I seldom cut the lawn before late April or early May, even in the warmest springs.  If I did like I'm told and threw down early season fertilizer, i suppose I might have to cut it earlier.  Most years I intend to fertilize twice but only get to it once.  Somehow the lawn stays green.  Less is more.

i haven't cut the lawn since 1998.....

Who is reaching 60 ? What 

My official forecasted high tomorrow is 55. I was  5 degrees above my forecast high today so saying we’ll be between 55-60 tomrrow isn’t a big stretch. And the point remains the same.  After a 55/57/60 degree day on Saturday, you’re not going to see accumulation with .10 QPF the next day in March.

24° with freezing fog. Day 74 with snow cover, 42 consecutive days and counting. 

Looking at the long range it looks like 100 days of snow cover will not happen this year, but this weekend should get me that .1 inch to get me over 60 inches for the season.

Would like to get over 70 inches for the first time since 2017/18 from the long range it looks like that may be in jeopardy, for now at least. Late March and early April have produced plenty of late season snows here so I'll wait and see.

Will need a nighttime March storm like we had in 92

Yup or a frigid airmass like April 2018 (6 inches CPK).

I just feel that it would really put this winter into epic category for NYC.

IMBY at approx. 52 which is the most since 56 inches in 17/18. Would rate as an A- IMBY if this was the last of the snowfall.

February Precipitation stats at my location:

Melted: 1.96".  

Y.T.D. Melted: 4.72".

February snowfall: 15".

Snowfall Season to date: 49.8".

AVERAGE snow depth this morning with 90-95% coverage: 3.5".  South facing lawns and slopes bare ground to 1.5".  Shaded / north facing locations: 4-5".

Was driving around southern Union and Morris Counties yesterday (Chatham, Summit and New Providence) and snow melt pretty dramatic there.  They had 15-20" in spots and there is quite a bit of bare ground.  Eyeballing looked like 3-4" in areas with most remaining depth.  By this coming Monday, 1 week after the storm 15-20" of snow will have been wiped out.

Yup it was a good winter but after yesterday and today’s beautiful weather, I’m ready for the warm up! Already have grass showing in south facing areas on the lawn so should only be a couple more days now - so much better than what we dealt with from the January sleet storm

If we have seen the last snowfall for NYC this season, the average snowfall for this decade so far would be 20.43

The average for the 30 year period of 1970 through 1999 was 21.91

NYC is behind by 1.47 inches.

The 1970s avg was 21.25. NYC is behind by 0.82

The # of above average snowfall winters from 1970 through 1999 was 4 (including 78/79 which was 29.4).

NYC has already received 2 above average snowfall winters in 6 seasons this decade, well ahead of the pace.

We have seen 3 <50% snowfall winters this decade. The 1970 through 1999 total was 11, NYC is ahead of that pace.

Will continue to monitor.

On  February 28 with all signs pointing to more arctic air making its way down here after the warmup because of the polar vortex split and the MJO in 7 - 8 or 1 with an active pattern I think March ends up with above normal snowfall and so does April - wouldn't be surprised if there is another major east coast storm

What’s the target date/dates for the arctic cold and east coast snowstorm pattern to start up again?

I know everyone likes to use 1970 to 1999. Actually, the thirty year averages are calculated 1971 to 2000. That 30 year average of 22.2 is by far the lowest of any 30 year period. That was about as normal as 1991 to 2020 average of 29.8. 
 

The 156 year average since Central Park has been keeping totals is 28.5 inches. I still have no idea who decided the 30 year averages is what we would use. I always thought a 50 year would be a much better measure and allow for crazy decades like the 70s 80s and 2010's.
 

The running 30 year average 1996-2025 right now is 28. 3 inches which includes the horrible four previous seasons prior to this one.
