There are plenty of highways on LI, espec in western sections. I think part of the problem is the high population density in Nassau and that to get in and out of LI you HAVE to go thru an even denser Queens. For Westchester, once you are out of Manhattan the density falls off dramatically which, combined with numerous highway/parkway options makes it a quicker ride.

I don't thing people necessarily trust the NAM (outside of 24h) but we had basically gone all winter without one of those classic "we've been NAMd" runs so it illicited a reaction from us that we haven't had in a year or so!
-
I think up to 4" is a good call for the city at the moment but if the 12z runs hold then it may be time to up them.
-
Snowman is knowledgeable (more than most including myself) but almost always harps on the least snowy solution. It's served him well in this garbage of a winter but I recall several instances over the years where he was proven wrong.
-
Wow I'd be thrilled even if those numbers in NYC were halved
-
Moderate snow in the UWS, not sticking (as usual)
-
Ensembles will be interesting as the Op may continue to be an anomaly.
-
Yea it's rare but it can happen. I'll never forget that Feb '10 storm (I think?) where NYC was being dumped on and Boston was raining in the 50s. That track was so insane that the rain/snow line was north/south oriented so even places north but just east of NYC saw mixing or even rain (I was living in Armonk which is northeast of NYC and I remember that for a time it was mixing while NYC was snowing).
-
Lack of a high/cold air source is an issue but I would have thought a storm of that strength at the benchmark would generate enough of its own cold air to keep it mostly snow at the coast...?
-
Norlons are so hard to forecast though, even only a few days out so the range of possibilities are still fairly wide
-
Really no point in getting overtly excited or disappointed in Op runs a week out, ensembles are the way to go and even for them a week out is a long while. At least we know the potential is there pattern wise.
-
Of course we can, just ask Snowman and he will clearly lay out all the possible ways we lose in the next few weeks, lol.
-
yea was hovering around 34 yesterday evening and 33 overnight in Manhattan. Not gonna do it in order to sufficiently accumulate or to stay all snow (not actually sure if it changed over to sleet or rain tho).
-
Yep, was about to respond mentioning this. My kid was quite upset when she found out about this last year lol.
-
Glad you may reconsider visiting as it's an absolute gem (especially the less crowded northern end) and you won't be disappointed.
-
Never been to Central Park?! That's nuts as it's truly one of the greatest urban parks in the world. Also, how can you hate it without ever having been there?
-
some flurries in the UWS
-
Doesn't have to be "major", most of us in the immediate NYC metro would be happy with a few inches.
-
Yea agree, pretty sad actually. Just hope those invasive lantern fly moths don't start emerging too early as they are awful.
-
Yea was reading the windchill could drop to -110 overnight, pretty wild!
-
Weather forecast/discussion for Mt. Washington, with absolutely insane wind chills expected - quite a read! https://www.mountwashington.org/experience-the-weather/mount-washington-weather.aspx

Cold Spring? Eh, unless it's snowing who needs that? A warmer than average Spring is at least enjoyable and not overbearing. As a NYC resident, things collapse winter-wise shortly after mid March (with some scattered exceptions) so I'm done with Winter by then!
-
I'm at 0.0 (technically a trace but that doesn't count)
-
all snow and coming down at a decent clip in the UWS though too warm to stick
-
Assuming most are snow weenies, why is MA optimistic?!
