  1. Much different when you leave the city. When I lived in Queens, I got in the car and drove around in snow. We moved up to Westchester and it was snowing for around an hour, I decided to go to Home Depot. I got as far as the main road and was caught in pandemonium. Its the steep hills, the increased elevation and the lack of HUGE amounts of pre salt. Schools often close up here has 1-3 in hills is much worse than 1-3 on grassy surfaces in the Urban Jungle
  2. I don’t understand why we keep talking about storms two weeks from now. There’s snow coming in tomorrow night. There may be more snow on Sunday. There are real events at our doorstep and we are chasing phantom possibilities on the 16th that can only lead to disappointment. I dont get the psychology behind it. In my experience on here, if you are looking at a perfect setup 10 plus days out…it isnt going to work out as depicted
  3. Im enjoying this winter. Cold. A lot of little events. Snow on the. ground for many days. For the first time in a long time, it feels like winter. Just need one big one
  4. Wtf are you talking about? I have snow plows going down my block. So wrong haha
  5. where is the guy that declared winter and accumulating snowfall over on 1/29? that prediction may have been the worst in the history of the forum
  6. light snow falling this morning. If you remember 1994 we had a really snowy January and a lot of the news reports were saying that February was gonna be milder with a lot less snow. Obviously, that didn’t happen. But it was funny the same people that canceled winter in 2025 were also busy doing it in 1994.
  7. Ill bite…you see the numbers…give us your theory
  8. Denver. But to get that here you need thread the needle large storms that pull in cold air. Havent seen those storms in a while
  9. The urban heat Island has been particularly affected by climate change. Somebody smarter than me should delve into this and do a research paper. The good news is if you live in the metro area if you get 10 miles out of the city proper, you haven’t been nearly as affected, especially at night…and that goes for all four seasons, not just winter. I believe it has to do with the increased humidity magnifying the effects of the urban heat island. The increased humidity is affecting the whole area, but it really magnifies the urban core. I grew up in Queens and I’m not that old. I remember plenty of nights in the summer in the 90s with windows open. that would be unthinkable today. I also grew up in Wading River on the beach…and we did not have air-conditioning. Nobody on the block had air-conditioning. That would be absolutely unthinkable today. The increase in humidity, especially the effects on nighttime low temps, has been astounding from 2000 onward.
  10. Dont bet on this bullshit Basically and up and down pattern with a slight AN tilt. Bluewave runs with it…you should stroll with it
  11. I’ll be the brave one I think February gets more snow than January. I think we go AN for monthly temps, but we get a descent storm
  12. Damn straight. enjoy 55 and rain followed by cold for all those rooting for this pattern much better off with the cold pattern and little events here and there Always better to be fighting suppression then fighting warm air in this new warmer climate
  13. Were their wide discrepancies in high temps today region wide? Seems odd to see 55 degrees
  14. Blizzard Conditions currently at Belleayre!
  15. That is good if you like snow during a La Nina
  16. I can’t believe we’re still arguing about this cold January. It was a cold January! And what made it even feel colder was because we’ve had a series of warm Januarys. please don’t minimize how big of a fucking deal it is that we’re gonna finish with a -3 or a minus anything in January. The same people that want to remind us all the time of how warm it is versus a 30 year average now want to minimize the fact that we have a cold month. Bizzare
  17. You guys keep talking about warm and snowless the rest of the way while clinging to historical Nina data that hasnt played out well this season thus far. A simple 10 day forecast doesnt show warmth. If I was putting money on DraftKings for February I would go with a -1 to +1 and BN snow…but not a gooseegg. Lot’s of narratives in this forum (some from informed posters) that havent lined up with what is outside the window thus far
  18. And we are quite literally riding the wave ^^
  19. Return to cold? Doesnt it have to get warm first? Enjoy the winter guys… Never saw so much hysterics in a cold January with water ways iced over and snow on the ground
  20. I just happened to be watching the news which I never do… And they had a whole segment with Nick Gregory on how they suspended fire Island service due to the ice in the Great South Bay. I guess I haven’t seen him in a while. He looks awful. Almost scary aging
  21. This has been a pretty cool winter. Not much snow, but we had a week around xmas and now. But the cold has been potent…unlike past years. And area ski areas are thriving. I will put this Dec/Jan in the winter win column -1 in ROC this morning
  22. Just closed Jax and Chs for impending snow storm. No deice equipment. MSY is obviously closed. Something you dont see everyday
