  1. It's been cloudy all morning, the sun just came out 15 minutes ago so not much meltage today either.
  2. You have a lot less snow than we do here Thats a surprise
  3. wow what the hell you have a lot less snow than we do, we have about 80% coverage here
  4. to be fair though these storms usually happen after the holidays. you rarely get them in December
  5. its fine here on the south shore too, no one really cares if there's snow on the roads, sidewalks or driveways, as long as there's snow on natural surfaces like grass it's good.
  6. Same as here. It's fine because it snowed yesterday and before that on Saturday. By the weekend this snow will be a memory with rain and temps in the 50s.
  7. That 2002 report is wrong they got it backwards, they wrote there was 5 inches of snow that changed to rain.... it was actually rain that changed to snow.
  8. Tony, is the departure at JFK much less because it was warmer at JFK or because the mean December temperature at JFK is lower? I noticed the mean December temperature at Central Park is over 37 now-- it used to be around 36!
  9. Tony what was the low at JFK on Christmas morning 1980? I noticed it's not included in the records (which was set there 3 years later in 1983.)
  10. Unfortunately the 2010 storm started on the day after Christmas (like the 1947 storm), had they both occurred just a day earlier they would have been even more memorable.
  11. we should include 1947 too Tony, that was one of our largest snowstorms of all time
  12. I wonder if it all fell in less than an hour (was it a snow squall?)
  13. White Christmas here too, I don't care about the artificial crap like roads, sidewalks and driveways but my yard is 80% covered with snow, so that qualifies.
  14. wild about 1980, what was the temperature when that 1 inch of snow fell? it was also our coldest Christmas. It's the first Christmas I actually remember lol.
  15. It's officially a white Christmas for Central Park and I consider it one here too since we have at least 80% snowcover (outside of concrete sidewalks asphalt roads and driveways, etc.) Artificial crap doesn't count.
  16. yep, here too, don't care about roads, driveways and sidewalks, they are artificial anyway, everything else is at least 80% snowcovered
  17. I noticed that this morning. My back yard is mostly covered with snow but where there are plants or near the boundaries with trees you can see *dark spots*. It's officially a white Christmas for Central Park and I consider it one here too since we have at least 80% snowcover (outside of concrete sidewalks asphalt roads and driveways, etc.)
  18. Actually hit 42 degrees a few minutes ago, late day high, just before it started to get darker.
  19. well the sun is going down now or at least it's low enough now that it looks pretty dark outside. It hit 40 here.
  20. and thats also when the peak influence of the solar max would be in the next 2 winters.
  21. Thanks, I didn't know about the trees, I thought trees would actually create more shade and keep snow from melting-- talking about evergreens of course. At least in the summer, it's always cooler near the shade of trees.
  22. That whole DJFM was pretty good, cold+snow at least one nice event in all 4 months.
  23. It does seem like January 2009 would be a good analog, smaller events but long duration snow cover with the cold.
  24. we all made it to 3.0" or above Don, the Park is close enough at 2.8"
