We haven’t had a legit nor’easter in a long time. People should just relax and see what happens. It’s possible we get through January with very little snow. Or we could score a few small events, which is where I stand. I think nyc gets around 12” of snow from 3 events combined
That’s not what people mean by cold and dry pattern. Cold and dry refers to the storm track being suppressed south of the area. This happens all the time…
I don’t follow this logic. Wouldn’t lower pwats make it more difficult to get alot of snow? There have been many examples of cold and dry patterns. Sure, you may get a snow event when the pattern warms, but that’s when pwats are rising.
My yard is snow covered. Parts of LI are horrible for snow. Others like northern Nassau and northwest Suffolk average more than the city and central NJ
Reasons for optimism for sure. Still not a classic pattern for a KU. Maybe some smaller to moderate events which we take. But I’m not seeing anything which is favorable for a MECS.
Hopefully we can get a few weeks of real winter in January. I am not expecting any big storms for the metro/coast, but I think some smaller events are on the table.
It’s 36 and sunny in the park. 39 at JFK and 38 at Newark. my guess is that there will be less than 1/2” on the ground by tomorrow at 7 am.
but to me it’s a white Christmas anyway. Many people celebrate today and the snow has been around all week.
We have about exactly an inch of snow left on the ground here. So we really need a refresher to have a white Christmas. If tomorrow morning doesn’t pan out I don’t think we make it
