Always impressive seeing the Great South Bay almost totally frozen over. The Long Beach Super Bowl splash has been postponed to March. I don’t remember that ever happening before. We did it in 2011 when there was still a lot of snow around from the 1/27 storm. 

[Snowlover11]

Low of 8F

[SnoSki14]

Looks a lot more active next week and noticing confluence playing a role and keeping storms from cutting. 

So maybe a lot of redevelopers and SWFEs.

Yeah, this has been the first time since 17-18 and 10-11 that Islip averaged under 35.0° for both December and January.

Ugh, sobering progression 

[EastonSN+]

If the season ended today, this decades CPK average snowfall would be 16.78

This is ahead of the first 6 years of the 70s at 15.85.

This decade is also ahead with 1 above average snowfall season (0 for the first 6 years of the 70s).

The 30 year 70 through 99 average was 21.91. Still behind that by 5.12.

[uofmiami]

9 & 6 this morning for my stations. 

[SACRUS]

 

21 / 11 off a low of 8. cloudy the dusting fizzled to maybe some stray flurries and saturday is looking to follow the same drier evolution.   Cold drops in Saturday, perhaps as cold or the coldest of the season yet 2/7 - 2/9.  Moderation between 2/10 - 2/16 with some rain  / mix pending on the 2/11-2/13 storm system.  Beyond there cold may out do moderation/ warmth overall into the final 1/3 of the month.

At least we were able to avoid the immediate near to over 50°warm up following our 5”+ events in recent years for the best snowfall retention since 2021.
