Brooklyn almost always goes to mix at the tail end of a storm when precip lightens. It has to be absolutely perfect for it not to happen. Southern most point along an Ocean and Bay in an UHI. Just geography and science at work.

Accuweather just jumped me from 3-6 to 6-10. I think everyone needs to calm down.

Youre crazy then. Im 20 north and have 0 concerns. Zero. these guys on here are all talking themselves into a nut job mode. A week out they were convinced. 24 hours out with a snowstorm on the way they cant sign on the line. Every storm and its crazy. You mark my words the biggest cash in tomorrow is going to be around 287. But all get something

I fly in there all the time. Its not a matter of getting in anymore in 2025 with the airlines. It is social media publicity and liability. Big storm headed to NY area with a double digit snowfall possible? The airline is going to shutdown ops hours early and stay closed til the next day. 100% sure that cancels.

They cant be like the razors edge of emotions in this forum dude. They are a govt agency that people depend on for stability of information. At some point they have to convey to millions of people that a major winter storm will be threatening the region tomorrow that will make travel difficult and potentially life threatening and they dont need the noise of 1-2 inch differences between each model run to undermine that obligation.

Who is they? We are they! Fluffy snow is cold drier snow. If snow is flirting with changeover, its wetter, more dense

We made this mistake on the storm on Tuesday…swap the snowfall amounts for NYC and Yonkers

this morning has a weird feel to it weatherwise. there’s snow on the ground with a stiff wind, but its a warm wind. 42F

Drive a mile south and youll see it isnt nonsense at all

This is where experience and gut comes in. Youre not gonna get accumulations in the day, concrete jungle with temps in the mid/upper 30s from a warm front. People push narratives on here, but the weather always shakes out factually

Full snow cover in Hastings even on roads. South of Cross County nothing. Sorry CPK guys, too warm this go around.

This^

dr Not you. The guy you responded to haha

Can we get rid of this guy on here? This is supposed to be an intelligent weather forum. I have snowpiles on my lawn and I need to read this moron telling us on 12/21 that we are done with snow for the winter? Why are we tolerating posts like this?

Are we really talking about a 4 inch snowstorm in NYC metro off a warm front with marginal cold to start? Hey, I hope it works!

To play devils advocate, LGA has the same low measurement. They both seem low, but support each other

Remember the year with lots of snow on the ground until the 23 and gone by xmas? That was the ultimate kick in the balls. Lots of ice on the roads 31F

look at the bright side, we are a cool spot!

Do you need model guidance for that? Look at any common weather app on your phone…it has been there for days. December is done

It was brief and intense. Less than 5 mins.

I saw that dark blob out there and went to the radar…what a day for early May!

of course there’s nostalgia and Rose colored glasses. Was there a guarantee of a cutter with 55 to 60 every Christmas week? absolutely not Was there snow on the ground many more days because the temperature was colder whatever we got and I’m talking in the five boroughs…hell yes When we went from snow to rain or had a rain on top of snow, was it often in the mid 40s and did we finish with snow cover afterwards? Yes Drastically different climate, particularly for some odd reason in the last two weeks of December. I say it every year: if you are a betting man, bet 50 over 30 on xmas day

this isn’t like the old days where you went up to 44 with rain. 60F nothing sticking around. We cut nowadays it turns into April

absolutely pouring out. I think the next storm we are really dealing with is a cutter on the 26th. that’s like a week out anything beyond that is fantasyland sadly
