Refresher snow & obs between ~midnight and Noon Sat Feb 17 2024
Wannabehippie replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro
Here in Astoria the streets are clear, the sidewalks are mostly just wet, few spots of snow where it piled up more because it fell off of trees. Good snowball making snow. Packs real well. I am guessing 10 or 11:1 ratios. Temps hovered around 30 degrees all night, so we didn't get that real light fluffy snow you might get with temps in the 20's. -

The link to the full study that Don posted above is very interesting, once you get past some of the high level math that they discuss in it. -

I think this is the best place to post this article, and hear what everyone thinks about it. https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/09/climate/atlantic-circulation-collapse-weather-climate/index.html -
Been snowing lightly in Astoria since this AM. Not much is getting on the sidewalks and roads due to the rate of snowfall, plus all the salt that has been spread around. Grassy areas, and areas that had snow piled from the storm earlier this week are seeing accumulation, but not very much. The sun is even weakly showing thru the clouds at times.

I am going with the trend is your friend. The trend has been no snow for NYC and points east. I say no snow for the Tuesday event, other than maybe a coating, for NYC.

I need Tuesday event to be delayed, or be a minor event so I can get back in to LGA from Florida.

That is my thought as well. Get to 2 full years of no snow, then we can get some snow.- 3,610 replies

Temps above freezing throughout the storm on latest NAM12k 0z run, starting at 15z Saturday. It won't let me post the image, as it is "too big".- 3,610 replies

Maybe aloft as snow, but the soundings at the mid, low level are too warm IMHO.- 3,610 replies

Might be too late by then to get any real accumulation, unless it can come down real hard and fast in 2-3 hours.- 3,610 replies

I buy the Old Farmer's Almanac yearly. Mainly for the articles on gardening, etc. Some really interesting stuff in there. I treat the weather prediction part as entertainment. Fun to see how wrong they are, then follow up the following year when they claim an "80% accuracy".
