7F! Coldest night yet. I cant believe how many single digit nights we have had this month. And they havent been strung together in one shot but rather spread out

9F at 7 am. Very cold January. If the warmth holds off another 2 weeks, we are almost out of it anyway February happens quick and so does the sun angle discussion

Yeah but that doesn’t mean anything if the main band of the storm got 2+ feet of snow NYC was on the eastern end of the storm. The bullseye was/is the twin forks up to Boston you had guys hugging models that showed them what they wanted to show. Talking about 30 and 40 inch totals and then getting angry when it backed off. No blocking. Fast flow. Eastern storm. GFS, for all its warts, picked up on it early. That is why most of the forum area has 6 inches and not 2 feet. I will say that again… Most of the area is closer to 6 inches than two feet. Blowing masked that in height of storm. It is obvious post storm

I put on xmas music. Very festive remembering when we used to have Decembers like this

Done. Like a light switch in Westchester. From wild to nothing

Like an ad for a snow blower. So nice and easy today

Wind increasing significantly as snow rates decrease and storm pulls out

Still not at 5 inches on stick yet, but the photo shows a lot more than that. Any good advice on how to measure this type of snow????

Yup. They were always set up nicely…and they will get the prize

What I said above was when you guys clung onto epic hits and the GFS was East, it was dismissed as an outlier. Several of us pointed out that you shouldn’t dismiss it given seasonal trends. It caught on very early that this was going to be an East storm. And it was dismissed. And when all is said and done, this is a heavily eastern storm. So it was onto something early on and dismissed as an outlier…but there was some truth in its eastern extremes. Enjoy the snow!

Early on it showed the Eastward extreme pull while we did snow dances around the NAM. No way you cant acknowledge that

what do you have up there? Bet you dont need a 6 inch ruler. You got fringed and Mr GFS says hi!

The eastward trend is real. Frankly, Im tired of the narratives and the spin. This is a MAJOR eastern LI storm which is fringing the city. As modeled! As modeled! As modeled! And for the next storm if any of you dismiss the Eastward trend that has been with us all season, you should be mocked as much as you laugh at that snowman guy

Hastings on Hudson: 13F 4 inches thus far Significantly under-performing on this side thus far

From westchester: It is light thus far. Streets still no cover. Everything else covered. Frankly, Im surprised how slowly it is accumulating thus far, hoping this picks up a bit.

Been snowing on and off all day in Hastings on Hudson, snowing again… Not a thing to show for it. 29F

Still with that huge cutoff Someone is going to get screwed with this…the question is who?

I just want to point out that for all the hysterics this morning and all the excitement now this is modeled as the same storm: A major snowstorm that New York City catches the western edge of if it’s lucky and models are correct.

Yes it has. I love your posts but you try to wish a storm every time.’ Can’t just dismiss the GFS at this point.

0 to 2’ with a high probability of 0. That is the baseline at moment

My gut says we should be happy if we get this. I just can’t dismiss the east GFS. Not this January. If it came back west I would feel better.

FOK is amazing. One day we’ll find out there was a piece of ice on the thermometer

7F Hastings on Hudson Coldest night yet Whatever happens this winter… This has been a cold January…

Correct. if we were 12 hours out from the storm you would say we’re going to get something. The fact that we are so far out and the trend is that bad is concerning

This isnt a therapy session. It is a weather forum. weather isnt a like/dislike situation. It just is. And the fact that we haven’t had many winter months with below normal departures in several years… That is the BIG story.
