My photos from January 2009 were not during sunset.

No. The 2-day total was 6.8”. The 2-day ratio was 75.6:1.

I have two pictures here, but camera resolution was nowhere near it is today, so the photos didn't fully capture the depth of the pinkish hue. https://wintercenter.homestead.com/photojan2004j.html

Yes. I believe that was the storm with the pink hue.

The moderate-to-significant snowfall today was, in part, due to high snow-liquid ratios. Ratios included: New York City-NYC: 15:1 Islip: 17:1 Philadelphia: 17:1 Newark: 19:1 Bridgeport: 20:1 New York City-JFK: 20:1 New York City-LGA: 29:1 In the wake of today's snowfall, tomorrow will be mostly sunny, blustery and cold. The mercury will likely rise no higher than the lower or perhaps middle 30s. Some freezing rain is possible on Sunday. An even stronger cold shot is likely early next week. January commenced with an AO-/PNA- pattern. That typically favors somewhat cooler than normal readings in the East. For NYC, the January 1-10, 1991-2020 mean temperature for such cases was 33.5° (normal: 34.8°). This time around, the average will be warmer, but the transition toward colder weather has occurred. By mid-month, New York City's temperature anomaly will likely be below normal. Arctic air could will likely reach the Middle Atlantic region early next week. Based on the latest guidance, it appears that the colder pattern that is now in place could last 3-4 weeks. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -1.5°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -1.0°C for the week centered around December 29. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -1.33°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.98°C. La Niña conditions will likely persist through meteorological winter. The SOI was +8.67 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) figure was not available today. On January 5 the MJO data was not available. The January 4-adjusted amplitude was 1.861 (RMM). Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 66% probability that New York City will have a colder than normal January (1991-2020 normal). January will likely finish with a mean temperature near 32.0° (1.7° below normal).

Looking through the guidance, it seems that last night's 0z HREF was really the first model to come out with the kind of totals that we actually saw. It was a pleasant surprise.

Three photos from today's snowstorm:

Morning thoughts… Heavy snow will end this morning and the sun will return during the afternoon from west to east. It will be cold. High temperatures will likely reach mainly the lower and middle 30s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include: New York City (Central Park): 34° Newark: 36° Philadelphia: 35° Normals: New York City: 30-Year: 39.7°; 15-Year: 40.7° Newark: 30-Year: 40.2°; 15-Year: 41.4° Philadelphia: 30-Year: 41.6°; 15-Year: 42.5° Tomorrow will be sunny and cold. An Arctic shot lies ahead for early next week.

A fast moving storm will bring snow to the region late tonight into tomorrow. This storm will likely develop a little too far offshore and too late to deliver a significant snowfall to most of the region. However, there could be a period of heavy snow on Long Island and especially across eastern New England. The absence of blocking will inhibit prospects for a long-duration snowfall. Snowfall estimates: Baltimore: 1"-3" Boston: 4"-8" Bridgeport: 2"-4" Islip: 3"-6" New York City: 2"-4" Newark: 2"-4" Philadelphia: 2"-4" Poughkeepsie: 1"-3" Providence: 4"-8" Washington, DC: 1"-3" January commenced with an AO-/PNA- pattern. That typically favors somewhat cooler than normal readings in the East. For NYC, the January 1-10, 1991-2020 mean temperature for such cases was 33.5° (normal: 34.8°). This time around, the average will be warmer, but the overall tendency toward cooler weather is underway. By mid-month, New York City's temperature anomaly could be near or even somewhat below normal. The coldest air will likely remain confined to the Pacific Northwest, Northern Plains, and western and central Canada through this week. Afterward, the cold could press farther south into at least the northern Middle Atlantic and Ohio Valley regions. Arctic air could briefly reach the Middle Atlantic region during the second week of January. The colder pattern that has discontinuously developed just after the New Year could last for two or perhaps three weeks before it breaks down. Thus, it could begin to break down sometime in the January 15-20 timeframe. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -1.5°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -1.0°C for the week centered around December 29. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -1.33°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.98°C. La Niña conditions will likely persist through meteorological winter. The SOI was +8.67 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) figure was not available today. On January 4 the MJO was in Phase 7 at an amplitude of 1.861 (RMM). The January 3-adjusted amplitude was 2.127 (RMM).

Morning thoughts… Clouds will increase as the day wears on. It will be colder. High temperatures will likely reach mainly the upper 30s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include: New York City (Central Park): 39° Newark: 40° Philadelphia: 38° Normals: New York City: 30-Year: 39.9°; 15-Year: 40.8° Newark: 30-Year: 40.3°; 15-Year: 41.4° Philadelphia: 30-Year: 41.6°; 15-Year: 42.5° A fast moving developing storm will bring a general 2”-4” snowfall from Philadelphia to New York City with locally higher amounts. Eastern New England and much of Long Island will likely see 3”-6”. Boston will likely pick up 4”-8”. Allentown will receive its first measurable snowfall of the season, which will be its 5th latest on record. The last later first measurable snowfall occurred during winter 2015-16 on January 12th. The overnight guidance is looking more robust. If the 12z and 18z guidance holds, amounts could be increased somewhat.

