1.5" OTG Snow/sleet mix
-
Most roads covered except avenues and highways. Even those have some snow. Dumping
-
Heavy snow and breezy
-
Solid coating down Moderate snow
-
Mostly snow now!
-
Just drove down the Sagtikos, middle of island is mostly snow. Once I got to the south shore it was mostly sleet
-
No leafout but silver maples are budding and daffodils are sprouting
-
The difference is probably resulting from using different climate averages. Tropical tidbits looks to be using CFSR 1981-2010, Weatherbell is using ECMWF ERA-5 1991-2020. Weathermodels.com appears to be using some 20-year average. The differences could also be resulting from whether it's a instantaneous snapshot of temperature anomalies, or the average of the anomalies over the past 6 to 12 hours

High of 69 and dropping now with increasing clouds and a sea breeze, so I've never got into the 70's but glad to see ISP's record fall. HRRR, RGEM, HRDPS did great with temps today
-
ISP at 69 Officially breaks the all-time warmest February temp on record. Original record was 68 set last year
-
Most sites on Long Island are 60+ already except Montauk. Already exceeding the lower-end model forecasts for today. RGEM, HRDPS, HRRR had the right idea. HRRR has 71 later for ISP. Would be the all-time record. We'll see, we have clouds and the sea breeze which could easily prevent that
-
HRRR has 70's tomorrow before some late afternoon rain moves in

If NYC doesn't get 8 more freezes by the end of the month, this winter (Dec-Feb) will have the fewest number of minimum temperatures below 32 degrees on record.

60 and sunny Awesome day
-
It wasn't the radiational cooling this time, it was cold air advection. The core of the cold was to our north & east, so places north & east saw colder temps than those further west.
-
3.6 for the low here The maps from the Euro a few days ago showing well below 0 here didn't verify, but we ended up colder than models like the GFS/CMC. A blend of these models had the best forecast. I recently pointed out how the Euro was too cold, particularly over the ocean. Case in point, this morning 6z Euro initialized with -15 for Provincetown on Cape Cod. However, the coldest it got there was around -4. It's interesting that this model has some sort issue when extremely cold air masses move over water. It doesn't make sense for it to be -15 in Provincetown, but only -10 in Boston.
-
Euro is still way too cold. Pretty amazing that 24 hours out it'll have a forecast for -17 in Provincetown, on Cape Cod, surrounded by water. In fact, the Euro has the entire Gulf of Maine below 0 all the way to the 40/70. It's not going to get that cold over 40+ degree ocean.
-
We need the 31st to stay above freezing the entire day which may be tough. Otherwise it would be a tie
-
Pretty cool sky for a winter day. Sunshine and dark ominous clouds to the north
-
26 coldest temp so far this January. Absolutely unreal. Reminds me a bit of December 2015, even though that was warmer compared to normal.
-
Finally getting some snow here
-
Still no freezes yet in NYC this January. This could make a run for top 3. Click column heading to sort ascending, click again to sort descending.

This has been trending west for some time now

NYC will definitely make a run for the fewest amount of minimum temperatures below 32 in January. Might not see a freeze until the end of the month. Insane to think about, what is usually the coldest month of the year that we can't even get a single freeze
