Jealous. It was sort of an "interesting" experience last night here in NYC due to the rarity but it actually sucks. Smells awful and not pleasant breathing it all in. Looking forward to when this clears up later in the week!
-
Yea one of those "over the top" scenarios we've been seeing a lot of over the past several years. Montreal has been warmer since this past weekend.
-
Yea I didn't notice it much
-
Absolute garbage, bring on the heat!
-
Thanks for this! I've felt like there have been a bit too many posts about how dry it is and drought like conditions (before this weekend) and how badly we've needed the rain. To me, any dry spells we've had in the past 10+ years have been fairly short lived with reservoir levels never really falling too drastically. I remember much drier conditions in the 80s and 90s.
-
Such a garbage pattern setting up (likely wont see the sun again until Monday afternoon!) - but they do tend to happen around this time of year so can't say its too surprising.
-
Another weekend ruined, boo. This should put a temporary stop to the frequent "we desperately need the rain" comments, lol
-
Philly high temps (Th, Fri Sat): 77, 85, 77 NYC (Manhattan) high temps: 64, 72, 69 We are on the wrong side if you ask me but i know many of you here prefer it that way!
-
Awful, often sets up just north of Philly
-
True but on average the congestion in the Bronx is better. Also depends if you are heading up from the west side of Manhattan as you only then need to clear Riverdale which often is less congested than the rest of the Bronx.
-
There are plenty of highways on LI, espec in western sections. I think part of the problem is the high population density in Nassau and that to get in and out of LI you HAVE to go thru an even denser Queens. For Westchester, once you are out of Manhattan the density falls off dramatically which, combined with numerous highway/parkway options makes it a quicker ride.
-
I don't thing people necessarily trust the NAM (outside of 24h) but we had basically gone all winter without one of those classic "we've been NAMd" runs so it illicited a reaction from us that we haven't had in a year or so!
-
I think up to 4" is a good call for the city at the moment but if the 12z runs hold then it may be time to up them.
-
Snowman is knowledgeable (more than most including myself) but almost always harps on the least snowy solution. It's served him well in this garbage of a winter but I recall several instances over the years where he was proven wrong.
-
Wow I'd be thrilled even if those numbers in NYC were halved
-
Moderate snow in the UWS, not sticking (as usual)
-
Ensembles will be interesting as the Op may continue to be an anomaly.
-
Yea it's rare but it can happen. I'll never forget that Feb '10 storm (I think?) where NYC was being dumped on and Boston was raining in the 50s. That track was so insane that the rain/snow line was north/south oriented so even places north but just east of NYC saw mixing or even rain (I was living in Armonk which is northeast of NYC and I remember that for a time it was mixing while NYC was snowing).
-
Lack of a high/cold air source is an issue but I would have thought a storm of that strength at the benchmark would generate enough of its own cold air to keep it mostly snow at the coast...?
-
Norlons are so hard to forecast though, even only a few days out so the range of possibilities are still fairly wide
-
Really no point in getting overtly excited or disappointed in Op runs a week out, ensembles are the way to go and even for them a week out is a long while. At least we know the potential is there pattern wise.
-
Of course we can, just ask Snowman and he will clearly lay out all the possible ways we lose in the next few weeks, lol.
-
yea was hovering around 34 yesterday evening and 33 overnight in Manhattan. Not gonna do it in order to sufficiently accumulate or to stay all snow (not actually sure if it changed over to sleet or rain tho).
-
Yep, was about to respond mentioning this. My kid was quite upset when she found out about this last year lol.
-
Glad you may reconsider visiting as it's an absolute gem (especially the less crowded northern end) and you won't be disappointed.
