...this 'high wind warning' so far is under-performing..yeah..its a little gusty, but

no 50-60 mph gusts..

One of the buoys had a gust of 54 at 1030am, and JFK had a gust to 49. But yea, nothing crazy. Top non-buoy gust I'm seeing in the area is 54 in Nassau County, but it was measured by the Coast Guard (2 mi E of Point Lookout) so I'm guessing that is over water too.

Unfortunately true for us NYC folks the best bet for accumulating snow in these type situations are the zones north and west of the city. But, its too early to throw in the towel. We could get some snow by mid week to accumulate on the grass and car tops again.

Amazing difference from the past couple winters -- digging through 5 ft drifts of snow and now falling to our knees in prayer for a car top slushy coating.

The average for NYC is around 26 inches. Central Park is at 7.1.

Central Park is actually at 7.4".

The average for NYC probably ranges from 24" along the South Shores of Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island to 32" along the Bronx / Westchester line.

Aren't we actually closer to average (snowfall wise) than the past 2 years?

In terms of how many actual inches Central Park is below normal versus how many inches it was above normal last year; yes, they are closer to normal this year. However, in terms of percentage, snowfall in Central Park is around 35% of normal to date this year....last year, it was over 200% of normal for the season .
