    That’s not what I read. I don’t want to swear by it, but it seems like the castle was there without an issue. There was concern that they wouldn’t have enough ice, but they did and they finished it the day before.

    Guess changing around that Winter Carnival was a good thing!

    where are you in the Adirondacks? It seems like you have to be in the high peaks area now to really hold snow up there.

    having a house in Queens and a house in wading River, you were much more likely to have a stabilized snowfall regime in Queens then in Wading River in the 1990s. That started to go crazy with super heavy snowfalls along the coast as we got into the 2000s.

    it isn’t linear with Central Park. Jfk is very influenced by the water, and as somebody that lived in wading river for most of his life, I could tell you that it wasn’t unusual to have an all or nothing type winter. The water is always too warm for snow. what has changed since the 1990s is that the “inland” urban stations are much warmer. And the types of snowfall we get are now from the water, larger storms pulling in cold air. Less frequent and stronger. It Rearranges the deck chairs on the titanic. There’s a high possibility that if you are adjacent to the coast you could jackpot. we’ve seen this on Long Island several times over the last 15 to 20 years. It isnt a normal phenomenon in our area. 287 N and W should jackpot based on historic climatology. that’s why you’ve had all that record snow in places like Islip. over the last few years, you have seen a return to the more historical jackpot areas as it is simply too warm to snow. N and W are getting scraps in a declining snow regime and urban areas are getting shut out altogether

    Could my car be that far off??

    Was it supposed to get this warm today? I had a forecast high of 46. I’m now up to 54.

    I noted the same thing on Sunday. There’s a hard line just north of Duchess and the snow doesn’t start again till Lake George. Crazy winter. Im glad its over. Sad state of affairs

    Im impressed with snow cover remaining in Westchester. Granted we have hills. Enjoying last licks. 36F light rain
  10. the_other_guy
    so what though? Whole winter has been running 5 above normal. Don’t you find that alarming? most of us had a snowy week in January and a snowy week in February. That’s your winter
  11. the_other_guy
    I dont like the opening week. Too warm. But we shall see. Start to run out of innings
  12. the_other_guy
    Yes. you can write off NYC metro, but mountains have time yet!!

    I was convinced then, and now that that was a gift to the rescuers at the World Trade Center. They had originally planned to build a giant tent over the site so they could continue recovery. it was never needed due to the warmth

    yeah, this hasn’t been a great year for skiers in the northeast. The Catskills have done alright. The Adirondacks have just been out of the storm track and it’s kind of sucked. The big guys that could blast snow everywhere were OK after Christmas week. If you don’t have the ability to make snow on all terrain, you are just fucked at this point in the northeast. i’m at Gore right now and they have a nice amount of snow but they have a big warm-up coming and rain this week. Down at the lower levels near Schroon Lake there’s a few inches of snow and 8 inches of lake ice. It is all a very sad state of affairs.
  15. the_other_guy
    That is very warm for the season low
  16. the_other_guy
    what will be our low temperature this year? It was pretty mild. Did it get down to 11 or 12 in NYC?
  17. the_other_guy
    The winter is over for NYC after this week. Dont need a chart or a model or an MJO number to tell you that. Look at the date, look at the weather over next 10 days and youre down to one off events in mid March. Given the warmth this winter, it is unlikely Game over
  18. the_other_guy
    that was the theory in the 2010s. I’m sure it holds today. You do see a tipping point though. whether we’re at that point now or not is another discussion. we have plenty of moisture just no cold air.
  19. the_other_guy
    The Warming affects the urban heat is more. I think that is what is lost here. I would like to see the park compared to a place like corona Queens. Based on my friends observations living in Manhattan, I think the parks measurements are on, or perhaps high
  20. the_other_guy
    for the people who declared winter over on January 20, now you could redeem yourselves by declaring it over save a one off mid March event.
  21. the_other_guy
    No. It is quite accurate give or take a couple of inches
  22. the_other_guy
    what is so embarrassing about it? They haven’t had more than that. There hasn’t been one day where I looked out at what they had, and said geez they measured to low. Maybe 8? Let’s cut the garbage here with CPK already. It is ridiculous. A bunch of 2 inch storms that melted as soon as it fell. That has been their season. The 7 reflects that
  23. the_other_guy
    Like -20. Not even close. 1/3 of normal
  24. the_other_guy
    You need to be in striking range of normal to date right?
  25. the_other_guy
    Like an exciting season in Durham…
