This morning's snow clearing shenanigans: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTG0DRUCCVW/?igsh=MTRsN3l5MXN1MzJiaA==

And you say he got there from Williamsport on just a quarter bale of hay?

FWIW, my backyard sensor had 0° on 1/4/2014 (snow depth was 8"). Then we hit 50 on the 5th and 58 on the 6th after which we repeated the whole cycle (6° on the 7th, 59° on the 11th). Following that we had constant snow cover of at least 2" from January 23 through March 10 (max 20" on February 16 and February 18). March was cold, but the snowstorms stayed down in the mid Atlantic or that winter could have rivaled 1996 for snowfall. Other 0° days IMBY: -2 2/21/2015 -1 2/24/2015 -2 2/14/2016 Close but no cigar: 1° 1/7/2018 3° 1/31/2019 3° 2/4/2023 The last time we had single digits at my site was 6° on 1/23/2025

Not at all. 2015 and 2016 come to mind and it's happened once or twice this decade too. I'd have to check, but I think maybe 2018 too.

Picked up 0.6" new snow here this morning. Still snowing lightly. 26⁰

Light measurable here again. 3 of the first 4 days of the year. I like the percentage. 25⁰, S-

Been seeing hockey games on the ponds here for a week now.

Addendum: December 2025 was the 5th coldest out of the past 31 Decembers here. It didn't even seem that cold, but certainly we didn't have the extreme warm outlier days that seem to have become prevalent in December. 12/25 average was 33.1, December mean is 37.2. Here are the 5 coldest: December 2000 - 29.6° December 1995 - 30.7° December 2010 - 32.2° December 2002 - 32.9° December 2025 - 33.1°

On the heels of yesterday's "record breaking" New Years Day snowfall, here are some more stats from the current winter season in Smithtown: The period of record for snowfall is 10/1/1995 through the present. The old daily January 1st record of 0.1" was the lowest daily record of any date between November 30 and March 25. Yesterday's 0.3" of snowfall shattered (tripled ) the old record set on New Years Day 2010. Here are all New Years Day snowfalls in Smithtown since 1996: 1997 - Trace 2006 - Trace 2010 - 0.1" 2014 - Trace 2020 - Trace 2021 - Trace 2026 - 0.3" Snowfall this season through 1/2 is 13.4". The December mean temperature was 33.1° and monthly snowfall was 13.0". Thus far we have had 11 days with at least a trace of snow, 7 days with measurable snowfall, and 3 days with at least 1 inch. Total precipitation for December was 4.33". Total precipitation for 2025 was 39.46" (8.34" below the 13-year average) Finally, the only other day in January with a daily snowfall record below 1" is January 13 (0.5" in 2000). We might have a shot at breaking that this year.

Same here. Was that you on mping near that same location?

I assume he's 12 years old.

Perfect fetch for LIS effect snow into the north fork right now. @wthrmn654 might wake up to a surprise. 21⁰ with light snow in Smithtown at 2am. Temp had been down to 16⁰ earlier.

Where has LongBeachSurfFreak been?

Right on the edge here. Those annoying models that said we would be right on the edge were right. How annoying.
