  1. These cycles (and periodic mass extinctions) are determined by the sun's orbit around the center of the Milky Way.
  2. There's a reason why 6" storms are much more rare than 4" storms. Come to think of it, 4" storms have become pretty rare now too.
  3. why are the SSTs still so darned warm? Still in the 40s? This is midwinter and with a winter thats been solidly below normal to near normal you'd expect SSTs to be in the mid 30s here by now. Even ACY averages SST around 37 this time of year.
  4. why are the SSTs still so darned warm? Someone said they are still in the 40s? This is midwinter and with a winter thats been solidly below normal to near normal you'd expect SSTs to be in the mid 30s here by now. Even ACY averages SST around 37 this time of year.
  5. tell me about it, here on Long Island they wouldn't even close schools for 4-6 inches of snow with heavy snow falling during the morning rush.
  6. Since 1950, just 1 of 18 (6%) of storms with an NAO of +0.900 or above saw 6" or more snow in New York City. That storm occurred with an AO of -1.769. Don, which storm was this? Was it in February 1994?
  7. The entertainment was well worth it.
  8. Here is the funny irony, like two weeks ago in the enso thread Snowman said that this season reminded him of 2010-11 a lot, but he said that in reference to how winter ended as soon as February began. So he may be right about it being like 2010-11 but for the wrong reason.
  9. what was wrong with how it was in the old days when we just had one big thread for doing model pbp for all the storms? It was awesome, like reading a big mystery novel. I guess people don't like to read books anymore. Separating everything into 3 or 4 threads just makes everything seem disjointed.
  10. Hey there's a positive side to all this.....
  11. I hate when people diss parrots in this way, parrots have an extremely high level of intelligence, easily higher than most people in this forum.
  12. this is more than one storm though, some will trend north, others will trend south.
  13. wow still 16-21 for our area. and this is the ensembles mean, not even an individual run.
  14. it doesn't matter, It's February so sun angle isn't an issue. I like watching the snow fall so I'd like to see it fall during the day time. Can't see it when it's dark outside (streetlights only show a very narrow area, not satisfactory.) Heaviest snowfall rate 8 am to 9 am is ideal for me.
  15. That was wild to see, 70% on the first one and 60% for the second here on the south shore. What's the difference between the two maps anyway, is the first one the Euro and the second one the GFS?
  16. up to 9 weenies now, will you hit double digits lol? I do agree that things were much better when we had one thread for models. For observations individual threads are okay but when just model info is being posted, why not just keep it to one thread?
  17. 2014 and 2015 back to back were pretty great!!
  18. Look at 1920 up there. February 1920 might have been our most anomalous storm of all time, even beyond March 1888 !
  19. I think it's interesting because where we reside on the east coast, typically we don't jackpot in any scenario, we get the northern edge of storms that hit the DelMarVa and the southern edge of the storms that hit New England. Winters and storms where we get the most snow are very rare. You can see this reflected in the number of 20 inch snowstorms-- both Baltimore and Boston have had more 20 inch snowstorms than NYC has had.
