but it never felt like a classic El Niño The autumn leading up to it wasn’t that warm. Even December wasn’t that warm until we got to that last week and a half. I mean, I say that with a grain of salt because everything is warm now. Then, when we got to January, any of the El Niño bag of tricks, kind of sputtered out. You could see where the big storms were supposed to be. The pattern was there, but in each of the cases, the cold air just wasn’t in place or available, and it ended up being a 2-3 inch type of thing.

Very predictable. Not even a chance

Good snowfall for March !

it comes in hot because it’s low lying, swampy, industrialized land that is covered in cement and machinery, as far as I could see. It was shit hole land that nobody wanted. That’s why an airport was made there 70 years ago. if you had a kid, and they tried to set up a hot wheels, micro machine, matchbox, Thomas the train set up on a fixed size table, and every piece of that playset was put out: tanks, highways, bridges, tunnels, Seaport, airport, train lines, buildings, factories, stores, radio towers and an old church or two, that is what EWR looks like on short final approach. That’s why it’s always hotter than everywhere else. There’s not a blade of grass or a tree or an open space or a hill for miles in any direction.

actually, I think it’s very representative. If you want to haggle over an inch or two in Central Park, that’s fine. that little 30 mile swath just north of 195 is what’s not representative of the metro area this winter. The metro area is literally melting from record warmth, record number of lack of freezing temperatures, and record low snowfall. I can’t remember the last time I drove down to Queens to shovel my parents sidewalk. what was an annual occurrence or multi times throughout the year, it hasn’t happened in years. Maybe that pre-Christmas storm a few years back. I live north of the city, and I have palm annuals still going. Simply amazing. i’ve never seen anything like it and per our record book nobody else has either. Central New Jersey between 195 and 78 for a few hours in one storm aside, we are in big, big trouble here.

I was just barbecuing for lunch. with the wind and the cloud cover and the temperature, I swear if you closed my eyes and spun me in a circle it felt like a shitty memorial day.
-
You could plant begonias. How is CPK doing with number of days below freezing? Has to be lowest ever. I wonder if it even happens again. Earliest last freeze possible? Just Epic how many records broken this winter!

Briefly dry slotted and happy in Westchester
-
NE flow where water helps cool things. We are seattle, they are spokane
-
it would’ve been a snow rain event with a good dump upfront. Long story short it’s just too warm to snow around here now and it’s been like that all winter. There’s no March snowstorm coming to save the day. You need absolutely perfect conditions at this point to get snow around here and that really only happens in the heart of winter
-
Today was your March snowstorm. 10 degrees too warm for it.
-
I flew the redeye in this morning from west coast. You had to see the storms we had to pick around in St Louis! The line between St. Louis and Chicago had tops to 45,000 feet at 4 o’clock in the morning at the beginning of March! It was crazy

Save the ski season!
-
This. Models changed from sustained +10-15 to a day of that followed by March cool followed by more warmth. Seesaw. May save ski season a bit. Nice day, but waaaaaay to early for this and the motorcycle exhaust shit. That is April weekend stuff. next weekend looks cool thank God. hopefully the noisy motorcycles will stay in.

Move. Humans need air.

i’m always wearing shorts, but I’m wearing shorts today comfortably. 58F already. And the sun! the sun is out!!!
-
actually, I’m a skier. There’s a bunch of skiers on here and you may not want snow, but the lack of cold air up in the mountains is going to cut short a season that is very expensive. Locally ski season goes until April 1. For those of us that buy season passes we bank on skiing several times in March. More importantly, in an economically depressed state like New York, people in the Hudson Valley Catskills Adirindacks, depend on people skiing for four or five months of the year for their livelihood. there are a few other jobs up there outside of tourism

I love my SUV. 6 cylinder hybrid that gets awful gas mileage even with the $10000 hybrid sticker on the back. I wouldn’t give it up for a decimal point data change 50 years from now. And there are a lot of people just like me. actually, most people are like me. That’s the problem Enjoy November in January. nothing is going to change.

Man are you on the wrong forum? This group hates cold and snow! haha Welcome
-
51.1 is warmest March for CPK. Gotta make a run for that unless something changes for second half
-
Squall Line just went thru. Reading a book in shorts on couch listening to the downpour I had to remind myself it is 2/28
-
not nearly as warm today as forecasted. Continues the trend of the winter of the warmest departures being over the Midwest. Low 50s all day
-
No way. Maybe a sleeper team. But dont have high expectations
-
It is amazing that Im reading about wild fire smoke and tornados in Illinois in February! And you guys are looking for snow in NYC in march. Like the Jets building a case for the Lombardi Trophy haha
-
40 degree back to back winters with plenty of precip. There’s absolutely no comparison whatsoever to the 60s or 70s or 80s. that’s just trying to gloss over and compromise with reality We lost the snow because it’s too warm.
