Even with the cool down coming for next week, I think we might be done with freezing temps. This morning might have been our last freeze here.

Don even with the April we have going even if we have a temporary reversal at the end of the month it would be hard to believe that we'd get any more snow (measurable or otherwise) or even freezing temps near the end of the month.

Download Yoweather it's free and amazing (works on both desktop and phones)- gives you a graphic and interactive user interface of weather conditions around the world (and uses international METAR info to collect the data.)

Yeah after 2-4 or 3-6 inches of snow all day Saturday and another possible snow event Tuesday-Wednesday!

Whenever I tune in to TWC I see something I don't like.

I'm on the eastern edge of the 9-14 right there ;-) Ch 7 ABC has a similar 10-14" with me also on the eastern edge of the highest totals.

30.4" peak depth, 32.8" measured snowfall airport official numbers were 28" peak depth, 30.7" measured snowfall, 2.94" LE (so between 10:1 and 11:1) And congrats on the upcoming wedding! :-)

Nice Ray ;-) You're in lala land like I was after I got my 30" storm in Jan 2016. I bet you took lots of pics too I filled up 2 32 GB cards with photos and videos.

I'm just going to put this here since there's no other relevant thread for it- who is the fool that decided that DST should be moved from late April- late Oct to weird second week of March to early November? It must have been made for the South because no way any one is planting anything here in March. late April-late Oct was a perfect fit for us because it was a symmetric six months and fit in perfectly with our snow season and our planting season. Instead we now have to deal with DST for the majority of March and it even interferes with the NYC marathon which is run the Sunday of the time change in early November. Also, it saves NOTHING, since most of us get up at like 5-6 am to get ready for school or work and the sun doesn't come up until after 7 am- IN MARCH! So thank you to the lame brains that decided that DST should be moved into March. We now wake up in total darkness and waste electricity for 2 hours in the "morning" instead of wasting it for 2 hours in the "evening"- great job by our stupid politicians, as usual.

Interesting that TWC lowered their totals for NYC from 8-12 to 3-5 and are now saying very little will fall east of there.

not really- TWC calling for 6-8" for NYC and Long Island

What does TWC have for you now? I have a feeling they might up totals again in the morning. Last I saw was 6" here but I'm not taking that seriously lol.

Lee Goldberg going with 6-9" for NYC and 9-12" right from the Queens/Nassau Border on east.

lol I didn't even see this but when I saw what the NAM did, it instantly reminded me of the Jan 2016 snowstorm and how it won that one. More dynamic systems are the NAMs strong suit. Also he seems to be completely ignoring the 21 inches printed out over central Long Island lol and 17 inches just a few miles south of us.

Usually an inhouse blend of different models, at least that's what the weather channel says lol. I find it comical that Julie Martin uses the label meteorologist when she can't even pronounce cyclogenesis properly or even describe it without stumbling over the words.

Going to take pics of it, JC? I wonder if you can capture sea smoke rising from the river at night while the stars are sparkling overhead. Cold and dry is terrific for AP!

So were the 70s. The only great winter in the 70s was 1978, outside of that it was either cold and dry or mild and dry or mild and wet lol. Outside of 1977 even the summers in the 70s were boring.

You get that a lot in winters where we have a lot of mixed events (like 93-94 and 13-14). 15-16 though we had 70% of our snow in one storm (30 inches in Jan 2016 storm.) I think 14-15 New England got the jackpot every time (except eastern LI shared in the jackpot in the Jan 2015 storm.) Another winter like that was 2004-05, except we did a bit better with the Jan 2005 storm than we did with the Jan 2015 storm (except for eastern LI) 2003-04 was another example, cold almost like 1993-94 but more snow than ice (but snowfall total was less than 1993-94 because the events were less frequent.)

Almost sounds like black ice! The fog condensed on the ground and down you went lol.

Looks so much like the Millenium storm someone should pull out maps of that one.

lol at this rate it will be Jan 2

That is the best kind of snow, especially for Christmas. Would like the sun to come out a bit later in the afternoon though so it doesn't melt

15 years is a shockingly long time though, seems like no one is interested, or maybe people just haven't heard about it.

Why aren't they disclosing info? Are they leery of crowds of people going there?

I wasn't even aware that people lived in that area back then, I'll have to go take a look. Is this close to Stony Point? I go there pretty regularly so I definitely want to stop by. They'd probably be Native Americans if anything I don't think Druids crossed the Atlantic. But it's pretty intriguing. If Thor Heyerdahl could cross the Pacific in Kon-Tiki I guess it's possible. Sometimes I wonder what conventional or mainstream means anymore lol. It just seems like knowledge that is open to revision with more information. I was watching Nova a few months ago and they were showing proof in Brazil that ancient Phoenicians escaped from burning Carthage and reached the depths of the Amazon in Brazil by sailing up the Amazon after crossing the Atlantic. They built these huge structures in the rain forest that bear symbols on the walls that resemble Phoenician. I was amazed when I saw all that, I had thought all the residents of Carthage were shamelessly destroyed by the Romans when the city was burned to the ground. But the Phoenicians were renowned sailors, the best in the known world at the time, so I guess it's possible.
