I must be blind. I see a 58 up on the St Lawrence river along the border. Maybe we're looking at different maps :shrug:

Lol, look right above Ryan Maue's name at the very very top of the graphic.

The max is actually Redfield, Over 310" on the year. Look up Carol Yerdons twitter account, she's been official spotter there for quite awhile. Places south of my area are over 200" as well in ski country.  (Perrysburg NY) I'm at 119" here in Hamburg. 

Pretty amazing to get that much snow in one season.

Wow it has Montauk at 31" I wonder where they come up with these numbers?

That map is pretty accurate for my area. 32.7" here and I see a 32" marker just to my east on that map.

Yeah but I'm under that 32" but have 26.3".  That said, when I first saw that map in the NE branch there were a good number who said it was pretty accurate for their area.

It would be pretty funny if the latest euro verified with all the winter is over talk

[forkyfork]

i love how so many of you get the vapors from the mere mention of winter being over from some random weenie

[forkyfork]

weatherguy12345: the ensembles show a strong ridge in the east and it's mid february, we might not have much winter left

I wonder if anyone is taking the Euro and Canadian seriously for this weekend - Euro has a MECS - nobody even discussing it here

[uncle W]

so far NYC has five days with a maximum 19 or lower with the lowest max of 13 in early Jan...winters not over but seeing days with a max in the teens is probably over...five days is the most since 1981-82 tying 1993-94...the low max of 13 is the lowest since 1993-94...last year had none and the lowest max was 23...the years with the highest lowest max since 1948 are...

Guys, guys! I'm not positive but I think this weekend's snow is going to melt at some point after it falls. @SnoSki14, can you confirm?

Not really. If it has record-breaking potential, I'm all for it. Just amused by all the folks who committed to no snowfall the rest of the month trying to save face by loudly carrying on about how quickly it'll melt. I don't think anyone has any delusions about whatever comes of this weekend's threat being the beginning of a months-long permafrost.

[forkyfork]

pretty sure more people have busted in the other direction

Damn, and I was going to be a big raise at work if we can keep whatever snowfalls through next week...

It's the same people over and over again mentioning winter is over or it's gonna melt in a couple days. I'm just looking forward to CIK62 and his prediction of above normal temps in march of 2021

Didn't Dulles used to outdo NYC in at least half their winters?

Dulles average was always several inches less than NYC.  There was an MA poster years ago who liked to make that comparison; his numbers were something like 21 at IAD and 22 at NYC.  He cherry picked his years.

[EasternLI]

I like that snowfall map, it seems mostly accurate from reading the NE threads. Thats nice to see. Those types of maps I recall as usually being pretty horrid in that regard.

I'm in that 12 zone...and very possibly could end there. I have a feeling the weekend thing finds a way to not happen. Some years are like that.

this forum: 

I don't think we will either. A while back I said it would take a remarkable turnaround for me to get to average snowfall and people criticized me for it. Well, I'm still waiting.....mid Feb is here and today I walked outside without a coat for an hour at lunch and no hat...and I'm bald. So this weekend will hopefully deliver because banking on March snow in my neck of the woods is dicey. And for the record, I'm a closet snow weenie....

It depends on what your not wearing.

[Brian5671]

just hoping to crack an inch here...have not seen a single storm drop more than an inch of snow since the 1/4/18 biggie....BDR with .5 of an inch for the month of Feb, if this storm doesn't deliver it will be 2nd place for least snowiest Feb.

Dulles is not in WDC it is in NW Virginia, 32 miles WNW of WDC at a higher elevation.

To use Dulles snow totals to represent WDC averages is like using the averages in NW New Jersey to represent NYC.

I wasn't disagreeing.  just pointing out that it still averages less snowfall than Central Park.
