Look a few posts above I posted this earlier.
Who cares if it's not a lot tjisnpattern and our luck has been awful SO FAR! This is a nice surprise for sure. Harbinger of good things to come??

Moderate snow and a 1/4" OTG. Look beautiful.

28 degrees ,flurries.Had an inch overnight to freshen the snowpack.

by **amugs** Mon Jan 24, 2022 6:56 am

1/4" here at 27* looks beautiful and light snow flurries continues.

by **amugs** Tue Jan 25, 2022 9:37 am

Had some light flurries again last night. 3 days in a row -wooo hoo!
And February doesn't look to be as MILD as the "Heat Miser" said it woudl be last week.

by **docstox12** Thu Jan 27, 2022 6:34 am

-3 degrees.Plenty of dense cold air to force the snowstorm S and E of me,LOL. Clear and calm.

by **CPcantmeasuresnow** Thu Jan 27, 2022 6:58 am

-3° too and what Doc said.

Hoping to get 3-5 up here as some of the models have and freshen up our snow pack which still stands at a rock hard 5 inches.

We are right at the cutoff CP so that would be a bonus.Not at all hopeful as of today but will check tomorrow am for any further westward movements.

3* this morning- tied my seasonal low temp thus far, hoping for a 4” snowfall out of this weekend here, would be nice to get a western jog, but keeping expectations low…

by **dkodgis** Thu Jan 27, 2022 12:48 pm

-7 this morning. If we get a few inches, so be it. Pack needs a touch up

by **docstox12** Fri Jan 28, 2022 7:07 am

23 degrees, cloudy calm.
Woke up to 3 to 6 inches possible here with a WWA from 1 to 2 yesterday, so the westward shift happened.I see the B word down at the jersey Shore so my Sister in Ocean Grove will be happy.Maybe A little more west will give me closer to 10.Almost at nowcast time and the storm will do what it will do.

That's incredible AC January snowfall totals.

CP gonna finish 3 degree BN and AN snowfall. That is impressive.

by **jmanley32** Sun Jan 30, 2022 4:12 pm

25 degrees, snow is melting but slowly, very strong sun. I would not at all be unhappy if it melted off the streets but stayed everywhere else, they still did a horrible job plowing, some shaded side roads are a mess. Yonkers DOT is abismal.

Reminds me of 1996 when I lived down there in Galloway while going to Stockton College (now University). Blizzard of 96 got about 18 inches plus a number of other storms producing snow until April that year.

A little ice to open up February? Freezing drizzle though not shown on this map could very well be

Been seeing this popping up, mugsy, but haven’t looked into it. Almost looks a little Norlun-y to me at first glance, though, doesn’t it?

And yes, according to rb’s meteorological dictionary, “Norlun-y” is a word: “of, relating to, or having the same or similar properties to a classic Norlun Trough.” lol!

Ok, it’s not. It’s actually being generated purely by warm advection in the mid-levels. You can actually find the fronts at H7 and H5 in the vorticity field. Pretty cool.

by **docstox12** Mon Jan 31, 2022 6:28 am

-2 degrees, clear calm wind.Gradual warm up each day this week.Maybe a little back end snow Friday afternoon at this juncture from NWS.

by **heehaw453** Mon Jan 31, 2022 6:30 am

2.7 degrees substantial snow OTG on last day of January. Absolutely no complaints from me!

by **heehaw453** Mon Jan 31, 2022 6:33 am

I take 1" off snow measurements for the recent event. Neighbor said 7" fell in part 2 of storm. Family says 6" plus the 1.75" during day gives me 7.75" event total. Not too shabby still.

by **Radz** Mon Jan 31, 2022 6:44 am

2* currently love the snowpack

by **amugs** Mon Jan 31, 2022 6:45 am

4* here and winter wonderland outside.

by **SENJsnowman** Mon Jan 31, 2022 7:03 am

16* and white fluffy snow as far as the eye can see. GSP Exit 80.

This chart tells the tale of the winter pattern to date.Atlantic City 4 times as much snow as normal and Albany more than 50% less.Math had to go to Boston FROM Albany to get into the big snow.
The pattern or trend is S and E this year and until that breaks, I expect that to continue all winter.Once these patterns set, like 1995-1996 , they last a long time.

I have to say Doc that what we are seeing Albany is going to make up for it in the next 10-15 days as the pattern is shifting. Ninoesque pattern STJ (Split flow) with a Nina base state
