So . . . winter's over now, right?

It's fackin' cold again

It's going to be what it should be for the next 6-10 days.

Yeah, we're supposed to get a foot over a couple days next weekend.

Then, as soon as the snow quits, it's supposed to get single digit highs for the weekend.  Fuck it.  We're built for this.

So, in December we had over a foot of snow.  On Monday, they are expecting a storm that could dump 10 inches on Manhattan.

In any case, here was the temp at 8 this AM.  Was bright and sunny and fucking cold.

Possible coldest weather of the season could drop down next Saturday.  More here if it happens.  Talkin' daytime highs maybe < freezing.

Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it, too.  But... models gonna model.

Edit:  Forecasts are split right now, many of them are going with highs in 60's next weekend, and these things are always a crapshoot until about 3 days out.  We'll see.

Oh please oh please oh please

Ok, so we are under a winter storm warning here in NYC. 14 to 18 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow with wind gusts up to 45 miles an hour and blizzard conditions tomorrow. We got 12 to 13 inches in the last storm in Dec.

Anyone know what is going on in NYC?

It's the "I'm doing keto!" of cities.

Light snow

"And a little ice."  /ElaineDickinson

Meh, my Tapa fucked up this AM.

It's been snowing since 6 or so here. They updated the storm total to 18-24 inches and deBlasio has declared a state of emergency and put a stop to nonessential travel from 6 am tomorrow.

Streets look fine, storms a nothing burger

The plows have been running since about 8 pm last night. They come through about every 15 minutes.  Last time (December), they did not do that.  They were not expecting the snow.  This time, with the expectation, they went gangbusters.  Also, helps that DeBlas basically put a stay at home order out for the duration of the storm.

Also, I am sure that all the people stranded due to canceled flights (all flights in NYC canceled) also agree with your take it is a nothing burger.  

The big stuff missed us. It's been snowing for over a day but, most of what fell yesterday, at least on the roads, melted. Waking up today there were between 2- to 3-inches on teh cars, and deck and grass. Nothing major. A little sun and the roads are clear now.

It was sarcasm. Does all of that snow get dumped in the harbor or what?

It will melt.  Until then, it is piled up off sidewalks and roads and under/over cars on the sides of the streets.  It is really coming down, and has been since about 10 AM.  It has definitely accumulated a lot more.  Central Park is going to be awesome.  Also, right now, it is about 28 F.  I just came back inside from walking the dogs.  In 5 minutes, we were all covered in snow.

You must wait until the groundhog in Punxsutawney gives word tomorrow.

We need a different animal this far south.  Maybe a horny toad can check his shadow on January 10th.  I was stung by a wasp this weekend.  Weird short winter in Austin.

Doesn't hurt that there's been a de facto S-A-H order for about 10 months now.

Damn, that looks and sounds cold.

Also, please turn your phone sideways when making a video.

 

Vertical video looks fine on my phone.  Also, hard to get the buildings holding the phone horizontal.  It is now a balmy 34 degrees, but the snow is still falling like gangbusters.  The wind is also still going strong.  Snow is expected to continue until 9 to midnight tomorrow.  It is warming up a little, so we might get some rain/sleet with the snow, which will make this all a lot of fun.  

This week is going to be interesting.  Glad I work from home.

NYC is a strange place when massive snow strikes. We were there for the Big East in ‘93 and had the big blizzard.  It was kind of fun because the only people out and about seemed to all be going to the tournament.

Sluggish, like a wet sponge.

83 in the Panhandle today.

 

Of course that could be the wind speed tomorrow...

Central Park was 17 or 18 inches I believe.

Isn't 58th & 1st over a mile from Central Park?  Thanks a lot climate change! 

Most of the weather models are coming into agreement that it will get cold here next week.  The two major models are about 10 degrees apart, but some people I follow are talking possible once every 30 years level of cold as a possibility.

If I were you, I'd make my liquor and grocery store run now.  Get everything you think you may need because while it may not hit us in Texas, it most certainly will hit you.  Prepare your anoose. 

This’ll be the coldest it’s been in 2 years for us. that cold stretch was fun. Our upstairs bathroom is located above our then unheated garage so the pipes froze. After “heating the garage” via opening the door to inside the house and some shit plug in heaters I had, the pipes thawed. That was stressful. Dropped 2 grand to install a garage heater that spring and it’s the greatest thing ever.

Also had the dryer vent freeze shut on us...so that was fun. Chili is on order for the weekend, probably not a lot of laundry

Pretty much the same for us.  This isn't forecasted to be as bad as the vortex of '19, but we're looking at 7-8 days of single digit highs, and overnight lows below 0.  -15 on Saturday night looks to be the rock bottom.  That's miserable, but I'll take it over the -35 we had in '19.
