Who's ready to go ice skating on the East River?

The record high temp for Jan 30 in NYC is 64 degrees (set in 2006). To be 2 degrees warmer than the record high, we would need to be 66. The high for today will be 21 degrees.

Be a man. If you say something, stick with it. Do your time. You promised you'd leave for two weeks. Do it. No one around here will respect you if you stay.

I feel bad for the people in Virginia who thought they were going to get a 40 inch snowstorm at the start of the week.

I thought you were taking two weeks off.

If we use 100:1 ratios we have a decent snowstorm

Huh. That's what my wife calls me. Now I get where she got it from.

Reminds me of December 1988. MacArthur airport reported a blizzard while NYC barely got flurries.

The crosswalks not getting shoveled is bad. In Jersey City, you need to walk onto the actual rails for the light rail to be able to walk safely at Exchange Place.

We just had a foot of snow. The Hudson River is almost frozen over. And Don is doing a pbp of the 84 hour NAM. Are we this desperate? Should we be looking at the JMA which scored a coup 20 years ago?

At least the NY Post is in RJ's corner.

And risk Weather Geek's wrath? I think not.

I love your optimism. I truly wonder though... why do we chase storms on here to just stare at different radars to look at echos and DBZ? Does anybody in here just go outside and enjoy the snow when it falls?

I heard something about the Polar Vortex coming in hot due to SSW. The usual suspects. I'm looking outside at the icy Hudson right now and wondering how much lower we can go in temperatures. Soon we're going to need icebreakers. I don't see a day above freezing in the 10 day outlook at all.
