A little bit more than a dusting in Garwood NJ, central Union County. Fox Wx said it was mixed rain and snow in Manhattan?

It is being "eaten up" by the dry air as we speak. Hopefully some of it finds its way here...

While the main storm appears to remain way south of our area, there is a large snow shield all the way up to Ohio?

I wonder if they get any good snow storms?

I debated with one poster stating that it is not really that cold, more like "Seasonable", but it is the winds making the wind chill effect unbearable.

Actually saw kids playing hockey on a local pond in Linden today! Unheard of over the last 30 years or so (sort of). Can't have snow without a cold air source. That's why I have to keep posting my snow triangle (for the NYC metro area)...

I'll take the blizzard and snow pack. I'm used to the Mets losing.

Just a light covering here in the Tremley Point section of Linden NJ. Exactly as forecast, but I'm surprised the dry air didn't just eat up the northern fringe... -

I think I was reading last night how the suppression will increase the closer to the coast you get? -

This morning it was 32 degrees at 9AM, not exactly cold for this time of year.

What little I do know, our region has warmed faster than other areas, due to the slowing down of the Gulf Stream/Labrador currents circulation. That, combined with the menace of a Pacific Jet, has not left us a favorable snow situation. I understand that warmer air can feed more moisture into a winter storm, and thus producing more snow, but as you have mentioned, there is a tipping point. But I always fall back to a basic concept, the snow triangle (for the NYC metro area). Without a true cold air source, you can't have snow. I'm a pessimist, so my perspective is obscured. Patterns can change, and we might actually get true arctic air spilling down across the pole into eastern Canada. Or some "new" type of pattern could develop, but I tend to buy into the general warming trend unless some time of correction occurs (such as the theory of a rapid melting of the ice caps could cool down the oceans, thus causing a sudden swing back to a colder climate).

The Northern Pacific stream has been a thorn in the greater NYC metro area's winters. It's affect this winter has been minimal. But until we see a nice spillover of cold air straight down across the pole into eastern Canada, winters will be warmer, less snow (in general).
