1 more month left then Spring!!! I hope.

That one too. What was interesting about that early November snow is somehow both the Baltimore-DC area and inland parts of the Northeast (including CT....I was living in the Albany, NY area at the time) got over a foot of snow, but coastal parts of the Northeast got a lot less in a mix (i.e. NYC got just 1.1")

New data suggests more warm air intrusions so reduction in snowfall amounts for the coast.



When you see rain in central Indiana and Ohio..in January, you know the warm air is too far north already.

Loop last 4hrs. Almost can pass for a Lake Cutter.


Tornadoes and Thunderstorms down south too.. But here it all comes.

A look at the current temps at 5000'.


Freezing line all the way to central Indiana and almost to Pittsburgh meaning its above freezing points south of that line..


You need this level to be below freezing for snow.


Storm is over Western Tennessee. Cold air in place for us though...for now until that storm gets closer.

Interesting side note I saw on a weather forum, it is in regards to NYC but reflects how "lame" this winter is in a different way, though this "streak" will break late tomorrow or worst case on Monday:

"The winters of 1932, 2002, 2013 and 2019 are the only four with no lows in the teens or colder from November 24 to January nineteenth."

I don't know if the fact that 3 of the 4 are in the last 17 years mean anything or is just the "luck of the weather dice" (I can find a lot of arguments for either so not a debate here). If you look up the winter of 1931-32 (especially January) that was a super "lame" winter, just as an example, the lowest low temperature that January for NYC was 24 degrees, I don't think any other January before or since even lacked a low in the teens (but I could be wrong).

Just watching WFSB video and it looks like most of the state is only getting 2 to 3 inches with higher totals in the hills.

Hopefully it's a trend toward warmer winters for us. If you want real snow, move up to MA. If you want a really nice place to live and have ocean too, the coast of New Hampshire. BAM! So much snow. Then in the summer you've got gorgeous beaches and great seafood.

I moved from there back down here for better weather and I hope this thing is just another nothingburger.

Not sure I get it. Please elaborate. Because this storm track is missing us by < 200 miles you think it's an indication of possibly warmer winters? Are you saying when storms missed us in the past we had warmer winters?


I know the 1980s didn't have many coastal storms but it was a cold decade. It's one thing to want something but you cant use a current event to make a future trend prediction.


Past 7 of the last 10 yrs has been crazy snowy but that doesn't mean it will be a trend towards colder or warmer winters.

There's still a bit more than 5 weeks of meteorological winter left, anything can still happen.

Don't wave that white flag just yet, just like I told my brother not to state a sure win after the Eagles jumped out to a 14 - 0 lead last week.

Oh definitely. February is actually our snowiest month in CT. 2 decent storms and we're back to Average.


But take a look at this nugget I just realized...


Every Decade since the 1970s Bridgeport has at least 1 yr with less than 10 inches.
