Nah. The heat island in the 5 Boros has pretty much remained the same since the 1960s. It’s not like there were vasts tracts of open farmland in queens that were developed since 2000…the square mileage of concrete development has probably been nearly identical for the last 50 years.

Yea the heat island has been a factor for years, I just wonder with all the new construction and many new skyscrapers, it may be more pronounced than ever. The fact that Kennedy has colder winters than Central Park and Laguardia may be telling. I don't believe that was the case in the past.

February 24

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.

With little or no additional snowfall likely in New York City through the remainder of February, the probability that Central Park will see its first case of two consecutive winters with less than 10.0" seasonal snowfall has increased. Below are the numbers for select snowfall amounts through February. The highlighted row indicates where Winter 2023-2024 will very likely stand when February concludes.

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

February 17

3.75 inches here, maybe 4 with some compacting.

February 17

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

February 17

3.5 inches of snow here.

February 15

Got down to 19 degrees here last night.

February 13

Already dipping below freezing here.

February 13

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

February 13

About 4.5 inches here.

February 13

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

February 13

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.

February 13

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

February 12

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

February 12

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

February 8

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.

February 4

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.

February 1

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

? Most of any future precip will likely retrograde back from the north?

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.
