as a matter of fact I remember you were the one who was amazed in that snowicane storm in February 2010 and said wow we're getting blizzard conditions on a southerly wind, now I've seen it all lol. -
how cold are the SST? we're at the time of year when an onshore flow shouldn't matter so much..... February has been known to give us snowstorms even on a southerly wind (see the last storm in February 2010.)
-
yeah no one really cares about snowcover in urban areas, it's a nuisance. we just want to see snow falling from the sky. forget March, you can get snow sticking during the day in April too
-
it has happened before several times see December 1989 as one infamous example that was even more extreme.
-
there's no such thing as luck bro, this has happened before and will happen again, it's because of the fast pacific jet and we're just in a very dry pattern and have been for months.
-
the waters of the gulf were excessively warm thats why they got those extreme snowfall totals
-
and like the NWS themselves said, there's been more snow this January than the last two Januarys combined. People just need to reassess what they consider snowy, 3 inches of snow in a month is actually pretty good now.
-
I think 3-5 inches of snow in February is way more likely than a 0.1 inch of ZR
-
If anything it's the latter part of February where we'll have our best chances of getting snow. The pattern will likely completely breakdown into spring in March. It never happens in February, because in this month you can easily go from 60 one day to snow the next day-- seen it a million times. There's a chance that NYC could double its snowfall totals in a late February storm, similar to February 2008.
-
coastal areas don't get much ZR probably wet snow or rain
-
Snowman should be happy to hear this, he has been talking about the big ridge for February.
-
if it's like February 2008 as some have been talking about, we will get at least one decent event and it will be in the latter part of the month.
-
no snow at all would also be a surprise, that's the point
-
4 rainers before the 10th? ugh
-
Thanks, at least this gives a target to shoot for. Anything before the 10th is gravy, but we could still get a couple of minor events before then. Minor meaning about an inch or less.
-
Make it within 48 hours
-
all snow, no snow to ice for us? :-)
-
record low precip for EWR, Tony?
-
1951 - The greatest ice storm of record in the U.S. produced glaze up to four inches thick from Texas to Pennsylvania causing twenty-five deaths, 500 serious injuries, and 100 million dollars damage. Tennessee was hardest hit by the storm. Communications and utilities were interrupted for a week to ten days. (David Ludlum) Was this ice or snow for us, Tony?
-
major impacts from Pinatubo perhaps
-
far better in the sense of what happened in February in January we had a heavy snow warning that never panned out. Just a covering of snow in that one.
-
is he talking about DC?
-
a few times of 4 inches of snow to rain multiple times is how we stack up totals at the coast.
-
yes snow to rain is our normal climate at the coast.
