What does this have to do with Central Park? Ah I'm just playin around.

NWS BOX discussion just issued. Very coy on snow impact but does seem to lean towards a big storm forming offshore. Of course, until/unless Cam starts a dedicated thread, we know there's nothing to be concerned about!

Wednesday night and Thursday...

12Z guidance continues to signal explosive cyclogenesis as it
pushes NE during this timeframe. Still model solution spread in
how deep this low becomes as well as its track up the coast.
Models are deepening this system down to possibly a sub-960 hPa
low as it passes during Thu. With a system this deep, it will
have an expansive circulation so will likely see strong N-NE
winds and the possibility of plowable snow across portions of
the region. May also see a snow/rain or even changeover to rain
across Cape Cod and the islands as milder air wraps around the
low.

What other years?

I have a nasty instinct this is an "event" since the Scientific Forecast on wunderground.com talks about possible coastal mixed precipitation.

In 1968 there was a day with a low of, I think, -1 and a high of 14.

Was at a family party. 7° at 8:30pm. Incredible. Heating demand huge.

Everyone was complaining and there I was the one without a jacket. Lol

I seriously don't know what maps or stats to post.

Todays Min and Max temps

Danbury: -1 / 12
BDL: -5 / 11
BDR: 2 / 14

7 wishes? A Central Park record feeding frenzy.

And I just found another meme out there. Interesting that it shows how much snow fell during the period:



And here's another meme, this one for BDR. Note that the snowfall is for the calendar year (Jan-Dec), not the season (Jul-Jun) as it's usually calculated:

Yeah, it's like if Joe Cantore pulls into town, you know something is about to happen

This monster storm off the coast Thursday might be 75 miles away from opening one.

I haven't even looked at December's summary or the year yet (which was a warm one thanks to Jan, Feb, April, Sept, October)
