Lots of Frost 26F. A sure sign that a warmer air mass is coming in today. But looks pretty and reminds me it is January

Yes but again, it’s being driven by overnight lows. As several posters have pointed out. Daytime highs have not been that mild... yet. This week is a whole different story.

I’m going to say mid 2000s. It was the middle of January. At the end of the week we had 6+ inches on the ground in city

Look, at least it is somewhat cold. 40 day, 25 night. We have had a lot worse in terms of January. It will snow this month. And it looks like a good chunk of it will be coldish (slightly above normal but still feel like January) I’ll take it

Are we going to have the rare day where we under perform today? Only 29F at 1130a

That was obvious from late December onward. People just didnt want to see it

34F when I left at 4 am. 37F when I arrived home at 5pm. Says so much and nothing at all.

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

I agree. We have a good chunk of people south and east of 287. They will see rain or useless snow.

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.

Moderate sleet at the moment for as long as that lasts 37F

Hastings on Hudson

A very icy 23F to start the new year. Ice and frost on every surface

I think you’re spot on

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.

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

31F. Below Freezing! A novel concept with snow on the ground

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?

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

Temps stubbornly in the mid 40s in the city this evening. That should do in a lot of the snow cover by morning sadly

Solid 33F all night long. Lots of dripping outside.

Belleayre and Hunter tripled their trails overnight. Heading up tomorrow
