A New Yorker posted an airbnb listing of an igloo he made:

Default Hooray! :D

High forecasted in the forties tomorrow, barely below avg temps! After that, a few more below avg days and then next week, it might reach 50! Seeing that forecast made my day!

Hoping for a 48 degree February to counter the cold period and snowstorm we just had... let it melt!

No way in hell it would be snow in the Northeast with a storm going up to the Great Lakes unless there was a massive high pressure in New England or a very strong jet stream diggin down. Not looking like the case right now. Rain.

Yup. Sorry. I just checked the Euro Ensembles, not others. You would need a 150 mile shift East from what I saw

looks cold enough north, showing 5-8 inches

Whitefield, NH (03598) Forecast | Weather Underground

but here looks like warm air arrives at the same time

why would a Great Lakes storm bring warmer air, again?

Easy to remember by thinking about the spin. Storms spin counter clockwise so there is a warm southerly surge into the Northeast. The stronger the storm the stronger the warmer air is.

But sometimes precip can move in before the warmer surge of air so you get a snow to rain senario. Mountains and northern New Eng excluded but we seen Montreal get rain from GLC's .

Btw.. Euro12z made that shift for CG. Snowstorm for Chicago Feb 3rd. Plenty of time to lock that in..or change.

lmao schools closed again in many counties again for tomorrow. Temps yesterday were in the upper 40s and today in the low 50s. You can imagine with temps like that and the strong sun how much ice is left, not much. And tonight there will be no refreeze ,temps tonight will be in the mid and upper 30s.

A trajectory change of 150 miles isn't much in this time frame... Let's hope.

The schools sure seem overly paranoid here. They were closed today and have a 3 hour delay tomorrow, whereas they probably could have done fine with a 2 hour delay today and regular schedule tomorrow. It definitely made since to close school on Friday, though.

But I think every once in a while everyone will get on the roads at once (see January 2005, February 2014), creating a massive traffic jam, and the schools don't want a part of that.

Anyway, we still have a thin coating to inch of sleet on grass, while roads are clear but wet. Do you have anything left?

Remember (to the New York-focused media) the late January snowstorm that wasn't?

Blizzard of 2015 Brings 2 - 3' of Snow and Questions About Forecast Accuracy | Dr. Jeff Masters' WunderBlog

New York City was just off the edge of the storm. Reverse situation this time but similar-sized error, north edge of the storm went further north than expected
