February 2026 OBS & Discussion

I'd say we can toss Thursday now just about though in winters like this I would caution don't dump it totally.  Because this is the type of winter it'll find a way to make a comeback and we get a couple of inches.

Even yesterdays 36 degrees mushafied some areas.  

We'll see if the 3/3 storm adds to this

 

melting was robust yesterday for sure

That March 2-3 event is starting to look pretty good for y'all. Hopefully NYC will get to 50" with this storm--unlikely but not impossible.

If anything this all helps put a dent into the years long deficit we’ve been running. 

But if it’s going to snow, let’s pile it up! 

[MJO812]

Cmc and ukie has it but its flatter.

 

Gefs on board

Lets get another biggy monday/tuesday!

[North and West]

yeah, I don’t know what flooding rain they’re talking about.
 
Gradual melting with snow chances over next week

That’s good. I was just saying it in a general sense. Gradual melt would be the best thing to occur.

Euro has the storm but is way more amped than all the other models.

Gfs is more of a Monday afternoon into early Tuesday. Still a week out I’m sure in a couple days if it’s real we’ll see the timeframe… the way this years been wouldn’t be surprised to see it end up back on a Sunday Monday. Seems like most of our snow has been lol

GFS makes the most sense - the Euro's don't .....

That was an awful and scary winter. +15 Dec. First freeze January. Highest snowfall ever in one storm mid Jan…all gone within a week. And a few days here and there of 0 degree weather followed by more extreme warmth.

 

I call 2015-2016 the post apocalyptic winter. Actually unnerving

I believe that December ended up warmer than the average November in NYC and within a degree or two of the average April. Yeah it was ridiculous.

Euro misses us just to the south with a light snow on Monday, but then gives us a few inches Tuesday before changing over to a mix and rain. Hopefully GFS is correct with the big snowstorm idea for Monday, but obviously a long way to go before the models figure out what's gonna happen. I do think it's likely we'll see at least some snow early next week. Hopefully we'll break our March snow drought. I'd like to see one more snowstorm, but I am looking forward to some much warmer temps as we head into mid March.

All the other models are flatter than euro.
