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. -
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.
-
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.
-
yep, here too, don't care about roads, driveways and sidewalks, they are artificial anyway, everything else is at least 80% snowcovered
-
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.)
-
Actually hit 42 degrees a few minutes ago, late day high, just before it started to get darker.
-
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.
-
and thats also when the peak influence of the solar max would be in the next 2 winters.
-
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.
-
close to 40 here too
-
That whole DJFM was pretty good, cold+snow at least one nice event in all 4 months.
-
It does seem like January 2009 would be a good analog, smaller events but long duration snow cover with the cold.
-
we all made it to 3.0" or above Don, the Park is close enough at 2.8"
-
yes the 25th is the day to sleep, today is defacto Christmas
-
Staten Island is the city jackpot with 1.5"
-
round it to 3 and we're good.
-
wow JFK 0.5 and LGA 0.4 significantly lower than the Park, but it does get all airport locations near the city to 3.0" or higher!
-
I wonder what the airports got? Whatever fell is completely gone since the sun has been out strongly for the past 2 hours now.
-
1.0, sometimes I worry with these *exact* inch amounts, they look like estimates.
-
yup bright and sunny since 12:30
-
If January 2009 is a possible analog, I'd expect a few small to moderate sized snowfall events but long duration snowcover because of the cold.
-
I wasn't aware that 2008-09 was a possible analog for this season. We did have snowy bouts in in all four wintry months DJFM that season. Nothing huge (except for that one MECS we had on March 1st, still my largest March snowstorm lol.)
-
Does this mean it will probably stick around to later in the season than normal too?
-
I wish there was a device that was permanently mounted in the ground that would save the deepest depth of snow during a given storm. I know it wouldn't be the best way to measure snow but such an automated device would be far better than what they do there now. Snowfall measuring is the one weather thing that still requires a human, might as well automate it too.
-
I'm sure next year's severe and tropical season will be more active than this one was.
