If? Death, taxes and Metfan forecasting good patterns. It's all jokes @MJO812 don't take it too seriously.

How about multiple straight years of 2" or less? Just under 20" would be a godsend at this point. Yet another December with light to medium jacket weather around the Holidays, our new norm seemingly. Nice but also unsettling.

Crazy winds here. Like an idiot I left one of the windows open and just heard one of the vertical blinds crashing to the floor as it came off the hinge.- 489 replies

Yep. I'm in Whitestone right near the Throgs Neck Bridge, can see it right outside of my window, and it can be quite a different outcome in marginal situations than even as close as LaGuardia. It's like suburbia compared to a lot of Queens/Brooklyn.
-
December hasn't been a winter month in terms of snow (it was cold last year) since the 2000s capped off by Boxing Day '11. We've had a lot of late January-March winters since then.
-
The crazy thing is that you guys are simply spitting facts and @bluewave is arguably the most objective and knowledgeable person on this forum right up there with @donsutherland1 who is another americanwx treasure.

Flurries in Manhattan!!! Feels like a blizzard compared to last winter.
-
Yeah, '96 was projected to hammer the mid Atlantic and spare us the worst then the night before totals got bumped up higher and higher. Sort of like Boxing Day but more expensive.
-
It's legit hot in the sun here on the UHI, I'm walking outside in short sleeves for lunch. Feels unnatural for late October but par for the course in our new climate.
-
'14-'15 was my all time favorite winter so I'm picking up what you're throwing down. Endless snowpack from mid Feb to mid March with weekly 4-8 inch pack refreshers and powdery snow at that and January delivered as well. That winter was almost as rare as last winter at this latitude, you just don't get consistent snowpack winters or virtual shutouts around here.
-
Think in terms of "It can't be worse than last winter" and you'll feel better because, historically, it's almost impossible to duplicate a winter that bad.
-
Maybe not 3-5 but it's been pouring here for a while, been ou. in it, so at least locally it's living up to the hype. I don't think your area was ever supposed to get the heavy stuff. Either way, I prefer for this to just go away. I'm getting sick of the rainy weekends.
-
The models never had a big chunk of the area receiving those amounts. It's always been very localized heavy rain spots.
-
Got caught out in a downpour here. For the love of the weather gods, let this storm pattern translate to the winter.
-
For sure, this event is more localized. Just driving around a little earlier, my area of Beechhurst rarely has extreme flooding. Today is the only time I remember outside of Ida and Irene that this happened and I've been here for almost 20 years. Actually, there was one other event that I can't recall right now but it's rare around here.
-
I'll say again what I said many hours ago.... This heavy rain is relentless, closest thing I've seen to Ida outside of Ida, and now the wind is picking up as well. I don't know what it's like for you guys outside of the immediate NYC metro but this event is delivering big time around here.

Relentless heavy rain here, reminiscent of Ida.
-
It's an absolute deluge here and this isn't even the main show yet. I can't even get my dog out.
-
Yeah, it surprised me because I was anticipating late tonight for start time. I had plans to watch the football game in Oceanside tonight but it might just be Ocean by tomorrow.

Haven't checked the forecast today, was the rain supposed to arrive this early? It's coming down good in Midtown

Man, if only these storm tracks can hold this winter. Not only was last winter warm but it was boring as well.
-
Sometimes you just have to learn to take the L man.
-
The wind is the bigger story right now, it's really whipping out there. It actually feels nice because it's not that chilly until the rain starts then it gets nasty.
-
Yes but that was skewed heavily by Labor Day week being near record breaking warmth. The 2nd week of September and beyond was back closer to normal where it's been highs in the 70s for the most part. We're also in a climate now where "old normal" temps feel relatively cool because it's been so hot, especially due to the humidity, in recent years.
-
I live not far from LaGuardia which is considered one of the hot spots for morning lows and there have been many cool mornings, not just a few cool days. August had many beautiful, low humidity days. It was the Labor Day week stretch with the real hot days and that's been it for the most part for REAL summer weather in the last 4-5 weeks. Pretty close to normal temps but with much lower humidity than we've been accustomed to in recent years.
