    Does anybody rate '15-'16 highly? It was a one historic storm winter similar to '05-'06. Two very memorable storms though.

    SUN!!!! Oh how I missed you, you beautiful yellow thing.
  3. kat5hurricane
    Yep haha. You've been through here before?

    About 2" here, sticking everywhere but the main roads. More than I thought we'd get in northeast Queens.

    Flizzard. Hours and hours of flurries

    The meltdowns over a storm that was never a big deal in the first place.
  8. kat5hurricane
    It's a pile of cement around my way so with the 1-2 inches of fluff tomorrow and cold this weekend, it'll stick around for a while.

    For sure but it usually doesn't sniff out the warm layer until we get really close to the event. Regardless, this is a light snow event. We should enjoy it before the inevitable warmup fires up again.

    When has the Nam ever been ON its rocker? This was always a 1-3 inch deal for most of us.

    Yes, as does the great winters of '95-'96 and '10-'11 but I wouldn't call those the norm. Even in the snow drought of the 80s and 90s, we had less than 10 inches only 2 years out of 20 and these are Central Park measurements where the least snow is usually found in the metro area outside of segments of the south shore. Multiple snow events at minimum are common just about every year. That has not been the case the last 2 winters. General point, and I'm sorry for derailing this thread, is that NYC doesn't need a miracle to snow unless you're specifying that statement to 10+ inch events.

    No, the last 2 winters is not the norm. I grew up in the late 80s and 90s and never experienced back to back winters like this. The snow drought we've been through is unprecedented and now we have people (even a meteorologist mind you) saying that it normally takes a miracle to get snow around here. Lets gain some perspective, what we've seen the last 2 years is not the norm. Even in bad years, we usually still get double digits.

    This just isn't true. If getting any snow was ALWAYS a miracle then NYC would average less than 10 inches a year. If you want to talk KUs then I agree but I think it's quite a stretch to say that getting any snow in NYC is a miracle when it's averaged almost 30 inches a year for a century. I would agree that this is a marginal area for snow and it's tough to get all snow events but it's not a snow desert around here generally. The last 2 winters have fooled people into thinking this is the norm just like 2000-2018 did in the opposite direction.

    NYC averages 25-30 inches a year. This isn't Atlanta. What we've seen the last few winters is NOT the normal outcome.
  15. kat5hurricane
    Raining hard here now. There's going to be some serious black ice issues tomorrow when all these puddles freeze
  16. kat5hurricane
    Freezing rain. Car is glazed, wet and gross out there.
  17. kat5hurricane
    Light snow, it's like a Snow Globe out there. I'm about to take the dog out for a walk in about 15 minutes to revel in it.
  18. kat5hurricane
    Flurries just commenced in Whitestone.
  19. kat5hurricane
    I think this could be a bit of an overperformer just based on precedent. I've seen many times with these smaller events when the models beef up a bit at the last minute especially in a widespread event like this and the higher end totals verify. Of course there's a ceiling to this but I wouldn't be surprised to see some 4-5" totals somewhere.
  20. kat5hurricane
    Meh is a massive upgrade from what we've had the last few years. It's all about perspective.
  21. kat5hurricane
    Winter '14-'15 lite at least for one week.
  22. kat5hurricane
    Light snow and winds really whipping it around. It's pretty much white rain but considering these last 2 winters from hell, we take.
  23. kat5hurricane
    Not too far from LaGuardia, in Bayside right now, and the winds are shaking my car. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some 50+ mph gusts mixed in there. Seems windier than the last more hyped system.
  24. kat5hurricane
    Throwing in the towel on a storm 4-5 days from now based on 18z runs and the nam is the peak of Weenieism.
  25. kat5hurricane
    Just a conventional run of the mill squall line in the middle of January. Happy 21st Birthday btw
