Coastal waters here are still in the upper 30s. Any onshore wind and the warmup crashes to an end.

The sun is as high in the sky now as late September. It’ll try to warm up when it can. I think most of us are in the 70s on Sunday. Of course that doesn’t apply to the south shore barrier islands that might be lucky to hit 50. Springs suck down there.

Not a typical La Niña snow distribution. You’d at least expect the NW and N Rockies to do very well and better in the upper Midwest. NNE still has a ways to go but they usually do very well also in a Nina.

They got absolutely blasted and the official ob from 2 days ago had 51” on the ground. I believe it.

And add 5-10 degrees to those temps this time of year with no leaves on the trees and where winds aren’t onshore.

I was one who thought this would be another lame to maybe average at best winter. We really lucked out with the Nov SSW and somewhat slowed Pacific Jet.

Yep Sunday could be a sneaky warm day away from the south shore.

Once the snow is done I want the cold to be done too. The low getting down to 23 does nothing for me except hike my heating bill. I guess it keeps the bugs away a little longer.

51” on the ground there yesterday. Insane.

Down to 23-24 this morning.

Probably. Seemed like there was a lot of tree damage from the blizzard too.

Lots of clearing operations on the parkways here today-branches and trees down. Thankfully I kept power but not far from me lost it.

Thankfully my power’s OK. Hope I don’t drive by lots of downed trees on the way to Hewlett this afternoon.

Every winter here has down periods. We’re not in the Yukon. 95-96 had an awful late Jan into Feb, 2010-11 essentially ended after 2/1, 14-15 didn’t get started until late Jan. This winter was about as wall to wall as you’ll ever see here. If it’s over now, that’s still a huge win.

Too high up here but it's impossible to predict in advance where the best banding sets up. The RGEM maybe showed it best with the western snow max then second one over eastern LI. You have the western band with high ratios then the second max with the highest QPF and semi-shaft zone in between in most storms like these.
