  1. Yep, your typical Miller B with the sharp cutoff where it screws you after developing too late. The day before that Feb 2017 storm was very warm, and I think it started very briefly as rain or no accumulating snow in Long Beach but very quickly started pounding and sticking everywhere.
  2. I’d give this winter a B-/C+ if we’re really done with any decent snow from here. Definitely cold but once again enormous potential wasted for big storms when we had the cold. Jan 25th as good an event as it was had the most snow north of me since it ended up behaving as SWFEs do. We did luck out in Dec with the clippers but across the area we’re still below average for seasonal snow and I can’t rate the winter as that good unless we make it above average.
  3. Try living through a Texas summer like I did (twice) and get back to me. Absolutely horrendous.
  4. Chance at some sleet/freezing rain later especially north of the city but maybe north shore as well.
  5. I mean it’s Feb 10th now. Temp averages start going up pretty substantially from here and the sun is noticeably getting stronger. It’s the equivalent of August 10th in the summer-can still be hot but the worst is in the past.
  6. I remember that one, was a fun event in Nassau County. I think I had 10” or so. Was one of those that blew up for NYC and NE into New England.
  7. Or a marine heatwave somewhere else counteracts it. It’ll be interesting next winter if we go into a Nino, hopefully the western Pacific warmth can shift east and nudge the forcing east of the Dateline.
  8. I have almost 31” for the season so I can’t call that a disappointment (even if it’s a little below normal for the season still) but it would be a major bummer still if we strike out on snow from here on out. Pretty confident though we can still get enough together to make it above average. Central Park is further away from normal 21”, it might be tough getting them to near 30” even though a couple events were undermeasured.
  9. Really cool to see all the young kids playing hockey on the ponds.
  10. 8 this morning (like the 5th or 6th time this winter). Hopefully the last single digit morning.
  11. A positive for sure. But when the ice piles in the parking lots turn black and grimy I either want more snow or it to start melting. More snow doesn't look too likely so...
  12. If we’re really headed to a warm/rainy pattern, nothing I hate more than rain to dry cold. Let it really warm up then.
  13. Just glad it’s uphill from here on the temps. Today will still be bitterly cold but by midweek we’ll start having real snowmelt and conditions actually suitable for being outside.
  14. La Nina eventually does what it does-early winter is when you want to cash in.
  15. Down to 4. Maybe we can slide down a couple more degrees but don’t think we make it to zero. Not that it matters with how brutal it is. Thankfully tonight will be the coldest night of the winter and it’s up from here.
  16. I’ve never sure how it was ever figured out how -30 for example “feels” like in the old and new way. Or on the other hand how 110 feels like. I guess they have to assign a number to how dangerous extreme cold like this or heat is and how humidity and wind speed worsen it.
  17. The snow does a good job of insulating those pricks.
  18. Starting to feel better in the sun during the afternoons even when we get to around freezing. Noticeably getting higher in the sky now.
  19. -18!! It’s absolutely brutal.
  20. Yep, we probably make it to 5 or a couple degrees lower then steady. The strong wind allows the city to cool down and eliminate UHI but also keeps us from really radiating.
  21. And it’s still coming down over the forks. They might end up with 10”.
  22. We lost the last storm because it was a disorganized strung out mess that dug too far south.
  23. Maybe some minor sound enhancement looking at the radar. Flurries here and down to 12. Feels brutal.
  24. We’ll see, honestly haven’t been paying too much attention. By Wed hopefully we’ll have a better idea. If we’re going to a -PNA we always risk overrunning setups and warming us up at our latitude too much. Maybe the -NAO can help redevelop the storm in time for us.
