Since 2000 the average DJF winter temperature is lower at Kennedy than at LaGuardia and Central Park. Considering Kennedy is right on the Atlantic Ocean and the other 2 are not, I believe it shows how much the heat island affect has taken hold.

If I am not mistaken only Central Park is below 10 inches. All other city locations are above.

3.75 inches here, maybe 4 with some compacting.

About 9 or 10 here this week. About 11 or 12 for the season.

3.5 inches of snow here.

Got down to 19 degrees here last night.

Already dipping below freezing here.

About 6 inches of snow here, seems to be a general 4-8 across Long Island.

About 4.5 inches here.

Snow plows are out in Central Park. Apparently near 3 inches there.

Looking at NYS thruway cams, from around Kingston north very little if any snow. Meanwhile not far away to the southeast and southwest numerous inches.

Actually had a plow go down my street, been a while.

These maps are showing 10-1 ratio, probably would be more like 7-1. So I would adjust accordingly.

I think a good call, at this point, for Long Island is a general 3-6 inches.

Looks like a potentially good storm track early next week and once again no real cold air to go with it. Meanwhile 26 degrees here this morning.

How's this for a forecast--- (high elevations of the Sierra Nevada north of Tahoe) Snow showers likely, mainly after 2am. The snow could be heavy at times. Patchy fog after 3am. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a steady temperature around 22. South wind 6 to 11 mph becoming east 13 to 18 mph in the evening. Winds could gust as high as 21 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%.

From what I read, the average sea ice extent this year is ahead of the 2010s average. Not saying it will stay that way but at least it is a little positive news.

Well at least Arctic Sea Ice extent is doing better this year. (relatively speaking)

Yea it is heading east. If it holds it may eventually head northeast and hit eastern New England but will probably just go harmlessly out to sea.

Looks like some heavier precip. in the D.C. area. If that holds together and moves up here, some may get a little more snow than expected. Maybe it is just me with wishful thinking

Yes maybe it already is playing out here. The past 5 years at Central Park are 21, 5, 39, 18 and 2.

It was just a joke to kind of show that it isn't as bad as it seems. For example in the past decade D.C. has had about 120 inches of snow. I agree it is getting milder and if it continues we will see less snow. It doesn't mean we won't ever have bad winters again.

Maybe it will go south, D.C. area has had close to 10 inches this year.
