dWave

I was hoping it wouldn't. We came this far, lets just get the record..reminds me of the late March snowfall in 1998, preventing it from least snowest season ever. March sun made quick work of those 5" too. I saw some flurries while in New Rochelle today. First snowflake I've seen this month anywhere Ive been. Took a leap yr to squeeze out a flake.

I believe LGA, JFK and ISP still have 0.0" snow for the month of Feb. If they make it through the day without a flurry, itd be the first Feb without even a trace of snow for those sites.

High of 63, now 58. but I see those 40s in southern queens, SI etc.

Except for the bone dry air. The very low humidity still leave a hint of winter feel. Dewpoint in single digits will do that. A very nice day nonetheless. More signs of spring poping up today too.

39 here, but good radiational cooling overnight elsewhere. 6am: NYC 40, JFK 30, Teterboro 26, White Plains 27, Farmingdale 27, Morristown 19, Islip 26.

Just walking around lately I've noticed those popping out the soil in random patches last week or so. Now I know im not losing it. Seems most nights stay above freezing this winter so makes sense. That forecast in the teens end of the week is gonna feel brutal if it verfies. I know this winter making me soft when upper 20s feels like an artic outbreak.

I was watching vid of that earlier. Thats pretty wild..in Feb?? Theres never been never been more than one tornado on a met winter day in that region, and thats rare enough.

First time I saw a snow blower was after the great winter of 1995-96. Until then it seemed laughable to invest in one (in/near the city) unless you owned some massive plot of land. It wasn't something that really entered in most peoples mind. After 95-96 I notice a few people buy them, only to largely sit idle for the rest of the decade. The then unprecedented 4 straight 40"+ winters in NYC arrived in the 2000s and brought them back out...if you still had it. Winters like this one I learn to take in stride. I got to experience snow amounts and frequency beyond what I ever thought possible in the city and coast during the 2000s to now. The duds are a reminder that consistently getting a parade of significant snow is not a given, and hasn't always been the case. Even last winter, for all the complaints, ended up nearly 80% of normal ( at NYC). That seems well within the expected range from year to year.

Anybody notice the air look disgusting today? At least a layer above the surface but below the tops of the tallest bldgs, i.e. 1 WTC.

After a 30 min train ride from bx to midtown its mainly sleet on 34 St. Dont know if it made it further uptown.

Ill take it even though I not 100% sure how. Estimate just over 2" here.

Mod to heavy snow, temp down to 26. Closing in on an inch. First actual acclumating snow on pavement.

Moderate snow, blowing snow 29. Coating sidewalks

Winds gone southerly here too now..SSE. temp up to 28 and little peaks of sun actually.

Dec 2015 is safely the most absurd month imo. It never went below freezing in the city. Its insane to get though Dec without getting down to 32 for even a few mins. If it was Nov it still would be considered a warm month. Despite lacking the drama or destructiveness of a major storm, taken as a whole, Dec 2015 to me is one the most remarkable weather events in our history.

Windswept rain and snow in lower Manhattan

97-98 had 0.5" until a surprise 5" snowfall in late March, preventing that winter from having the record lowest snowfall.

lol at cherry blossoms? I know there are a few varieties that can have a 2nd bloom in fall if the conditions are right, but Jan? I'd think the sun isnt strong enough yet regardless of temp. hit 69, went on a bike ride, felt great albeit it windy at times. Sat under a southern magnolia tree and for a sec felt like I was in South Carolina lol

lol I was wondering where the hell did it go. Vanished at the Hudson river. Does look like just north of the city may of got a little something. At the GWB though it just fell apart. Temp is 66 but dewpoint falling into the 50s, with a few breaks in the clouds.

7am...67 dew 63, rain/tstorms incoming

High 68 here. Now cloudy, down to 62.

Partly sunny 65, dew 55. wind is picking up

Brilliant sunshine! Up to 60. If the sun stays out we'll past forecast temps very soon.

Sun coming out now...Partly cloudy 58, dew 50
