    Chris, since you mentioned ratings: 1995-1996 - A+. 75". Snowstorm after snowstorm, with 31" from the Jan7-8 storm; heck, even the rainstorm 11 days after "the big one" was interesting. Started with a bang with an accumulating "cold" snow in late November.1972-1973 - F. It never even looked like winter. Zero measurable snow, along with most anyone else south of a line from around Staten Island to Trenton. Was cold enough at times, but the temperature would always rise before the precipitation. Boy Scout Klondike Derby at Camp Sakawawin at Stokes State Forest was a muddy mess.2025-2026 to-date. B.

    Wow. 1 pm area temperatures.

    Last Sunday, there was 100 to 200 yards of ice from the shoreline on the western end of the Raritan Bay near me. I'll bundle up and check to see if it has expanded.

    Yep. Alan Kasper, Craig Allen, et al.

    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.
  7. Freezing Drizzle
    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?

    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?
  22. Freezing Drizzle
    Like the warm rainstorm 11 days after the January 7-8, 1996 snowstorm.
  23. Freezing Drizzle
    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
