Yeah I'm not a fan of the super low humidity. Its not as bad as yday though. Might be an asthma thing but when humidity gets down to 15% or 10% it feels like breathing knives. There's some brush fires in NJ suspending train service between Penn Station and Trenton
-
Sunny and 64. The bone dry dew point still leaves a little chill to it in the shade or breeze. 12* dp, 15% humidity
-
Nah it was a legit 5"+ snowfall, on pavement and everything even in the 5 boros. It fells mostly overnight. It just didn't very long. The sun came out in the morning and destroyed that snow through out the day. Any piles remaining were gone with record heat in the 80s to end the month.
-
Got a rain snow mix now, on TV I see the more steady wet snow in Manhattan as well as traffic cams approaching GWB. .76" rain here, T snow
-
I havent seen a single flake, not that it would amount to anything anyway. Central Park, EWR, Teterboro reporting snow. LGA, JFK reporting rain.
-
They miss snow sometimes, but there really was basically nothing this time. 0.1" might be generous tbh. Maybe a slushy coating on a few car tops, but snow sticks to cars even easier than grassy surfaces, I don't think of cars as a valid measurement. Even if you did it would just be a tenth or so.
-
There was some around Foley Sq and City Hall. Lots of slush and I could see shoveled snow. In such marginal events the small things make a difference. Like a steam pipe runs under one street and not another. Also high profile locations get super vigilant about snow removal. You need to leave that initial base layer alone to acclumate on top when its above freezing. Plus this was a grassy surfaces type storm. So it'll be winter wonderland in the large parks and look like a rainy day in some actual neighborhoods. At least the other boros have small backyards where it sticks and it can build out from there. Midtown can be even worse than lower Manhattan.

7am LGA 2.7" JFK 1.5" EWR ?
-
Looks like a east west gradient. I measured about 2.5", 3" in a few spots. This is near Pelham Pkwy. Drove to New Rochelle and its a little less snow, at least right on the Sound. 1.5" estimate. Heavy and wet to move though might as well be 6"
-
What part of the Bx is that?
-
Yes he did..looks like it too. Maybe an inch. Don't know where they were exactly.
-
I have that too, down side it doesn't detect snow at all. Mine was showing heavy rain too but it really was raining. In the Bx Going back and forth between heavy sleet and rain. Some sleet coatings on cars but melting faster than it can pile up. 36*
-
Driving btwn Co op city bx and New Rochelle, light snow to light snow/sleet mix to a steady rain and sleet now
-
Yup, and you'd need that amount on pavement not grassy surfaces. Just about 0% chance unless it suddenly gets 5 degrees colder. Since it's remote learning they may lower the bar?
-
Yeah, White Plains isn't very good for the Bx or even for some of urban southern Westchester either. HPN isn't actually in the city of White Plains but a wooded area straddling the CT border. The low temps can be a bit colder than downtown White Plains. An offical site at the Zoo would be nice, or NYBG. Bx Zoo does have a PWS (maybe 2). They use it for the zip line/treetop adventure area they have now, and weather conditions are important for operations. From what I've seen it seems pretty accurate. It's very similar to LGA, which is 4 -5 miles due south anyway. Slightly cooler at night sometimes but not significantly so, which makes sense.
-
Oh..that a feature of the phone but I had to take a screenshot of the pic to make the file size fit here. Thats just on the screenshot it won't work for real here. It would of been a mini video. I did just get a dusting of snow on grassy surfaces here from a nice band of snow.
-
O snap..moderate snow, and starting to dust the grass. Already biggest snowfall of the yr
-
Lots of budding for sure. Some Cherry blossoms have bloomed too. Lasts night low 20s, dropped some though. Any flowers you'd typically see sprouting up in March to early Apr started showing up soon after that brief early Feb artic cold shot. Around the city, this winter has been almost devoid of freezing lows temps outside of 2 short cold shots Here's lower Manhattan near 1 PP yday.
-
I touched 70 under cloudy skies all day, that might be more impressive than Feb 2018 which was later in the month and under full sunshine all day if I remember right. It sounds like some places are getting decent sunshine today which must really feel good with 70+. It's splitting hairs anyway...warm or more warm
-
Cloudy skies..some brightening coming through, 67.

It was just normal to me then because that's all I knew. That's partly what made the blizzard of 96 so epic. It truly felt like a once in a lifetime event, and was the only time many NYC students experienced a "snow day"...which turned out to be 3 I think." For people who's basis of normal is the 2000s, the bar is so high and the sting of dud winters feels even worse. When the unprecedented (at the time) 4 straight 40"+ winters came it was an era of snow heaven lol, but growing up in the 90s I was too scarred to get comfortable, it always felt like living on borrowed time. I enjoy it but try not to expect it. After 95-96 winter, was the first time I noticed people getting snow blowers in the city, only for them to sit dormant the rest of the decade.
