I’m not talking about the future, there have always been people all over the place with future patterns in my 25+ years on these boards. I haven’t seen anyone call this December 2015, although I may have missed it, but it seems like a narrative people create in their own head that others are saying such things. I’m talking about people in denial about the general warmth of the actual daily readings saying “it feels cold” or “it’s still above normal but not that much”. I’m not saying people should throw hissy fits over that and rage but I also think there are people burying their head in the sand on it.

Then why are you always asking for people to explain it to you like your five years old?

The amount of weenies in this forum that cannot handle the factual truth so far this winter season is somehow shocking to me.

Well done Don

That all certainly sucks, sorry you have to go through that.

Its only 12/19, we still have time...LOL

I was explaining this to folks in the office this morning. Stuff weather geeks know LOL

The water gage near the hospital in Middletown is higher now than it was in July, not by much but it also hasn't crested yet, although its getting close.

After an average October, and a below average November, right back into above average precipitation with 6.13" so far this month. Sitting right near 65" for the year...why not make a run at 70"? Back in the day we'd say "no way" to that much more this month, sadly nowadays its not as crazy as it may sound to some.

3.03" looks to be the total. Lowest pressure was 983.5mb around 9:30am. After a high of 60 a little after 6:30am we've been cooling, 45/42 currently, will see the sun very shortly.

If it was only that simple...

Had a few gusts in the past couple of hours but nothing like to my south and east, up to 2.57” and pouring again. Lots of flooded roads out there this morning. 60/59, a truly festive feeling this morning out there…

I don’t remember the details of everything like some can, one of the reasons I write things in a spreadsheet now LOL. Some events though.. there are parts of it I can recall like yesterday but certainly not all of them.

700 looks easily reachable at the moment.

Yea, some classic northern New England scenes. Hopefully, but doubtful, it’ll look similar to that for you.

26 to 55 here today

On this date in 1981 areas in this thread were in the midst of a decent snowstorm. I think I've talked about it before in here but that's not going to stop me from talking about it again. We lived in Fishkill at the time. I have some vivid memories of this storm, I was nine years of age and recall working on Christmas decorations/ornaments with my Cub Scout pack. It was pretty exciting to have gifts for my parents that I created, all while a raging snowstorm was occurring during the holiday season. The storm started on the 14th, I found this from a NY Times article in the 12/15/81 paper: "Yesterday afternoon's snow turned into heavy rain last night in New York City, but continued to fall heavily across Rockland County, portions of eastern New York, the Catskills and Connecticut." Looking at various COOP reports, which can be a bit sketchy but still tell a story, it appears the storm lasted until late on the 16th or early on the 17th depending on location. Some local NY snow totals from those observations: Gardiner: 18" (seems a bit high but who knows) Glenham: 10.5" Liberty: 9" Walden: 11" Westchester Airport: 6.5" Yorktown: 11" The records show a couple of refreshers, one on 18th/19th and another on the 23rd, each were a trace up to two inches, location dependent. Temps started warming up on Christmas Eve so the pack began melting but held on enough to make it an official White Christmas. Seeing this Miller commercial in regular rotation on tv was more than fitting during that December of yore.

Good morning. I’ve been formulating a reminiscent post this morning for later today, need to confirm a few things in the archives but I digress. Low of 26 here, also the current temp.

2.01” for the event, just over 61.5” for the year. Didn’t see any flakes here.

1.91" so far puts me over 60" for the year...yay...

And neither flavor has any impact on what actually happens so I don't know why some get so bent out of shape. IMO, the Jets haven't played a home game since they left Shea Stadium.

So you actually had a "pack", nice. I was just being a smart ass, if you can imagine that

I was actually in the Gaylord Texan on Sunday morning, not as part of the CFP Committee clearly but to see ‘ICE featuring The Grinch’ which was pretty incredible, just google it but I digress. While walking through the place we came across two women decked out in FSU gear with signs and everything. I asked them if they were related to @BxEngine to which I got blank stares and “Who?” My wife then reminded me that we had tickets for the ICE thing and we didn’t have time to find out if some ladies were related to that weenie. GO IRISH! Who have essentially no receivers for the bowl game…

Pack refreshers are delightful

I thought he did too one year but Kevin beat him for Weenie of the Decade.
