I dont think that the AMO phase has been the cause of the big snowfall seasons.  I think we are just getting bigger precip storms because of our climate changing and warmer air holding more moisture.  It's not like our winters are getting colder, they're actually getting warmer, but in borderline events we are getting more snow because storms carry more moisture.  You see that in the other seasons with more 3"+ rain events than we did before too.  And places which are on the other side, like Washington DC, are actually seeing less snow now than they did in the 80s.  So it's not about the AMO at all, it's about our changing climate.  And once we warm up enough, guess what will happen- our snowfall averages will be where DC is now.  It will happen before 2100 and maybe by 2050.

 

DC has it bad..in terms of snowfall they might as well be Atlanta now. Meanwhile we have increasing snow avgs. The spread in avg snowfall is massive now over an area not *that* far apart.

Prevailing storm tracks seem to consistantly suck for that area. Snow always to the north or south. Norfolk ends up doing better than DC.

Excellent point!   The way the winters have been around here that’s pretty much all we haven’t seen yet.   

I was always so jealous of those who lived “north and west” of NYC, we on LI would get rain while they cashed in.  Now lots of snow is normal.  Unreal 

Yeah I grew up so envious of those living "north & west." 3" events in the city was enough to make me happy back then. That what I grew up under so like most things, ppl use there formative years as the baseline for the rest of their life. All these big snow events on a regular basis in the 2000s has been a dream come true, but I never got confortable with it. I feel it can end any time lol. 

Temps continue to rise, up to 59 now

New rooftop mesonet site for the Bronx. It's 189 feet up so the temps will be different than the surface.

I was waiting for the Bronx one. It'll be interesting to compare to. I'm on the other side of the NYBG, just under 2 miles SE of Lehman.
