we are now in The Twilight Zone airport measurements are by amateurs and climate change in the colloquial sense -- SAY WHAT??
-
damn fly on the cake. it does look like the real rain is going both south and north of us and the heaviest rain will be after midnight. you can be damn sure if it we were cold enough to get snow, this would have been a virga storm. By the way, January should not have 31 days (February should have more days to even out the months.) The first four months should have 30 days each. -
and December 1989 Don?
-
actually we did, one in December and one in January. Central Park measurements are inaccurate, so go by the airports. Both LGA and JFK have had 2 such storms.
-
that first one was such a busted forecast, we were supposed to get 6-8 inches. Atlantic City got 19 inches we just got overcast skies. in la ninas with a southeast ridge you don't expect a virga storm.
-
much better than boring suppression that's for sure.
-
a back and forth pattern can do this
-
that's not climate change after 2021 lol, otherwise you have to blame everything on climate change. How did the gulf coast get snow this winter (as an example).
-
Yes, it's actually extremely rare to get shut out in February. You could have 2 inches of snow at night and 50s during the day pretty easily. Get that twice in the month and you have your 4 inches.
-
Yes, not in a few years. Those storms are some kind of magic.
-
we're talking about 2010s not 1910s, the climate doesn't change that quickly.
-
it makes no sense to say *no chance of snow* in the heart of winter, it's stupid, you can get snow in ANY pattern. Maybe not heavy snow, but accumulating snow can happen in ANY pattern in the middle of winter.
-
there is no need, we're talking about what's happened in past winters, in the heart of winter, you can have 60 one day, snow the next day and then back to 60 the day after. You don't need it to be a cold month to snow.
-
This is why we need to get rid of concrete and greenify the city. I hate densely populated areas anyway, all it results in is faster spread of disease and more dirtiness.
-
You should research February 2018, it was a lot warmer than this month is going to be and we still had a 5 inch snowstorm.
-
I'm looking at temps in the 50s-60s, a short cool down that lasts 2-3 days with a snow event, and then back to the 50s-60s.
-
hopefully warm enough to bring the storm track closer to us. This might mean more snow in February than we got in January. That would be a win.
-
why can't we ever have enough cold to have cold on -BOTH- sides of the pole? Has anyone ever thought about THAT?
-
I've been using the 1989-90 analog for a month now lol. But believe it or not in this era of climate change, there is no way FM will be as warm as JFM were in 1990. I would like to know what caused that early April snowfall event in 1990 after it was in the mid 80s for 3 straight days in middle March. Was that the result of an SSW in 1990?
-
They influence the outcome already by having all those artificial lights on around the rodent.
-
it can wait for February 1st. Although I will say I hate the way the calendar is arranged just based on math. There is absolutely no reason for February to only have 28 days. I would have given February one day each from January and from March and that would make the calendar much more symmetrical, with January, February, March and April each with 30 days (31 in February for leap year if you want). January 31st should not exist.
-
Because any history is still history, it keeps things interesting. I dont care about dryness, we've had decades of flooding and overly rainy patterns, now we're going back to what our climate should be. Minus the above normal temps.
-
I didn't know there were betting markets for snow..... It makes sense though 3" would get NYC to close to 9 inches and that will likely be it for the season.
