Let's see what the EURO says...

climate change ice cover is much less now then it was in the mid 1980;s..as sherlock holmes would say it is quite elementary...

???

WWA for freezing rain tomorrow.

Happy New Year, everyone! May we all get buried in 20" of snow next Friday!

The CFS occasionally has runs inside 30 days where it nails the pattern but the last year or so its been bad even inside of 30 days

-50C in alabama? Not even Antarctica gets that cold.

Zero percent chance any of this verifies, but.... WOW. What a map!

how does early January look as far as temps and precip?

I am hopeful that this won’t be a relatively snowless winter, but the recent push by the AO to strongly positive levels as typically preceded winters with below to much below normal snowfall. 

How many winters in Central Park have been 10" or below following a 39"+ winter?

December 11, 1966 was the day we finally received the first full disk image of Earth. What we take for granted today, what we see every day... before this, we had never seen Earth from orbit. Can you imagine being alive back then and seeing our planet earth for the first time? Only 55 years ago.

Whoa!

whats the difference between asperatus and mammatus? I thought mammatus were tornado clouds?  I remember seeing them in November 1989......

we were at high school and were told to go outside onto the football field and I saw clouds that hung down like sacs from the sky, they looked like they were spinning too...multiple spinning vortices in the sky and the wind was blowing so hard we could barely open the door

 

 

Mammatus are not tornado clouds. The only "tornado cloud" that I know of is a wall cloud.

How do the 12z GFS and EURO look?

A sub 965 low sitting right off of our coast in January would get some people very excited around here. Being November, less so, but still interesting to follow nonetheless.

4 tornadoes in CT in a November. Amazing.

LA Ninas are notorious for early starts to winter and then a warmup in the 2nd half. Let's hope we get blocking this winter.

Maybe, but our long term patterns show getting a late start to winter, and having prolonging cold in the Spring. 40 degrees and rain in May is getting old.

Please no Halloween storm....

80s for Halloween? Spooky!

36 years ago, Hurricane Gloria hit Long Island.

Any truth to the rumors that NYC would be wiped out if that volcano goes off in the canary islands?

Central Park hit 40" last winter? I don't know of too many following winters where Central Park doesn't hit 40" again. In fact, I think the majority of winters where Central Park has hit 40" following a year where Central Park did not hit 40", i.e. 2019 - 2020, the following year Central Park hits 40" again. The question is what happens the year after. Wet autumns produce wet winters. 

Does anyone realize that the March 2001 curse has been broken? Usually when that is brought up, a bust is in store for our area, or if one isn't and someone brings it up, a bust occurs. March 2001 was brought up the other day. We did not bust. The 20-year curse has been broken.

How many issues did the subway have because of Sandy? Why are once in 1,000 year events happening almost every year?

Waterspout just south of LI!
