I do remember, many moons ago, there was a temperature criteria of 20° or below. I know that has not been in place for a long time.

There have been 68, 10 inch or greater snowstorms in NYC. The 10 day periods and how many occurred during each period are listed below. Quite a drop-off after Feb 18th. No. 10 Day Period 1 Nov 21-30 1 Dec 1-10 5 Dec 11-20 7 Dec 21-30 3 Dec 31-Jan 9 3 Jan 10-Jan 19 11 Jan 20- Jan 29 10 Jan 30-Feb 8 12 Feb 9-Feb 18 4 Feb 19-Feb 28 4 Feb 29-Mar 10 4 Mar 11-Mar 20 1 Mar 21-Mar 30 1 Mar 31- Apr 9 1 Apr 10- Apr 19 68 Total

Why would Virginia Beach be cold enough for this to be all snow? Hopefully just the long range NAM F'n with us.

32 inches in Virginia Beach ? Yeah I'm not going to take that run serious. It will however keep me up for at least another hour.

You will be missed.

Tough love. You will thank me one day.

I'm thinking we can probably put this thread to rest by the 0Z runs tonight. Maybe change the name then to follow the Norlun. Forget the models, I'm still shocked that whethergeek2025 may have gotten this one totally wrong.

Can't really depend on 70 degree days until mid May. Even then some years it's difficult.

To each his own but I never understand why everyone is so anxious to close out winter in February.

Wouldn't some of that be liquid down there?

To summarize keep expectations for a major snowfall (6 inches or more) low because right now the probability is low, subject of course to change in the next 24 hours.

This thing died out for almost everyone in upstate NY and New England. Hope the Friday event doesn't for their sake. Looks like we're a hair too south in HV for significant Friday snow.

They do it all the time. No jinx, even the weather Gods have learned to ignore it.

Typical NY Post

Thanks been there and like it a lot. Actually tonight eating at Cantina across the street.

But not 35 inches like the GFS is showing.

More reasonable to dismiss it. At least for there.

So you're questioning the southern Delmarva getting 35 inches from this storm? It seems reasonable.

Define snowstorm?

In Saratoga Springs today and tomorrow. They had WWA yesterday for 2-6 here today. I haven't seen a flake yet. They're suppose to get 5-8 here Friday but I'll already be gone and doubting we see any snow Friday or Sunday back in Orange County. Just can't win this month.

Saratoga Springs NY 35 and nothing happening. WWA yesterday for 2-6. I haven't seen any of those 2-6 flakes yet.

Down at the southern end of the forum where you are, odds are in your favor for this one. For those of us north of the forums mason dixon line a tougher road to make this work.

Yes a lot. You get too caught up in a couple of operational runs and pretty snow maps. There's so much more to forecasting than that. Talk less and listen more and some day you may be a positive force contribution wise here.

Not a good start.

There's 39 total, 12 inch or greater storms in Central Park and 8 from Mid February (15th) through March. The most recent is is Feb 25 2010 20.9 inches that you noted, Feb 19, 1979 12.7 inches, Feb 20, 1921 12.5 inches and 5 in March. Not as many as I thought there would be so it does show how difficult it is for the City to get a blockbuster this time of year.
