Sounds like you and your lawn are green with envy.

0.3" snowfall in Smithtown this morning. Brings the season total to a whopping 0.9"
-
Starting to coat the street and driveways now. January shutout avoided.
-
32⁰ with light snow falling. Snow has gotten a little heavier and there is a light coating on unpaved surfaced. Judging from radar, we are about to avoid a January shutout. It's the little things in life...

Light snow here

The DJF thought occurred to me after I posted, but for some reason I couldn't edit the post from my phone. The trend line did look reasonable.

My understanding is that since 2015 is has reverted back and it's supposed to be the peak depth of accumulated new snow in a 24 hour period. I recognize that may not be happening at at least some airports, but the apples to crabapples comparison also applies within the set of contemporary snowfall measurements.

The underlying data in that chart looks suspect. Just one easy example, January average mean in 1977 was 22⁰. 1918 may have been the coldest, but it was a lot colder than 26⁰. I'm not sure if the average max that year was that high. Not arguing with the trend line, but this looks off.

Was wondering where he is now. I hope he's ok.

I can still remember ice. Mrs and me on Long Island Sound, 2015:

We used to head down to the ocean beaches. No matter if July or August, it was always a shock getting into that cold water. Of course we were kids, so once in the water it was hard to get us out no matter how much we were shivering.

N Smithtown rainfall for yesterday's event was 1.52". We had a mix of snow and rain for a couple of hours. Briefly mostly snow, but very wet. Temp fell from 42 to 36 during the mixed precip then maxed at 56 shortly before 1am this morning.

There were a few main theories. Another was some kind of pathogen. The water warming is probably what prevents recovery.

When I was a kid there was a significant Long Island Sound lobster business. Now they're even struggling in Maine.

That location on Rt 16 is at about 500 feet. The base of Mount Cranmore (summit approx 1700 feet ) is about a half mile east of there. Really pounding up at Wildcat: https://www.skiwildcat.com/the-mountain/mountain-conditions/mountain-cams.aspx

The NY forum was even worse then than it is now. The next snow chance in the Old Farmers Almanac was always in the 10 day range. I suspect the great depression didn't help with the mood either.

They'll blow snow on Superstar in April if they have too.

I'm going with a persistence forecast. Persistence tells me that something that probably hasn't happened in 1000 years, probably won't happen this year. Meanwhile:
-
If the snow added up a fraction as much as the NY ennui, we'd be in business. It's often more monotonous than the weather. Steady light snow continues. Temp stuck at 35°
-
Southwest CT coast has been in a hole evidenced by radar. Legit light snow here for the past half hour. Nice flakes. Not sticking. 35° White rain = mostly to nearly completely melted snowflakes reaching the ground.
-
Light snow started in N. Smithtown at 1:05pm. 35.7°
-
0.91" rainfall as of 11:15am
-
Big difference between the 3k and 12k NAM snow maps on TT.

As a kid in the autumn of 1977, I predicted a snowstorm for February 6. My orthodontist had asked me when it was going to snow. He remembered the prediction when it actually happened. I didn't know squat, I just liked that date.
