I think we are going to see wild temperature swings in March. TRUE torch conditions (not 50 degree fake torch days that average out to a record month), however 60 degree plus days.

I also think we will have strong cold shots when cutters pass. 

I am hesitant to say "winter is over" as this is a perfect weak trailing wave light snow event setup.

Just looking at the GFS show multiple coating to 2 inch events. We will not have the pesky negative NAO to cause compression this time (December was a disaster cool and dry).

Boxing Day must've been a severe undermeasurement at ISLIP.  No way they only had 14.9 for the entire month when NYC got 20" just in one storm.  I never trust ISLIP snowfall stats anyway.

 

The measurement for Boxing Day at ISP was correct. The best  banding with that one was closer to NE NJ. Much less out across Suffolk.

What do we know about this? Impact here?

 

from Ventrice below:

The Madden Julian Oscillation is the strongest we've seen since last November. But you wouldn't know this if you were looking at the ECMWF's prediction of the MJO in the real-time multivariate MJO index. This is a time where the RMM index is failing at identifying this event.

Yep, the death bands were over Monmouth, Staten Island and eastern Union counties for that one.

I was in North Brunswick at the time. My then girlfriend / future wife and I were snowed in by 4+ foot snow drifts in our ground floor apartment. Was absolutely insane. 
 

That storm also was phenomenal where we live now down in Ocean. A true coastal snow bomb.

After it’s absolutely abysmal, pathetic performance with this last event and many others this winter….the GFS could show that the sun is going to rise tomorrow morning and I wouldn’t believe it. The fact that it’s ranking at #4 among the other models is very telling

When you have a setup like we just had and you have goofball model runs showing snow in NYC, it’s obvious that you just completely and totally disregard them and go with reality, basic meteorology and physics. You don’t get midlevel low tracks like we just had along with the associated midlevel warm nose and have snow in New York City or anywhere close to New York City, anyone who believed that needs to go back to met school. Those models were on crack showing anything but just sleet and rain given those torched midlevel soundings. This was nothing more than a ping fest and an impressive ping/sleet fest at that I will admit, but still a sleet fest to rain none the less

Even a place like Boston didn't get the amount of snow they expected....I don't see 8 inch amounts coming in from that region

Agree. Except I don't think the models were that bad.   It seemed clear what was going to happen for several days.  I understand we live in a densely populated area so being 20 miles off on the 0c line (at multiple layers of the atmosphere) will make a large different to a lot of people but it doesn't mean the models were bad.

The models were not that bad. This was what I expected for a large chunk of the area. And Snowman was certainly not correct either. Lots of local ski areas reported 5+ inches before a change to sleet. It looks like winter in southern and northern Westchester this morning. Stop the bickering. This has been a decent winter so far. (Outside of December)
