    Eyeballing 3-4" here in Whitestone, beautiful outside with the snow sticking to everything. It looks like the NW suburbs overachieved due to colder temps and higher ratios so everybody cashed in and should be happy.

    Light snow, just starting to stick a bit on the car tops.

    Your posts in this thread have been ridiculous. As has been stated numerous times, the snow wasn't supposed to pick up until after midnight.

    Really liking the trends for us in the immediate metro and when Forky is giving the go ahead that perks my ears up even more. 3-5 seems like a good call with some local higher amounts probably out east. It's funny how perspective changes, from 2000-2018 a storm like this would barely be a blip on the radar but nowadays this is pretty exciting, brings me back to my youth in the 90s when any moderate storm was a big deal.

    "Puking Snow" is one of my favorites....for 1/2 inch an hour

    Has the long term decline been unmistakable? It's been a drought over the last 5 years but that was following an 18 year period of one of the snowiest eras ever recorded in the metro area. What's unmistakable is the warming temperatures but I don't think a 5 year period is enough of a sample size to declare that snowfall is now in a long term decline.

    It's what I would qualify as light snow in Manhattan. What a beautiful sight

    Because it's harder to wake up when it's dark for most people I'd imagine, for me at least, and I think most people would rather see some light when leaving for work in the morning.

    Thank God for that. Leaving the house at 6:30 to darkness is not fun.

    I actually think the slight east jog is a tiny blessing as Negril and Montego Bay might get spared the absolute worst in terms of wind, the rain is going to be a big story either way.

    It looks like it's actually expanding as it approaches Jamaica, fascinating and frightening all at once.

    Long springs, long summers, short falls and winters have been the theme of the 2020s. Even early October is part of extended summer nowadays.

    Did you see the scenes in Queens? You don't want that

    Yep, been pouring here the last 45 minutes with plenty of lightning and thunder. Concerning trends based on the radar and what we're hearing from our friends west of us
  15. kat5hurricane
    Huge downpour in Whitestone with very gusty winds, no lightning or thunder. Edit: Winds are insane now and thunder commencing Edit #2: And now it's over 5 minutes later. Very Florida-like storm

    Just had the longest hottest 5 minute wait at the bus stop ever, no shade with the late afternoon sun beating down on us. Hell on earth.

    Feels real cold this morning. Longing for the warm, sunny days.
  18. kat5hurricane
    Was outside about a half hour ago and the temperature dropped like a rock within.a matter of seconds. Don't remember ever experiencing that
  19. kat5hurricane
    It was the end of our Golden Era of snow 2000-2018, feels like a lifetime ago now. 6 of 7 have been below normal since then and well below normal at that. Only 2 notable months in those 7 years, Feb 21 and Jan 22. Been some real lean times in the snowfall department. Even in a relatively cold winter like this one, only roughly 10-20 inches locally.
  20. kat5hurricane
    Had a Spring being right around the corner feel today, feels like it's been a long relatively cold winter compared to so many warm winters in the last decade so needless to say that today felt really nice, made me feel more alive. Long story short, bring on Spring.
  21. kat5hurricane
    It's been a pretty decent winter all things considered. Not a blockbuster by any means to say the least and some wasted potential but it's like a funeral in here as if this is '11-'12.
  22. kat5hurricane
    This logical post will get lost among a sea of winter cancel posts sadly. Still too early to dismiss this

    This just isn't true at all. Every model but the GFS was showing a massive hit just last night. In fact, the CMC was a huge interior hit as well. Bad trends today but lets not act like there wasn't a near consensus of a major storm just 24 hours ago. I'm still not counting this thing out, we'll have to wait for this current storm to get out of the way then we'll get a better sampling of the next storm. I'm not going to discount it when most of the major models had a huge storm for a few days prior to this one.
  24. kat5hurricane
    Yep lol, exactly this. It's the same way I am, the thrill and anxiety of model watching leading up to a big event is almost more memorable than the event itself. Boxing Day 2010 in particular was one of the biggest thrill rides that I remember, the exhilaration particularly at 0z on Christmas Eve when the models brought it back was on another level.
  25. kat5hurricane
    Some people jumping ship way too early, it's kind of silly actually. Again, most models were showing a huge storm just last night so it's way too early to give up after one model suite (I hardly count the 18z models which tend to have wonky solutions). IF the trend continues tonight then more concern should be had but even then it'll still be too early to make any sweeping statements about what will happen.
