  1. Hicksville. 8pm. Just went for a walk between courses and didn’t get blown away. Actually pleasant outside with a nice moon.
  2. 55F. Complete breakdown this upcoming week of any cold weather. Transient shots of cold with temps well AN beyond that. Xmas in the 50s is the new normal sadly
  3. 31F. Below Freezing! A novel concept with snow on the ground
  4. There is still snow outside your window. Did we already revert back to the winter is over mentality we had the first week of December?
  5. We had a white Christmas just north of city four years ago. The snow fell on Thursday I said well we’re all going to have it this year. The models really under performed on the warmth with this cutter. It wasnt apparent until the weekend that we were going for 60 on xmas...again! Heck, the whole week looks above normal now with exception of 26 and 27. Defaulting back to short, transient bouts of BN
  6. You know what I observed? They are being very stingy with their snow making this year. I was there on several 25° days and one or two guns were on. They are all capacity limited and afraid of a shut down. I digress. Back to eve rainstorm...
  7. Agreed. If you get within a degree of normal, you have to consider that a cool departure 20 years ago. The whole baseline has been reset even if we are still waiting on new averages
  8. Yeah a real kick in the teeth for them. It has been a terrible start to the ski season. Most of the area resorts opened up 2 to 3 weeks late, had minimal trail coverage, then got this burst of snow and opened up a bunch of trails on natural snow alone in anticipation of the holiday. People will be quite shocked when they arrive at a Catskill resort on 12/26 to have 10 trails open.
  9. Temps stubbornly in the mid 40s in the city this evening. That should do in a lot of the snow cover by morning sadly
  10. I’m down to around 4 inches of snow on the ground. Temperatures are going to be above freezing until that rain arrives with the possible exception of tuesday night. I’m not particularly worried about a rapid melt or clogged sewers. Ground saturation is always an issue. This isnt a 1/12/96 scenario for the NYC metro or nearby burbs
  11. Stick your hand out the window it’s little ice pellets
  12. Belleayre and Hunter tripled their trails overnight. Heading up tomorrow
  13. Absolutely. Queens and Manhattan have way more snow than Westchester per my own eyes. But we will get the last laugh...we melt a lot slower haha
  14. It goes well with this forum. I’ve never seen anything like it. Always onto the next thing. Never enjoy what’s right in front of them. We spent the last four months talking about how warm and awful this winter would be, then we Talked about how bad the storm would be if it missed, Now that we have snow on the ground for an extended period of time we are talking about a warm-up and rain and flooding. ENJOY IT
  15. BGM isnt in our forum and no one in this area is at threat of a flash melt from the few inches of snow (or nothing) that will remain as we get closer to xmas eve. Mid 40s Mon thru Wed will meltdown our 6-12 inch snowpack very quickly.
  16. I came down to Queens to shovel. Definitely more snow in northern Queens then up in Westchester. By 2 inches or so. Whitestone : 11 inches
  17. I would do a commercial for the Toro. Excellent snowblower. Minimal maintenance
  18. Yes. As we get inundated with technology and models, time and time again historical trends prove very relevant. We have 10 inches. That is good for the winter ahead
  19. Still have a consistent band sitting over me. I stopper shoveling because it keeps falling. Not quite over yet
  20. No they werent. Models had 2 ft depicted as far north as Albany with the Northward trend
  21. Well this was a Bust. A nice bust, but a pretty big bust nonetheless. Culprit wasnt mixing but dry slot Hastings on Hudson just shy of 8 inches; forecast 12-16 21F at 7 am
  22. It is a shame. Cold air really locked in over the region. Mixing really isnt the biggest issue. The precip just isnt there. No way we get to NWS forecast. Mine was 12-16. This is a nice little storm before xmas. Nothing more beyond that
