    Typical click-bait headline. He says "potential", which is saying nothing really; headline says "likely", to get you to look.

    This has to be one of the cloudiest couple of months I can remember. Just anecdotal but it seems like we get maybe 1-2 days of sun per week. Just very dreary overall.

    Many had been saying (but seemed to have stopped) that until this weekend's cutter goes through the models wouldn't really have a credible grasp on how things may play out. Is this still the case?

    I had the album. It was a giveaway from a gas station when you put x amount of gas in (I was 8 in 1969 when it came out). Played it until I memorized it. It's now available on Spotify.

    I wasn't up overnight to see if it snowed but this morning there's no evidence that it did (northern Bergen county where the GSP meets Rockland county).

    Sticking to everything here as well (where the GSP meets NYS). Our very small, very lightly traveled road was also pre-treated and it's sticking to it as well with temps right around freezing. In fact it started sticking in the road around the same time as it started sticking on the asphalt driveway (not pre-treated!). Not to go on a tangent but this pre-treating, which occurs now as soon as snow is mentioned, seems like a huge waste of time, resources and town money. Intensity easing now.

    It's a weather forum and the double standard is mind boggling. Incessant "I hope it's right" cheerleading for snow is fine but showing models with accompanying analysis indicating perhaps why there might be less or no snow is just not to be tolerated?

    As opposed to most others here who do exactly the opposite. With his analysis almost always included, I looked forward to a different viewpoint. It's refreshing amid all the "pattern looks good" and "GFS shows snow in 4 weeks" idiocy with no analysis behind it. Yet all are ok with that inane repetition.

    They root for extreme cold and crippling snowstorms, too. How is this different? They want extremes. And, like winter, the extreme always seems 7-10 days out but doesn't actually get here (save for a 1-2 day surge). Personally, I prefer heat to cold so I'd take heat waves over cold, snowy winters every time. Yes, the lack of sustained humidity has been notable. It seems like there have been more days with deep blue skies already than many summers have all season.

    Been using this mostly but not as good IMO: https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=subregional-Mid_Atlantic-comp_radar-24-1-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined The regional on WU still works but you have to really zoom in: https://www.wunderground.com/radar/us/ct/hartford

    What happened to the wunderground radar sites - they have all been like this for a long time. https://www.wunderground.com/radar/us/pa/philadelphia/dix

    While 80+ would be nice, is not necessary - some sun and into the 70s for more than a day would be a welcome change.

    This seems to be flying thru. Back edge approaching SNJ? Snowing here since 930. Everything but road solidly covered. Road wet with spotty white spots near curb.

    It's vague when demarcations are not mentioned for an event (like 287, 84, Thruway, TZB, or "far N&W", etc). I grew up in Queens and had family in Rockland and thought of that as the hinterlands when I was a kid lol. And snow forecasts always seemed to be "more N&W". I've been where I am now (north-central Bergen county at the Rockland border) for 30 years and since it's not that far N&W but still somewhat so, I am often not sure when "N&W" is just generically thrown around how far N&W is actually meant. The way the crow flies I am about 16 miles from the GWB in Ft Lee, 22 from midtown Manhattan, 35 from the south shore of Brooklyn and 9 from where the TZB hits Rockland and a couple of miles south of due west of it. Following along here helps (I've actually been around since ne.weather but don't post much) and pros (Criag Allen, Lee Goldberg and Nick Gregory are really the only ones I pay attention to) do usually indicate distances/locations.

    NYC dropped from 56 to 38 last hour!
  17. jr461
    Steady light snow from about 7:45 until about 9:15 leaving a solid coating. Now pixie dust falling while the sky has actually brightened a bit.

    If the team representing NYC is one of it's 2 NFL teams (in name anyway) then it's definitely over!

    Very old school reactions but they still pervade. I grew up in Queens in the 60s-70s and that borough was habitually overlooked in terms of plowing so in a big storm you could literally be snowed in (from a driving perspective and we were too far to walk to anything). Most people also just had 2 wheel drive cars so without plowing you had to wait. We really did have to prepare in advance. Now, however, except for the most historical of outcomes, everywhere gets plowed out in a day and everything is back to normal so the stocking up on French toast ingredients days in advance has become quite archaic.

    Snowed here until I went to bed at 11:30. Eyeballed about 3.5 maybe 4 inches - much more than expected. Got the slushy mess off the driveway and steps but with the cold coming this crap will be around everywhere else until the end of the month at least even without another event.

    I still don't understand why anyone would want freezing cold, crippling snowstorm after crippling snowstorm and decaying snow on the ground for months. I can't stand anything about cold or snow anymore yet I've been here since Eastern Wx. It's still interesting and there was a time I also used to love it when I had few responsibilities. Like a harsh winter, a very hot summer is extreme and isn't that what weather enthusiasts are interested in? Anything but the mundane. Personally I'd like temps no lower than about 65 at any time. 80s-90s and sun is perfect, humid or not, with mild nights. Unfortunately I can't move. I'm the anti-Metsfan weather-wise (despite being an actual Mets fan :)) Everyone's perfect is different.

    There doesn't seem to be much if any northward movement of the northern edge past around I80 in NJ straight across the TZ into lower Westchester. Does the heavier stuff abate by the time it does spread further north?

    While tumbleweed blows around in a thread actually entitled Memory Lane. Why it exists is anyone's guess.
  24. jr461
    Can't blame them. If only we had a thread dedicated to historical events
  25. jr461
    I thought this was the memory lane thread I guess that one can be closed since its purpose no longer exists. Too many events in one thread - we're all over the place.
