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.

Looks like most trees are budding now and some forsythia are blooming. The pink magnolia trees have large buds and look about ready to bloom too. I've seen early starts before but forsythia before Valentines day or the Super Bowl is a first. Besides the 36 hr cold snap I don't think I've had any period of several consecutive hrs below freezing since Dec. Looking at the early/mid Feb sun reflecting off the yellow flowers is relaxing and horrific at the same time lol. A college trip to Buffalo was my only jarring taste of winter this season.
-
May set some record highs this am. Up to 61 here. Big temp range..60 in Central Park, 42 at TEB, 51 at EWR
-
This over salting has really become a trend over the last several years. I think it really took off after that early Nov snowstorm that dropped around 6" and lead to disastrous paralyzing gridlock with people stranded overnight and even longer. After the heat some govts received its just self preservation to err on the side of caution even if it's extreme.
-
I think Jan set a record for warmest monthly min in Central Park. I believe the record was 25. We definitely didn't get that cold. 28 was the lowest?
-
This'll be our blockbuster east coast snow storm. Good old fashioned I-95 special.
-
Philly and DC might get measurable snow too. DC really got into the most steady snow but had slightly above freezing temps. Despite temps in the 20s didn't stick to pavement here. Still nice to see a coating on cars and trees.
-
Coating of snow on grassy surfaces, cars, trees here in the Bx. Pavement not so much. I forgot what it looks like for a min. The Park may finally get a couple tenths of an inch on the board.
-
Only 3 freezing or below lows for the month, and they were all marginal. You could argue NYC hasn't had a true hard freeze in Jan, which I previously wouldn't think is possible.
-
It's crazy..Jan will not have a single below normal day. Reminds me of Dec 2015. That month was more extreme warmth, but I think it had more variation than this one.
-
Mostly snow now on Fulton St but no acclumation even on grass. I've only had 4 lows at/below freezing all month and they were all barely at that. This is not usual Jan ground.
-
It's looks like mod to heavy snow from high rise windows..say above 35 stories. Walking on the street mainly rain and a slushy flake mixed in.
-
Wintry Mix in Lower Manhattan. That's being generous though, it's rain with a few wet snowflakes every so often. 95% rain
-
Wet snow in Lower Manhattan, huge pancake looking flakes
-
Lots of thunder and lightning. In an alternative universe it would of been thunder snow
-
Will Central Park get a tenth? They look just barely too west. So the streak may live on. Maybe some pockets in Queens, Bx, Westchester could get a coating. View toward Orchard beach and LI north shore looks snowier.
