3 top 10 lowest snowfall seasons during the 2020s so far. Their new average for the 2020s so far is only 26.1 which is similar to what NYC averaged during earlier decades. So about 50% of what they averaged during the 2010s. Boston had 100” in only 39 days back in 2015. That 39 day total is higher than their total snowfall since January 2021 to March 2024.

There is little doubt that we are getting milder. However, I don't believe we are not going to see good winters still, some seem to be implying that. The above records really show we were due for a snow drought of sorts.

41 degrees with rain, 31mph wind gust.

1.35 here so far.

1.10 here so far.

Last month at this time 8% of the country had snow cover, as of yesterday 48% of the country had snow cover.

Albany lucked out with 5-6" at the end but ouch that 20 miles or so north never mixed and got 18".

Nice snowstorm for Upstate NY and Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Some areas receiving over 2 feet. NYC hit the freezing mark again last night. My low was 29.

3.20 inches here.

2.70 inches here and still raining. The snow line is drifting south and east. Wind has switched to west here. Now snowing in the Albany area and the Catskills.

Looks like a lot of ice in the Albany area. Lots of snow to the north and Northeast

.90 here, temperature 49.7

26 here last night. Looks like northern New England ski areas pick up a nice 1-2 feet of snow this weekend.

Gusted to 49mph in Syosset.

My peak gust is only 36mph but I have trees that interfere with a WNW wind. It sounds more like gusts in the 40s.

That was the only winter that I experienced which could be compared to the little ice age before the global temperatures took off like a rocket after 1980. Walking to the school bus stop was quite an experience. It was the last time NYC had a top 10 coldest winter averaging in the 20s. 

I was living in Connecticut at the time. You could look out at Long Island Sound and see nothing but ice.

Storm total here 2.12 inches and winds to 40mph.

Just had a gust to 40mph here.

It looks like the last 10 years have been fairly constant. Could be a blip, time will tell
