  1. 32F. That sums up my snowfall. Im driving up to belleayre today and curious as to where the accumulating snow line was. im assuming 10-30 north of 287 depending on elevation
  2. Just south of 287 in Westchester at 33F
  3. Interesting temperature gradient… It’s raining on the east side of Westchester and snow as you get closer to Hudson.
  4. Today is my bday. In 39 years almost every bday I can remember has had snow on the ground, snow in the air, ice or rain around this date. Two of the best ones I remember: sometime around 1986 heavy rain to snow during my bday party. I was likely 4 or 5. Possibly 1996 an ice storm that left the city with a thin crusty cover of snow and ice. Snow away!
  5. Actually, sadly, baseball as a whole has moved towards homerun hitters. It is why the game has become so boring. It is all or nothing. Just like our winters haha
  6. I agree. We have a good chunk of people south and east of 287. They will see rain or useless snow.
  7. It is too warm. We are pushing this mild January leads to snow narrative. This whole week is 3 to 5° above normal. All you do is eliminate possibilities with that airmass. You become totally dependent on track, phasing, timing. To bring in a baseball analogy because it feels like spring outside, You are hoping for a homerun because picking up runs through small ball fundamentals isnt going to work Yesterday was rain, tomorrow will be rain, the next one will be rain unless it is a perfect setup. That’s a bad position to be in if you like snow.
  8. Moderate sleet at the moment in Hastings on Hudson. Minor accumulations on asphalt...As I’m starting to find out because I’m out running like a nut
  9. A very icy 23F to start the new year. Ice and frost on every surface
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. Can we stop doing this? Please. For the record, you are probably right. But we really cant say this with any certainty.
  15. 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.
  16. Hicksville. 8pm. Just went for a walk between courses and didn’t get blown away. Actually pleasant outside with a nice moon.
  17. 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
  18. 31F. Below Freezing! A novel concept with snow on the ground
  19. 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?
  20. 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
  21. 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...
