If we can just get the RGEM outcome 50 miles SE that would be perfect for everyone. Not a huge storm but possibly 6”+ for some. It’s a matter of the S/W sharp enough to generate lift and on a good track as others pointed out. Would be nice to have a decent snow before this cold push.

Models are showing us in the low single digits and below zero just inland on Tue AM and any snow cover would make it even colder. It’s not historic cold but impressive all the same.

Westhampton down to 5.

Fingers crossed, hopefully the changes aloft are happening to get us a decent event. 2-5” may as well be a HECS this year.

Way colder than expected, down to 13 this AM.

Looking forward to my consolation coating gone in an hour.

There was an appreciable increase in snow around Massapequa and definitely 20” or so once you reached Rt 231. I drove from Long Beach back to my house on the N Shore and noticed the increase in Massapequa and another dropoff once you went north through Dix Hills. My house had probably 14-15” and Huntington village 10-11”. There was definitely a shaft zone around there. East on Jericho Tpke the amounts visibly went up again around Larkfield Rd area.

New Orleans, Pensacola and Charleston with more seasonal snow than NYC. That would be just hilarious. Not even sure 79-80 could pull that off.

And we had a very wet December at the times it was too warm for snow. It’s one of those seasons where the fast Pacific flow is ruining any chances at amplification, and we have the trough position in a bad place w/no real WAR when we need it. Hopefully that changes soon but could very well be that we deal with more of the same boredom and misery.

If we can retain some cold and get the storm track to trend back north with some kind of SE Ridge I like our chances here a lot more. Whatever gets this suppressed to hell pattern to end…

There would be no palm trees left from Myrtle Beach to Savannah. Palmetto Pulverizer.

I have 4” or so, the White Christmas was nice of course but going into met winter mid-point at peak climo for snow with that much, when Nina winters usually torch in Feb, is very lousy at a minimum especially when places way south of us have gotten slammed and look to keep doing so. Hopefully one of these waves can produce something, otherwise we’ll go into Feb well below average. In the past few winters we’ve been able to make something happen in February, so there’s that. But besides that for me it’s just been miserable. The lack of snow is more tolerable with warmer conditions, this cold/windy/dry bare ground sucks.

How great for you.

Eventually the -PNA and typical Nina warm February will come and we can finally announce time of death for this disaster of a winter. I couldn’t care less about a car topper or brief coating to half inch type event which is all we can seem to pull off. Insane how we’ll likely add more southern cities with significantly more snow than NYC by this time next week or so. I know it’s been colder than the last few winters but with little snow it just makes it more miserable. At least with 40s-50s you can go outside.

And the cold/dry would be even worse this time with direct Arctic air coming down and the lakes finally freezing up. Still hopeful one of these waves can produce a moderate event but fully aware this can be yet another fail and trend back to suppressed crap.

Congrats Savannah!

Obviously once the lakes are frozen over they won’t be modifying any of the air heading our way anymore. The cold coming next week should be quite severe since the flow of air finally looks to be Arctic origin and over frozen/snowy ground.

Because 1980 was awful for snow here. Everything was suppressed.

Say it ain’t so. That never happens, never ever ever. Maybe we can get Charleston to double our snow total this time while we get our consolation dusting gone in an hour!

Turning into a nice event for SNE of course. Any which way our area can be screwed over is happening in spades this winter.

Hopefully it’s a normal Nina torch February. I’m totally serious. If cold means more of this suppressed garbage and windy freezing dry, I’m happy with it gone. Put it out of its misery and CA needs the rain.

Good. Put us and this winter out of its misery.

The cutter will come right on time though.

Dusting here, maybe 0.1-0.2”. Pretty much gone other than shaded areas.

And to think your avatar is what it could've been. Sad fall from stardom.
