looks like it's 2 days later too

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.

What’s the deal with nearly no snow on anyone’s roof? Over 2’ and it seems to have disappeared fast

Wind took care of a a lot and the sun is doing its thing helping! Something to be grateful for, don’t want that on roofs, especially if more snow falls. Luckily we’re at that time of year where it typically doesn’t last too long - best of both worlds.

just an observation I just left Westchester to come down to work in Queens. And I made a stop in Whitestone to shovel my parents. 

 

It is not even close in terms of snow. I don’t know where many of these measurements were made down in the city. I’m assuming on large grassy areas. Because the snow lying around on the streets of Queens is a fraction, a small fraction of what we have 10 miles north of the Bronx.

I saw Whitestone reported 23 inches of snow. I’ve been in Whitestone with a 2 foot storm, and this isnt it.

just for reference in the photo below, that’s what people in Westchester are dealing with right now. i’m sure I on Long Island the scenes are similar.

Higher sun angle , direction roof faces and slope -temps above freezing yesterday and close enough to freezing today  to promote melting- poor insulation just below the roof - solar panels etc. etc.
