Lowest temperature I was able to find in our area was 26 at Toms River. Even KFOK was at 31, no radiational cooling at all. Maybe well NW of us it's in the teens? Good news, looks like both Monday and Tuesday next week will be warm and sunny and in the lower 70s.

I agree with you, I only know a few people who clear a snowboard every 6 hours. Maybe the NWS just wanted everyone to use the same method so they told everyone to just measure the snow at the end of the storm (or just after it changes over in a mixed event) because they knew most wouldn't bother to measure every 6 hours and clear a board?
-
it's going to snow in the Poconos from this?
-
why doesn't this ever happen in the winter anymore and all snow ? and also, what happened to that strong pac jet ?
-
We could standardize it by simply using a sliding scale snowfall to liquid ratio depending on temperatures. It won't always be accurate but it will be consistent.
-
why can't we just adjust these storms with a sliding scale snow to liquid ratio based on temperatures during the storm? Chris, offhand do you have a list of the top 5 liquid equivalent all snow events? January 2016 must be number one, it was 3 inches LE at JFK.
-
January 1996 was also vastly underestimated, especially at NYC.
-
Hopefully JFK does too, I'd be extremely disappointed if they don't. Snow made it into the Poconos and Hudson Valley on lake effect streamers! I wonder if any accumulations were reported anywhere?

Let's celebrate the last freeze of the season! Pop some champagne at sunrise!
-
Wow, I love this sunset image. Have you ever seen pink snow? I have on two occasions-- January 2004 (sunrise) and February 2009 (sunset). Heavy falling snow turns pink through a sunrise or sunset.

Our best Arctic outbreaks that I can remember are: January 1977 Christmas 1980 January 1982 January 1984 January 1985* January 1994 February 2016 *this was our top Arctic outbreak
-
You live in a great radiational cooling area, I'm envious. We only get cold air here via CAA. Our temps closely match JFK.

Records:Highs:EWR: 88 (1991)NYC: 90 (1991)LGA: 89 (1991)JFK: 82 (1959)Lows:EWR: 23 (1982)NYC: 25 (1982)LGA : 25 (1982)JFK: 26 (1982) This was the earliest 90 on record before 2010. Is this the widest gap between record high and record low in the NYC record? I love this wide variance.

too bad no snow
-
I'm actually excited about it. I'm all about temperature extremes-- both high and low. It's rare now to get temperatures in the 20s this late. Lets see if we can get below 30, 32 is a lock.
-
Yankees home opener April 1996 was a classic and one of my favorites of all time! We had 4 inches of snow here.
-
it's absolutely amazing especially considering how much snow and cold there was in 2013-14 and 2014-15 (likely from the -EPO). We have other snowy/cold winters since then too, another example was 2017-18 (cold and snowy in January and March and even early April) and 2020-21.
-
Flagstaff, Arizona might be a better choice. Lots of snow + no light pollution = great starry skies !
-
That said, cheer up! It's bright and sunny and gorgeous blue skies! This is a lot better than rain or even just clouds at any temperature!
-
mountains near san diego get more snow than we do heh
-
any similarities between that and 2017-18?
-
what made 2010-11 so cold and so snowy in a moderate to strong la nina? we had very strong nao blocking for 2 years (2009-10 and 2010-11), maybe there was a carryover effect (la ninas after el ninos tend to be snowy.)
-
That's very interesting, we used to have a lot of below zero temperatures right up to the 80s. Since then it's only been in 1994 and 2016 that it happened and that's it. We used to average a below zero temperature every other year, now it's like once a decade lol.
-
It makes me wonder if it is happening at a slower rate well inland vs on our coasts (obviously Florida is a flaw in that theory lol.) Other factors could be that a stronger la nina encourages a stronger SE Ridge which would explain why they are not usually very cold. Something I've noticed with la ninas is that they encourage more huggers/runners (because of the stronger SE Ridge). But if a la nina happens after an el nino we tend to get more snow.
-
Maybe because of CC or some other factors, the area of extreme cold is becoming much smaller with time?
