Well it looks like Thurs-Mon all feature AN temps, no? That gives us 2 days to look for a February event...and we are into March. End of February comes up real quick. If we salvage something tonight, we had 3 solid days of snow cover from last storm and will have 3 days of solid cover before that 50 on Thursday with this storm. I guess I will take it in a snowless winter -

Wednesday looks to kick off the beginning of a warm pattern that will last for a while. That should stick a fork in February. At least Tonight looks promising. -

Where? In the Northern Bronx? I showed a pic 7 hours after the storm ended in queens. You see snow there? Or a puddle from melting? The storm was not a nothing burger… It made travel treacherous for most of the day. The storm also had a bad set up and was not a snowstorm for New York as the poster you derided before and after the storm stated. 1 inch was recorded. I am not getting into the posters past, I’m just saying he earns some credibility with this last storm. That’s why most of us are on here, not to fight with other posters, But to have a credible discussion about weather happening or possibly happening. I Don’t want to see anybody that has good insight get derided. -

No offense man, now you are trolling. Whatever his past, he was fundamentally correct when he said it was a bad setup that wouldnt lead to much for NYC or Long Island. 1 hour of snow and sleet that added up to an inch before rain washed it away. I drove to JFK the next day at noon...a spec of snow or a puddle from melting were impossible to find. See below photo. Meanwhile, several posters deriding him on this site held tight with 3-6/2-4/1-3 wish casts. He was correct...or closer to correct. Ill step off my soapbox now...sometimes what is right needs to be called out. Frankly, he earned a stripe with the last storm in my book -
Solid sheet of ice out there this morning. The rain just froze with an air temperature of 32 or lower throughout the event and cold snow/sleet on the ground. 32.7F now
-
Temp already jumped to 30.4F since last post. NYC absolutely will be rain shortly Ive never seen a temp rise so rapidly in a winter storm. Almost a degree per 30 mins
-
3 inches or so. Sleet still going. Temp rising rapidly. 29.8F

That is coming. 1 hour of snow for Midtown. -
Exactly as forecast one week ago and 24 hours ago. Models are damn good. You just have to see what they are showing, even if you dont want to see it.

In Albany...and they are taking about changeover and mixing up here. Perspective. Im sorry, I say this in the least offensive way...Too much wishcasting on this forum. ”Front end dump” ”Extended period of icing” ”Cold air is locked in at the beginning” These things almost never happen in the New York City metro area. You can tell me when they have happened...it happens so rarely. This is the second storm in a row that looks bad, plain and simple. we are talking ourselves into salvation with something that’s very rare in this region.

Re Snow days. The world has changed a lot in the last 20 years. Things that were acceptable in the 80s and 90s and not acceptable now. NYC never closed schools. Never. In 1994 we had several huge snowstorms where schools were open. Thank liability; thank social media. Thank a softer world. That is why you have more snow days now. -

So it started off looking like all snow, then it looked like a cutter, Then it showed snow again, then we were talking about transition times on two different waves as it trended warmer. I’m talking about January 20 of course what are you guys all talking about? -

Had to deuce this morning for frost at JFK. It was ironic given the hazy sunny morning that developed quickly. -

Feb 95 saw one storm with around 10 inches of snow. Ended as a bit of rain. Turned sharply colder for a week or so...and that was our winter.
