Central Park really forgot to measure that December event, it was around half an inch pretty much everywhere near the water and in the city. LGA measured it, JFK also messed it up.

1-3, 2-4, 3-6..... dont care let's go for the futility record 6-12..... 50/50 (could go either way) 12+ ...... Let's go for the first footer in March in many decades!

Here's my thinking on getting the new snowfall record....if March is only going to have a 1-3 or 2-4 annoying little storm then might as well get the new snowfall record. I'm torn about 4-8 because that would be interesting though still not big but much bigger than anything this season. But if we're going to get a foot or more of snow, then it's worth it not to get the futility record. But not for some piddly little 1-3 or 2-4 event.

We're not going by temperatures though, we're going by snowfall. If you want to include March temps then no winter tops 2011-12 which was far warmer, even than 2001-02. These kinds of winters have become more common now.

Not since the 50s.....unless you want to count 1993 which changed to rain here, although 1992-93 wasn't total crap.

we can't say "much snowier" yet, March is very much a hit or miss month here

For average temperature or snowfall amount? How close is it?

Population is already in the process of stabilizing and that is a good thing-- for environmental, health and ecological reasons. It's a good thing. Unless you plan on colonizing space, the same laws that apply to other species also apply to humanity.

Don, there's still a chance that what we've gotten is going to be it for the season. That would keep this season as #1 in futility.

Having a historically low snowfall season is still in play.

You're talking about the weekend of the 11th right?

we need 3 years of El Nino to balance it out

Do you think we'd get more of those bowling ball systems (they aren't SWFE if they go straight west to east south of us) if we had a +PNA? In March the -PNA isn't supposed to matter as much because of shorter wavelengths but this is near record levels like you said. I'm trying to remember the last time we had one, can't come up with it.

what happened to those bowling ball systems that used to go straight west to east without cutting to the northeast? We used to get a few of those every winter, they usually exited the coast around the Virginia Capes and they were dependable for 4-6 inches of snow.

I consider December 1992 to be the storm of the century, it had FAR greater impacts, the city was wrecked in the wake of that storm.

I wonder what that tastes like Probably nothing like cookies and cream though it'll probably be crunchy.

double rainbow!

You should definitely get them back, they are my favorite color and remind me of my dad who used to plant them in our front yard!

Wow these are my favorite color! In our mildest winter they start coming up at the end of February!

But this storm is key to getting the 'big one' if indeed that happens. People just need to be a little patient.

I checked these out-- wild that the Northern Lights (and pink colored at that!) were visible as far south as Vernon, NJ and Erie, PA! I wonder what kind of camera settings are needed to capture these? Others in this list were from as far south as Missouri and Oklahoma! The best ones were of course from Scandanavia, the happiest place on Earth lol. https://spaceweathergallery2.com/index.php?&title=aurora&starting_point=0 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193381 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193317 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193266 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193125 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193290 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193535 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193525 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193514 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193511 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193510 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193492 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193316 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193487

It's probably not windmills or wind turbines, but whales are going further north than normal because of warmer waters and entering busier shipping lanes and getting into accidents.

it's why I hate skyscrapers. fortunately, we are changing the way we build them, using more opaque glass and turning the lights off at night so as not to interfere with night flying birds.

Newport Beach? Isn't that near LA in the OC? It's awesome they deserve it. Snow looks dirty here anyway lol

and it was so nice and sunny this morning
