Greetings! During this period of model-hugging and pointless arguing, I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a looongtime lurker, going back to the days of Bill Evans's WABC board, when metsfan/snow88/MJO was just a young whippersnapper working at CVS. Lurked on Eastern and the NYC Metro Weather forums for a long time too, but mostly here now. As one of the rare folks in this forum who actually lives near Central Park, I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring. Hoping for some good snow soon, as it's been...a while around here. Also thought this forum could benefit from someone who can actually vouch for the measurements in CPK, which, honestly...usually sound about right to me. This last Sunday, while the Park reported 0.4 in the morning (on grass that had a little from the day before), in the surrounding neighborhood we got ZERO/NADA/white rain until the evening round, when we picked up about an inch, and only then on grass/cars/etc. It really is different in Manhattan in those borderline-ass storms. But for this weekend, even 6 inches of solid snow and a sleet-fest on top would be the most exciting winter weather around here since about 2021. Here's hoping.
