  1. My cat passed in November. He was my best friend. Slept next to me every night. It's been tough. Sorry for your loss. Pets are family.
  2. Was bit by one here in Astoria back in late February.
  3. My family has a house in Chautauqua near Jamestown. The average yearly snowfall is 120 inches. Most of that usually comes from lake effect.
  4. I don't disagree but I will say there are buds on the trees outside my job in Manhattan from that 65 degree day back in January.
  5. I didn’t realize winter doesn’t count if it doesn’t snow.
  6. Based around the melodrama on here from the past couple of weeks I'd say the consensus would be that winter never existed in the first place. Maybe the real treasure of winter was the friends we made along the way.
  7. I will forever remember this storm because my Uber driver taking me to a wedding cut off a salt spreader whose driver, rightfully, honked and flipped us off.
  8. Made it to our country’s newest National Park today. White Sands National Park is the closest you can get to snow without being in snow. People sled down the dunes. Truly a treasure. Recommend it if you ever find yourself in that area of the country.
  9. Is it garbage or is taking a weather model output verbatim ill advised?
  10. Cold rain is the most miserable weather.
  11. I was down in Monmouth county for the storm at my sisters house. She lives about a quarter mile from Sandy Hook Bay. Couldn’t get an accurate measurement because of the drifting. There was a snow drift up the side of her house that was at least 6 feet. Her car was completely buried under a drift. High snow totals are fun but combine them with 50 mph wind gusts and it’s a completely different experience.
  12. I think this was the greatest snowstorm I’ve experienced. Never in my life have I seen snow drifts as high as with this storm.
  13. Me watching from far away when the main discussion thread devolves into global warming arguments.
  14. Your scientific insight is so valuable in this sub forum. Thank you.
  15. Took a trip to Sams Point in the Shawangunks today. Beautiful up there.
  16. .5” in Astoria after that last snow shower. Really nice snow growth.
  17. There are lots of trade offs to living in NYC, not just negatives.
  18. While I think .10 might be low balling the icing threat the actual ice accretion can be a little nuanced. Just because an inch of freezing rain falls doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll all stick to cold surfaces. Though it will be pretty cold... so idk.
  19. I’ve witnessed some bad icing events in northern NJ over the years but I don’t think I’ve ever seen over .5 inches of ice accretion. Can only imagine the damage an inch would cause.
  20. Funny enough I know a lot of people who say those same words but mean the exact opposite.
  21. Let’s have an existential discussion around the term “crushing”.
