its coming in 2 weeks

Always 2 weeks away. Same as last winter.


.

Storm total of 1.5” here between yesterday morning and last night. NWS discussion kept saying how the precipitation shield would fill back in after the secondary low formed and moved N/E but it certainly didn’t look that way. Sitting at 30 degrees right now.


.

Yea it is heading east. If it holds it may eventually head northeast and hit eastern New England but will probably just go harmlessly out to sea.

Everything is ragged and falling apart. I wouldn’t count on it.


.

Nothing to talk about here, light rain for most of the day and with more intense bursts we get sleet. Maybe by 8pm things will change. Future radar is clueless as it has big breaks in precipitation and then boom everything magically fills in. What a sadistic hobby we have.


.

Heavy snow gone and……..back to rain. I’m sure with the dry slot and lighter precip my accumulation will be gone in a couple of hours.

And that’s why in my earlier post I was surprised to see snow. False hope.
.

Pouring snow here. Roads and grass covered. Of course now that’s is snowing the dry slot is coming to screw it all up.


.

I figured the forecast would bust, especially when I looked outside and saw heavy rain at 36° and my elevation is only 740’. NWS discussion also didn’t sound too optimistic either.


.

Flipped to snow here. Big fat flakes, ground whitening. Very surprised at this. I figure I wouldn’t have see snow until about 4 pm


.

Crazy Radar Signatures. I think the Weather Channel Radar is way off from the observations I have seen.


.

People do get tired of hearing "North and West" on the news all the time lol.
 

North and West or North of 287 was the phraseology used during the 80’s and a good part of the 90’s. Obviously it was to the delight of snow lovers who lived in those areas and the death blow to those closer to the coast. Now I’m up above 84 and even at times that isn’t north enough for some snows.


.

While my AccuWeather app is calling for 3-6” at the moment for me I don’t expect more than 1 or 2”. Hopefully I’m wrong.


.

You know you are again chasing ghosts right? This has New England written all over it, not south Brooklyn 

For Christ sake cant you people leave us alone? It’s like people aren’t happy to see others with some kind of hope so they have to come in and wrap us with a wet blanket. Apparently everyone needs to be negative, no one should have hope and the world is on fire. This forum is so toxic.

Sorry I’m fresh out of surgery and the meds are kicking in.

I'm going to name this storm the CooL storm if it happens. 

Just watched DT’s breakdown for this weekend and the next few weeks. He is not impressed by this weekends storm, too warm. Perhaps a pattern change by mid February to colder weather but it’s basically December all over again for now.


.

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.
