February 2026 OBS & Discussion
CPcantmeasuresnow replied to Stormlover74's topic in New York City Metro
Never. Too many variables yet for Sunday could end up being rain for most places. I would give it until Wednesday and see how many models agree. -

So we're going with, even a broken clock is correct twice a day thinking? -
Presidents' day Snow potential
CPcantmeasuresnow replied to WeatherGeek2025's topic in New York City Metro
0.2 inches an even 44.0 now for the season. Need another 4-5 inches to get to seasonal norm. Maybe by Saturday or Monday? -
Anyone get anything last night? I measured 0.2 inches. Brings me to an even 44 for the season. One inch exactly since the 16+ storm end of January. Things look to liven up soon hopefully.

Presidents' day Snow potential
CPcantmeasuresnow replied to WeatherGeek2025's topic in New York City Metro
For people like myself that like a long duration winter with a solid snow pack, but also realize that I do have a breaking point, Oneonta New York would be my sweet spot. They average about 85 inches of snow per season. January and February average temperatures are about 20 to 22°. They get fringe squalls off the lake that drop an inch or two sometimes three at various times to freshen things up. They are close enough to Albany that they can still can cash in on some Noreasters and almost always cash in on any SWFE and clippers. Having been through several winters that fell within that range of 70 to 100", usually by the end of March in those winters I'm ready for spring. -

There was about a 12 hour period from 9pm last night to 9 am this morning where it looked like several models were pickup up on a partial phase and solid trend north. And then as often happens reality set in with the 12z's and it's been downhill since. -

Don't want to see any trends south now, not even slightly. Hopefully the trend north isn't over yet. -

Now it's starting to get interesting. The north trend is catching on with the big guys. -

I didn't actually see it, but I read on the New England forum it backed off South some on the last two runs. I never heard of it till today, so I'd like to see something else on tonight's 0z runs to support it. -
That's 64 days in a row by my count. I didnt start tracking snow coverage days until 2016/17. I had 85 days total that year which is still my highest in the last ten. I'm at 61 days for this season so we've got a shot, but we need another storm or two.

Is we back? February discussion thread

That's a nice jump. Starting to feel like a trend has begun. -

I'm not sure how old you are but we've had some really good winters the last 35 years. This winter doesn't compete with those yet. Let's see where it stands at the end of March. -

Good enough for me. I never heard of it until today, but It's never been wrong since I've followed it. -
I've only been keeping snow coverage records for 10 years but this isn't the top season yet, with 60 days and counting, in the last ten. 2016/17 was 85 days, and 2017/18 was 70 days, helped along of course by an epic March and beginning of April. If we can have another solid four weeks it should beat both.

Really just eight hours. The game started at 6 PM and the snow came in like a wall into the city between 2 and 3 AM. -

You're talking about the year the Superbowl was in the Meadowlands? Starting game time temp was 48° and 8 hours later, while some were still returning home in the early am, the snow began and the city ended up with over 8 inches. If the snow started 6-8 hours earlier it would have been the most memorable Super bowl for weather of all time. -

I do admire your perseverance, always have, misguided though it may be at times. -

Many of us won't hit 50, and for those that do it will most likely be one day for a couple of hours. -

In fairness the conversation began with a discussion of the number of days of snow cover so far this winter. I never thought deer would become the main topic, but this is how conversation goes sometimes. -

CPcantmeasuresnow replied to Stormlover74's topic in New York City Metro
The deer are disgusting, people that don't see them up close might not understand that. They sleep under the large pines in the back because the snowpack is not as deep and they leave a mess. I'll leave it at that. -
Morning low of 11°. Day 60 with snow cover beating winter of 2020/2021 which was the last winter with above average snowfall, 59 inches that winter imby. Still at 43.8 inches for this winter, 5 inches or so below seasonal norm for the entire winter.

New York City, central park specifically, now at 34 days this winter with snow cover. I'm pretty sure that's their highest winter total since 2020/2021, although I'm doing it from memory and don't remember the exact number from that winter. I know there was a 24 day stretch after the 17.4 inch snowstorm of February 1-2 2021. @donsutherland1@bluewaveDon or Bluewave might check me on that when they get a chance. -

Morning low of 11°. Day 60 This winter with snow cover. It's been a good winter for ice and snow cover but this three week stretch with virtually no snowfall during the peak snowfall period is getting a little boring. However still having almost a solid foot of snow on the ground makes it much more bearable. -
Presidents' day Snow potential

Let's just change the name of the thread to Presidents' Day. At least we know that will actually happen. Closing the thread entirely isn't a terrible option either.