It will turn colder tomorrow ahead of a snowfall on Friday. At present, it appears that the storm will develop a little too far offshore and too late to deliver a significant snowfall to the region. Initial snowfall estimates: Baltimore: 2"-4" Boston: 4"-8" Bridgeport: 2"-4" Islip: 2"-4" New York City: 2"-4" Newark: 2"-4" Philadelphia: 2"-4" Poughkeepsie: 1"-3" Providence: 3"-6" Washington, DC: 1"-3" January commenced with an AO-/PNA- pattern. That typically favors somewhat cooler than normal readings in the East. For NYC, the January 1-10, 1991-2020 mean temperature for such cases was 33.5° (normal: 34.8°). This time around, the average will be warmer, but the overall tendency toward cooler weather is underway. By mid-month, New York City's temperature anomaly could be near or even somewhat below normal. The coldest air will likely remain confined to the Pacific Northwest, Northern Plains, and western and central Canada through this week. Afterward, the cold could press farther south into at least the northern Middle Atlantic and Ohio Valley regions. Arctic air could briefly reach the Middle Atlantic region during the second week of January. The colder pattern that has discontinuously developed just after the New Year last for two or perhaps three weeks before it breaks down. Thus, it could begin to break down sometime in the January 15-20 timeframe. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -1.5°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -1.0°C for the week centered around December 29. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -1.33°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.98°C. La Niña conditions will likely persist through meteorological winter. The SOI was +8.67 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) figure was +0.343 today. On January 3 the MJO was in Phase 7 at an amplitude of 2.127 (RMM). The January 2-adjusted amplitude was 2.089 (RMM).

Unfortunately, there was a fatality in one of the accidents near where the Bronx River Parkway meets the Cross County Parkway.

There’s light freezing rain in New Rochelle and multiple accidents. Both the northbound and southbound traffic on the Hutchinson River Parkway is at a standstill.

Morning thoughts… It will be mostly cloudy and milder. Some showers are possible. Initially, there could be some freezing rain, especially north and west of Newark and New York City. High temperatures will likely reach mainly the lower and middle 40s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include: New York City (Central Park): 44° Newark: 46° Philadelphia: 44° Normals: New York City: 30-Year: 40.0°; 15-Year: 40.9° Newark: 30-Year: 40.5°; 15-Year: 41.7° Philadelphia: 30-Year: 41.8°; 15-Year: 42.8° Another system could bring snow to parts of the region on Friday. Most of the region could be in line for a 1”-3”/2”-4” snowfall, but eastern New England and eastern Suffolk County could see an area of 3”-6” snowfall.

Milder air will return tomorrow ahead of the next cold front. There could be some showers. It will turn colder on Thursday ahead of a possible snowfall on Friday. At present, it appears that the storm will develop a little too far offshore and too late to deliver a significant snowfall to the region. Instead, it could be the type of storm that brings a 1"-3"/2"-4" snowfall with higher amounts in eastern New England and across eastern Long Island. January commenced with an AO-/PNA- pattern. That typically favors somewhat cooler than normal readings in the East. For NYC, the January 1-10, 1991-2020 mean temperature for such cases was 33.5° (normal: 34.8°).

The coldest air will likely remain confined to the Pacific Northwest, Northern Plains, and western and central Canada through this week. Afterward, the cold could press farther south into at least the northern Middle Atlantic and Ohio Valley regions. Arctic air could reach the Middle Atlantic region during the second week of January. There is a chance that temperatures will fall well into the teens and perhaps even single digits in New York City early next week. The colder pattern that has discontinuously developed just after the New Year last for two or perhaps three weeks before it breaks down. Thus, it could begin to break down sometime in the January 15-20 timeframe. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -1.5°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -1.0°C for the week centered around December 29. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -1.33°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.98°C. La Niña conditions will likely persist through meteorological winter. The SOI was +3.40 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) figure was -0.649 today. On January 2 the MJO was in Phase 7 at an amplitude of 2.183 (RMM). The January 1-adjusted amplitude was 2.086 (RMM).

Washington, DC has now gone 1,066 days since its last sub-20 temperature.

February 1989 had a monthly total of 1.0” at DCA. 2/24 brought just 0.3”. December 1989 was much snowier with 9.0”. 12/8 3.6” and 12/12-13 4.5” were the biggest events.

Yes, you are correct. It was only the 10th day with 12.0” or more, half of which have occurred since 2000.

Morning thoughts… It will be mostly sunny, breezy and cold. High temperatures will likely reach mainly the lower and middle 30s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include: New York City (Central Park): 33° Newark: 35° Philadelphia: 34° Normals: New York City: 30-Year: 40.1°; 15-Year: 41.1° Newark: 30-Year: 40.6°; 15-Year: 41.8° Philadelphia: 30-Year: 41.9°; 15-Year: 42.9° Another system could bring snow to parts of the region on Friday.

Atlantic City picked up 13.0” of snow while both Newark and New York City received none. That surpassed the old record of February 24, 1989 when Atlantic City was buried by 12.3" of snow while Newark and NYC received none

Yes. That’s correct.
