We hardly had the heat running and I was mountain biking in shorts and t-shirts right through Christmas, 65* on Christmas eve at 8pm in the woods was awesome. If it's not going to be truly wintery spring is just fine. Give me snow or give me warmth, this in between garbage we've had this year is annoying. It was sickening and abnormal. And yes, we are going to see it again, because the planet is burning up. I had tomato seedlings popping up that December. A tropical plant. Quite disturbing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 It's par for the course but yesterdays totals of 0.9 inches at Newark, 0.7 inches at LGA and smack in the middle 0.2 inches at Central Park leads me to believe the Conservancy dropped the ball at the Park. It certainly wouldn't be the first time, and won't be the last. The Conservancy has been better than the zookeeper but far from perfect, especially on the minor events. 15.0 inches to go by December 31, 2020 to get the 30 year average in the Park to 30 inches. What looked like a lock two years ago is starting to look iffy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it's the 1990's that will keep the next 30 year average near or just below 30 inches. Since January 2001 the seasonal average in NYC is 33.2 inches. The period from January 1991 when they begin the next 30 year period calculation through December 2000 the ten year average was only 25.4 inches, despite the record breaking 95/96 season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1990s was transitioning away from the low points of the 70s and 80s. We still haven't seen a winter as great as 1995-96 and 1993-94 was also really good. Unfortunately they were book ended by winters that sucked (except 1992-93 which was about average here.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it did happen, given the garbage we see now, your best chance is a big March and November storm (sure to melt the next day) with nothing contributed in January February and December. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember my 14th birthday I got a weather radio that used to broadcast in megahertz I'd wake up every morning at 4:30 a.m. when the new update came out. what I do like is tracking snow storms and how the landscape looks during and after. The one thing I hate is driving in it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From bird watching/photography, to fantasy sport leagues, to golf, to casual romance, to the love of snow. The least common denominator of all harmless obsessions is pleasure and enjoyment. If that to you is, indeed, weird, you have my sympathies even though your professional skill will always have my admiration.

doncat Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I love it all...not just snow. Having your own weather station in your backyard, which I have had since I was ten...makes it all the more enjoyable. I have my own stats, my own normals. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
