and even in Central NY. I was wondering how an ice free Lake Erie and Lake Ontario would impact things.... and I believe that would actually increase the chances of cloudiness and rainfall/snowfall.

I wish this was the path of totality for the eclipse.... and that we had clear skies that day. Today would actually have been perfect for the eclipse.

negative nao are more likely in spring than winter

that's when his weekend begins.

Dont go by climate data from previous years, it's basically a coin flip what the weather will be like that day.

so glad it doesn't go out to April 8th lol

How much was the storm total at JFK, Chris? Was it right behind March 2010 there too? March 2010 was much windier though...

come on man, we'd all rather see the eclipse

But a month earlier than May means more chances of accumulation here?

it's looking bad for the eclipse isn't it?

for how long?

last april was really nice though, dry and warm and two days in the 90s

well that would be bad since there's a total solar eclipse on the 8th lol whats the 8th looking like up near Syracuse?

The next two nights may be our last freezing or below temperatures until next fall looking at the forecasts.

Right, I expected them all to be over 3" by the end of the storm. Do you think this is going to be our last freezing or below temperatures for the airports and the park tonight or tomorrow night?

I think they'll all be over 3" by the end of the storm.

yep, March 2010 and the great summer of 2010.... March 1993 and the great summer of 1993.....

Look up the amazing winter of 1783-84 which was entirely driven by a historic volcano in Iceland, Washington's army was stationed in Morristown NJ and they kept a weather diary that stated there was over 12 feet of snow that winter and a total of 30 snowstorms and it got so cold that the ink in their pens froze. A temperature of -16 was recorded in New York City that season in January which beats the official record of -15 in February 1934 by one degree.

if you know the history of JP Morgan and Chase, you know this comes as no surprise. Just remember they financed a pedophile.

wow 2013-14 really stands out is this the snowiest winter on record there or was there any winter when Detroit hit 100"? It's said NYC hit 100" just before records started being kept in the 1860s.

By the way I got this solar filter for the eclipse: https://www.amazon.com/product-reviews/B0CPXJP62Y/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_viewopt_fmt?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=five_star&reviewerType=all_reviews&formatType=current_format&pageNumber=1#reviews-filter-bar it reduces sunlight by 16.6 stops or 100,000x I was also considering this even darker filter that reduces sunlight by 20 stops or 1,000,000x, but the reviews say it's too dark. https://www.amazon.com/product-reviews/B0CRV8YLM8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_show_all?ie=UTF8&reviewerType=all_reviews&pageNumber=1#reviews-filter-bar

https://blogs.nasa.gov/Watch_the_Skies/2024/02/27/view-nova-explosion-new-star-in-northern-crown/ A star system, located 3,000 light-years away from Earth, is predicted to become visible to the unaided eye soon. This could be a once-in-a-lifetime viewing opportunity as the nova ouburst only occurs about every 80 years. T Coronae Borealis, or T CrB, last exploded in 1946 and astronomers believe it will do so again between February and September 2024.

a nova.... https://ktla.com/news/new-star-could-appear-in-night-sky-in-2024/ Astronomers are predicting a once-in-a-lifetime stargazing opportunity could appear in the northern hemisphere sometime in 2024 – a “new” star in the constellation Corona Borealis, KTLA sister station WBOY reports. The location of T Coronae Borealis (circled in red) (Wikimedia Commons by PopePompus – Creative Commons Attribution- … Being millions, if not billions of years old, the star “T Coronae Borealis” (T CrB) isn’t technically new. However, it will soon become visible to the naked eye for the first time in nearly 80 years. But what’s causing it to suddenly become as bright as the North Star? T CrB is what’s called a recurring nova and is actually a white dwarf in a binary, or two-star, system; its stellar partner is a much larger red giant. According to NASA, as the red giant becomes unstable, it begins to shed its outer layers, which are then sucked up by the gravity of the white dwarf. When T CrB gathers enough stellar material from its neighbor, it lets off a massive explosion, big enough for us to see it 3,000 light-years away here on Earth

I wonder why the high winds were not timed well with the heaviest rains?

March 2012 for you guys was a lot like December 2015 for us. Of note is that we got much colder after that and had a 30"+ snowstorm in January 2016 and even went below zero on Valentine's Day in February 2016. And the winter before that we had a -10 anomaly for the entire month of February 2015 and a lot of snow from January thru March. So many snowy winters starting from 2009-10 with 2011-12 being the rare exception dud winter.
