Jan 11th-12th Super Bomb or Super Bummed?

I wasn't talking about you I was talking about the debbie downers who like to rain on everyone's parade or give out sausages for optimistic posts.- 993 replies

They need to understand that 90% of the fun is the anticipation and tracking on the models. Meteorology is a --VERY INEXACT SCIENCE-- We know it probably won't work out but who cares? We also know Santa Claus doesn't exist but we still enjoy Christmas! Let people have their fun without being a wet sock guys.- 993 replies

Occasional Thoughts on Climate Change
LibertyBell replied to donsutherland1's topic in Climate Change
Seeing all those horrible fires in California, WOW! It makes you feel helpless not being able to do anything about it. To become an advanced species humanity MUST learn to control the weather. That should be our first priority, learning how to control and stop life threatening storms and winds. -

We have that here too, but it's usually in the summer. Sometimes with thunderstorms but sometimes on a bright sunny day when the wind gusts to 20 lol. Had one of those last summer, my power went out for 4 hours and I was sweltering in the heat.

Don't do that, simulated snow is fun too. It's actually more fun to track something even if it never happens than the feeling you get after an actual snowfall ends. I think thats what the Debbie Downers dont understand, sometimes and in some winters we dont even care if it actually snows as long as we can track a possibility on the models. It's like reading a good suspense novel or watching a suspenseful movie, you know it's not true, but who cares? The reading or watching is what makes it fun!- 993 replies

snow in NW Florida isn't extremely uncommon though. Tallahassee gets small accumulating snowfalls from time to time.

eh that image might break the rules of this G rated thread lol.

I think elevation also helps on the north shore. I'm really jealous of that mountain they call Mount Sinai lol.

Ed, wasn't January 2009 somewhat like this?
-
I have a house there and there are medium sized lakes where there is a very minor form of lake effect lol. I live near Bear Creek Lake and sometimes there's snow on one side of the lake and not the other.

Was the 50/50 low one of our previous storms that stalled out in the Atlantic because of the blocking? Maybe southern Greenland is getting historic snows from that beast.
-
Maybe New England too when the pattern flips. Living in the middle is no man's land.

Precip shields are usually more expansive in el ninos because of the juicier sub tropical jet. It also sometimes happens in la ninas that come after el ninos because there is a lag effect.- 993 replies

Don, do you think the chances are there that we average under 30.0 for the month? I know you don't do precip forecasts but what are the chances that January finishes with below average precipitation? 2024 is going to finish with below normal precipitation and I think we're headed that way in following years. Looks like our extremely wet period is coming to an end. We are cycling back towards the 70s-90s era of drier years (and hotter summers with more 90 degree days too.)

and then we had another bout of useless cold in early April if I remember correctly, snow out on the cape and we had sunny windy cold weather with temps in the 20s.- 993 replies

LibertyBell replied to Rjay's topic in New York City Metro
that might be the only thing that the winter of 2015-16 had in common with the winter of 1960-61. 1960-61 really delivered the goods with a 25" HECS in February and below zero temperatures. Was February 1961 JFK's snowiest month on record and what was the total seasonal snowfall at JFK that season?- 993 replies

The real threat will be in the transition period, probably around January 20th. Historically, at least over the last decade or so, January 20th is around the time when we get our largest snow events of the season.

What's the reason for these 3 days of high winds? Can the stronger northern stream actually make winds stronger at the surface too?

This is pretty sad, I've also seen this when I was at the park in Babylon near the Babylon LIRR station.
