It's got to be one of the fastest meltdowns ever. Snow piles are mostly what is left.

And it wasn't even that warm. Plus no rain either.  Just the power of the sun

Don, I may have missed it, but will you please be posting an update to your winter index (the exact term is eluding me) post?  Am curious to see where our area lands currently with last week's storm baked in.

It’s not final, as snow season isn’t finished. I will post it shortly.

Tomorrow will be blustery and cold. After an early morning low in the upper teens or lower 20s, New York City will see the temperature out near freezing. Clouds will increase tomorrow night and cloud cover could impede viewing of the lunar eclipse near sunrise Tuesday. Periods of mixed precipitation giving way to periods of rain is likely later Tuesday and Tuesday night. The temperature will reach the upper 30s and lower 40s.  

A sustained warming trend will commence on Wednesday. The second week of March could feature springlike readings. Long Island and coastal sections could be noticeably cooler than interior sections on a number of days on account of a chilly onshore flow.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +1.2°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.1°C for the week centered around February 11. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.37°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.32°C. Neutral ENSO conditions have now developed. Neutral ENSO conditions will continue through at least mid-spring.

The SOI was +17.10 today. 

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.211 today.

Surprised 02-03 isn't in the top 20. It definitely is for the New Brunswick area.
