I asked AI to predict the December weather based on this thread. Not sure how/if it weights posts, but it said everything is going to suck forever and then we'll die. In my own experience, there is close to zero correlation between these threads and actual mid to long term outcomes one way or the other (except for potentially the dying part). But at least it's entertaining. The next two weeks should cool the local sea surface temperatures (high confidence).

If we have to replicate that period, could we include a 1978 and 1996 in the mix?

What? 5% not rain? Now I'm getting interested!

Ambient 2902 is at 0.46" and counting, but it tends to run slightly high.

ISP will probably finish November with a positive temperature departure.

12z NAM snow totals look reasonable for the coast.

The 12/5/2002 snowfall was a gem.

December can't suck forever, but I get it.

Gate crashing here because this might be the more interesting thread over the next week. I'm in the Catskills on Wednesday, so there's that. Of course if I'm placing my bet on the LHV, that could be the kiss of death so I am apologizing in advance. Regardless of outcome, it looks like December will keep our attention.

The daily snowfall record is potentially misleading (I didn't look to find examples). For Central Park daily snowfall covers 12:00 am to 11:59 pm. There could conceivably be a snowfall approaching 8" that spans both sides of midnight without either day reaching 4". I am sure similar events have happened, although I do not know if it happened within the streak periods.

I'd also like to see the original wording of the query, just to further my understanding of how the bot responds.

I was remote for a lot of years before it was fashionable going back to 2006. Not commuting was great, but I actually enjoyed traveling and seeing human beings in an office during that time. These days I'm a self-employed team of 1 (mostly) and all the back office functions are conducted at home, but that isn't really "remote". Low here was 27.9⁰. The 4 hours around 28 or 29⁰ wasn't quite a hard freeze. Maybe there was farther from the sound.

28.9⁰ here now. It's been below freezing since 7pm, but flatlined at 29⁰ for the past 2 hours. Stations just to my south are running 26 - 27⁰ and stations just to my north are running 31 - 34 (with a few higher). Just north of that is a lot of relatively warm water.

Overnight rainfall here only 0.06". Most of the precip was to our S and SW.
