Can confirm about an even 6 inches in Lindy.

Still snowing steadily at my parents’ house in Lindenhurst (SW Suffolk). This latest band has delivered nicely. About 5.5 inches on the ground now.

Ok.

That deep-winter, tundra feel to it. Perfection!

Just left my parents’ in Lindenhurst (SW Suffolk) to head back to the city. Can confirm that light snow was falling while I was waiting on the platform.

Man never have I understood a perspective so little. After a few shutout years, the tristate has several inches of snow OTG two weeks into met winter in the middle of the holiday season. It’s a great weekend to be a NYC winter wx lover! The last few winters, I’ve had a “close the shades” mentality. Not this year though. We are definitely working against a broader backdrop of a warming climate and less snowiness on a decadal timeframe, but I’m growing confident that this is the year we start cycling up and out of the recent nadir of craptastic winters.

Unapologetically, it’s 100% cozy vibes for me, engendered by cheesy Xmas movies. The holiday just doesn’t seem real for me when we are torching during it.

I distinctly remember you and I on the Bill Evans board discussing this exact surprise on that day.

Can’t believe how long I’ve known the guy from our fun little world here. Talk to us @HurricaneJosh!

Stuck patterns FTW. You really can’t go wrong betting on continuity this decade if you’re a seasonal forecaster.

It’s been stuck in hyperdrive for the better part of a decade now. Any insights on how long things like this usually last?

Yeah this period is painful, but still nothing like the late 80s and late 90s ones.

Moderate snow on Roosevelt Island with a coating on all non-paved surfaces. I wish we weren’t gonna flip!

I always saw them as more of a crapshoot since, in the event of one, you face the risk of shunting all of the cold to the other side of the pole. That’s why I always cringe when there’s SSW talk in the beginning of the winter. You chance burning up valuable climo periods. On the flip side though, when we get toward the waning days of the winter, why not roll the dice on the possibility of some bonus winter wx?

This is basically how I’ve been thinking about the pattern for the past few days. Hopefully it sticks around a bit into Feb before we are probably done outside of some lucky Niña March slop.
