Something must be wrong, east edge of Queens is between 32 and 36 degrees. How can you still be at 40?
-
March 2018 has 8.4 inches at the park, 9.6 inches at LGA and 8.7 inches at JFK in a single event. I'm sure there are a couple other events that came close? 10 inch cutoff is arbitrary, nothing special about it. The cutoff could have easily been 8 inches or even 12.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this fall, ever since the first week of October we have had a great classic fall stretch with no nasty torches to kill the autumnal mood. The wind could have been lighter though, I have received an anomalously high number of texts from my wife saying, "why is it so fccking windy again" over the last several weeks lol
-
Lol what an absurd post, my god. 10 inches fell in Florida last winter, you think NYC can no longer get 4 inches in one event? There has been two events at JFK over 4 inches during this crap stretch, one of them being over 6 inches.
-
How much difference can there be between ground level and 2 meters? I remember when we had our burst of snow last week in the morning, my thermometer showed 33 degrees but I had a small puddle of water on a garden supplies container frozen.
-
Where do you see the SE ridging?
-
36 degrees where I am but a few 33s popping up just two or three miles east of me.
-
We have had year after year where models in the medium and long range have had raging SE Ridges and wildly warm anomalies for December. I'll take models showing a nice trough in the east with some energy around and take my chances with that any day.
-
The wave amplified much further west this run, so the low formed farther west and the cold didn't get a chance to dig as south as the earlier run either. Like I said, there is a trough in the east and some energy around, maybe something can happen.

12z GFS for the people who were confused at my post earlier lol:
-
For the people who are confused or don't know what potential means: 6z GFS: 0Z Euro:
-
Potential snowstorm day 9 on 6z GFS? There could be something there, pattern looks good

This website is only Americanwx pre Louisiana Purchase.

Very chilly today
-
Euro has major Canadian cold in fantasy land

7 to 10 inches here, completely unexpected. Thundersnow by LGA around 4 to 5PM. My car managed to get parked in front of my then girlfriend's house for her parents' Christmas party and there it stayed overnight lol It was a rear wheel drive stick shift with low profile performance tires. Basically the worst combination for driving in heavy, pasty snow.
-
I remember the radar that afternoon at JFK like it happened yesterday. It took two hours just for the snow to get from JFK to LGA. But once it got going it was pounding.
-
I thought even on radiational cooling nights, the water can still influence the air temps nearby. For example, in the fall, on radiational cooling nights, being less than a mile from the water I will be a few degrees warmer than places in east Central Queens, away from both the Sound and the Atlantic. And it's not a matter of more or less urbanity, both locations are basically the same look wise.
-
How are the SSTs off the coast of Islip? Aren't they perpetually above normal? Islip might not be a good location to use as a metric anymore since they're tainted by the warm water.
-
What sucks for us is that it's warmer now. I'd rather have colder averages and take my chances with storm tracks.
-
The snow came down furiously in the late afternoon/evening. I have some videos from then and I recently rewatched them and remembered how heavy it was coming down.
-
Where were these readings actually taken because obviously there were no airports for a very long time.
-
It's about time
-
It's bad luck I agree, JFK on the ocean had TWO events over 4 inches in February 2024, one of them over 6 inches.
-
First freeze for NYC is a fake stat anyway. LGA didn't go below freezing until Novembver 26th in the 93-94 winter for example.
