Wife and I went for a Jebwalk on Roosevelt Island. After I explained the concept of a Jebwalk to her (which she found super-endearing), we measured a 11.8” here. Solid storm in what’s turning out to be a solid winter. I continue to believe we’ve passed the nadir of craptastic winters.

I would say we are back to more than 50% snow on Roosevelt Island.

Seeing some flakes mixing back in on Roosevelt Island, but still mainly mod/heavy sleet. Eyeballing about 10 inches here.

Lol sorry I meant the Hudson. And I know it won’t freeze all the way across, but I do remember seeing some decent icebergs on it during the second halves of the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 winters.

What are the chances the East River freezes?

Retention snobs rejoice! Going to feel like deep winter for a bit. Can’t wait!1

Valid to a point. There’s also no Atlantic Ocean bordering Arkansas….

Shave two inches from the snow component of this and I think it’s a solid forecast.

I think this is a good comparison too. Anyone know offhand what phase the MJO was in during it? I think our being in 6 right now is partly responsible for the upcoming slop storm on the coast. Hopefully we cash in as we move through 8-1-2 during the next few weeks when the cold is around.

Love the nostalgic turn this thread has taken. My journey was AccuWx —> Bill Evans board —> Tristateweather —> Eastern —> Here. Anyone remember a poster on the Bill Evans board named “hani345.” They lived in Newburgh and would always post punctuation-free sentences like: “Bill how windy is it gonna be please Bill I’m scared….”

I read through the last two pages and your post reassured me that I’m not alone. Also, why does the thread title keep changing?

That’s a top-notch list to make if you are hoping for a snowy rest of the winter as well. I genuinely do not understand how any winter wx lovers in the Tri-State found December disappointing. Plenty of reasons for optimism this year after a string of true ratters.

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!
