  1. Weather forecast/discussion for Mt. Washington, with absolutely insane wind chills expected - quite a read! https://www.mountwashington.org/experience-the-weather/mount-washington-weather.aspx
  2. Cold Spring? Eh, unless it's snowing who needs that? A warmer than average Spring is at least enjoyable and not overbearing. As a NYC resident, things collapse winter-wise shortly after mid March (with some scattered exceptions) so I'm done with Winter by then!
  3. I'm at 0.0 (technically a trace but that doesn't count)
  4. all snow and coming down at a decent clip in the UWS though too warm to stick
  5. Assuming most are snow weenies, why is MA optimistic?!
  6. Honestly to me, if the snow drought is broken with 0.2 inches which gets immediately washed away, I'd rather it not snow and keep up the drought for effect.
  7. Yea Newburgh itself isn't great but the towns just south are nice (New Windsor or Cornwall).
  8. It's just so boring, I mean there has literally been nothing to track at all (within a week or so anyway). I cannot remember any winter with nothing trackable by mid January (whether or not anything worked out).
  9. With a wind chill of -57 too, crazy
  10. Yea agree. I'm not as much of an expert as many of you (including you Ant) but one thing I do recognize is something anomalous with these model runs. Quite rare to have a mean like this (wow at the QPF) 8 days out, hopefully this continues.
  11. We are close to Mr. Blutarsky levels for snow in the NYC region but I'll take it, lol
  12. Yeah those winters really stunk! Some of those were my college years in the DC area and it was even worse there than it was here. I think there were maybe 2 "ok" events (3-5 inches max) in my 4 years there but not completely sure.
  13. It's more about your reputation and the way you framed your post: It looks like the La Niña is strengthening….again. Would it kill you to actually say there is at least a shot next week?! Anyway, someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this is the first real trackable period in November since 2018 with that storm that overperformed and where NYC was unprepared for snow removal.
  14. I was at that debacle last night. I was constantly monitoring the radar and while it was certainly a tricky call earlier in the evening, it was clear that by 830 the rain would last for at least another hour. It should have been called then.
  15. Rain was very heavy overnight here in the UWS, woke me up a few timed starting at 330
  16. My comment was really about the entire metro but regardless, a short vs. long term drought in a specific part of our metro is not extreme.
  17. Exactly. The number of drought comments in the past few weeks/months would lend someone to believe that it's been one of the worst of all time! Yes it's been quite noticeable in some areas (certainly on the surface) but the reservoirs never really dropped to anything considered to be a "low" level (I think 90% of normal was a number I saw a month ago?). It's certainly not even remotely close to the West. Not saying we didn't need some rain but the raininess of the past few days through to Wednesday was not THAT badly needed!
  18. Yea agree, dreary, cool and wet since Saturday and lasting till Wednesday. Awful!
  19. Too abrupt of a transition if you ask me. Rather we ease our way into the chilier weather. And yes "ilovewinter" (tho maybe I just love tracking winter storms?!) but we aren't there yet.
  20. Yea sort of agree here. I'm a summer or winter weather lover, not a fan of the dreary and chilly weather we can get in between!
  21. Interesting. Reminds me of many occasions where the track of a winter storm/N'or Easter predicted 5 days out ends up being the closest to being accurate (until it's only 24 hours out).
  22. Was at the Yankee game last night, the rain was torrential and lasted for quite a long time, pretty crazy night!
  23. True that a western track is better but considering that this will stall out around the Tampa latitude just makes it a slightly "less bad" outcome for them as a result of storm surge
