Here's an interesting stat from OKX (sorry, they only had it for Central Park). Coldest combined January/February since 1920! I imagine it's coldest ever for BDR given their shorter record and possibility a similarly long span since Hartford had such a cold Jan/Feb combined!

Yup. JAN-FEB 2015 Average temp 23.9° at BDR was the coldest JAN-FEB on record. Beating 24.8° in 1994 and 25.4° in 1978.

Yup. JAN-FEB 2015 Average temp 19.4° at BDL was the coldest JAN-FEB on record. Beating 21.0° in 1994 and 21.3° in 1918

TWC and NWS in 2 different worlds with Wednesday night/Thursday snow. TWC has 1-3 inches for NY city..NWS 5-9.

Yup, 2-3" Tues evening, AND its possible for half foot again Wednesday night! Models trending colder and juicier

I'm guessing most if not all of that 2-3" will be washed away during the day on Wednesday?

This is going to be one helluva messy week.

It depends on whether it mostly stays south of us or not, still a lot of uncertainty on that.

Good point I didn't think about, the rain wil only melt and wash the new snow, not the existing snowpack. So chances are high that the snow we have on ground will be the same after the rain. Nuts. Maybe a couple less due to compacting. Its not like an inch of rain is going to fall.

If you believe Accuweather's 45 day wishcast (I usually dont, in fact they show a much quicker changeover to rain than the other forecasts for tomorrow night), it breaks next weekend (March 13) with several sunny days in the 50s, possibly near 60. Maybe Friday the 13th really is our "lucky" day.

Snow depth.

Lots of snow on ground. 1-2 feet across CT. Over 2 feet in Rhode Island.
Over a foot on Long island. I see 15" in NYC. Too lazy to check if that's Central Park.

Edit: Just checked Central Park and they had 10" yesterday morning + 4.8" of snow, so yeah, it's possible that's them, http://www.weather.gov/climate/index.php?wfo=okx

That is them, they had pre-storm a much higher snow depth than the other NYC locations (i.e JFK and LGA, even though LGA has several inches more total snowfall this winter).

My kids were in a regional bowling tournament down in Staten Island (finished and was back just before the snow started) and driving down the snow cover even in the Bronx vs the boros below it showed a big difference, I was kind of surprised at that.
