Finally snowing albeit lightly, but it stuck to the wet ground right away which was surprising.


.

Rainy spring would be awesome 

We’ve seen enough rain the past year, no thanks.


.

Total failure regarding the forecast for today. I’ve had nothing but rain. The temperature has remained steady, I still hope for a period of snow, but it’s not looking likely.


.

34° and rain. Kids went to school for 2 hours.


.

Are we ever going to have a cold and snowy winter again ? This is getting ridiculous. 

As long as the government keeps spraying the atmosphere with chemtrails it won’t.


.

i have been saying for a while february is one of the jersey shore’s best months

You would think summer would draw more Jersey Shore viewers than in February? I thought MTV took that show off years ago. Apparently we have a “situation”.


.

8° this morning. Goodbye cold weather, a week wasn’t long enough.


.

What a difference a week makes 

These temp maps are deceptive. They make it look like the world is on fire. Such nonsense.


.

What else would I expect now that the cold air is gone.




.

Whoever said earlier that at least in the 80s you could count on at least a few 4-6” events each year, I agree. In grade school we seemed to get precisely one snow day a year from them.  Seemed like the very clippers that for the last two decades mean white rain around here were our go-to for a few 4-6 inchers a year back the .  Everyone who was around back then remembers ‘Alberta Clipper’ right?  That’s what almost all of them seemed to be.
 

I was born in 74. Definitely remember Alberta Clippers in the 80s, I also remember cold and dry then when snow was forecast it was usually snow to rain. I spent many nights looking out my window in the Bronx watching all my beautiful snow get washed away. Always remember driving to my grandmothers house in Ulster County and they would have mountains of snow while NYC had nothing. I’m already dreading next weeks warm up and feeling gypped from these 2 measly storms. Yes I got 12 inches of snow last week but it was gone in 3 days.


.

Got down to 8 degrees this morning.  Was in the hot tub last night, perfect weather for it.

Cold air in place and cant get a good storm.  What a sin.

I think we could of predicted this would be the outcome. What BS.

Radar NOT filling in as FUTURE CAST was showing as well as what the METS were saying. 

Yes, I know future radar is completely unreliable. 

It looks like a bust for the models and forecasters. 
What looked like a few inches for many areas with high ratios turned into nothing because of the dry air and the late Miller B formation. 

Lotta confusion on here this morning. Your saying bust and others says coastal will get cranking and the anemic radar will fill in. Which is it?


.

Any word on Friday storm?


.

You can’t take the nam seriously until 12 hours before the storm 

You can’t take the nam seriously until 12 hours AFTER the storm

We just got a foot in Dutchess county last weekend. I'll take the 2-4 or whatever it is. 

Sorry, I am greedy. At the very least I would have liked out snowpack to have remained for several days and add more to it. We have been waiting for colder weather all season and now its here and we get suppression or strung out storms. SMH.

What a disappointment.  The Midwest gets slammed twice and we cutters and now next to nothing.

As soon as Mike Woods said models are looking south so just a slight chance of snow I warmed up the snow blower.

Lol that guy is still on TV? What a joke, he was on vacation more than at work when I used to watch television.


.

Perhaps the cold air won’t modify as much now that a good portion of the country has snow pack due to the past 2 storms.


.

A 1006mb low well off shore doesn’t scream big snowstorm to me especially given where we were yesterday at 12z

You must be one of the most negative posters on here. Always bringing up worst case for it not to snow, always looking forward to “torches”. It’s tiring.


.

And for the non teachers who have to leave early and their kids have a 2 hour delay, what do they do?

Hi... I like it.  NRCS?  

 

In any case... my only concern is that mixed temps over the snowpack may not pass 50 or if they do, not be 50+ for more than 6 hours over snow depth 8+... I kind of see that in the plan view guidance before and after midnight. sort of looks to me like where there is 8+ snow cover, we only lose 75% and the remaining 2" hold a lot of water... You're the hydrologist.  My concerns are similar though I dont have any expertise on river rises outside of having produced warnings.

I value what you've said. fwiw... I'm going to have to use NERFC/PHI forecast stages. Temps/qpf will ultimately dictate.

Whatever doesn't go Wed morning, might complete the melting cycle Fri night, but even there mostly chilly temps except for maybe 6 hours?

And the remaining snow pack is gone by Saturdays cutter.......

Finished with 11 inches. Best time I had in the snow in over 3 years.

What a great day, been snowing moderately all morning, picked up a few more inches, still coming down lightly  now.  Pulled out the quad and was ripping through the property and street.  Just a wonderful day, all my kids outside and not on the computer/phone/xbox.
