    This congestion pricing thing really sucks. I don't drive into the city more than once a month, but my sympathies are with anyone who has to go through this daily. Not only that, but the MTA also hiked tolls and fares. Maybe they want NYC to become a ghost town....

    the late 80s to early 90s though could be a good match for what we have now. 1988-89, 1989-90, 1990-91, 1991-92 four winters that didn't have much snow although there was a positive bust in there when we got like 9 inches of snow in a 36 hour February snowstorm lol.

    Both of those were historic. I was in the Poconos for the May 2020 event and there was 2-4 inches of snow there and it snowed all night Saturday night and almost all day Sunday with wind chills near 0 and lows in the teens and highs in the 20s. And then Monday we had thunderstorms with hail there! Brought back memories of May 1977! October 2011 had thundersnow and 20 inches of a very wet snow in the Poconos!

    I understand. High fluff may actually work in this case because of the extended cold period we've been in. The other scenario I often see 1-3 inches being forecast is during a mix or changeover scenario. There seems to be an imprecise nature to timing when mixing or changing over will occur and/or they are forecasting for a county in which one part of the county will change over before a different part will. Other forecasts along those lines that I find really annoying are 4-8 and 6-12.

    and yet 1-3 is the most common forecast we get around here. Ranges don't work like that though. A forecast of 1-3 is really a forecast for 2" with a margin of error of +/- 1". The moisture content difference between 1" and 3" is only 0.2"

    Too bad we didn't get an October snowfall lol, October 1979 saw a surprise October snowfall all the way down to DC.

    JFK might beat those numbers, my house just shook with our latest wind gust, Walt!
  8. LibertyBell
    Wow, JFK hit -2 at three different points that morning, including as late as 9 AM! That 10 degree *high* from 7 PM to 10 PM would have really annoyed me lol, the real high was less than that, during the day. Do you know of the last time JFK officially had a low below zero and a high below 10? What was the lowest wind chill that morning with winds of 30 mph gusting to 40 mph and was that the lowest wind chill ever recorded at JFK? Thanks!

    That 1985 arctic outbreak was even more extreme than the one in 1994. Didn't NYC have this long streak without any 6" events during the 80s? It barely ended with a 6.2" event in the early 90s in March I think? But it was a mix storm and JFK's streak without 6" events continued... Chris do you know offhand what the longest streaks without a 6" storm were at both NYC and JFK?

    Just talking about January specifically.
  11. LibertyBell
    I wish we could get lake effect snow here off of West Hempstead Lake lol. What's the smallest lake that lake effect snow has been known to occur near?
  12. LibertyBell
    Do you have final totals for the Cape May to Atlantic City area? Thanks!
  13. LibertyBell
    2016 was the last time we had a megalopolis snowstorm, wow. 9 years ago.
  14. LibertyBell
    Walt it sounds like you feel it might be just a little too mild for significant snowfall for NYC, Long Island, etc, post January 20th?
  15. LibertyBell
    such a reminder of what Januarys in the 80s were like. `1. a little snow and ice on the ground, just enough to make you slip and fall. 2. temperatures below freezing all day. 3. very windy and extreme wind chills.
  16. LibertyBell
    I doubt anyone will be unhappy if we get 1-3, any snow is good snow.
  17. LibertyBell
    you got 3 sausages for this post for some odd reason.
  18. LibertyBell
    It seems like it snows more often in milder patterns than in colder patterns. For some reason snow is more likely when it's in the 50s a few days before and after a snowstorm, but when you have a week of temperatures in the 20s and low 30s then snow is much less likely. Go figure.
  19. LibertyBell
    as long as it's sunny and warm, not rainy and warm
  20. LibertyBell
    really no different than any of the other storms so far this winter. 4 inches might be a bit too high, but 1-3 inches sounds about right. It has the potential to be as good as our best December storm which dropped 3 inches here.
  21. LibertyBell
    It may not be final with more snow moving in with the ULL, Don.
  22. LibertyBell
    Somehow I see the same mistakes being made if that storm recurred in current times.

    Did January 1996 use today's measurement practices though? It was undermeasured.
  24. LibertyBell
    The Central Park measurer wasn't any good back then either.
  25. LibertyBell
    January 1996 was also undermeasured. I was in the same location for January 1996 and PD2 and PD2 was 26 inches at JFK, January 1996 was in no way shape or form only 22 inches. And February 1978 was in no way shape or form only 14 inches but that's a different story.
