I'm surprised temps in the city remained low enough for a very light ice accumulation, which of course was quickly melted away by a cold rain. North of White Plains and north shore of Long Island is the place to be this winter for above average snowfalls. We can't complain as we're around average, though the hype leading up these types of events in the future should be less forum-wide and more specific to locations. Orange and Ulster counties for example have had a very different experience the past two events, as forecasted, yet some folks somehow translate that to a comparable event in the immediate metro area. That simply hasn't been the case. My 2.8" was pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That simply hasn't been the case. I don't know man, here on the South Shore I've had 24" divided in between three events. This doesn't even include any of the minor 1-2" events. Besides the warm temps, we don't have much to complain about this winter. Two events with between 8-12 inches of snow and one event with 3-4 inches of snow this season.

Yeah I guess I mean that 24" is around average for the entire season for us, so we're actually out ahead for this point in time, and have plenty of time to get to 30" or above.

Ah ok... I agree its been a solid winter up here but most north of I-78 are atleast on par for a average to above average winter snowfall wise. Our LI guys here are having a pretty good winter as well especially those on the north shore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East and north have done well, especially the north shore of Long Island. When you combine north and east, you get central CT, RI, and eastern Mass/Maine who are having a great Jan/Feb. luck of the draw this go around.

It kind of reminds me of a mish-mash of some other winters, it's a combo of a southeast ridge that's too strong and miller B's that blossom a bit later and favor areas that are closer to the storm's track, so north and east. Some areas end up in the screw zone between southwest flow systems that favor areas further north and miller B's that favor areas further east.

Philadelphia and central Jersey have gotten shafted, the former moreso. This winter has exceeded my expectations for our parts given temperature anomalies and I do think we have the possibility of at least one other event in early March, if not this coming Thursday.

The last event we ended up with 9.4 inches when it originally looked like 3-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I feel bad for them, this last storm was supposed to be better for Philly than the 2" they actually got. Did you see how astonishingly low the snowfall totals have been for Allentown? Allentown is at my latitude (about the same as the south shore of LI and JFK) and they only had 3 inches of snow going into the last storm, which gave them 7 inches. Check out the discrepancy between Allentown and JFK, both of which are at the same latitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
