mmm -4ºC in NYC. Temps rising too fast ¿subzero streak in danger tomorrow?
I have a dilemma.. Do I want the big coastal storm to stay farther away to ensure NYC continues to streak but I get less snow, or closer so I get more snow but risk the NYC streak ending.. Dilemma. lol

I saw some mixed metars on my map, thanks for confirming!

Actually, there were some sun peeks last Friday and Saturday. There were quite some hours of sunshine during New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day was mostly sunny.
So many interesting stats being generated from all this. I agree, in a way I want to storm to stay further out to sea so we can keep this streak going. That storm seems like the only thing that would ruin it. Wonder how many other years a coastal storm ruined a streak
trying to hold off making too many stats comparison till more of the cold happens. This weekend obviously the most extreme and will make or break this cold spell stats-wise

I did and wanted to look more into it.. Here was the Upper Height pattern on Jan 23, 1961...
thanks for pulling up the map, does that look like an exceptionally cold pattern for New England to you? Or not really enough info? Overnight lows depend on the entire vertical profile and wind (has the ground been cold for a while, snow?)
And that’s one of the big reasons why the NE and Midwest is bleeding population while the SW and FL are gaining. Most people don’t like cold (and the snow and ice) but you wouldn’t know it from the cold-loving nutcases here on the CD weather forum.
Who cares? Florida is still gross and its full of lizards. Also, we're not bleeding population up here. If anything we got too many people.
100 dry heat is much easier to deal with. You just need an AC. No need to shovel snow or worry about driving.
I shovelled snow once this entire winter and that was by choice. I could have not shovelled anything and it wouldn't make a difference. I'm sorry but why would I need to shovel when there's barely 5 inches outside? Are you like that weird neighbour I have that uses his snowblower before the snow even accumulates? Lol.
