    A very icy 23F to start the new year. Ice and frost on every surface
  2. the_other_guy
    I think you’re spot on
  3. the_other_guy
    You can’t discount the fact that we are running 5+ degrees above normal with no end in sight on top of the stats you posted.

    JFK got what 8 inches? To me you can’t say the coast got zero. As for upcoming storms, things have to line up perfect to manufacture cold air. A general 5 degrees AN going forward.

    We just had that last week. When Central Park has 10 inches, the Catskills have 2 feet, and Binghamton needs a yard stick, that is as good as a region-wide crushing gets.

    I would say to the average person, it is true. Even before the last two seasons, we entered into a very warm paradigm that saw larger storms drop snow and quickly melt. The February storm 3 years ago comes to mind. It got cold for the storm. The week before and after were ridiculously warm. It was gone before sunset in the city Someone above mentioned 2015 with rose colored glasses. What a disaster of a winter! Starting with the Nino Dec. The biggest storm ever was gone in one week! Had that storm not occurred, the city had 2 inches of snow for the year. To the average person looking out their window, reading Wikipedia, Seeing snow on the ground in New York City is increasingly rare. A recent storm that stuck around for 7 days cures all ills; but that is increasingly rare

    Can we stop doing this? Please. For the record, you are probably right. But we really cant say this with any certainty.

    Belleayre had an avalanche. Snow right into the lodge. No injures, lots of damage. They say they had 6.5 inches of rain on their website Still closed.

    Every major ski resort in the Catskills closed. Unprecedented on Xmas Day

    Hicksville. 8pm. Just went for a walk between courses and didn’t get blown away. Actually pleasant outside with a nice moon.

    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
  12. the_other_guy
    31F. Below Freezing! A novel concept with snow on the ground
  13. the_other_guy
    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?
  14. the_other_guy
    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

    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...
  16. the_other_guy
    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

    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.
  18. the_other_guy
    Temps stubbornly in the mid 40s in the city this evening. That should do in a lot of the snow cover by morning sadly
  19. the_other_guy
    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
  20. the_other_guy
    Solid 33F all night long. Lots of dripping outside.
  21. the_other_guy
    Stick your hand out the window it’s little ice pellets
  22. the_other_guy
    Belleayre and Hunter tripled their trails overnight. Heading up tomorrow
  23. the_other_guy
    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

    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
