Why does everyone want to end winter while still in February? Approaching mid March I might understand it especially for all of you NYC and south.. 

chances of a snowstorm decrease dramatically after feb..

we are due to hit pay dirt with this storm end winter with a bang..

lovely day today mid 40's this is what many of us needed..

Incredible to see California being one of the only states without any drought.

weird considering it has been very dry in california the last month..

the only reason i would want rain is to wash away a lot of this horrible salt on the sidewalks and streets..

already in nyc  road salt and melting snow have caused blackouts for some customers in brooklyn a few times last 10 days..

i am surprised at the lack of or very few broken water mains during this cold stretch.

NYC had no trouble dropping to 3° since the winds stayed up throughout this Arctic outbreak.

wind also shifted out of the north for a few hours as well our cold weather direction..

without the cold air advection we would not be as cold as we are now..so the gusty winds is what made it this cold today..

It's wicked out there. This is as much of a Frozen Tundra look as we'll ever see around here, some of the roads by me are white and not with snow.

road salt is so thick i rather not cross the road..

temp went up from 11 to 12 in nyc.

was out this morning for a walk wind was so strong i was pushed back and fell to the ground in this cold arctic mass i did not think i would make it...

dt says next couple of weeks going to be bad if you want snow in the east

you can get backdoor fronts well into june..

still plenty of snow on the sidewalks ground and in the streets here in nyc sanitation workers are piling them up in one huge pile so they can bring out the snow melting machines.

temp overperformed this morning in the city temps were predicted to go down in the upper teens..

you cant trust models this far out they change day to day..

 a few flurries here in manhattan.. of all the cold mornings we had of late this will be the worst one due to the wind..

amazing how the anti snow folks come back and post once any immediate snow threat is gone.

Clipper city 

remember that clipper storm more then a decade ago that dove all the way to south carolina then rapidly intensified to a blizzard and produced close to 40 inches on eastern long island nyc only got about 10 inches we need that kind of clipper..

since it appears it wont be that close nothing to be upset about time to move on to the next storm..

looking forward to the possible storm after this one..

ever since the 2010 after christmas blizzard i learned nothing is set in stone this far out as that storm was modeled to be a miss for nyc..
