Look at a satellite image on google maps of Long Island. You will clearly see why. I don’t know why people don’t understand this phenomenon. URBAN HEAT ISLAND EFFECT. NYC and most of the 5 boroughs up to Yonkers, and west into immediate NE Jersey. Too much concrete. Simple!!

Doesn’t explain why we snowed when Rockland county mixed. It’s not just that.

It’s funny I drove to mount Vernon and it was snowing heavily I came back to the Bronx it was just alerting with some mangled flakes. I didn’t get that, temperature was also 29 there and 32 in the Bronx. I’m sure places to the north got a bit more on this last batch!

I drove home from the city. The road conditions changed dramatically almost on que near the bronx/yonkers line. I'm right at the border and its above freezing and been a mix for the last half hour but it seems a bit to my north temps are still below freezing.

Interior areas torched between 850 mb and 700 mb. Even the Poconos had sleet with temperatures in the teens this afternoon. The further east/north you got the colder you were aloft in that critical zone....especially on LI and CT (even if your surface was closer to 32).

Had about 2 inches of snow and sleet IMBY. Then nasty freezing rain with temps. stuck in the 20s.

Fine by me. Sadly, it will probably wait til March 20th to happen. Happy New Year, hope all is well!

I get a feeling we will get a good period in February into March with a big storm.  Don’t know why I think that.  I just think there's enough Niñoish type background state to pull it off

7:00 PM measurements which by the looks of the observations afterward won't change much at midnight.

Central Park....2.1

Brings the seasonal to 4.8 and leaves them 12.9 inches short of getting to a 30 inch average for the 1991-2020 period. Very doable.

LGA 1.9, JFK 1.6, Newark 1.8,  Islip 1.9, Bridgeport 2.5

Since you brought it up

Top Ten least snowiest winters in NYC since 1870

  1. 1972-73.....2.8 inches - hopefully never to be broken
  2. 2001-02.....3.5
  3. 1918-19.....3.8
  4. 1931-32.....5.3
  5. 1997-98.....5.5
  6. 2011-12.....7.4
  7. 1877-78.....8.1
  8. 1988-89.....8.1
  9. 1900-01.....9.1
  10. 1996-97...10.0

The fact that 3 of the top ten were in the 6 year period from 1996-97 to 2001-02, and 1998-99 didn't miss making the top ten by much at 12.7 inches, just emphasizes how nightmarish that period was. It was like a Stephen King novel for snow lovers.

I think the 1950s had a bunch of near misses too
