Next weeks threat is pretty thread the needle.  Really need to eject the shortwave at the right time, otherwise you'll get suppression or a track too far north.

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.

 

 

Please stop. Besides compaction, it was above freezing for a bunch of hours yesterday and there was strong sun today.  There has been a lot of melting.

People seem to be questioning the totals. It's weird

Anything to downplay it.    Do people forget it was with temps b/w 30-32 the entire storm and it's late February?

Big March Snowtorm ? Crappy spring.

 

 

I can honestly see a curveball warmup next weekend before the hammer comes back down before a late-season winter storm and painful crawl toward sustained spring wx.
