Can we get rid of this guy on here? This is supposed to be an intelligent weather forum. I have snowpiles on my lawn and I need to read this moron telling us on 12/21 that we are done with snow for the winter? Why are we tolerating posts like this?

Are we really talking about a 4 inch snowstorm in NYC metro off a warm front with marginal cold to start? Hey, I hope it works!

To play devils advocate, LGA has the same low measurement. They both seem low, but support each other

Remember the year with lots of snow on the ground until the 23 and gone by xmas? That was the ultimate kick in the balls. Lots of ice on the roads 31F

look at the bright side, we are a cool spot!

Do you need model guidance for that? Look at any common weather app on your phone…it has been there for days. December is done

It was brief and intense. Less than 5 mins.

I saw that dark blob out there and went to the radar…what a day for early May!

of course there’s nostalgia and Rose colored glasses. Was there a guarantee of a cutter with 55 to 60 every Christmas week? absolutely not Was there snow on the ground many more days because the temperature was colder whatever we got and I’m talking in the five boroughs…hell yes When we went from snow to rain or had a rain on top of snow, was it often in the mid 40s and did we finish with snow cover afterwards? Yes Drastically different climate, particularly for some odd reason in the last two weeks of December. I say it every year: if you are a betting man, bet 50 over 30 on xmas day

this isn’t like the old days where you went up to 44 with rain. 60F nothing sticking around. We cut nowadays it turns into April

absolutely pouring out. I think the next storm we are really dealing with is a cutter on the 26th. that’s like a week out anything beyond that is fantasyland sadly

check out that squall line over the finger lakes down to Scanton!

it would need to be a drastic drastic change

Out of the next 14 days, a handful of days look at or below normal. The rest are AN. That means any storm is going to have to manufacture cold air…something we havent done well around here in a while. Its exciting to talk about threats and such, but I think you should keep that in mind.

Dude, the western ski resorts are dying for snow. They are off to their worst start in years. They have highway signs that say “pray for snow” Are you even aware what is going on out there?
