I’m in the NW corner of Manhattan with a little elevation. I have seen time and time again In these marginal setups this area behave more like the near Nw burbs then the rest of the city. We shall see how this one does, but using the forecast for the city for this area will get you burned
It’s sleet I’m worried about, sleet accumulates more efficiently then any other form of frozen precip. If we get a couple hours of sleet in the northern city this could end up an impactful event!
It’s non stop with even a hint of wintery precip. I guess they aren’t concerned about killing already stressed street trees. I’m going to start taking salt accumulation obs here on the uws.
That was 97/98. Some pretty strong nor’easters that winter that we’re all rain. The key that winter was a super nino. I’m a really big fan of pattern recognition and I fully expect some winter cancel calls as we head past the new year. Mid January through mid February has always been my thoughts for the sweet spot. Hard to go against peak snow climo for a multitude of reasons.
I know, I was just messing with you. As long as your fiancé understands your obsession. I would at least move to the colder suburbs. You get so much more for your money too!
He’s not going to budge. Why he would decide to marry a girl that hates cold and snow is beyond me. I just got out of a 15 year relationship with a cold and snow hater and now am with a lover. We have plans of moving to New England eventually and it’s a beautiful thing!
I think we are seeing some better signs then last year. Is a blockbuster winter incoming? Probably not. It’s almost a lock that December is above normal post 2011.
Agreed, never been a fan of this one. In midtown it will be what snow? Expecting a slushy coating on paved surfaces on the uws, maybe an inch or two on the grass. The grounds going to be radiating heat!
Yeah it wasn’t about boring, just the rainy damp weather. I’ll take cold and dry to snow to cold and dry. We should see at least one extended period like that after the holidays
Same here, this weather is the worst as I cannot get anything accomplished. One thing is for sure, no real winter periods are coming. We should see that flip in January to sustained cold and snow. This is not 11/12
So your saying the euros skill is less then it used to be? I highly doubt that.
Too many things need to go right for this to be more then some wet non accumulating snow (in the city) I’ll take a slushy coating as I like all snow but keep expectations low
Great conditions today at Stratton with that mid winter vibe. The 20” earlier in the week and 4” yesterday have the place cruising. Even with the hit this week there will still be plenty of snow left
Yeah, I guess the same in wantagh. In the city we lost a ton during the day to melting so that would have been a solid event. The front end would have went to rain on the coast regardless of time of year
