Would agree on the 3 but a properly situated temperature sensor would make quick work of the 99 with the right synoptic situation. They need to move that sensor back to the castle if they want the readings to be more representative of temperatures in the city proper.

Have to agree with you. Had everything you mentioned plus snow cover locally. Absolutely correct about no mitigating factors on the way into the metro. Snow cover along the route, rapid movement southward and a very favorable air mass trajectory. If NYC didn't hit zero with this not sure what it would take to get there at this point. I wasn't expecting it to hit zero but was kind of still rooting for it. Have to wonder if the Arctic front had moved through during the mid afternoon instead of around daybreak if NYC could have squeezed another 2-3 degrees out of it.

Overnight low of -3. Currently-1. Winds still howling. I am ready to move on. The week ahead looks dry with moderating cold. No torch but a least closer to normal by the end of the week. The current snow pack is frozen solid and the mounds will be around for weeks to come out this way.

Winds still howling. Temperature holding between -0.2 and +0.2 since around 7pm.

As they say…thanks for your service. Not an easy job. Especially for those that deliver the mail on foot.

Agree. Dock workers or anyone who has to work outside in this. Terrible. I could never do it.

The coldest air at 850 is just about over us now. With the wind persisting overnight and the coldest of the air overhead currently (at least from the city on westward) I would not be surprised to see temperatures bottom out around mid night and then hold steady or rise slightly before daybreak. CAV is just about peaking now. Temperatures across NY southern tier (BGM area) are holding rather steady last few hours. Maybe another 2-4 degree drop from the city west and another 3-5 across LI.

An even 0 here right now (7:00 p.m.) and house is still creaking from the high winds here on top of the hill.
-
Currently 1.5 here with winds still gusting 25-35 mph. Just too bad that s/w didn't rotate off the coast about 100 or so miles further south and start to go negative. That surface low would have delivered the goods to this entire sub forum. Another near miss of something really good! So close.

Had some light snow for a couple of hours last evening in the hours before mid-night. Woke up at 4:00 this morning to near blizzard conditions in a heavy snow squall as the Arctic front was moving through. Temperature was 21 degrees. Not sure exactly how long that squall lasted. Woke up again at 7:00 and winds were howling and the temperature had fallen to 7 degrees. Currently 5 degrees. Melted total in the the cylinder was .03", that was the easy part of the observation. Snowfall was very difficult to measure with the howling winds and the light fluffy snow. New snow was blown clear in some spots. Found a more sheltered location on the south side of the house and .70" was best measurement. Snow still blowing off rooftops and it looks and feels like the Arctic tundra out there. Fitting way to bring this prolonged bitter cold period to an end. Moderation is coming for next week....still cold though, no torch.

What was ISP total from the storm?
-
mPING lit up pretty good.
-
Visibility up a bit.

Remember Alan standing out on West 57th street in front of CBS Broadcast Center at the height of the storm doing live shots. Not where he wanted to be.

You are correct. Typing too fast.

What a memorable storm that was and will always be. Not my favorite but in the top 10. In some ways it is my favorite because of the times we were living in. No internet. All you had was tv and radio to get info from. As a kid interested in the weather it was a special time. NOAA weather radio with live warm bodies doing the hourly roundup! Still have Accuweather recordings from 1010 WINS.

They do. It is located at Seneca Lake. I had read about it as well a long time ago and totally forgot about it until you mentioned it. I believe the largest of the Finger Lakes are all notably deeper than Lake Erie. Erie is relatively shallow. The smaller lakes in the Finger Lakes region are quite shallow.
-
Yes, much deeper water.

It has been a little bit cold lately. Ice on Chesapeake Bay: https://x.com/i/status/2019537040808046913

Not overlooked by me. Totally agree with you. I find people just don’t want to hear about it or pay attention to it at this time of year. We need to get into an above normal precipitation pattern soon or there will be significant issues as we head into the warm season. We have been in a prolonged below normal precipitation pattern for the better part of a year.

Gotta admire them. Wish I had learned to surf, that train has left the station. Nice video though. https://x.com/i/status/2019349379715305856

As far as CP is concerned I'd be surprised if minimum does not dip below the season minimum to date of 9. Not expecting a 0 in the park but would think on the order of 5, 6 or 7 is well within reach. Cold air trajectory is very favorable along snow covered ground all the way.

This is what you call a bad day. https://x.com/i/status/2017986769208152519 https://x.com/i/status/2018358294356635855

Upside to this is we would clean up some of this mess. Residual road salt is a mess around the area. We'll see how it goes but a signal is there 2/13-15 for precipitation in some form....more likely rain or frozen to rain at least along and east of 95 at this long lead time.
