I just dot understand why they make such a short period of time (last 30 years) the 'long time average'. Over time that will constantly make the long term average a moving target, when it should be nearly stationary. All that time period is picking up is a piece of a cycle. 

 

The 70-00 average was like 22"

The 90-20 average could be 32"

 

While the real answer is 29" (largest amount of data you have)

Well, for one thing, comparatively, each city has a different period of record, so if you compare one city's full period-of-record average to another, you aren't comparing apples to apples.

12z Euro comes pretty darn close to producing my big time storm for us next Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.

 

988 mb just south of Eastern Long Island at 192 hrs. 

 

Deepens it to 972 mb over Cape Cod at 198 hrs.  

 

There you go.

 

Major effects miss us just to the east, but anyway...

 

Over 1 inch qpf in most locations.

 

Major blizzard for New England, Connecticut, Eastern Long Island.

 

Deepens to 956 mb in the Gulf of Maine at 204 hrs. with wrap around all the way down to eastern Long Island.

We get destroyed at hour 192 :pimp:

 

I think this is applicable to this month, as far as snow.

 

A wise man once told me:

 

Fool me once, shame on you.

 

Fool me twice, shame on me.

 

Fool me three times, shame on Metfan.

 

He actually said that.  I don't know how he knew Anthony, but it blew my mind.

0-4 this month. Don't feel like going 0-5. :cry:

No, that is total BS!  That is snow.  Ground temps are above freezing taken verbatim, but upper air temps are good.

 

Ground temps are 32-33 degrees at those specific 6 hour increments.

I bet in between hours 186 and 192, the surface temps are well below 32 under the heavy bands of snow.

 

But that is way too much detail for a day 8 storm.

It could always miss us, but even the storm that so called missed us to the north, was still a hell of a storm.  We had 50 mph wind gusts with that one that killed a guy in Hopatcong when a tree fell on his home.  Just because it does not snow in our backyard does not mean that a storm did not happen.
