Awful early for a professional Met to make such a definitive proclamation.

good points

I hope we have a nice spring

No, I have not had my fill--whatever that means. Look, I love snowstorms as much as, if not more than any other. What I don't like is the disruption they cause, the potential for damage, general disarray they cause during the week. Let us get huge blizzards on Friday nights, and have it all melted away by Sunday night. The winters that we have had in the last 20 years are overall remarkable--but they are not average or sustainable. Look at the long term averages---we have exceeded--no blown past-the normal snowfalls an inordinate amount in the last 20 years. We don't live in Maine, we live near the ocean(not all, most)and that has an influence on our precipitation The 70's and 80's were plenty cold, we seemed to get cold rain most of the time And as someone who says he loves to fish, I would think you would want warmer weather where you can get outside and enjoy your hobby more Finally, people are allowed to openly root for snow, but a divergent opinion is not allowed?

I hope on this that you are wrong----as for a warm, relatively snowless winter, bring it on

A few flurries on Long Island. Melville to be exact.

100% correct. People seem to forget where we live

Thank you!

Would it be possible for you to post the yearly totals by month from 1970 to 1996?

Bring on another winter like ‘11/12 then

Get out and enjoy the weather! Take advantage of this while you can. You never know how long this weather will last

Agree. Today was spectacular.

Looks like 45 for the low in Melville

More amazing data. What would you attribute the increases to?

That’s pretty remarkable. Thanks for the info

Didn’t seem lighthearted.

Beautiful day

Kind of a broad statement to make? It has it problems like everywhere else but that’s not fair to say

Please no

Can’t upload. Also said possible tornado

Straight line winds over 100 mph reported in farmingville

Thank you. I appreciate it

we're seeing a lot of health problems from the rise in infections due to bacteria in the water.  Liberty, can you elaborate on this? Are you a physician? What types of health problems are you referring to? Pulmonary? Auto-immune issues?

Thankfully lightning seems to go around me. I’m not complaining. Thunder was decent

Same, a little less wind though
