Not at this point it isn't. All it takes is a couple of tenths for my basement walls to start seeping again. When it rains an inch or more I suck 100s of gallons out with a shop vac over the next couple of days. We usually put a car in front of the house to make it easier to deal with the driveway but I can't because the mud is tenacious and I've been stuck several times now. The backyard is spongy and the garden is too wet to plant anything. #bringbackthedrought for a month or two  

But I'm jealous of your location...

[Allsnow]

73! Absolutely gorgeous 

[Brian5671]

69 here

[jm1220]

You can ever so slightly see the seabreeze front on OKX radar, just crossed the LIE in Suffolk. On DIX radar it’s much more visible.

[FPizz]

Came back from great weather in Aruba to great weather here (73), but also to tree that fell from the wind the other day and took out a few sections of pool fencing.

[dWave]

74 and sunny light breeze

[psv88]

73.

[winterwx21]

76 degrees here! Perfect weather for spending a lot of time outside. 

[lee59]

Got to 72 degrees here for a high, now 69.

74 did it, probably won’t see that again until April/May

Spring is by far my least favorite season. The others I like, spring is the worst

March was more like a winter month during the 2010s and is now a spring month In the 2020s.

People were using March snow and cold as a workaround for the loss of December in the 2010s. Like the season shifted vs what actually happened…the season shrunk

[donsutherland1]

Under brilliant sunshine, the temperature soared into the 70s across much of the region. New York City topped out at 74°.

The first two weeks of March had a mean temperature of 49.5° in Central Park. That broke the old record for warmest first two weeks of the month of 49.0° that was set in 2020. Five of the ten warmest first two weeks of March have occurred since 2000: 2000, 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024.

Despite some possible showers, tomorrow will be another very warm day with the temperature rising into the middle and upper 60s in the New York City area and middle and upper 70s from Philadelphia and southward. The generally mild conditions will persist through the coming weekend.

Afterward, it will turn cooler. However, as has generally been the case this winter, no direct Arctic shots are likely. As a result, the cold will likely not be severe for the season. Moderation will occur later in the week. The closing days of March could turn warm.

No significant snowfall appears likely in the northern Middle Atlantic region through at least March 20th. The probability of an unprecedented second consecutive winter with less than 10" seasonal snowfall in New York City's Central Park has continued to increase. Records go back to 1869.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +1.0°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +1.4°C for the week centered around March 6. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.98°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +1.53°C. A basinwide El Niño event is ongoing. The ongoing El Niño event will continue to fade during March. Neutral conditions could develop during the spring.

The SOI was +18.43 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.502 today.

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 94% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal March (1991-2020 normal). March will likely finish with a mean temperature near 47.1° (4.3° above normal).

New York City's Warmest March 1-14 Period:

[SACRUS]

Made it to 77 here today.

[Cfa]

Topped out at 75 here, low was 35. Most forecasts had it reaching 66-68.

[uofmiami]

Assume that 72 in N Nassau is my station in Muttontown or Syosset, as both hit that.

[jm1220]

Closest station to me hit 72. Was a picture perfect day. And no unless it’s well over 6”+ I don’t want any more snow. What falls this time of year is gone in under 24 hours anyway unless it’s 6+ and probably 10+.

Long range guidance starting to look very warm with a big SE ridge.

Let’s hope they’re correct.

You did. Winter is done. A few cooler days next week can’t change things.

[Roger Smith]

Another way to look at winter futility would be percentage of precip falling as snow. I took only Dec-Jan-Feb total precip and snowfalls, and on an assumption of 10:1 ratio, calculated percentages of precip falling as snow. In certain cases, snowfall liquid equivalent would introduce errors, and also a few winters would end up with better percentages if Nov or March were included (most would drop further). 

A lot of winters finish with percentages of 10 to 30, but most of the "futile" winters as found by total snowfalls are also below 10% conversion rates (1900-01 was not because it was quite a dry winter).

Top and bottom 20 winters are identified in full list below:

Long range guidance starting to look very warm with a big SE ridge.

Let’s hope they’re correct.

 

Definitely some chill next week but given the seasonal trend a big torch on the other end as every cool/cold period broke into a long torch

[bluewave]

NYC will need to see some snowfall improvement the next 5 years for the 2020s to avoid being the lowest snowfall decade following the highest during the 2010s since 1950.
