I’ve got to tell you it’s beautiful outside after a cold week. This reminds me of living in Daytona Beach in January. A nice way to do winter… a few cold days and then a warm-up.

It is a weather forum in a season that is slowly disappearing. It is like talking about old LIRR train cars as the new models slowly roll out.

Whitestone was always like that too. The LGA Heat Island killed it

You didnt!

A LOT of people. Lets cut the BS Bluewave. I even saw Merry Torchmas. We could debate a lot of things, let’s at least stay in reality here

28F this morning. Dont look now, but…looks like that storm really pulls in a lot of cool air behind it. haha

what you’re seeing is the guys that profess gospel two or three weeks out leave themselves open to being wrong. Nobody could predict the weather or the specific patterns three weeks out. It is a generalization. What you’re looking at is a December with a marginal air mass interrupted by three or four days at a time of warmth. It isn’t a torch. it isn’t 2015. You get a big storm, cold air gets pulled in, things happen. That’s why I’m not so quick to praise people for predicting things with certainty when no such certainty exists in this science

Belleayre today. No snow guns on as they told me there was a Temp Inversion last night as others have posted

Fri-Mon. Then marginal air. Like it rained every weekend in Fall, we shoot for 60 every weekend in Dec. No biggie

anyone notice how warm the overnight Lows are on this cold week? I should easily be below freezing right now…but Im not.

because how you act makes a difference. Im with MJO on this.

This^

Belleayre got 7 inches and has 25 trails open. Anyone wanna car pool Wednesday? haha

Man, it’s really all or nothing with you. Just some advice, you need to check some of the emotion on these posts. Its not as bad or good as you think. It isnt a 2015 redo, and it isnt 1993. +2-4 month with little to no snow unless we get lucky

That was a N W storm right? I remember not much in city

Oh please it was a two day cold snap that was already warming up by Christmas Day. It was alarming how we can’t keep cold for more than 48 hours now even when it’s that deep.

would you call 2016 a 3 to 4 week winter? That was one mega storm, that immediately melted. There was a cold snap in February. Those are the only two notable things that winter. There was a lot of warmth around that

Wind picked up at night. In general, if this was a snowstorm, I would have been disappointed by result. Underperformed all around. Rain snow line racing east->for mood flakes. Backside snow never works out in NYC. DC and BWI are better positioned for this (when it rarely works) as they are further inland off coast. In NYC this is Fools Gold

i’m outside, walking the dog and typing this in flip-flops and shorts and a T-shirt. -RA can’t make this up for 12/10. We had a heavy batch of rain that lasted from 840 till 9 PM and that was it. That was the heaviest all day.

You always skew too warm. MJO skews to cold. If you go over, Ill take the under. Stick around enough, and you get the biases in everyones calls

I think being east, you were exception to the rule. Steady on and off. Not much here at all and not any notable wind thus far. Tonight…

I wonder how many people canceled plans today based on the storm hysteria. Most of this will come while we are asleep.

A lot of people here are jumping the gun, not only on the winter but on this month. 21 days left, and it looks slightly above average. It doesn’t look like a torch. Everything is in play when you see a bunch of 40s in the day over a 2 to 3 week period

well, that’s the debate of a lifetime and of a generation. No answers and probably no quick solutions.

Bam. I think this is really important because a lot of the 30 year averages are smoothing Just how bad it has become in the last 15 years.
