I've camped there many times. Never had a stove in my tent though. Might have had a Sierra Nevada or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It snowed on and off of all day at camp. We made the most of this lame winter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always considered Manhattan and Central Park where the elitist of the elite hang out and I'm not into that kind of snobbery. I also don't like the obsession over Central Park weather, New York City is a lot larger than just that one park and I feel the conditions over the entire city need to be taken into account when considering records....this discussion has been had on this forum ad infinitum, whether it's averaging of the park plus the two (or three airports if you also consider Newark) or taking the highest and lowest of all of them combined for the records. I happen to support all of that since it gives a much fuller picture of the city than just one location which isn't even accurate in its measurements of snowfall, wind or temperature. I've been to the Bronx Zoo and Prospect Park several times, just never Central Park. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Seeing LIE mentioned in storm thread. After we moved to Texas (1981), they renamed NY 495 to I-495, which bothers me, as even number prefixes to a 2 digit interstate is for loops (like I-610 in the Houston inner loop highway) and the LIE is a spur of 95, or should be I-395 or I-595. The I-495 beltway in Massachusetts follows the rule. I'm old enough to remember the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway being new, when there was talk of a bridge extending it over the Sound to Connecticut. I see Seaford and Lindenhurst posts, none from Amityville or Massapequa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyWx Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Can't believe it, but I was actually looking forward to tracking this storm and now watching it play out. I guess I need some snow before I can appreciate spring warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Periodic update on the extreme forecast for NYC for 3/1-4/15: 5° below normal; 20" snow. https://www.americanwx.com/bb/topic/58486-winter-banter-thread/?do=findComment&comment=6823796 Based on the latest guidance, the first 10 days of March will average around 1° below normal. For the overall 3/1-5/15 period to average 5° below normal, the remainder of the period would need to average 6.1° below normal. The 1991-2020 normal temperature for 3/11-4/15 is 46.9°. That means the period would need to have a mean temperature of 40.8° or below for the extreme forecast to verify. The last time that happened was in 1956. Future updates will be based on actual data. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannabehippie Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 So now that we are safe in NYC from setting an all time lowest snowfall record, how much more snow will we get this year? What are people's thoughts on this? We are going to start to run out of chances IMHO to get any significant snow. Of course we can always get an April surprise, but those are usually not the norm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Given the extreme forecast made concerning New York City's March 1-April 15 snowfall, a look at what will likely be needed to get there is in order. Approximately 77% of New York City's March 1-April 15 snowfall occurs during March 1-21. All cases with 20" or more such snowfall had 10" or more during March 1-21. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re not safe. NYC stands at 2.2 inches officially, even though areas of the Bronx received over 5 inches from yesterdays storm. The record low is 2.8. Still achievable, if one would call that an achievement. Especially the way the doofus at Central Park often under measure or don’t measure small events.

As long as JFK remains below the record it's going to be historic, at 1.7" currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
