@weatherwilly I always say the same exact thing. Imagine it being 20-25 degrees colder than normal - consistently for days & weeks - in Nov & Dec. It hardly ever happens. Even getting it to happen in Jan & Feb is difficult (except for this rare winter). But warmer temps? Yes, all of the time!
@weatherwilly Had light flurries in the Poconos yesterday. Likely the last snow for at least 9 months. Another lackluster winter for the NE aside from very cold air. We are definitely stuck in some type of pattern that's preventing big storms from happening. RIP 2025/25 snow season ๐ข
@weatherwilly This season was almost all southern hits. NYC metro is kryptonite for snow! Storms either produce west of us, south of us, north of us, or they go out to sea. Like you, I don't expect any surprises in March. 14 storms in Central Park & like 12" for season ๐คฃ Trend is your friend
@weatherwilly I'm a DIEHARD winter lover. One who despises heat & humidity. But I have to admit, this season was RIDICULOUSLY frigid almost non-stop since the end of December. You'll rarely hear me say this...however, bring on spring! Especially since NYC metro is still in a snow donut hole ๐คฌ
@ryankanerWX You'll RARELY hear me say this, but with all the frigid cold we've had since late December, I'd gladly welcome a torch at this point. I love snow, not Siberia-like temperatures.
@weatherwilly Old copywriting trick. Long copy always wins out over short, as it satisfies all. If you do longer vids and someone is seeking detailed info, it's a win. And if someone wants a shorter blurb, they can always stop watching at any point. Can't make both happy with shorts only ๐
@P_SimmsWX This is what I call a realistic, professional outlook. No fantasy maps, screaming from the rooftops about impending blizzards two weeks away, or swinging from the chandeliers while raving about an ice age coming. We'll done, sir ๐ ๐ ๐
@jake_wx If it's not a forecast, why post it?! Because fantasy maps 2 weeks out equal clicks! You are not a professional forecaster, but certainly ARE a huge part of why weather on social media is putrid nowadays ๐๐๐๐๐
@weatherwilly As I said yesterday, I predicted flurries at best in Northern PA/NJ, so yes, this is a pleasant surprise. Good excuse to get the snowblower warmed up ahead of this weekend's monster! โ๏ธ
@weatherwilly It would be more beautiful if this were Wednesday or Thursday so it would be further "locked in." However...this is definitely something to have slight excitement over at this point.
@weatherwilly Your original forecast might verify after all if it keeps up like this for a few more hours ๐ About 1/4 inch on the ground thus far in Stroudsburg.
@weatherwilly It's almost unreal. Longest cold stretch in years in the Northeast, great blocking in place...and it's still like pulling teeth to get sizable snow in NYC metro. Can you imagine if we waste this rare pattern with zilch? Still plenty of winter to go, but geez ๐ซ
@weatherwilly Nothing wrong with being wrong. Even the greatest of baseball players strike out occasionally ๐ That being said you weren't far off aside from bringing the accumulating snow too far north. Now all eyes turn to next weekend ๐คฉ
@weatherwilly As much as I'd like to be angry about missing out, I'm happy for my snow peeps in southern NJ. They usually get shafted on storms, so they deserve this. Nice sized system that should deliver a 6-8 or 8-10 in places like A.C., Cape May, etc.
