    Central Park will end up with a February average of 40 degrees. It is the only major recording station in the entire area that will end up with a 40 or higher. Also the only station with a seasonal snowfall, so far, below 10 inches.

    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.

    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.
