3 rounds of accumulating snow in 48 hours. Didnt happen all winter. Happened today. Ironic

You can’t lump Brooklyn and queens with Long Island. They are two urban areas with lots of concrete that genuinely has an effect on weather. Useless factoid: by Supreme Court decision, Long Island isnt an island but a peninsula extending from the mainland separated by a tidal straight

Wind is intense as snow moves back in

Stick a fork in this winter. Like a big budget movie that went nowhere but kept you entertained none the less.

32F. been snowing heavily for most of the morning. There’s a dusting on the ground. Given the little elevation and the distance from the city, what has fallen, and the back edge…Im going to say the city and LI are done. Southern Westchester away from Urban core pretty, north of 287 good, north of 84 ca-ching

Snowing hard is Westchester. Let’s see if it gets us anywhere 34F

Which means you had a pretty garbage winter. Dont spin it as anything else. haha How many days did you have snow on the ground in Brooklyn? Even a week?

Good for ski areas…and it’s mid March after a mediocre winter

Wow! Good for you guys

There’s a coating on the ground in Suffolk county?

This is crazy still 70° at 9 PM. The level of warmth and the duration of it is just astounding

Ton of powder at Belleayre today from overnight snow!

Yeah. Im in agreement with you. 37F at 8 am

I actually kind of like it. We have been bombarded with humidity, heat, and endless bugs from late June through October. Frankly, I find our new endless summer climate disgusting. I rather enjoy the cool springs. But this is all opinion and conjecture, and one should never assume that there is a universal opinion on these things.

I said this 2 weeks ago. Never say never, but pretty sure it’s over

The problem is people are trying to make every moderate size event a once in a lifetime event. If you saw 2015-2016 you likely won’t see that again. That is the kind of storm you tell your grandkids about. I’ve heard stories about cars being buried in snow in NYC and didnt believe it until I saw it with my own eyes. And yes the storms are getting bigger and more frequent, but the set of circumstances that allow a perfect storm like that are only going to occur once twice or three times in a human lifetime. People don’t want to hear that, particularly in the sensationalist age, but it’s the truth

Most of the sub forum is well below normal as that blizzard only produced big for immediate coast In particular HV had a terrible year for snow. Very similar to 2015 in snow gradient… Not quite as extreme

You cant wish a snow storm. You cant hype one either. It is either coming or it isnt. There’s enough collective knowledge on here to know this is a bad set up for a city that has a bad set up for winter weather. There is nothing locking cold air in place The low is all the way over by Buffalo and has been modeled as such for a bit The cold air is marginal It was 70 yesterday NYC is a concrete jungle of humanity that hangs onto heat So despite what any model was telling me, I knew that this was a rain storm for New York City. So did you I deleted my post because I didn’t want to piss in anybody’s Wheaties because I respect the knowledge on this site Sorry this one isnt going to work You may get another shot in March… But you probably wont

Bozeman. Barely eeking out a 0F for the high

I deleted my post. Not worth getting into it. Enjoy whatever it is

Blooms at the Botanical Garden

32F. Fog on the ridge lines.

I should be like you guys talking about a never coming snowstorm when it’s 60 out? No thanks. This will be one of the nicest days of the year…trust me

56F. Glorious. Top ten day of the year.

Yup. Going to be awful for them and really ruins the rest of the season for them
