what happened to those bowling ball systems that used to go straight west to east without cutting to the northeast?  We used to get a few of those every winter, they usually exited the coast around the Virginia Capes and they were dependable for 4-6 inches of snow.

3 years of La Niña is what happened.

Just out of curiosity, a senior white house official states that the objects shot down over the past few days are weather balloons. This is unconfirmed, but it's interesting. Why would the US sound F-16s to shoot down weather balloons? Are there octagonal shaped weather balloons? If this isn't allowed, please delete.

moderate el nino is better here than weak el nino but again enso doesn't influence our weather as much as some people think

and moderate la nina is better than neutral anyway lol

 

What's so bad about a strong nino?

Bring on the warmth!

Is there an analog as to how Chinese “weather balloons” impact our weather?

Heavy Freezing Spray Advisory. That's a new one for me.

70 degrees on Valentines Day and probably 30 degrees on Easter. We're going to be in for a cold, miserable Spring again...

What time is it supposed to start snowing?

That 18z GFS for next weekend tho....

Maybe north and west does ok?

Wait, this was giving us 2 feet of snow yesterday. Now, barely a trace?? 

Can someone explain what this is in simple terms?

Never, the latest in history was 1/29/73

Looks like we're going to break that record.

When was the last time NYC didn't even have an inch of snow as of February 1? 

Well, let's get this winter over with. If it's not going to snow, then let's get to an early spring!

I gotta say, with so little snowfall, it sure is cloudy out a lot. This has been one of the most depressing winters weather-wise.

Wow urban heating at its finest, what storm was that? 

March 2018

I don’t care how much or how little snow we get this winter…. As long as this never happens again.

Talk about coal in our stockings, even the 384 hour GFS doesn't bring a historic, crippling blizzard to the immediate NYC Metro Area! Bah humbug!

today will be the coldest  record low maximum all winter in nyc..

Followed by probably the warmest New Years Eve on record

It's definitely raining outside! Holy cow those must be big drops!

Curious: What was the pattern in December 2015, which lead to the January 2016 snowstorm?

NYC snowfall

2000 12 29 -4.688…13.4”

1995 12 19 -4.353…11.5”

1962 12 31 -4.159…4.5”

Don't forget 2010 with the boxing day blizzard.

how does the euro look?

I would take this in a heart beat. No holds barred. Beautiful first snow for the city. Helps get us into the Holiday mood.
