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.

Ugh!

This is a clear violation of site conduct rules.

There's no sugar coating it; this winter sucks. I think they retired the zookeeper. It's someone else's job to ignore minor accumulations now. We had 0.6" back around 12/12, but that's effectively 0"
-
So you think the 70s and 80s represent the real local climate and the kids think that the 00's and 10's do. Both are looking at this too narrowly.
-
Fun fact: there are no native earthworms in New York.
-
If that is how you gage climate, then the climate wasn't the 70s and 80s either. There has been no other such period in the record going back to 1869 with such low snowfall in NYC. The closest to that had more than 25% greater snowfall than the 70's and 80s.

Whiteout conditions in Smithtown, January 23, 2016: I skied over to the town golf course for those who know the area.

Meanwhile, in Ireland:
-
Ah, there they are. I prematurely canceled drinking emoticons.
-
Hmmm. Quiet here too. Here's to snowier times <damn, there's not even a beer emoticon any more> Inconceivable!

without editing. Getting nervous this was spot on.

The dong of Damocles. Be careful out there.

Bad karma emanating from weather forums.

Since we're in nostalgia mode, here is more from 1996, including additional maps at the bottom: https://www.northshorewx.com/19960108.html PS, I was in Pine Hill yesterday (very close to the base of Belleayre Mountain) and there is almost no snow left in the Catskills, including at elevation. Snow on the ski trails is a ribbon of slush. I'm hoping to ski at the end of next week, but I might be skiing on grass if no improvement.
