Surprised to see the ground covered in Wading River with a slushy 1/2” - wasn’t expecting anything out here in eastern Suffolk. 39F with some drizzle now.
-
The warming trend is pretty clear on that chart though.
-
Problem is those warm periods are accompanied by wash-outs which make the conditions in the East pretty poor. Can't really see how in a warmer future snowmaking helps a small East coast resort overcome the elevation advantage and proximity to the pac moisture the west has. Last couple years were anomalously bad but Belleayre isnt out-snowmaking Breckenridge.

Hard to imagine NYC under 30 for a winter again. Burlington Vt didn’t even average under 30 degrees this year.
-
About 1500’ elevation about seven miles from Gore. Indian lake area and north definitely still hanging onto snow better. Shame to see it change.
-
Could be. Late 90’s I lived in Mt Sinai and worked in Flushing and certainly don’t remember Flushing feeling snowier. But overall BNL’s stats show busts under 10” have become much more common. Can’t see that changing unless the background warming somehow does. Our place in the Adirondacks can’t even hold snowcover through core winter anymore.

Depends on how you define 'nothing'. Using BNL's snowfall stats (right next to us in Wading River) - from when their record starts in 1947 through 1990 there was only one year with under 10" of snowfall. Since 1990 there have been 7. That definitely seems like a change.

Agreed. Maybe I’d go C- as the week in January along with this one managed to feel wintry. But two weeks out of 12 doesn’t cut it. Nice snow shower at the moment in wading river, 31f

Refresher snow & obs between ~midnight and Noon Sat Feb 17 2024

2” in wading river, Suffolk north shore. Missed the better totals but snow on snow is always a good thing Probably wind up with 7 days of snowcover from this stretch, just like the January stretch. Gives this year some separation from some of the worst. -

Up to 6” on the deck in wading river - after a slow start the Suffolk band has delivered. Still looks like potential for another 1 or 2”. Satisfying event in any year. Outstanding in this one. -

Just under 1” in Wading River, north shore Suffolk. Snow had been light to moderate. 32 degrees. Neighborhood street covered. -
Over to sleet in Wading River - 2.25” on the deck. It’s something.

Two Mdt to high impact events NYC subforum; wknd Jan 6-7 Incl OBS, and mid week Jan 9-10 (incl OBS). Total water equiv by 00z/11 general 2", possibly 6" includes snow-ice mainly interior. RVR flood potential increases Jan 10 and beyond. Damaging wind.
