    I know we have and I hate it. It is worthless snow after March 15th, just melts fast and makes you think of shoulda, coulda, woulda. And if we get a big one after then I am even more angry because we could have had it when we could actually use it. I don't know what to tell you, I love snow storms, but the whole point of snow to me is to ski, play with my son, or just hike in the snow. Sure tracking is fun, but what's the point if you don't actually enjoy snow? If it snows over night and melts the next morning, did it even snow? I get many will disagree with that, but it's how I feel. I'd much rather have weekly 2-4 inches with minimal melting than one massive storm that melts in 2-5 days. Although I do enjoy a rare massive storm.

    Yes but he meant met winter (December, January, February). March 1st is the beginning of meteorological spring. I'm hoping we get something going soon, my two year old keeps begging for snow!

    Can't blame him for being frustrated. It is January 8th and after Sunday my highs will be in the 40s and increasing over the next week. Most ski areas are still not even close to 100% open. Winter clock is ticking. Now sure a big snowstorm can and still is likely to happen, but I say this each year, I enjoy snow sports not just snow storms. I got a few good days of playing in the snow with my son, but it is still winter and even lakes aren't freezing. Might not even be able to get our annual VT trip in with all the restrictions.

    If only he posted that slight earlier and got this warning haha. Is that because if the water main break?

    Really? I’ve been seeing a lot of the same usual epic winter ahead lately on Twitter. Granted I rarely log on these days. Most of the true pros I follow went below average to average. A few of the skiing guys I follow are down about this winter. I’m just busy trying to pack up for the move, but sure hope for snow in Putnam County!

    Just wondering has Twitter Wx ever predicted a normal to below average snow season? Because typically all I ever see there is above average snow, especially from the #natgas crew.

    Merry Christmas! I have never seen snow melt as fast as last night. Combine with losing power for a few hours and trees toppling we had an adventurous Christmas Eve night. One a child wakes up on Christmas, even if it is 4am, good luck getting them back to sleep! It feels way too warm once again on Christmas.

    Yup for a few more weeks at least. Moving up to Carmel soon. But we love Tuckahoe!
  9. JustinRP37
    Yeah sleeting quite a bit now in Tuckahoe. Have a good amount of snow and definitely blowing and drifting. Might have a hard time getting to those forecasted amounts though.
  10. JustinRP37
    I'm moderate snow in Tuckahoe.
  11. JustinRP37
    Wow the wind and the snow is intense in Tuckahoe!

    Well my two year-old absolutely loved the snow! Took some time getting him in! Before the storm started I asked him if he liked the snow or beach better. The answer was a clear "beach". Now that answer after the storm started is a clear "snow". Very interesting storm out there. Near whiteout now!

    Tell him that! I feel like I am the baby and he is the energizer bunny. I guess I'm a dollar store battery and he is a premium brand.

    Over the past few years I have learned not to get too caught up in model fluctuations and exact amounts. That combined with having a toddler means I don't stay up for model runs anymore. But two things: we have a cold airmass and things still look good at the beginning. That said this is still an early season storm with a warm ocean nearby. While it might not be the best for the city, this is HUGE for southern NY and southern New England ski areas that have been badly hurt the last few seasons. Let's get that white gold to them!

    Going to Carmel, NY for now. About my max for commuting for the time being. But very excited to be closer to skiing (even if not the big mountains of the north). Yeah it is mind boggling how many areas have still not even been able to do a test run of the snow making systems. We could use a week with lows in the mountains being below 27. Let's make it happen! Right now the best skiing is in New Jersey... Inside a building off I-95. Depressing.

    Thanks! I am excited to be further north as much as I love southern Westchester, it will be nice to be up by mountains too. I just hope we do get these overnight freezing temperatures this weekend. Would love for these tiny flies to die off for the year. It is just frustrating without truly cold air. I'd take warm days if we could at least get cold nights! Fingers crossed for snow to get us all in a festive mood, even if it is just a dusting. I am worried though about the ski areas because they need this season as do us winter sports people. Being outside really keeps risks of covid down, and it is still good exercise. Most importantly just getting outside is good for mental health. We all need more of this!

    Not everyone was praising the great pattern. Plenty have been pointing out why this year isn't a great year. I am deeply concerned. Even looking at Killington (granted I probably won't get there this year), they are well below where they should be for this time of year. While sure we might get a big storm at some point, I do wish we could actually get some freaking sustained cold! Even this pattern isn't 'cold'. There are still tiny flies coming in my windows when I have them open. I am excited though as we will be moving further north to the Carmel area, so hopefully a bit more snow up there during the winter! Finally pulled the plug on a new place, so bye to southern Westchester for now.

    I do wish I had half the optimism for this winter, snow wise, as the majority of the people posting in this thread. I just don't see anything to give me hope of a white Christmas, let alone an average to above average snow year. We will see, but it would be nice to have a good ski season for a change.
  19. JustinRP37
    I'm fine with the cooler than normal daytime temperatures, but I do not want the heat on and I definitely do not want to hav windows closed because it is cold. We already have a small outbreak where I teach and being indoors with windows closed will only make things worse. This is one year where I would be okay with warmer than average temperatures for much of winter, as much as I love snow and skiing, I am very worried about increasing risk.
  20. JustinRP37
    Agree 100%. The more fresh air we can keep in buildings the better. Schools right now need to exchange air at least 4 times an hour and that is much harder to do when you have to heat it from freezing. Also, even though indoor dining is open, I still won't do it right now. Had a few coronavirus scares personally both in the spring and this fall. I teach at the university level and have been trying to do some in-person teaching. I love winter and all that, but let's hope we can keep windows open as late as possible.

    Would be nice if she would drop off some tomato pies. A joke for those from CT. Mmm I could go for some Sally’s right about now. In all seriousness though hopefully this one doesn’t strengthen. Louisiana is in very rough shape.

    Now we know 2020 has really caused people to flip.
  23. JustinRP37
    It’s like they forgot how hot our past few Septembers and October’s have been. Working in the field on ticks I can tell you we can get real heat and humidity well into the fall.
  24. JustinRP37
    Just had some transformers go. Pretty loud explosions. Always amazes me how if there was 1-3 inches of snow with this everything would be closed but since it is a tropical storm it is basically business as usual.
  25. JustinRP37
    Was I the only one that forgot we are in August today? I was looking for the July thread and scratched my head wondering why it wasn’t near the top. Even though most days are similar I feel like time is flying by. Can you believe it is already hockey season ;-)
