the real issue is that there is no real cold air around. when we had it in January the pattern was suppressed -
what is the reason for that weird wavy line that goes up and down? The nam has some interesting features lol
-
Was that the first 6" snowstorm in a few years? yes that March sun angle definitely did it, I remember a lot of melting during lulls. We had a similar storm around March 21, 1994 the last storm in that excellent winter, 4 inches all snow (just like the first storm that winter back around the winter solstice in December), but during lulls in intensity the snowcover would melt.
-
That 1992 storm gave 6 inches to NYC but less than 4 at JFK if I remember correctly, it kept going back and forth depending on ptype and we never had much snowdepth during that storm.

Listen, here's a real world consequence..... a lot of us live near airports. We've seen what' happened over the past week or so. We're worried.... and we have a reason to be. It doesn't matter which party or which person is in charge, certain standards and safety regulations should be permanently in place no matter what.
-
it's good to see the NOAA site is back up. Everyone is frustrated but the site going offline without warning is what set this off.
-
fighting about snowfall maps and rain/snow lines 3 days in advance are completely fine though ;-)
-
ah so not half an inch of ice. as far as WSW are concerned, I've seen them with forecast totals as low as 4-6.
-
watches can go to either advisories or warnings
-
For ice storm warnings I think it's half an inch of ice though not completely sure. There is no separate warning for sleet as the totals are integrated into snowfall totals. 2-3:1 ratio. WWA begins at 1 inch here. 3 inches of snow and 0.1 ice would be WWA (I think) BUT 4 inches of snow + some ice would be a WSW (I've seen WSW for 4-6 inches of snow before.) 4-6 inches is the minimum for WSW from what I've seen.

it sounds a lot like March 2010 (different enso phase but it describes the transition from February 2010 to March 2010 in the same way.)
-
even if this does happen there will be much melting in between. I don't see any kind of long sustained cold pattern like we had in January. Thats probably a good thing Highs in the 30s when it snows and highs in the 40s on the other days is just fine.
-
completely agree
-
this will likely go to a winter weather advisory for us, they already shaved an inch off the earlier projection of 3 inches for JFK
-
Some people also seem to be under the mistaken impression that whatever happens somehow won't affect them. But they are very very wrong. The sad irony is in their effort to handicap effective governance they are actually enabling authoritarianism. And don't even realize it.
-
maybe if we weren't meddling in parts of the world we have no business being in we wouldn't need a national security budget of that size.
-
I don't think anyone here is an idiot BUT Everyone could benefit by watching the movie Idiocracy. (see what I did there?)
-
The countries you mentioned at the top also have the most longevity, the highest literacy rates, the highest quality food and the best education and healthcare systems.
-
the phrma lobbyists have joined together with the hyper right wing..... if we could just get the public option in the ACA, we'd actually be closer to what the rest of the developed world has.
-
and Russia is an oligarchy. People think *communism* is the danger when the real danger isn't communism at all (it has never existed on this planet), it's oligarchy and always have been.
-
then we need to cap prices in many areas.... did you hear about the 22 yr old who died because he couldn't afford his asthma medication even though he had a $19/hr job, because the price was jacked up from 66 per month to 539 per month? Prices on asthma drugs are now capped at 35 per month but not in time to save his life. same old corrupt insurance company bullshit
-
on the other hand, those would just cause suppression
-
it's always the naive people who downplay everything
-
what would keep that drought from migrating east, Chris? aren't summers during la ninas usually extremely hot?
-
maybe we can use DeepSeek to make better snowmaps.
