A "hell" of a lot easier for Canada to be put back in the freezer in Jan vs. mid Feb? Come on man, I know you are a warm weenie but that's pushing it. Also it's not like there was a ton of snowpack before the January cool down and it still happened - and quite fast mind you.
-
That's pretty crazy that you posted this at the exact same time of mine!
-
Just out of curiosity, when was the last time we had a sunny day or even saw the sun?! Feels like we've been in the gloom for a long while.
-
Regarding the lack of interest on this storm, do we not remember the countless posts over the past few days that basically said it's impossible for us to get a meaningful snow storm in this pattern?! Sort of put a damper on things. It's still unlikely that this one works out for coastal sections but crazier things have happened in hostile patterns. We are in favorable climo for this sort of thing to occur.

Well snowman pretty much always weenies you!
-
Would be remarkable to pull off something meaningful in coastal areas in this hostile pattern so my view is to expect nothing. Literally anything would be a bonus!
-
Yes agree that on the very first one it was due to the UHI effect. But the last two was a combo of UHI and track which is why even areas 30 miles north and west didn't cash in.
-
True the concrete jungle of nyc does impact snowfall and is a factor into why it is in the hole but notice that it extends 30 miles or so north and west, areas that have a lot of vegetation/forests. So unfortunately, the tracks of the past two storms were just not favorable for areas in this area/hole. Bad luck.

Steady light snow in the UWS
-
Looks like barely anything of the 2 inches that fell has melted, even here in the City. Honestly I'd take this over 5 inches which is gone by the next day - a "wintry" appearance / feeling is what many of us enjoy.
-
Yes even in the UWS, still a very wintry scene. Edit: Especially now with light snow falling
-
True but I think a component of our average is due to above average winters where we get a KU (or two in some cases). Without those, we get these nickel and dime events such as this past Sunday / Monday's event.
-
lol was just about to comment on that, though maybe they have not yet updated after this morning?
-
It was sort of a bust for many in the sense that most of the models kept on bumping totals up even up to game time. Not an epic bust or anything.
-
Rare storm where all of the big cities from DC to Boston are in line for similar totals
-
Isn't it dropping into the lower 20s and may not break freezing in the city tomorrow?
-
This much pessimism after a bad run by one model at 18z 4 days out from the event? Way too early for that! (or being overly optimistic for that matter)
-
Yea tracking all the different model runs ahead of a potential snow storm is 50% of why I enjoy them lol. Though living in NYC, it usually ends in disappointment!
-
4-8 in the immediate NYC metro would be amazing considering the garbage we've experience in the past few years but yes in the wider context I agree.
-
I'm no expert but I wouldn't say the models are not credible now, only that both the passage of time and tonights storm will of course make things clearer.
