NYC really sucks at snowfall measurements. There hasn't been an update since yesterday afternoon from any of the sites (including Central Park). But oddly enough, there was additional measurable precipitation at Central Park specifically after the previous 1pm snowfall total, so there was almost certainly more snowfall that accumulated beyond the official 19.7" as well...

Providence has broken its all-time record already (the other 1978), and it's still pound town there.

There's also 1967 and 1978 (albeit, those set up a bit further SE).

And Jupiter aligns with Mars...

Would easily be wiling to deal with a decade+ of shitty winters for that tradeoff. No contest... Even NYC is looking at 20"+ when all said and done, which (believe or not) would still only be a top 5 storm.

Now *THIS* is a Blizzard... https://www.earthcam.com/usa/massachusetts/provincetown/?cam=capecodbay

They've had some clunker seasons as of late, but there's an equillibrium to everything. Eventually, the tides will turn in their favor again. They average nearly as much snow as Chicago and Detroit, and I'm willing to bet their big snowstorm climo is better than Detroit's in particular...

I just turned to watch Bugs Bunny when the halftime show was on. Nothing against the headline performer, but I'm an old skool R&B fan (in other words, my taste in music is simply not aligned with the 2026 mainstream audience). I didn't watch Kendrick Lamar's performance either last year. The actual game was pitiful, although it is funny how badly Drake Maye was finally exposed after the run he had...

At least it's been a good kind of Zzzzzzz for some of us...

Meh...

Already starting to see changes in the medium/long range with the temps given the PV stretch and/or SSWE. Not looking so torchy any more...

lol

MSP special...

A lot of these PV Stretch / SSW events have been happening well into Met Spring as of late though, so the cold anomalies do end up eventually happening, but relative to average and thus haven't been all that cold.
