How many inches do they owe us through the years, and why do they under measure 90% of the time and hardly ever over measure? Mind boggling. Central Park should be a few inches over what they have this year, which is a recurring theme every winter. If they have 41” this winter it’s probably really 45”.

Spring is the most boring time of the year, so if it can be avoided, it's fine by me. Go right from winter to summer. Also, the pollen season is a worse hell than any kind of weather. I would sooner get a direct hit from another Sandy then experience the hell that is the pollen season. I think Dec-Mar is a long enough window for snow and cold, it’s gotten old now. And I hate when we go from one extreme to the other, spring seems like it’s going extinct, I’m sure April will be BN to N, and then we’ll be trapped on the wrong side of an omega block pattern for most of May before summer hits us like a ton of bricks. 3 inches here, get it out of here.

ers-wxman1 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Good morning. I was up visiting family in Basking Ridge, NJ for the holidays. Measured 6”. Nice little storm, perfect timing before sunrise. Roads caved quick out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother and I built a snow tunnel during that one; snow gear hadn't evolved much in the 60's from what it had been for decades; bulky snowsuits and rubber boots with metal clips, and the old wooden sleds, flexible flyers IIRC. We looked like the kids in A Christmas Story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sent an apology later one saying they screwed it up. We are off this week, but one school is making up days because of an asbestos closure. They made sure to call today and remind everyone in that school that they would be open, following a delayed opening schedule. It was rather nasty early on, but my kid made it out to Rutgers Cook campus ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drifts from 1/4 in lido on the south side of the golf course were incredible. Up to the second story on several houses. 6” does it on the UWS and going with 5.5” in wantagh based on reports from here.

Amazing how much less we've gotten here just a few miles west of NYC. NE New Jersey has really been the screwzone, but 41" is still a nice season.

Stinks that it all fell in March. Would have been one heck of a stretch if these 5 storms occurred starting Dec 22nd with bouts of cold in between and just think how much better they would have been with climo on there side. I love snow but March/April snow is upsetting since its gone in the blink of an eye. I like it when it snows and snows with cold all around and the streets stay white making my neighborhood look like a VT ski town. Just my weird opinion/obsession but its still nice to wake up to complete cakage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
