    Push alerts came in as it was pulling out.

    Going to call out - in case we are tracking these things now: the severe thunderstorm warning area seems off (looking at RadarScope) - we had no warning here. this seemed to not match radar: * This severe thunderstorm will be near... Mott Haven and Midtown Manhattan around 1040 PM EDT. Laguardia Airport and Jackson Heights around 1045 PM EDT. East Tremont around 1050 PM EDT. Co-op City around 1100 PM EDT. City Island around 1105 PM EDT.

    Hail! and frequent lightning on UWS.

    Wife and walked across Manhattan (from the Hudson to 1st Ave). On our way back we were in Central Park and I noted how it suddenly felt warmer - muggy - because the wind had stopped. Then the east wind started cranking. Amazing. A back door front reminiscent of Boston in April. The CPK obs show it - wind was calm at the 16:51 reading and it was still 79.

    Incredible, dense, shipwrecking fog on the Hudson.

    As soon as I hear "kicker" I'm out.

    Seems to be ending as a fine light snow. I’m guessing we pushed 3” here on UWS (saw the 2.8 at CPK which seems right for when it was reported). At least it’s not getting washed off the trees.

    Re: picture uploads: if you are on an iPhone using Safari, when you have the picture selection window open, there is a little toggle button in the bottom right. You can click that and select smaller file sizes.

    Changed over to sleet on UWS at 9:45. I know because I went out for a short Jebwalk and was delighted to find it was still fluffy flakes. Within five minutes it was pinging on my hood. I measured 2.5” on benches before the change over.

    I’m excited for manhole explosion season here.

    Forgive me if someone covered this but at CPK 30.0 avg temp for January -2.1 against average (32.1) going back to 1869, making it the 53 coldest out of 157. -4 below average since 1990 (34). 8th coldest since 1990; only the following were colder: Also notable - out of that list, we move ahead of 2014 and 2015 when looking at high temperatures. (6th coldest avg high temp since 1990). We will slide a bit to finish the month, but yes, it's been cold.

    I'm on the UWS, near the River, a little less susceptible to heat island, but more susceptible to any W wind and impact from the River. My tried and true method of sticking my fingers into the snow on benches and railings could not get me to 2".

    Do you live in Manhattan? I’m about a mile from the CPK station and I couldn’t measure 2” last night anywhere. I would have guessed more like 1.8” but it’s not some criminal under measurement. Still enough to create a winter wonderland with the cold.

    Sadly, i think the 1.6" is not far off for Manhattan. My eyeball measurements would be more like 1.75; I don't think we got to 2".
  16. hooralph
    Not adding up to too much at this point - maybe 1.5 or a bit more? But a stunning night.

    It was not forecast to get heavy until 6-9 here. Whether we get to 3-5 or not remains to be seen, but up where I am (the low 100s near the Hudson) all side streets are covered. It is sticking and accumulating quickly now.
  18. hooralph
    Escalated quickly here on the UWS. All cross streets snow covered, even Riverside Drive (the main road). Not having trouble sticking now

    Never mind Cajun Navy gonna need skimobiles.

    How much for... the oil rigs and shrimp boats?

    1899 says hi.

    Anyone who bet on “enough snow to sled” in Manhattan can collect

    This past week here in the city was brutal. Not the coldest temps we've seen this decade, but the relentless wind made it miserable.
  24. hooralph
    I suspect 1888 and 1947 are the true GOATs and would stand alone probably in the 30s using today's measurement practices.
  25. hooralph
    Yeah I don't think they were brushing off the snowboard to get measurements every 6 hours in 1888.
