Once its over? That's not good, right?

40” wouldn’t be way below average there. Isn’t your average about 45”? 

No. 50-55

I'm  just hoping I can get 9" here. That seems like a stretch to me. Season total so far is 31", so that would put me at 40". Still way below average  but it is what it is.

There won’t be hours of rain. It’ll be brief before the column cools down and snow makes it to the ground. That’s what’s happening in MD and PA now. 

Cool. Hope your right. City area needs a good snow. Even here, we've just been nickel and diming it all winter.

I'd be cautious setting your hopes up high for those big snow totals in the city and coast. Hope it happens, but ,even here, its supposed to start as rain. That is not a good sign for the city and coast. I'm not a met, and don't do forecasts,  but, a few hrs of rain or mix will cut down on those numbers being progged. I may be wrong?

That would be nice... pretty much same for my locale too. Also looks like it’s going to come in earlier probably around mid afternoon.

Even if I make it to 40", still a long way to go to reach average. But you never know? It is still March.

Well if this storm tomorrow can put down 9.1" here, that will put me at 40" for the season. Current forecasts are 5-9, 6-10". We shall see?

Light flurry activity has stopped.  28.4°

Starting to get get some very light snow, just flurries at this point. Tiny flakes. 28.6°

Union county

That's understandable,  and normal. There is a big difference from Union Co. to Sussex Co.. Especially when you get by me with the elevation.

More than double what I have

Where are you Stormlover?

29.5/24 Expecting around 4" tonight.

3" will get me to 30" for this pathetic year.

Wow

Nam is cold and snowy for the area tonight into tomorrow

I've seen and heard maybe 3-5" in my neck of the woods.

Mod. Snow falling. 20°

Freezing rain with sleet mixed in. 26.6°

Precip has turned back to snow. 25•

Cloudy 20.7/10

Yup. If your 45 yrs old or older, this winter is not an anomaly caused by climate change. We had these winters in the 70's and 80's when the global warming crowd said we were heading into an ice age .

Theres a climate change forum, thanks guys. 

Ok. Thanks BX. Didn't know that. 

Asking a serious question. I read on here that climate change is the reason we've had bigger snow storms in the last 10-20 yrs, then its melted in a week or so, because of climate change. And it's going to get worse in the next few decades. Supposedly it's gotten so warm over the last 100 yrs? Maybe it has? But 100 yrs is a blip in the time frame of Earth's age. So. The last 100 or even 200 yrs of temperature or snowfall does not represent any global climate change caused by man. 100 , 200 or 300 yrs is is 1 second on the geological scale. Hence my question. What was the winter weather in the NYC area 800 yrs ago?

Buehler? Buehler?

Still wondering where the snow/ice line was in 100-200 Bc? Also where it was between 950-1200 AD?

I agreed with you for last nights bust but if the pecip gets in quicker its a great setup.  This is no way a bad setup the snow just needs to arrive sooner.

Hopefully your wrong.  But I think your setting yourself up for disappointment,  like we've all had this year.

Well that's another feature of the changing climate that will be growing more severe in coming decades. Bigger storms but less snowpack. The record Feb 2006 and Jan 2016 storms were both gone in under a week...

Has that never happened before?
