to compare winters, we have to wait until the snow season ends...we can tell what the average winter temp will be, and we already got the coldest temperature for the winter...snow depth days keep piling up...I use Newark now because Central Park is suspect at times...they didn't measure the depth for a while in the 1990's...after all is said and done this winter will be in the top five over the last 70 years...

Icon 900 miles north

Look at what you don't see on that map. The high is off the coast of Maine. That should actually be able to come more north than that.

Yes, Newark's temperatures may not be great, but they're actually very good with snow measurement.

Yep the high shifted way east on this run

Yea the high was north also in earlier frames

Let's see if other global's follow suit and not sure departing high is best all snow scenario for most. I would rather have one better organized storm on Wed but plenty of time to see how this all works out.

Its fine. There is enough cold air.

To make this an A+ winter we need at least 5" in March.

IMBY 2 separate 6 inch events in December

19 consecutive days of low temps below 20 and 22 out of 23 days at Islip beating Feb 1979 and Jan 1977.

Coldest 7,14 and 21 day period AFTER a significant snowstorm.

26 consecutive days with at least 4 inches of snow pack.

A HECS with winds between 55-60 MPH.

A long duration and snowpack and 2 KUs in the same winter. You either get one or the other, but never both before this winter.

66 inches, I was hoping and predicted 25 inches. This is one case in life where I am absolutely thrilled to be dead wrong.

A+ so far and we still have all of March to go through an early April which I believe we will get more snow.

Icon was more of an overnight into Tuesday morning event, gfs would be Monday day. Lot to figure out

There probably won't be enough cold air left for most on Wednesday.

You predicted this last March. You said that we were going to have blocking from the effects of the Honga Tsonga volcanic explosion. You did a damn good job.

imagine had we hit one of the storms in early Feb...would have been unreal. Happy to get more snow but if we torched starting tomorrow, I'm happy with that too. Incredible run from Thanksgiving on.

If we had gotten that blizzard that North Carolina had that would’ve been a complete shutdown. My first snowflakes and coating was on November 11, 2025. Perfect timing a week after I came back from Poland everything began.

Late Dec event was the only abject absolute failure here. Forecast had 4-6” got .8 sleet, rain and .6 snow the next day. Made up for the 10”er on the 14th I guess

That's one the Euro and NAM did well on they had the big snows NE of NYC. We got 8 inches here all snow.

this one's likely to take a few more days to iron out-everything all over the place.
