uncle W Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 21 hours ago, CPcantmeasuresnow said: A very reasonable compromise. The under counts from years past of the big storms for Central Park are legendary and infuriating. I don't have enough time to go over all of them, and you mentioned some of the big ones, and I don't want to get all worked up this morning delving into that subject. On the positive side I think things have improved the last 4-5? years since the task has been taken from the incompetent, and I don't give a sh!t Central Park Zookeeper, to the Park Conservancy. They do seem to at least try to get accurate measurements. Many times in the past the zoo didn't even bother to measure, or just guessed and usually low as you stated. they under measured the January 2000 storm...the 5.5" should have been 6" or more...even today they reported no snow depth after the other day...they reported 0.7" with no snow on the ground the next morning...I had a 0.1 or 0.2" and still can see a little snow on my lawn...they screw up snow depth also... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They undermeasured/estimated most of the 2009-10 storms too, aside from the big snowicane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Looks mild & dry for several weeks. If we're lucky maybe this will be the default pattern that takes us right into spring. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm good with 40s & 50s for the winter. Luckily we don't get a lot of prolonged cold spells anymore. If it's not gonna snow then it might as well be mild/dry.

NYCweatherNOW Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 30 and cold still. It’s been a cold fall. Last night was the longest night of the year. Tonight winter begins at 11:19pm ET Tomorrow the day gets longer by a mere second and we should be warming up to mid 40’s.

bluewave Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Up to 37 degrees here on the South Shore. The local landscape crews got some nice weather for the last leaf clean up of the season.

Not a shocker there, the guys beyond brilliant. About as benign a weather pattern as you will see, incoming. At least we aren’t wasting cold air with no precip.

With all due respect to isotherm who is awesome, not really. He had december 2-3.5 degrees above normal and below normal to way below normal snowfall. I have had a significantly below normal december so far(today is 5 consecutive days of temps below freezing) and I have 13 inches of snow this month with some sort of snow cover for most of this month. Albany area has double that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wearing shorts to go for a run, ok...now if someone wears shorts to sit on a bench and watch the surf at 33 degrees, that would be a hardy soul LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
