Reply to comment by _Maxolotl in NYC Weather: Here’s Why We Haven’t Seen Snow This Winterwfall Yet? by FrankBeamer_

I’ve said this before.

Snow accumulation before the new year is atypical for NYC. Like a handful of times my entire life and most of those were a dusting.

We’re 12 days into the new year. Declaring the year snow free is like declaring the game over bottom of the first inning. There’s a lot of pitches to be thrown still.

We could still have a long miserable winter of 20 snow storms. I’d guess not given weather patterns. It’s been relatively dry. But it’s hardly over.

People are insane when they think NYC normally has snow around thanksgiving. That would be exceptional.

It says in the article the average snowfall up to this point this season is 7.4 inches. Central Park has received 0 inches. This is abnormal.

Idk I’ve only lived here for about 5 years and it’s happened at least twice before new years. 2018 had that big unexpected snowstorm in November, and last year there was a good amount of snow a week before Christmas. I don’t remember other years, but I’m sure it’s happened more than a handful of times in your life.
