Got lots of Arborvitae shrubs in my neighborhood that have offered a good supply of food this winter. Many have been totally eaten and will never come back. Not sure why people plant those shrubs in particular with the deer population being what it is. It is like fine dining to them.

ok...I think I will put my bagel and coffee off to the side for a while.

Bring it ! Please!

Without a significant turnaround during March and April can foresee water restrictions coming for the Summer season.

In addition to all you have shown those maps clearly show significant changes in the pattern than what we have been in for the last 4-6 weeks. PV has retreated into north central Canada with the coldest of the air trapped underneath it. More energy coming into the west coast. High latitude blocking has faded. Western ridge has shifted west to western Alaska. STJ looks a little more pronounced. Looks like our weather pattern here will be more northern stream dominated over the next week or so. We'll be on the southern fringe of cooler Canadian air and northern fringe of milder air moving eastward from the central U.S. Hard to envision any meaningful snow over the next 7 to maybe 10 days.

Same here.

After steadily increasing QPF amounts over the least several issuance's the latest WPC 7 day QPF has been notable decreased. This has been an ongoing trend. Systems that offered promise in the longer range just dwindle as we get closer. I'm not even looking for snow at this point. I just want some rain.

Two interesting videos: https://x.com/i/status/2020641229676089405 https://x.com/i/status/2020626195717714010

Thanks. I knew January 77 had to be on the list. Late 70’s into early 80’s had some solid cold. Hard to believe it took from 82 until now to add to the list.
-
Don, what would be the one before 1982? Just wondering.
-
Great photos Don. Thanks!

Looks like southern RI and locations NE of Boston take the prize with snow totals last 24 hours.
-
Pretty much been this way starting back in late November. NE last to get in on any warmup and also dry. NE has really hung tough with the cold this winter season.
-
Looks gradual enough as of now.
-
Would agree on the 3 but a properly situated temperature sensor would make quick work of the 99 with the right synoptic situation. They need to move that sensor back to the castle if they want the readings to be more representative of temperatures in the city proper.
-
Have to agree with you. Had everything you mentioned plus snow cover locally. Absolutely correct about no mitigating factors on the way into the metro. Snow cover along the route, rapid movement southward and a very favorable air mass trajectory. If NYC didn't hit zero with this not sure what it would take to get there at this point. I wasn't expecting it to hit zero but was kind of still rooting for it. Have to wonder if the Arctic front had moved through during the mid afternoon instead of around daybreak if NYC could have squeezed another 2-3 degrees out of it.

Overnight low of -3. Currently-1. Winds still howling. I am ready to move on. The week ahead looks dry with moderating cold. No torch but a least closer to normal by the end of the week. The current snow pack is frozen solid and the mounds will be around for weeks to come out this way.
-
Winds still howling. Temperature holding between -0.2 and +0.2 since around 7pm.
-
As they say…thanks for your service. Not an easy job. Especially for those that deliver the mail on foot.
-
Agree. Dock workers or anyone who has to work outside in this. Terrible. I could never do it.
-
The coldest air at 850 is just about over us now. With the wind persisting overnight and the coldest of the air overhead currently (at least from the city on westward) I would not be surprised to see temperatures bottom out around mid night and then hold steady or rise slightly before daybreak. CAV is just about peaking now. Temperatures across NY southern tier (BGM area) are holding rather steady last few hours. Maybe another 2-4 degree drop from the city west and another 3-5 across LI.
-
An even 0 here right now (7:00 p.m.) and house is still creaking from the high winds here on top of the hill.
-
Currently 1.5 here with winds still gusting 25-35 mph. Just too bad that s/w didn't rotate off the coast about 100 or so miles further south and start to go negative. That surface low would have delivered the goods to this entire sub forum. Another near miss of something really good! So close.

Had some light snow for a couple of hours last evening in the hours before mid-night. Woke up at 4:00 this morning to near blizzard conditions in a heavy snow squall as the Arctic front was moving through. Temperature was 21 degrees. Not sure exactly how long that squall lasted. Woke up again at 7:00 and winds were howling and the temperature had fallen to 7 degrees. Currently 5 degrees. Melted total in the the cylinder was .03", that was the easy part of the observation. Snowfall was very difficult to measure with the howling winds and the light fluffy snow. New snow was blown clear in some spots. Found a more sheltered location on the south side of the house and .70" was best measurement. Snow still blowing off rooftops and it looks and feels like the Arctic tundra out there. Fitting way to bring this prolonged bitter cold period to an end. Moderation is coming for next week....still cold though, no torch.

What was ISP total from the storm?
