I totally agree. That said, if the options are either
1. Sunny frozen tundra
2. Eternal overcast and 40s
I will take what's behind door 1 everytime
we're really just gonna be stuck with this pattern for the next decade huh

Had impressive snowfall rates and wind over the last hour on Long Island. We have unfortunately now switched over to sleet.

Goddamn it was a cold night in Upststate NY. The NYSM Philadelphia site got down to -37.6°F!
This is 1.7°F short of the network minimum temperature (39.3°F, also set by PHIL)

First aurora of 2026 didn't quite reach its potential, but still had a fun night out. I also captured two great horned howls on the barn in the foreground. What a hoot.

So far, it has been a pretty snowy winter at KISP. As of 1/2/26, the running total snowfall for this season is 12.9". This is exceeds the seasonal total snowfall from each of the last 3 winters!

Quite the moisture gradient advecting across eastern NY this afternoon. I look forward to not living inside of a cloud.

The NYS Mesonet's anemometer at Buffalo Harbor State Park is getting absolutely walloped. During the last 2 hours, every 5-min observation period has had a wind gust over 60mph. So far, the peak gust is 72mph.

It's pretty obvious by my top 10 gusts that I did not really use my anemometer very much between 2022-2024.

These wind gusts were very different experiences.
During the 7/3 event, I was in an intense downdraft which allowed for me to actually see the wind while hunkering down in the car.
Yesterday, on the other hand, I was standing outside and the footage was visually underwhelming.
Pretty insane coincidence, I tied my all time recorded wind gust to the tenth of a mph yesterday (66.2 mph).
Both of these happened this year (partially because I have been making an effort to actually use my anemometer more and partially dumb luck).
Oh shi

NWS New York currently has the CWA under a Wind Advisory, with forecast gusts on the upper end of WA criteria.
I may be wishcasting a little bit here (I definitely am), but I have a feeling this might end up having a little more bite than folks are expecting.
Hard to say whether or not the HRRR is handling these surface temps properly. It’s possible this is much too warm, especially given the added complexity of a lingering snow pack.
Regardless, any downdrafts tomorrow will have the potential to mix down some pretty nasty wind gusts.
This of course will come down to low-level stability.
Cool SSTs mean the immediate coastal regions will sport a pretty mean inversion. Places slightly inland + higher elevation may not be so aggressively stable.
The HRRR depicts surface temps in the mid 55s over central LI at 10am.
Looks like the system affecting the northeast tomorrow will have a pretty intense low level jet. The 18z HRRR depicts 925mb winds of 85-90kt in the jet core. The big question is: how much of this wind will actually affect the surface…
