Three day total here = .41". Snow depth is dwindling. With about 85% coverage I've got an average depth of 4". South facing lawns and slopes showing good amount of bare ground.

Don, do you have any info on driest February's for NYC climate sites? Are we close to being in the top 3 to 5 driest assuming not much else falls this month?
-
I'm at .31" for February as of this morning. Snowfall the season sitting at 36.8". Precipitation from 11/1 through today: 8.85". Between 11/1 and today only two precipitation events of 1"+. 12/19 - 12/20 and 1/25 - 1/26. Nothing else close to a 1" event.

Not a good look going into Spring. Extreme drought now showing up in NWNJ. We need to start making up deficits in March and April in a big way to reduce the chances of water restrictions this coming late Spring and Summer, especially for NJ. The lack of widespread moderate to heavy precipitation events over the last 12-18 months has been impressive.

For the first time in a LONG time I've got water trickling through my gutter downspouts! Nice sound I have to say. Gutters and downspouts have been solid ice for about a month now. Several houses in the neighborhood have had gutter ice dams cause indoor water damage. Lots of green Servpro vans in the area doing cleanup.

Not worth quibbling about at this point by any means but if I could change things I'd like the ridge out west sharper and a little further west and the 500 closed low off the east coast to be w.s.w. by about 30 miles to ensure more inland locations (me) cash in fully. Otherwise I'll take it for now. For my area west and NW I like a surface low track west of the BM....more toward KBID/KMVY. Long ways to go for a final solution. Carry on.
-
Track of 500 feature is ideal....as indicated. Remains to be seen how close to reality it is come Sunday night and Monday. A track as indicated would deliver the goods!

It sure has the basics you want to see. Ridge over the intermountain west, perhaps a tad too far east but noise at this stage of the game. A 50/50 low. A northern branch s/w digging through the Ohio Valley with an already slightly negative tilt. Agree, at this point I'll take it and let the chips fall where they may. This is 5-6 days out and very far from a done deal either for a hit of some kind or a total miss. Most that can be said at this point is "moderate to strong storm signal for later in the weekend".

My location lost all the new overnight snowfall during the day today and an additional little dent out of what existed prior. Should lose a good deal more through the rest of the week. The huge mounds are losing height VERY VERY slowly. Anything on the level is showing much more noticeable progress.

1.3" here overnight from .08" liquid. M.T.D. precip: .11". M.T.D. snowfall: 2.0". Click map to enlarge.

Got lots of Arborvitae shrubs in my neighborhood that have offered a good supply of food this winter. Many have been totally eaten and will never come back. Not sure why people plant those shrubs in particular with the deer population being what it is. It is like fine dining to them.

ok...I think I will put my bagel and coffee off to the side for a while.

Bring it ! Please!

Without a significant turnaround during March and April can foresee water restrictions coming for the Summer season.
