    Yeah, since my son has lived in Philadelphia, I've been reminded of what a difference there can be. Particularly extreme because I live near the Raritan Bay.

    Thanks, guys. I know Erie is very shallow, I was just surprised at the degree of difference versus the other lakes.

    What is the reason for much less ice on Lake Ontario?
  4. Freezing Drizzle
    I had commented that my humidifier has been running non-stop most of this winter, just to keep the interior RH to 35%

    Here on the north NJ coast, most winters, over the decades, do not have snowfall on snow events.

    2010 Snowmageddon - Then snowed again on the 10th?

    WAPO

    WAPO - Incredibly dry in our area too. My humidifier has been running non-stop.

    Minimums for today. Yeah, great differences. Northwest and north-central NJ was particularly cold.

    If this verifies, another "one inch blizzard" effect on Saturday, like 2/2/1976? Forecast for Staten Island - NWS Friday Night Snow likely, mainly after 1am. Cloudy, with a low around 15. Southwest wind 3 to 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. Saturday A 30 percent chance of snow before noon. Cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny and cold, with a temperature rising to near 19 by 10am, then falling to around 13 during the remainder of the day. Windy, with a northwest wind 14 to 19 mph increasing to 28 to 33 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 50 mph.

    Not a snow coverage pattern that one often sees. Complete with coverage in northern Mississippi and a snow hole in Iowa. AW February 1, 2026

    If possible, one can squirt warm water from a hose out a window to clear downspout entry points. Need a brass adaptor with male threading for a standard faucet and the other end with male threading for a standard garden hose.

    My son was in college in DC for this. They called it "Snowmaggedon." Weren't there two back-to-back?

    Like the warm rainstorm 11 days after the January 7-8, 1996 snowstorm.

    Right. The January temperature figures are an example of a flaw that can occur with the use of (only) the mean average. In this case, one data set are high (temperatures) and the other are low (temperatures), the mean makes it appear like the month was in the middle.

    Some people use a heated length of tubing that trickles water out. Of course, it needs to go in before the ice jam. One thing that does help is to open the area where it drains down into the downspout/leader, at least what later melts can trickle away. I melt the area by pouring warm water until it's open. You need to be able to get to the spot though. I have one spot where I do this on the north side of my home.

    Yes! 52.9 F that October. Hasn't averaged below that since. Number 10 since records kept. Good catch. @NorthShoreWx

    The brutally cold season of 1976-1977 only yielded some 25 inches in the NYC area. (24.5" in CPK.)Yes, the snowfalls lasted. lolHeavy ice formation in the waterways. Area ferry services were suspended. Averages by month, Central Park: October 1976 52.9 F (Number 10 since records kept. Got the "cold" ball rolling.)November 1976 41.7 F (The coldest November since 1917 surely further "primed" the cold waters.)December 1976 - 29.9 F (Number 9 since records kept.)January 1977 - 22.1 F (Number 2 since records kept.)February 1977 - 33.5 F @NorthShoreWx Edited.

    My high school buddy moved to Myrtle Beach to get away from this kind of weather. It was in the 70s there last week though.
  23. Freezing Drizzle
    Mostly over for them.
  24. Freezing Drizzle
    How it will likely end up.

    Some ice forming in the brackish water at the west end of Raritan Bay, here. A thin layer extending out 100 to 200 yards (and in the boat basin) has formed. Ice can spread rapidly once the freezing point is reached. I'll keep checking. Needs to be a long-term cold spell to get ice to form in the Raritan Bay. I haven't seen extensive ice in a decade, here.
