Central Park has always had a tiny ruler it seems. Or they measure from a manhole covering the steam infrastructure.

We really don't have to go back too far for a decent March snowfall in Manhattan itself. Though rare, 8.4 inches fell March 21-22 2018, 7.6 inches on March 4, 2017, and 7.5 inches on March 5, 2015. For a truly large snowfall in March though we have to go all the way back to 1888 in Manhattan where 16.5 inches fell. So I won't write it off yet, it is really produce or shut up time for the year now. If it is rain then the snowless streak of Central Park having 1 inch or more snowpack will hit a massive record before we see snow again.
-
I believe that is still from Tuesday. We had about a quarter inch encased in ice.
-
Ahhh and we finally have our deepest snow pack of the year, took the whole damn season.
-
I'll have to head over there. I have not yet been there.
-
We got around 5.5-6.0 in Patterson. It looks great outside!
-
Looking brilliant here in Patterson! This past week has finally felt and looked much more like winter. Fingers crossed for a decently snowy March.
-
Have you thought about just going outside??
-
I am so excited to this!! My son was jumping up and down. Hopefully we both get tomorrow off to head out to ski! Looks like 6-8 for me right now from guidance.
-
I never said anything about historic. But just merely pointing out that with the right air mass we can do well inland. Sure snow in the city is fine, but let's get it where it matters our local ski areas!
-
Sure urban heat island is a big deal for NYC, but… we don’t all live in NYC. Despite the warmer temperatures and higher sun angle, March is the snowiest month at Killington. Sure that is out of the tri-state, but there are many areas around here that routinely receive March snow. Urban heat island is something you see in any major city including Denver. Point is, while sun angle is important, some on here have you believe that once you get to March we are toast, which is not the case.
-
Elevation certainly plays a role, but you also see an increasing in the rate of sublimation because of sun angle. Point is sun angle is just ONE component, not THE only component. March has been snowier than December for awhile now, despite the sun angle. Air mass does matter.
-
And while we are all talking about sun angle, I guess it never snows in Arizona, Mexico, etc because the sun angle there is so much more intense. All that Utah, Colorado snow is just a fable since you need sunscreen this time of year to avoid burning. Must be skiing on ash and not powder. /s
-
Actually you have a late September sun by the end of March seeing as the first day of spring is March 20 which would correspond with September 23, the first day of fall. But semantics.
-
Sad thing is this isn't a joke! But I had to worry for a minute to make sure it wasn't poison ash raining down on us from Ohio and their latest disaster yesterday sadly /s.
-
Strongly disagree here our new climate will not be dry. It will be incredibly humid especially since the Gulf usually feeds us in the summer. Last summer was the blip.
-
Trace of snowfall on the ground in Patterson, NY! Woke up to some nice white snow for a change!
-
Disagree with what part? The whole west is not absolutely banking in on the snow. Vail has 247 inches so far. Their average for a season is 242. It isn't THAT incredible of a season for much of the Rocky Mountains. It is in some areas those and definitely in California, Oregon, etc.
-
Skiing today with my son at Thunder Ridge. I have never seen such a sad ski season before in all my years of skiing. Might have to use some miles and head to Colorado. This is ridiculous. I feel so bad for these areas especially since the covid shortened season of 19-20.
-
We had a few intermissions. She had to warm up again
-
Yeah they were mentioning that those with hotel reservations for the cherry blossoms in DC might want to bump their visit up. Truly insane.
-
Remember when it used to snow?? Pepperidge Farms remembers…
-
This is the most surreal winter I have ever lived through. It is actually pretty scary if you pay attention to the ecological signs. We may see record early leaf out this year. Not to mention the continued spread of invasives north.
-
Good lord this winter is by far the most ridiculous excuse for a season. Even people that hate winter are nervous now. It legit feels like we should all be going to Yankee Stadium and Citi Field. Why bother flying to Florida and Arizona for spring training.
-
At this point we can still get a good storm, but it is starting to look like even if the cards align it would be a snow and right back to 50s and 60s. This just wasn’t the winter for any of us. Best part though is seeing the home heating oil futures bank on a frigid winter with no supply. Faster we switch to heat pumps (geothermal or air source) the better for budgeting. So I guess that was the silver lining this winter. But for us snow lovers and skiers this ranks firmly at the bottom. Sure the man made snow has been decent, but it just isn’t the same looking at bare ground all around on a strip of white.
