February 2026 OBS & Discussion
CPcantmeasuresnow replied to Stormlover74's topic in New York City Metro
I'm aware of all of that. I've lived in the region my entire life with the exception of the four years I spent at the university of Wisconsin. What I wasn't aware of is how mild and delightful you perceive March is in Albany. If that's how you see it, as blind as that is, that's all that matters. -

Albany is colder, by several degrees, and snowier than Boston. I don't think most people around Boston, or Albany for that matter, would call March spring. I've lived in the HV for many years at elevation 600 feet, which is about mean elevation for most of the HV and I barely call April Spring. Everyone sees things differently I guess. -

I agree with some of what you say, but you obviously never lived in Albany LOL. -

The pretty common theme here is people along the coast and in central New Jersey and the city are often pretty quick to call and end to winter in late February. For those of us 30 miles or more north and west of New York City latitude and longitude, most of March is just thought of as another winter month. -

There was so much blowing it's hard to say for 100% but I did take it in a couple of secluded areas that I had cleared and it was definitely over 3/4 of an inch. I've been thinking of revising it to 0.8 just because I haven't seen any other reports over an inch. -

@The 4 SeasonsI assume you meant the Feb 6-7. I had 1.1 inches and I think I was pretty much the high area for Orange County from other reports I've seen. -

For the season? No possible way that could be correct. -

The way some people classify March is almost comical. In many parts of the forum average temperatures in early March are still below freezing. To call it a spring month, even though I know it's part of Met Spring, is misleading unless you're referencing late March in the southern portions of the forum. Of course it can snow in April in any part of the forum. -
Finally had a night where we radiated well. Morning low -7° my low for the season. Still didn't beat my last year low of eight below.

Winter cancelled/uncancelled banter 25/26
CPcantmeasuresnow replied to Rjay's topic in New York City Metro
Neither is far from their seasonal norms atm. Boston averages about 47 inches a year, Seattle averages about 7. I'm glad the game didn't turnout like the snowfall averages. -
Still my biggest storm of all time. I ended up with 35 inches. 35 miles east of me in Danbury it rained much of the storm and I think they ended up with around a foot. NYC with 21 inches.
-
Despite the cold and constant snow pack this winter I still haven't gone below -2.7 . I'm hoping to top that tomorrow morning. Time will tell.
-
Had to shovel the driveway this morning. The inch that fell blew into the walls of snow along the driveway and whatever blew around yesterday just accumulated there. currently 5.4°
-
Tomorrow morning should be our morning but I've made that prediction before and conditions didn't always work out. Let's see if winds get calm and the skies stay clear tonight. Bottom out this morning at -2.0°.

0° even. Tomorrow morning should be the coldest morning for the Urban areas and the shore areas. Tomorrow night with the winds dying down and if the skies remain clear should be the coldest morning for the suburban and rural areas to the north and west. -

Whole forum or just city and southern sections? -

I don't think it will get anywhere close to the top three. You have to remember those 3-4 degrees below normal you see for the past two months are measured against averages from 1991-2020 which are the highest averages, by far, since records have been kept. -
I measured 1.1 inches in a tough environment to get accuracy. 12° with blowing snow. A beautiful winter day. 44.1 inches on the season.

But there have been 46 individual instances of longer periods. That would be a much better way to put it into historical context. -

And that's the way it usually goes. It would be against the norm for both sides of the country to be snowy and cold in the same winter. -

We had a storm with 11-18 inches of snow area wide, followed by cold that preserved most of the snow cover in place for the two weeks since. How is that a waste of the cold? -

It's much deeper than Lake Erie and rarely freezes over. Lake Ontario has a maximum depth of 800 feet Lake Erie barely over 200 feet. Lake Ontario is actually deeper than Lake Huron.
