    Lol I’m twice that. I meant anything weather-related prior to 2009 is a bit hazy, unless it was very major. I remember a blizzard in 2006, NYC schools closing for the first time (in my memory), but anything between that and the summer of 2009 is a blur.

    I wasn’t alive in the 80’s, but it sounded awful. I only have a clear memory of 2009 onwards (weather-wise), that was right around the time our snowfall amounts went haywire. My normal is abnormal.

    My semi-sheltered PWS recorded a 30mph gust, only the 2nd time that has happened. Actual gusts were higher of course. Pressure bottomed out at 975.2mb, lowest I’ve ever recorded.

    It’s a good thing that Weather/Climate is wholly unaffected by individual comfort levels*, I want a string of 70’s right now but I’ll settle for what we’ve been getting. *Oddly enough, EWR did reach 80 in February 2018, a mere 2 weeks after I made a post suggesting that very thing was bound to happen in the future. But despite the mild temperatures this winter it hasn’t been consistently warm enough to disturb the already heavily disturbed natural environment from its slumber. Enjoy the not-cold weather.

    Drove through a bit of mixing on I-95 NE of Philly but otherwise all misty rain from about I-195 all the way to Suffolk.

    Lightly snowing in Trenton.

    Now that January has ended we get our first look at the 1991-2020 averages. NYC, LGA, JFK, and EWR now have an average high of 40°F in January, up from 39°F in the 1981-2010 averages. EWR is leading the pack at 40.3°F. ISP falls short by 0.1°F. Islip is now “subtropical”, meaning that the mean temperature in its coldest month (January) is at the freezing point 32°F, up from 31°F in the 1981-2010 averages.

    I would’ve expected snow totals to be far greater just based on how it looked up there, those were some serious drifts. Also beginning to wish we’d switch over to the metric system (while retaining °F), I’m tired of having to make conversions between imperial and metric.

    Heaviest rains of the day just as the rain is moving out, closing in on 1.00”. Sky getting brighter despite the sun having set already.

    Made it to 57 here, 10 degrees above forecast.

    51 right now but with the sunshine and calm winds it feels like it’s in the 60’s, I’m out here in a t-shirt.

    21 this morning with tons of frost, colder than forecast. Yesterday’s low of 18 was the coldest temp so far this January, and 17 back in December is the lowest temp so far this winter. Only one sub-freezing high temp this winter. Our area’s flora would look radically different if this was the norm, even if our average temps remained the same as they are now.

    I still find myself expecting “the big one” to be right around the corner, but is it (almost) safe to say that the excessive snowfall pattern of the 2010’s has ran its course? Last winter was the first with BN snowfall in what felt like ages, and this winter isn’t shaping up to be any better.

    2.5” final, 8.6” for the season, third measurable event. 40/39....0.44” of precip.
  16. Cfa
    That’s one of the weirdest radar returns I’ve seen for snow.
  17. Cfa
    Not for long, switched to rain here.
  18. Cfa
    33/33 and rain now.
  19. Cfa
    Averaging 2.5” here, ranging from 2.0” to 2.9”. 33/32, snowing moderately.
  20. Cfa
    33/33 and moderate to heavy snow.

    The LIE is a train wreck. Accident after accident, you’d think it was actually snowing for real. 29/27 with light snow.
  22. Cfa
    29/19 Snow should be starting within the next couple of minutes.

    26/15

    22 this morning, 4th coldest low temp this winter.

    Extensive tree damage, even after the March 2010 Nor’easter and Irene cleared out a lot of the weaker trees.
