  1. JFK had more snow than some parts of Maine that winter. and more snow than Binghamton.
  2. The real threat will be in the transition period, probably around January 20th. Historically, at least over the last decade or so, January 20th is around the time when we get our largest snow events of the season.
  3. What's the reason for these 3 days of high winds? Can the stronger northern stream actually make winds stronger at the surface too?
  4. This is pretty sad, I've also seen this when I was at the park in Babylon near the Babylon LIRR station.
  5. Oh, I've seen it myself and stopped to clean it up a little. This is what the ducks have to deal with.
  6. and those same arctic winds too the only thing we're missing is below zero cold lol.
  7. Kara Sea Block? I remember the storm near the Superbowl gave us like 4-6 inches.... I dont remember if that was the storm that caused the big crane crash in Manhattan though?
  8. There was that -1 on Valentines Day morning. Cold and dry..... sounds so familiar....
  9. Thanks I read that Pinatubo might also have had something to do with how cold and snowy 1993-94 and 1995-96 were. About solar, I wonder how much was known back in the early 90s about the influence of solar maxima on atmospheric ozone levels and ozone's connection to climate too. Not to be confused with ground level ozone of course which is a car exhaust NO2 byproduct and air pollutant.
  10. Now they just need to fix that 95.5 from near Cape May lol Oh wait, that's 7.9 and 5.5 right next to each other....there's extra spacing between the 7 and 9 which confused me.
  11. It would definitely be a memorable event, and all day snowstorm on a Saturday is ideal.
  12. Is that why 1989-90 was such a weird winter, with a historically cold December but very suppressed so not much snow for us and then it became historically warm in January and February, with monthly averages near 40 degrees after December's average was only 25 degrees? How often has December been the coldest month of the entire winter? And in that case it was by 15 degrees!
  13. Did you see that report of 22.5 inches from SW Delaware?
  14. even the 1 inch or so from yesterday's storm isn't going anywhere so it will be snow on top of snow.
  15. Thanks this will really help, in the last minute there was a really strong wind gust here!
  16. 100% correct and with regards to medicine, it doesn't help that our regulatory agencies are captured. (Drug company ads make me want to vomit.)
  17. Walt, there's a report of 22.5 inches of snow in SW Delaware ?! Walt, do you have a snowfall map for the area in the Poconos between Allentown and Mt Pocono? Thanks! I see a report of 1.0 inch here in SW Nassau.
  18. What I like about the late 80s and early 90s is we had a solar maximum in 1991 I think it was and 1990 and 1991 were, at the time, two of NYC's warmest years on record (22 out of 24 months above normal.) We have a solar maximum right now, I wonder how that has influenced this winter and the last 2 paltry winters we've had. I love the solar maximum for being able to see the Northern Lights for the first time in my life, but it's not that great for snowfall. Furthermore, there may be a lag effect meaning the next two winters may not be that good either.
  19. Interesting thing is a few days before the 20th we're predicted to have some of our coldest weather of the month with highs only in the 20s.
  20. February 1991 had that weird storm that no one predicted and gave us 9 inches of snow over 36 hours lol.
  21. The interesting thing I find about this period is that the very warm 2 year period 1990-1991 is usually blamed on a solar maximum (22 out of 24 months above normal at NYC.) We are now in the midst of a solar maximum, I wonder how much this is linked to the weather we have now. I saw Ray mentioned it in his long range forecast and said there is also a lag effect so the next two winters may also lack in the snowfall department.
  22. an excellent idea! I'd like to run some busts from the 80s and 90s into this and there is also the very famous January 1978 positive bust!
