    Notice all the snow on the trees? This a nice wet snow, not some average dry powdery stuff.

    It depends on where you live, in January 2016 we had 12 consecutive hours of true blizzard conditions verified at JFK, and in January 2018 had 6 consecutive hours of true blizzard conditions verified at JFK. That was the first time I ever saw either of those in my entire life. The snowfall was also 50% greater-- 30 inches vs 20 inches (actually 18 inches at JFK) is a huge difference. The response to December 2010 was messed up by the city, I remember that the subway situation was completely mishandled. and trains got stuck on their tracks.

    hey thats going too far lol January 2016 was orders of magnitude better than any of those storms and so was the one we got in January 2018, hours of white out conditions.

    why cant these bands be wider and cover more of the area?
  5. LibertyBell
    Yeah this is definitely not a clipper lol, more like a bowling ball midlat cyclone.

    wait what... 4 inches per hour? that means thundersnow is happening!
  7. LibertyBell
    it's like a lake effect band!

    the only thing wrong about this storm is it's happening at night and moving too quickly, I expect all this to be over by sunrise.
  9. LibertyBell
    or at least the same.... it would be nice to get a second 4" storm in the same week.... that would solidly raise this winter to a C- for me.

    too bad you're not in Lynbrook, this area will do nicely, usually our climate resembles Monmouth County more than the rest of Long Island lol
  11. LibertyBell
    yep that moderate snow is now here
  12. LibertyBell
    It's snowing here nicely
  13. LibertyBell
    very much so I just hope all the snow doesn't fall while I'm sleeping lol

    https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/outlooks/hurricane2003/August/background_information.html Accumulated Cyclone Energy Index by the way on a related topic, mets in the west pac have been talking about modifying the SS scale to add a Cat 6 for super typhoons of 192 mph or higher. that reminds me of way back when in the original tornado Fujita scale there was an F6 category for tornadoes from 320 mph to the speed of sound (640 mph). it was dropped because no tornado ever reached F6, but for super typhoons in the west pac, there are a few that have reached 192 mph or higher (and in the east pac too.)

    with the dewpoint that low it could even get into the upper 20s. temps wont be a problem, I just wish the storm was moving a little more slowly.
  16. LibertyBell
    it could even drop into the upper 20s.
  17. LibertyBell
    Biggest issue might be speed of storm, the accumulating snow is likely over by sunrise with only flurries after that.

    Better yet let's conquer Cheapskate, Virginia and seize their name?
  19. LibertyBell
    for some reason I read this as CPK is Cheapskate, Virginia
  20. LibertyBell
    a 7 course meal?
  21. LibertyBell
    and assuming all else is equal, whose snow would be gone more quickly?

    the AMO warm phase can become extended with warmer SST, we dont know if the AMO behaves the same way now as it did 50 years ago. or if a negative AMO would have the same effect it did back then
  23. LibertyBell
    will these warmer SST lead to an extended +AMO?
  24. LibertyBell
    yes we love la ninas after el ninos for this, hopefully high ACE but would love for the storms to stay offshore like they did in 1995.
  25. LibertyBell
    wow sounds like January 1996 1899 - Washington D.C. received 1.26 inches of rain in six hours atop a snow cover more than 30 inches deep making it the soggiest day of record. (Sandra and TI Richard Sanders - 1987)
