    Also, I don't believe 97/98 is the proper analog for this winter, because that ENSO phase was "super" this will end up just being "strong" in all likelihood. It puts it in a completely different category. And even if it's "super" (which it likely won't be classified as that way), there are two other "supers" that were colder and snowier, which is what makes 1997-98 the anomaly.

    This winter? There was one moderate event and one minor event. The moderate event dropped 4.2 here and the minor event dropped 2.0 here. I don't know where the other two events came from.... I don't consider anything less than an inch as an event.

    I dont see anything to be happy about, I understand you got a lot more snow than the those of us down here though.
  4. LibertyBell
    Many on this forum thought it would be much more like 2015-16.
  5. LibertyBell
    I mean it's an aberration because a strong el nino is expected to do better than what 97-98 did and there two other very strong ones did that a lot better, so that makes 1997-98 the aberration.

    This is why I'm worried about Canadian wild fires and bad air quality here again. I think some people are just unaware of how awful things are getting-- and it's about so much more than just snowfall.
  7. LibertyBell
    Because there are other el nino events that were stronger than this that had much more snow and were colder. 1982-83 and 2015-16 I consider 1997-98 an aberration. We even went below 0 in February 2016, on this date, as a matter of fact. Happy Valentine's Day lol.

    We can just use the national numbers overall and going by that it's been a historically snowless winter over the CONUS. I dont understand the fixation with TN-- it's just one state lol.
  9. LibertyBell
    Yeah but you're inland. Even disregarding central park, none of the airports here are even close to double digits.

    If we end up at under 10 inches on the season it's going to be the worst 2 year period in New York City history. Will have to look at JFK's history in the late 90s to see how well it compares with that. But one thing to be happy about, I don't think there's much of a chance of a cool rainy spring, like the last two years I would bet on a warm and dry spring.
  11. LibertyBell
    Yeah I dont get this jolly attitude and comparing it to 97-98, they are both equally bad.
  12. LibertyBell
    yeah this is what usually happens after strong el ninos going to la ninas Not just 2010 either, but several other warm seasons were just like this.
  13. LibertyBell
    It will likely be more like 2010 than anything else.
  14. LibertyBell
    dont worry we wont get either, we will likely have a warm dry March and a hot and dry April leading into a hot and dry summer.
  15. LibertyBell
    again I dont get this need to compare this to 97-98, as of now they are equally bad but no one besides you even cares about 97-98 lol
  16. LibertyBell
    I would classify anything at under 10 inches as just awful and in the lowest possible category.
  17. LibertyBell
    lol the snowfall total this year is exactly the same as 97-98 and I dont understand why 97-98 became the bar for anything, it wasn't even the least snowiest winter, but it was a complete failure and so is this winter, not just for us, but for the entire nation.
  18. LibertyBell
    NYC will probably not avoid it and neither will most of the rest of us on the coast. You are in CT-- a completely different climate from us.
  19. LibertyBell
    of course you can complain the last two winters have sucked Comparing this to 97/98 is like saying I failed the test but at least I scored higher than the kid who also failed, but with a lower score.
  20. LibertyBell
    Yeah no one on the coast saw more than 5 inches. You had to be at least 10 miles away from the water for that.
  21. LibertyBell
    and 1954-55, was that back to neutral?
  22. LibertyBell
    It's so incredibly windy tonight, that storm must still be strengthening well offshore.
  23. LibertyBell
    oh wow, I thought it would have been the late 90s, but it looks like the early-mid 50s had that beat.
  24. LibertyBell
    that must've been the 60s lol
  25. LibertyBell
    I wonder what the elevation is in this area? Northern location plus some elevation definitely plays a role in marginal setups plus there's sound enhancement too.
