I would disagree with that. A 15.2 inch storm would tie for 20th place on NYC's list of greatest snow storms. To me an HECS, with the emphasis on the H for historic, would have to be a top 5 storm which in NYC's case would be 21.0 or more inches to break the top 5. But hey to each his own.

Done. 14 days and counting here as well.

Excellent point and driven in most part by the last 5 seasons where March has seen 51.2 inches of snow in Central Park, and December a paltry 11.9 inches.

With the 0.7 inches of snow in Central Park yesterday, NYC only needs 15.2 inches of snow between now and Dec 31 2020 for the new 30 year averages calculated in January 2021 to be 30 inches per season. One MECS away, or several nickel and dime events, like for example this December in the city.

February 9, 2017 There was 9.4 inches in the city most of which fell in a six hour period.

Only got down to 10.9° which did not even beat the 8.8° on December 8. Received 0.4 inches of snow from the squalls yesterday bringing the seasonal and monthly total to 14.8 Between the snow and ice on the ground can I technically call today a day with snow cover. The NWS defines that as a day with 1 inch or more on the ground.I have an inch of a combination of ice and snow but barely. Do I nee toI go to the replay booth?

I do get your point but in effect this morning becomes the 4th lowest December minimum of the 2010's. Your wording made it sound like it was the second lowest although I get what you meant.

Not really true. The January 23, 2016 was the big miss for the interior, since then the 1-2 foot storms have been favoring the inland locations. February 9, 2017 14.1 inches Monroe in Orange County NY, NYC 9.4, call that one a draw for climo differences. March 14, 2017 20.8 inches in Orange County Monroe, NYC 7.6 March 7, 2018 24.2 inches Orange county, Central Park 3.2 inches December 1-3 2019 12.0 inches vs. 1.6 in the Park.

I still carry the scars from that storm. The only time in my life I ever received a foot of snow and was pissed off for days. 30 miles north of me received 0 as you stated and 40-50 mile south in parts of NNJ and NYC 30 inches.

Hartford at 20 inches for the season per their 6PM report today, Bridgeport at 5.5 Albany the big winner so far this season at 29

Very true. Yet somehow 4 of the last 5 years in NYC March has been the snowiest month of the season.

29.8° and nothing I'm interested in falling. I knew something was wrong when my weather app jumped from a 3-5 to a 5-8 inch snow prediction about 6pm last night, when all short term models were starting to show the complete opposite.

29.8 light snow.

Quiet here. 29.7° which is up from 29.3° a half hour ago.

I know, I was just being a bit sarcastic.

Man I never thought of that. Gonna be off for awhile while I wrap my indoor pipes just in case.

Also the prediction in the city was for an inch, so they never got the plows or sand and salt trucks prepared. That's why they're over reacting this year every time the word snow is even mentioned. They're now acting like this is Atlanta and not a city that averages 30 inches of snow a season. Typical government over reaction to criticism they took, with the dumb as a rock mayor heading up the pack. This is no knock at either party, neither of which I'm found of, but Deblasio is exceptional in his stupidity IMO. Stupidity is the one thing he excels at.

He's become somewhat of a loose cannon the last several years. I never know whether he's serious anymore, or just taking a stab at it trying to be the one that "called it"

In NYC I would agree. I'm in the HV 50 miles NNW of midtown and I always consider winter to be the last week of November until April fools day.

I said almost the same thing verbatim on the NW burbs thread about ten minutes ago. I hate that sound.

It must be the 10:1 ratio map vs actual. Although I find it hard to believe that in this setup ratios would be higher than 10:1. Maybe on the initial thump they will be though. I never get my hopes up for these setups, the changeover to frozen seems to happen earlier too often, later in the event less often, or not at all not enough for my liking. It will be interesting to see what the afternoon runs say.

Who are you kidding, you're far from over it. It's only just begun.

Yep you beat me to it. The consecutive days with snow OTG streak ends at 13 today. I'm hoping we start a new streak on Tuesday. I'd like to believe the Euro's 6-8 inches for Monday night but a very iffy setup and lots of mid level warming, so I'm doubting it for now.

I'm guessing the consecutive days of snow cover will end at 13 tomorrow. It would be nice to have it begin again on Tuesday but maybe with less ice than the some of the models are showing.
