Trying to get clicks. At most it's a sloppy 2-3" 

if it trends north it's not, it'll be way below freezing with the dynamics

[WestBabylonWeather]

I grade this winter a B

 

If that Montauk mauler last week was 50 miles west it would be borderline A

this is by far the most talked about winter so i would grade it a -A only because we should have 50-60 inches so far

You're the ultimate weenie. It could show snow in August an you'd say it's got a chance

18z Graf is 12 plus for NYC north. 

Good enough for me. I never heard of it until today, but It's never been wrong since I've followed it.

we are in drought conditions-that's a face-some places moderate drought.

south jersey seems better off, but north is hurting.

what the heck....a few days ago people were in here talking about how winter is over, or snow is done, its too dry, and i even read a piece in nj.com that we are near drought conditions....well we shall see...

and you said you emptied the gas out of your snow blowers - that might have sealed the deal !

weren't the models just showing some rain over Monmouth and Ocean County  a few runs ago ? Thats interesting to say the least I think its snow now because of dynamic cooling with heavier precip

I'm not sure how old you are but we've had some really good winters the last 35 years. This winter doesn't compete with those yet. Let's see where it stands at the end of March.

i can almost assure you if he were 13 he would not be here...you know what he'd be looking at.

Are people still trying to make this storm happen?

believe we had a couple march events back to back in 2019? melted right away, also feb 2018 iirc...

The March 2019 snowfalls were during a cold spell...mostly 30s

[NorthShoreWx]

In the unlikely event that this pans out we should seriously consider making a habit out of locking storm potential threads.

True dat, but at least we did have a winter.  Relatively short, as it looks like it we will be in a warming trend to close out February?

it snowed over a weekend iirc.....my son was supposed to have surgery that almost got canceled. that melted and then it snowed again on sunday i think....both around 5-6 inches...

[doncat]

Calling this winter "relatively short" ...don't know about that, Dec and Jan both with -3.5° temp departures and double normal snowfall for many of us. Feb with a -9° departure so far. Of course we've been so dry this month however.

[WeatherGeek2025]

Because of the Bermuda High pressure, this could realistically partially phase and have snow break out between 6-9 hours depicted on the map

Really good winter. Cold and snow pack longevity, at least one big storm. Below normal temps Dec-Feb but needs one more good storm (6"+) to move this winter from a B to an A. Snowfall currently near average 

Feb has 2 weeks left so we'll see if it can deliver something otherwise it'll be a solid B winter. March weather is always extra to me.
