  1. I would rank 1982-83 as a hell of a lot better than this winter, a big 22" HECS and the latest accumulating snowfall on record at JFK 2" on April 20th.
  2. we did very well on the south shore too, Chris! question, that says it's the second strongest jet stream winds-- when did we have our strongest?
  3. the cold and wind not so much....
  4. many days in the 40s with sunshine is just fine.
  5. we have too much uncontrolled growth that needs to be removed. We never had these kinds of fires in 2002 the last dry year we had. It's been abnormally wet for decades now and that overgrowth needs to be chopped down and removed. I think we are regressing back to a more normal rainfall pattern for us which is 40 inches per year and under 4 inches per month.
  6. Looks like we will be 45+ for many days in a row, any cold will be brief.
  7. My favorite kind of snow is this, where no shoveling is involved at all, it's a very cold and dry snow and the wind just blows it to the side lol. Did I tell you I never had to shovel in our last big snowstorm here, January 2022? A foot of snow fell but the wind blew it off my car and out of my driveway and no shoveling at all was needed!
  8. what time did it start out by you? it was so frustrating seeing it snowing on radar here, 4 pm, 5 pm, 5:30 pm, etc, and even seeing it snowing on webcams in Manhattan as early as 4 pm but the snow didn't make it down to the ground here until after 6 pm. But been snowing nicely since then and sticking to everything and it's very windy too.
  9. It took a long time to move east into Long Island, but glad it finally did. Our roads are covered with snow plus it's windy outside. Didn't see snow here until after sunset even though radar returns showed snow here at 4 PM, 5 PM, 6 PM, etc., it must have been virga earlier.
  10. Don how much snow did Norfolk get in 09-10? Those 2 years back to back were their last snowy period. Maybe this year is the start of another snowy period for them (and eventually for us)?
  11. 1992 and 2017 stand out, most people know what happened in March 2017 and we discussed March 1992 before, it was a mostly snowless winter with two events near the beginning of springtime. March 1980 makes the cut too, but it had a smaller event.
  12. 1966 was a summer like this, as were 1993 and 1999 and 2002, more recently so was 2010. Not the high dew point summers of the 2020s ick.
  13. it has to be dry and then cool at night, which is great for sleeping. Hot and dry during the day makes you feel extra energized and then cool at night is great for deep sleep
  14. January 2018 was both much colder and snowier here actually.
  15. the dryness is a national pattern too, I foresee more warm and dry and hot and dry because the prevailing wind direction has been westerly for many months now, we have had two historically dry months here (October and January) and one month with zero precip (October)
  16. Is this something where it could dry up as it comes east of the mountains? I've seen that scenario plenty of times.
  17. Do these models come with a margin of error? I'm serious, is it like 0.5-1 inch plus or minus 0.5 inch?
  18. its good for now, but when we get to summer I love higher temps during the day and lower temps at night. the predominantly westerly wind will help accomplish that
  19. transient cold only? That's what Lee Goldberg was saying last night, he said the big pattern change starting next week is that we will go from the arctic cold of winter to springtime transient cold shots only
