February 2026 OBS & Discussion
CPcantmeasuresnow replied to Stormlover74's topic in New York City Metro
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. -

Who knew. I never noticed it in all these years. Do we have to address you as Sir IrishRob17 now? -

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. -

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
CPcantmeasuresnow replied to WeatherGeek2025's topic in New York City Metro
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. -
It's a loaded question. I will answer it in detail when I have more time later tonight.

It's probably the only time in my long weather memory that New York City, specifically Central Park, had a high measurement, some might call it accurate which in itself is a minor miracle, compared to most of the surrounding area. The reason for it, Paul Kocin was on top of them that entire storm for the measurements because he thought it might break the single storm record total, which it eventually did. Of course to later be topped by the 2016 blizzard.

Credit to you for admitting your blown forecasts, some on here just run away when they don't work out. Personally, I believe any forecasts one month out or more are just a guessing game. Maybe you can reduce the odds a little with research and analysis but not enough to make them worthwhile in my opinion. -

And you have nailed it this whole season since October. You're one, two and three month predictions have been phenomenal. We don't even feel worthy of them anymore. Maybe take them to the New England Forum for awhile so they can benefit too. I'm sure the gang there would love your constant warm bias, I mean insight. -

May 9 2020 we had on and off snow showers most of the day. Even NYC picked up a trace. I received almost an inch during one of the squalls with the green grass and cherry tree blossoms almost getting covered. 34° and heavy snow during the afternoon of May 9. I'd only seen that one other time up around here and that was the 1977 May 9 snow event. That was much worse than the 2020, or better depending on perspective. Personally I loved it. -

That sounds like Monmouth county. The flowers should be blooming next week. -
Is we back? February discussion thread

If this were an AI model I'd swear they're just messing with the inferior beings already. -
Light snow the past 30 minutes. I had to get out of the main forum. To many coastal dwellers declaring winter over for the entire forum in February. The same sh!t we hear every year.

You live in central New Jersey yet always speak as if your area pretty much covers all the bases for a forum that's pretty diverse climate wise.
