Just started changing over around Newark, all surfaces covered.

Turned into a steady snow fairly quickly around Newark.

Still continuous light snow around Newark. Don't think we ever got any sleet. Loving the long duration of this storm.

Heaviest snow of the storm around Newark right now. Visibility about a tenth of a mile.

Winds are howling. Was driving home and the car was getting thrown around. 

Nothing severe here. Gusty winds, a lot of lightning, some thunder, and heavy rain.

Insane bursts of wind and heavy rain the past two hours around EWR.

Quite a dramatic build up to this storm with really dark clouds, gusty winds, and nonstop CTG lightning and thunder. 

Close to a heatwave early next week in Quebec. Montreal forecasted to go into the low 90s on Wednesday with upper 80s on Tuesday and Thursday.

Missed out in upper Manhattan. Dry here.

Just had a snow shower again! Unreal.

Wind whipped snow and rain mix. May 9th. NYC. Quite impressive. 

And I have wind whipped snow mixing in. Yay!

The radar doesn't show any snow right now

Yea, but if you noticed, we got a report of flakes mixing in from Brooklyn and Jersey City. So I thought it was worth a shot to check. 

Stepped outside but didn't catch any flakes in northern Manhattan.

Came close to ruining our below normal streak today, but at 65/44 we still registered a -1, making it the 11th consecutive day of BN temperatures.

I might be in the minority but I do not think this spring has been that bad so far. We've actually had a solid number of dry, sunny days in between the rain. 

Does anyone know where to find the charts that show monthly cloud cover at various stations?

When is the city ever good for winds?

Quite often actually. Last week was windier than it is now. I live right next to the Hudson so we are no strangers to windstorms.

Kind of surprised, the winds here in northern Manhattan are not that impressive. A few gusts probably up to 40mph, but even they aren't consistent. There are moments where it is completely calm. 

I’m not going outside to verify but I hear some pinging on my window a/c unit. Yay?

I escaped to Quebec where there's mountains of snow, but still relatively warm temps.

If Moscow has really gone 60 consecutive days with AN T's and we are living in a world with a static 30-Year Normal, then the odds of this happening at random must be near 10^17/10^5 or 10^12 to 1 against happening at random.      AN and BN days should average out, right?

This is because 2^60 is of the order 10^17 and there are on the order of 10^4 days in a 30 year period.     This streak could have begun on any one of those days.       And further reduce the now 10^12 by 10^2 for let's say any area on the surface of the earth (comprising 1% of the surface---of course Moscow itself isn't the only area that experienced this event so we include the surroundings)  could have experienced this event.

I am left with 10^10 or 100^9 or   100 Billion to 1 that we should hear about any such event happening anywhere in the world at random.      There must be more reasons to reduce this.  Any thoughts?

Moscow has not had a day with a departure of less than +10 since December 4th. They averaged +14.0 for December, and so far, as of January 25th, they are averaging +21.6 for January. Their January minimum is 20F as of right now. 

It is hot out there today. Broke a sweat walking to the gym. Granted its half a mile uphill but still...

Getting another burst of snow right now in Hamilton Heights. Sticking to all surfaces.
