It was my first ever snowstorm memory. I only wish I could experience it again, but even at the age of 8 I was calling 976-1212 every hour for updates (to my parents chagrin) and woke up at 3 am to see the snow falling in the streetlamps on Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn where I lived at the time.

-15 in the Poconos too, wow

This was their February 1978

10 inches of snow in the Florida Panhandle wow. close to a foot near New Orleans

Much cheaper to make though. Probably like the WWE is scripted (that's on there now too.)

Long Island in the Bahamas has a higher chance of snow than Long Island, NY lol

I wonder where in Florida? How come no snowfall in Jacksonville?

This is why scripted TV shows are being replaced with *reality TV* too. As one example, nearly all of the scripted TV shows on CW11 have been replaced with reality shows, usually involving police car chases or reality dating shows.

or May I guess. We had snowtober but that wasn't a blizzard, though NYC did have a Winter Storm Warning, I never thought I'd see that in October lol.

Smart.... mine is corded all over my yard and I'm always worried about squirrels gnawing at the cords.

But is all this necessary if you don't keep it in the sun? I always keep my sensors on the north side of the house under the shade of a tree. I haven't felt the need for fan aspiration or any of that stuff or even a radiation shield.

Is this more rare than the April 1982 Blizzard? Can't talk about sun angle, that snow stuck around for an entire week and we had another snow event a week later.

8 inches now!! https://x.com/DylanFedericoWX/status/1881810505725317518

the digital stuff is quite accurate regardless of price, I got a very cheap one from Radio Shack back in 1995 that shows min/max temp and current temp to a tenth of a degree (C) or two tenths of a degree (F) and it matches up well with JFK. Then I got a relatively inexpensive digital weather station in 2005 from LaCrosse and I'm impressed with its accuracy in measuring barometric pressure, temperature, rainfall, humidity, windspeed, etc. I could never get those old aneroid barometers to show me the right air pressure and liquid thermometers never showed the right temperature either. I'm convinced those old instruments from back in the 80s were just gimmicks.

Very close to January 2016 out this way, we had 32 inches of snow on 3.00" of liquid

bad measurements + urban heat island is much worse in March

Nice I was going to ask about this. Did JFK get a similar amount of liquid? I'm amused that JFK got more snow than NYC in both March 1993 and February 1994 (second storm) even though both were changeover storms.

whats causing the degradation?

Yes, it reminds me of February 1989.....

it sounds like the perfect climate lol

the dryness is a continuation of what was established last fall.

it's been happening for the last 3 years though, this thing has a cycle that we haven't identified yet. Maybe AMO related.

honestly, it's far more historic for them, let them enjoy it, it would be just a moderate snowstorm up here anyway

Tom Niziol calls it the Gulf of America multiple times lol https://x.com/TomNiziol/status/1881678135307260370

that's correct and it will continue through next spring and summer.
