Its not worth tracking central park accumulations anymore. It no longer holds any relevance to historical data. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krs4Lfe Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago 6 minutes ago, ILoveWinter said: Yea I was concerned on the way into the City last night as my car temp showed 42. Likely a few degrees too warm but was a red flag that we would lose some precip to rain/melting snow. Absolutely, I figured we would lose some QPF to white rain in the beginning for the first hour or so. Now it’s sticking quite well but the damage is done. Since 2023, almost all of our snow events have been with marginal temps so it’s natural that the recording sites would get less than surrounding areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we will let some have their wet dreams to it and argue to a wall Agreed. I have finally made a decision to stop tracking the record and using central park as a historical benchmark. Now I have to find a replacement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major issue from a historical perspective. It's not useless. Thanks to this Central Park observation we now know that winter is over. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted 8 hours ago Author Share Posted 8 hours ago 4 minutes ago, Krs4Lfe said: Definitely over 4 here in Bayside. Will definitely crack 5 when all is said and done. Similar to the event last January 19th, almost every place had 3-5 inches but Central Park barely had 2. That will be the case this time around as well. Was just too warm yesterday temps were in mid to upper 30s until snow fell. That being said, urban heat island is making it impossible to get accurate measurements at the recording sites except JFK. LaGuardia and Central Park are consistently almost half of what every other place has. Didn’t seem to be that way up until 2020 or 2021. As winter continues to warm rapidly, I expect that problem will become exacerbated Yep, chance it makes it to warning amount here. Coming down hard and more banding developing. Back edge doesn't look like it's hauling either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless its a uniform type storm with temps well below freezing you're going to have large variations within the 5 boros.

psv88 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago A lot of snow out there and still coming down nicely in western Suffolk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago There wasn't a lick of wind overnight. No air advection of any kind in the boundary so the temperature basically pegged at 32 almost everywhere it was snowing, or maybe 31 inland (it's cooling north of the LIS now). I haven't measured yet, but we have 4 or 5" in open areas and bare ground under the evergreens. There will be a lot of snow blowing out of them when the wind picks up. Has anyone noticed that the temperature sensor at ISP has been running consistently a couple of degrees warmer than everywhere around them? Might be time for the NWS to do a calibration.
