    As much as I have been frustrated, snow amount-wise, I'll still take this winter.

    Some very light snow showers in Garwood NJ, the road not even whitened, and the town salted my street twice!

    Sun is out, no flurries in Linden, NJ...

    I could see maybe LI because of ocean interaction?

    Some scattered cirrus at 10:28 AM in beautiful Tremley Point of Linden, NJ...

    So Central Union County NJ received two 29.5" snowstorms since 1996. Is it even possible that the greater NYC metro area can see a snowstorm >40", or a scenario of direct back to back storms totaling over that amount?

    That could be a very fun month!

    So I should plan on 7.5 years of retirement, if I begin October 01, 2025? I guess that should be enough time...

    The NYC watershed is in the Catskills? And I think they have somewhere around 40" of snow? I don't know if that is enough to help?

    64 degrees is better, with little to no wind...

    It seems the cold spots have been in either Siberia or Europe over the past 5 years or so. The Pacific jet didn't help during those years, just scouring out any cooler air in Canada. This year, we saw some of the cold pockets actually come up and over the poles, down into eastern Canada. I don't know if there is actually a why? Almost like a roulette wheel, a game of chance where the cold air will drop into to? Of course it will follow the path of least resistance, which some can explain better than myself...

    Too far north to get hit with southeastern forming storms, to far south of the polar air source?

    Hopefully this map illustrates how the earth in January, as a whole was warm, but the US was 0.9 degrees below the previous 30 year average...

    Don't they calculate average snowfall like average temperatures?

    With global warming, I don't think there is a "blueprint" for an active snow season.

    Despite only 10.3" IMBY this season, we had snow cover a substantial amount of the time. And I actually saw kids playing hockey on a local pond!

    They salted twice here in Garwood. They have been over salting the entire season. Even when the forecast calls for only 1-2" of snow with melting anticipated. And if you say anything, they'll begin their reply, "Well, if we didn't salt..."

    Snow amounts were close to what was predicted. It's just the duration and precipitation cutoff that weren't exactly correct. Snow hole, rain hole, precipitation hole. We rarely complain we are in a rain hole, unless there is a drought going on.

    Thump? You mean you'll be getting rates at an inch an hour, or more?

    0.8" of snow in Garwood. All over, except for a little light sleet. That brings my season total in to double digits, 10.3". Last week, this looked like it could have been winter wonderland, with 3 potential events. One by one, they all fizzled to minor events...
  23. Dark Star
    Another snow hole...
  24. Dark Star
    I think "banding" is overly used, but that is a discussion for another day...
  25. Dark Star
    But the lighter the snowfall intensities out east, the quicker the warmer air noses in aloft. Garwood just salted. Its 33 degrees, with residual salt from the last time, and rain is expected to start in about 3 hours.
