I suppose it's all relative. Much colder today than this past freak of a weekend but still running about 10 degrees above normal today.

July 1 through to the following June 30 is the universal 12 month period for seasonal snow totals for all reporting stations. Obviously most locations do not revive any snow during the majority of those months.

Even in the Midwest the big snows have pretty much bypassed all of the big cities. The seasonal totals since July 1 so far including yesterdays snow at the largest Midwest cities. Cleveland..........9.5 Indianapolis....10.4 Omaha..............5.6 St. Louis............9.1 Detroit.............14.3 Des Moines.....12.6 Chicago...........12.9 Kansas city........9.3 I'm sitting at 16.1 inches right now in what so far has been a pretty dull winter, and I'm ahead of all of them. Also contrary to popular belief several of these cities are surprisingly above their seasonal norms despite the very modest totals. Unless you live in the northern plains or along the great lakes the Midwest is not the snow haven many believe it to be.

Yep, that's two days in a row in January that Boston hit or went above 70. I would think that has to be a first.

Heartbreaking. I hate waking up to scenes like that. I still have nightmares of the January 96 thaw (60° and rain) that erased three feet of snow from my property in a matter of days. Thankfully that year it was all refreshed within days.

Chicago received 2.1 inches of snow yesterday, hardly crushed.

Hang gliding?

In December that was true, but so far January is about a +9, not even factoring in today. Personally I'd just like temperatures to get back close to seasonal. It's plenty cold enough this time of year, especially in the HV where I reside, for snow if we could just get back to seasonal norms for a nice stretch.

Never in my lifetime, and not something I hoped I'd ever see. Kind of scary when you think about what could follow in years to come.

I think you mean we've had colder days in June. The average high temperature doesn't even reach 70 in NYC until May 11.

To a degree what you say is true, but this stretch from December 22nd to January 16th or so will still not approach what December 2015 was. You had a whole month that averaged 13-14 degrees above normal area wide, and broke the record average for the month by 7 degrees. As bad as this stretch has been it still will not be that, despite today and tomorrows record setting warmth.

Certainly not for better, sickening is fitting.

It's only the freaking 8th, months end is over three weeks away. I'm hoping things get better way before months end. I'm hoping by the 18th or so. Call me a wild eyed optimist.

Snow squall winding down, officially 0.5 inches. Not bad for a 25 minute event. I've now nickel and dimed my way to 16.1 inches this season, 12 of those from the December 2nd-3rd storm

30.6° with moderate snow, bordering on heavy. Grass and driveway already white, would like to squeeze an inch out of this if possible.

Actually it's the 1990's that will keep the next 30 year average near or just below 30 inches. Since January 2001 the seasonal average in NYC is 33.2 inches. The period from January 1991 when they begin the next 30 year period calculation through December 2000 the ten year average was only 25.4 inches, despite the record breaking 95/96 season.

It's par for the course but yesterdays totals of 0.9 inches at Newark, 0.7 inches at LGA and smack in the middle 0.2 inches at Central Park leads me to believe the Conservancy dropped the ball at the Park. It certainly wouldn't be the first time, and won't be the last. The Conservancy has been better than the zookeeper but far from perfect, especially on the minor events. 15.0 inches to go by December 31, 2020 to get the 30 year average in the Park to 30 inches. What looked like a lock two years ago is starting to look iffy.

Not quite. I'm about 12 miles south of 84 in Orange County and have 15.6 inches on the season. Granted 12 of it from the December 1-3 storm so this is gradually descending into a C- winter here from what was an A, Dec 1 through the 15th.

0.8 inches 30.4 degrees, 15.6 now for the season Just the fact that I feel compelled to report this non event shows how dismal the current pattern is.

0.8 inches overnight, bringing the seasonal total to 15.6 At least I won't live to see the first snow less January in recorded history.

I've lost all respect for you.

I am hoping in my lifetime no month ever comes anywhere close to comparing to December 2015. I still have nightmares about that month. I never bothered to check, and I'm sure someone here can, but that had to be the greatest deviation above average for a month since they've been keeping records in NYC. I believe it ended up 13-14 degrees above normal at NYC stations.

Definitely. And then if the whole thing from 4/5 to COD back to 4/5 happens again in February then we're cooking in February, probably 70's with low 80's near and in the UHI. Forget about March, even though it's been the snowiest month in 4 of the last 5 seasons, if this scenario keeps repeating March is done and never delivers anyway, except of course in 4 of those last 5 years. April is now a summer month, except of course two years ago when 6 inches fell in the city. The least amount of snow in a single season is 2.8 inches in NYC (1972-73) and right now they're at 2.5 inches. There's a good chance right now they may break that record for least amount of snow in a season.

Topped out at 45 here. I’ll go with a solid D.
