2 inches of new snow here. that is on the existing snow and car tops, pavement far less.

Starting to snow lightly here, wind picking up out of the east.

35 here very light ENE wind.

Looks like the Hudson is almost completely full of ice even down to the city.

3 degrees here last night.

7 here, wind chill -10. 12 hours now with wind gusts above 30mph. peak at my house 39.

Steady light snow now, starting to stick

Flurries here

I think what makes this a good winter is the prolonged cold, frozen Hudson and ice even in salt water areas like the bays. Also the amount of time with snow on the ground. It also started early.

I would give this winter at least a B even an A. Snowfall has been above average so far and it has not gone away. Temperatures below normal and a prolonged very cold stretch. It also started early.

21 here and cloudy

The NWS at Upton uses dense rank sorting and doesn’t skip ranks following ties. I think this makes more sense since we are ranking the temperature and not the year. It’s more misleading in my opinion to skip ranks since it makes the rank more subjective when there are multiple ties.

 

 

 

To me in the charts above for example, the 39.7 in 1990 is the 9th coldest temperature but the 13th coldest year.

If we get an inch or two of snow Friday night into Saturday, then the brutal cold and wind, could be like a near blizzard at times with blowing snow.

This has been some stretch of cold and snow pack. It will feel nice when those first mild temperatures arrive.

The snow pack and no wind creates some big variations in temperature. The city 21 degrees and some suburbs near zero. Even in my own yard I have two readings one between the house and garage which is 12 degrees and one in the middle of the back yard which reads 9 degrees.

For those who like winter, this has been a good one

Few flurries here also

4 here last night

down to 11.3 here

If Central Park doesn't go above freezing on Tuesday, they will more than likely beat the old record of 16 days in a row below freezing.

If the wind dies down tonight could be some well below zero temperatures in the coldest locations.

8 here.

Wasn't this time last week that all that snow we see on the ground was probably going to go to our south.

Ice breakers will be heading up the Hudson.
