This is the NYC Metro Sub-forum. Albany would be Upstate NY/Pennsylvania subform.

Not really, I'm not in the city, I'm north of it. Our average #days with 1 inch or more of snow cover is somewhere around 34-40 days in an average winter. The record while I was doing my PhD research was 59 and I think that was either 14-15 or 13-14, I'd have to check when I get back. The past two seasons have been a little rough around the edges, but it helps my research honestly. I look at how they store their metabolic reserves over winter. Winters like this are awful if you are a tick so I guess that is a good think for us. It is one reason why we continue to see tick density increasing to our north and decreasing around our area. It is fascinating to watch and study. NYC (Central Park) averages roughly 25 days with 1 inch or more of snow cover from 03-04 to today. PS> If I am in the wrong place that must mean @Snow88 is really in the wrong place haha, just kidding around. We should all buy a place in Vermont.

I’m trying to figure out about this. If it snows 3 inches but then rains an inch followed by 60s, would you still like that? I never got the whole I love snow for snows’ sake. If it is going to snow I want it to stay around awhile and be pretty and usable. I hate winters like this with a passion. I want snow on the ground and I want it to stay. It means nothing if it snows and is gone. I’d rather live in Florida and travel a few times a year to Vermont or Colorado and be guaranteed snow and nice days. Perhaps I’m just getting grumpy in my older age, but snow makes everything so bright and nice. I hate the fog, misty type days. Anyone have cloud cover anomalies? I read somewhere that both 2018 and 2019 ended well above normal for cloud cover.

46 degrees here in Treasure Island, Florida and people are dressed for below zero! Will rebound today to 67. Beautiful weather to get outside and not be too hot!

Haha! If it was we'd have to move it to the vendor thread. Still not good for here when many might be at work, around kids, etc.

Bet that was a tad awkward. Then again they know you love the weather! Well today I learned there truly is a porn genre for every category including the weather desk.

Thanks a bunch. Pretty nervous to check the page at work now since I work on a campus. Luckily nobody was around when that popped up on the screen.

This cannot be a NSFW post. Please remove... That was really F***ed up. Many of us would love to keep our jobs.

Ummm ban hammer time?

The majority of us are snow weenies on here. Not many warm weenies on here, just realists. If I went by your forecasts this winter, I would already have been well over a foot of snow. Instead, I'm barely at 3 inches, so who is more accurate? Many are just looking at the trends and models and most of the models this winter have proved to be too cold and accumulations overdone, as @bluewave pointed out, you have to look at all layers, not just the pretty snow accumulation maps which are terrible.

Seriously, unfollow JB. Your life will not have so many letdowns. That guy is like heroin for snow junkies. Just stop with him. March will never be the new January. Even with tons of snow it melts way too fast. Snow cover to me is much more important. I don't get why people get so excited for storms if they just melt within a few days.

Can not wait to escape to Florida this weekend. I absolutely detest cold rain. I love winter but these are the days that bring me deep down.

Now I’m confused

I honestly hate this type of weather more than anything. Especially when we are getting into the prime snow weeks. Next 6 weeks are our best for getting a sustained snow pack if we will get one this year. I am hoping that next summer is much more drought like if I am still around the area.

Should we open a nostalgia thread? haha j/k
