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.

And further west Denver has had no measurable snow this January. A trace so far this month.

As the coastal plain, city and Island people begin abandoning ship on this weekend which never looked good for them to begin with, I believe we still have a decent shot here at seeing something (by that I mean 4+) for this weekend. Sure I'd like to see a 980mb or below a little inside the benchmark, but it doesn't have to be that strong for us to get snow from this setup IMO. Glad to have a sub forum where I can say that without hearing about marginal temps, the stars and planets have to align perfectly for it to snow here, why aren't we like SNE their climo works for them, even if it does snow it will be white rain, it won't stick on the pavement, the sun angle is already coming into play, and it's gonna be spring in 4 weeks anyway.

Very passive aggressive to those in CNE and NNE. However I'm good with it. Extended out to the HV I'm guessing I'm in the 24-36 inch band. That might even be enough for me not to gripe about the 48-60 inch totals 50 miles to my east. Upon reflection probably not, I'd be annoyed.

What a cruel twist of fate that is.

Is it flu? If so the next question of course is did you get a flu shot this year?

18.8 inches Eastern Orange County in HV. When you say you're two feet below normal, don't you average 200-300 inches per year in the Tug Hill? I'll take your bad years.

Somewhat of an exaggeration, depending on what you define as way more. Boston averages 17 inches more per season than NYC but 17 inches less than Albany at the same latitude. No one ever seems to remember when their easterly locations work against them too. if you're just referring to the city and the coastal plain of NJ what you say is true, but most areas N&W of NYC and even a few spots on the North shore of LI average the same or more snow per season than many parts of SNE, especially coastal CT, RI and MA.

The way some people act you'd never know we lived in an area that averages 50 or so inches of snow a season. We've had three feet of snow from a single storm and at worst case I was not able to go out for 24 hours. Is starvation even a possibility in 24 hours? This is assuming you had nothing to eat in the house until you went out for that milk, bread, and eggs you needed pre-storm.

And the consecutive days with snow cover officially ends today at 7. It's now 24 days for the season, which actually sounds like a lot considering what a horrible stretch the last 5 weeks has been. Here's to hoping next weekend begins a new streak.

And of course the opposite happens quite often too. Especially for areas N & W of the city. People only remember the ones SNE cashes in on. When their to far east and in the warmer air everyone forgets those, especially in southern coastal CT, RI and MA.

I can't believe that, I ended up with 8, although I do vaguely remember the heavier precip all around you from that storm but never getting to you. One of the weirder radars I've ever seen if I'm thinking of the correct storm. March 2018 was 43.4 inches for me, the Highland Mills Monroe area seemed to jackpot every storm that month of course topped off with 5.8 on April 2nd. 50 inches in 30 days I shouldn't complain, but I would rather it had happened in December or January and not March.

The highest storm total I saw was 36 inches and it was only one place, The airport at St. Johns was a little shy of 31 inches. Maybe some are confusing the cm totals with inches.

Good to hear, based on this I'm putting 10,000 on the Chiefs today

Temperatures up to 25.7° and it looks like the accumulating snow is over. Final tally is 2.7 inches bringing the seasonal to 18.8 inches. Was expecting about 4-5 so a little disappointed, especially since temps stayed as cold as they did throughout.

They ended up with 27 inches, at least that's what their daily total was yesterday I'm not sure what the storm total was. The big thing there was the winds which were 50-70 in areas Drifts are over 10 feet. Also I don't know what they already had OTG before this storm started. Newfoundland is definitely a snow lover and Nor'easter lovers paradise.

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.

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.

Hang gliding?

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.
