.

42.3° and windy. What a boring, dreary, April in January this has been.

Hey that's bald shaming. Although I believe the correct term now is follicley challenged.

Truer words were never spoken on this forum.

The snow, even in bad years, stuck around a lot longer and you didn’t have to go to a building to play hockey you just had to have a lake or pond nearby. Geez I’m starting to sound like my father.

I'm not laughing, if that should happen

Well for one your definition of the metro area is somewhat limited. There's a lot of us out here that live 40 miles and more north of the city that may get 6 inches out of this, for what's been going on the last four weeks that would be a major win. If your just referring to the city and south I agree with you.

Agreed, I see that as max potential from this setup, I'm expecting more along the lines of 3-5 Don't know if you noticed but I made a comment on your post in the other thread that you Poughkeepsie people should stay where you belong and post in the upstate forum. Obviously it was a joke referencing the stuff from yesterday where someone kept posting to "Head in the Clouds" that he shouldn't post in the NYC sub forum. Anyway the moderators deleted it and I get it, they probably saw it as opening a can of worms again that they wanted closed.

Give me end result totals like the December 2-3 storm, 12 inches here, and I'd be happy. WTS I don't see that, at least for now. Initial thoughts are 6-8 around the HV, maybe a few 10 spots in the areas prone to jackpot, and I'll say this setup achieved its max.

I suppose it's all relative. Much colder today than this past freak of a weekend but still running about 10 degrees above normal today.

July 1 through to the following June 30 is the universal 12 month period for seasonal snow totals for all reporting stations. Obviously most locations do not revive any snow during the majority of those months.

Even in the Midwest the big snows have pretty much bypassed all of the big cities. The seasonal totals since July 1 so far including yesterdays snow at the largest Midwest cities. Cleveland..........9.5 Indianapolis....10.4 Omaha..............5.6 St. Louis............9.1 Detroit.............14.3 Des Moines.....12.6 Chicago...........12.9 Kansas city........9.3 I'm sitting at 16.1 inches right now in what so far has been a pretty dull winter, and I'm ahead of all of them. Also contrary to popular belief several of these cities are surprisingly above their seasonal norms despite the very modest totals. Unless you live in the northern plains or along the great lakes the Midwest is not the snow haven many believe it to be.

Yep, that's two days in a row in January that Boston hit or went above 70. I would think that has to be a first.

Heartbreaking. I hate waking up to scenes like that. I still have nightmares of the January 96 thaw (60° and rain) that erased three feet of snow from my property in a matter of days. Thankfully that year it was all refreshed within days.

Chicago received 2.1 inches of snow yesterday, hardly crushed.

Hang gliding?

In December that was true, but so far January is about a +9, not even factoring in today. Personally I'd just like temperatures to get back close to seasonal. It's plenty cold enough this time of year, especially in the HV where I reside, for snow if we could just get back to seasonal norms for a nice stretch.

Never in my lifetime, and not something I hoped I'd ever see. Kind of scary when you think about what could follow in years to come.

I think you mean we've had colder days in June. The average high temperature doesn't even reach 70 in NYC until May 11.

To a degree what you say is true, but this stretch from December 22nd to January 16th or so will still not approach what December 2015 was. You had a whole month that averaged 13-14 degrees above normal area wide, and broke the record average for the month by 7 degrees. As bad as this stretch has been it still will not be that, despite today and tomorrows record setting warmth.

Certainly not for better, sickening is fitting.
