Let’s hope!

 

although I fear Long Island will be stuck in the 50’s and spring will feature a ton of bdcf’s

 

'bdcf' looks like a swear word, which is fitting.

Also, I'd argue that on a lot of those bdcf days, the spine of LI - 495 if you will -  is often more similar to unaffected central NJ than it is to the south shore of LI.  I remember many times stepping out of work in Mineola/Garden City, to blue skies and 70s, only to head south on the Meadowbrook or Wantagh and see odd darkness/haziness on the horizon. By the time I got to Sunrise Hwy I'd be in misty and damp low 50s.

Huge differences in the shaded vs sun zones here. Shaded spots still have several inches while sun spots it's mostly grass. 

No grass here at all. Definitely a lot more snow than there was in syosset area today. The only grass here is right along the edges of the driveways. Otherwise it’s a solid 4-6” in sunny areas, 7-8” in shaded areas.

Son of a bdcf!

Add BAMWX to the growing chorus of people skeptical of some big return to winter come mid-month. DT (Wxrisk), Contentweatherguy and Larry Cosgrove in his new blog yesterday morning are also doubting it

15 right now; I didn’t think we’d drop this low.

With an AO+ likely to prevail through at least mid-March, there seems to be no mechanism that could drive the cold from Canada into the New York City area. Some fleeting cool shots are possible, but a sustained very cold regime appears unlikely. 

That means prospects for a 50.0" or above snow season at Central Park will decrease markedly. The percentage of cases with sufficient snowfall (6.6") to raise the seasonal total to 50.0" or above are below:

On or after 3/15: 10.8%
On or after 3/20: 6.3%
On or after 3/25: 2.5%

No meaningful snowfall is likely through at least March 15th.
