Thank God I didn't have to live through the shifty 80s, being 0-4 i have zero memory of anything from then. Pretty much just 2000 and beyond

You're doin better than Joe i think he forgot Jan 26 already. I guess 4"/hr was a bit conservative. That seems almost unbelievable I've heard of 7-8"/hr but damn

Not going to happen. The first half of March is really the latest it could get potentially snowy. By the time you get to the 2nd half of March, the sun angle is too high. Yes, you could still get a snowstorm in the second half of March (like in 1958 or 2018), but you need a lot of things to come together. Besides, in 1958 and 2018, you had snow events leading up to the big second half of March snowstorm. If we don't get a snow event in the 2nd half of February, it just might not happen. Winter doesn't magically return in the 2nd half of March.

That must have been a freakin' blast!

Today's split EWR: 37 / 30 (-0) NYC: 36 / 29 (-2)

I recall that mid-march '84 storm, freshman year of high school, was the last time we got out of class due to snow. Couldn't buy a day off for the rest of my high school career. Zip, nada, nothing.

It looks so easy!

Let's just change the name of the thread to Presidents' Day. At least we know that will actually happen. Closing the thread entirely isn't a terrible option either.

When sun angle isn’t even mentioned in mid February, you know the outlook sucks

I think DCA just finished 9th longest

The piles are just amazing. Never seen anything like it but of course this’ll happen when you’re shoveling every day.

Fire up a thread.

I was looking back through old photos and I found a screenshot of a Euro run four days out from that storm. It had a foot here. Actual total: 0.5". Typical.

My God

Pretty sure I’d dominate the super G downhill in the Olympics. I wouldn’t crash or kill myself

We need a storm…rain or snow.

Nam tried hard, but needs to be wound tighter.

QBO information, near real-time The Quasi-biennial Oscillation (QBO) January 2026 was the 2nd lowest 30mb QBO Jan on record, 2015 was number 1: cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/data/indices/qbo.u30.index It will likely reverse to +QBO for Winter 26-27. It has a cold season Stratosphere polar vortex correlation, stronger stratosphere polar vortex is +QBO, weaker SPV is -QBO.

This happens in the threads where we don't verify income and offshore assets.

The 18z GFS(and GFS in general) has been trying to cook something up. As we approach shoulder season, it is a vastly more competitive as a model.

Exactly. Some winters you know its over by the 3rd week in January. This has been steady -AO and ridging in the NAO....and those ingredients are exactly what lead to late surprises and long cold dreary March and early Aprils.

Fantastic Event Memory; Dang!!

Problem though was that they stayed over the same areas all winter. Nice to finally see clippers again, but maybe next time we can spread them out a little more lol.

Sorry, it was that bad? I 'm glad you're on your way. Having VVS never makes things any less complicated.

Has anyone mentioned sun angle yet? Because she’s here .
