  1. Is it even possible for a triple phaser to take a benchmark track? I don't think it's ever happened. Up by Nova Scotia it's no problem, they get triple phasers every few years up there. 2004 had a really big one up that way.
  2. What I distinctly remember about March 1993 was watching the mid day update on ABC 7 and listening to it on 1010 WINS both said the new model runs came in and said the storm would pass over Montauk and not west of NYC and we would all get over 20 inches. That turned out to be wrong. It's why I rate that storm a B+, January 1996 was the first HECS I witnessed as an adult.
  3. it really is a joke.... even their so-called local forecast (check it) says 1-3 inches for both Huntington and Valley Stream lol.
  4. There's no way JFK got less than Central Park. Not a lot of snow but at least half an inch here.
  5. meanwhile, TWC showed the GFS solution on air and the snowfall map and said it shows over one foot of snow from Dallas to Boston lol
  6. why is it that we have a strong southeast ridge 11 months out of the year and the one month we need it, it disappears.... this may be a case of us needing more global warming to pump up the southeast ridge lol.
  7. TWC just showed the GFS output and said "it shows over a foot of snow from Dallas to Boston" lol....
  8. meanwhile the skies brightened up and it looks like the sun is trying to come out here.
  9. That was a case where the south shore might have done better than the north shore, we had over 20" here. I remember reading though that some parts of Long Island had up to 2 feet?
  10. Notice how Baltimore has more than DC... it's because DC mixed over for awhile.
  11. my first 20 incher too near JFK. Our best storm until January 1996!
  12. mix line came up there, it mixed with sleet at DC and changed over to freezing rain in Richmond and most of southern VA.
  13. well he ate work, so allowing breaks became a moot point.
  14. Cape May will get more snow out of this than DC.
  15. they have some elevation. Mt Sinai probably has the most snow of anywhere on Long Island on average anyway.
  16. the heaviest snow has come after 1 pm so hopefully they measure it properly, driveways now covered with snow.
  17. wild I forgot it was in the 70s on this date in 2007, 11 years after the big blizzard. Second half of winter that year was much colder, even April's first 3 weeks were colder than January. and then 11 years after that we had a record cold stretch lol. There's that 11 year sunspot cycle again....
  18. sometimes they do February 1978 was forecast a week in advance on 70s technology that's like going to the moon on 60s technology lol. February 1983 was forecast in advance. March 1993 was also forecast well in advance January 1996 was forecast in advance. PD2 was also forecast well in advance. Obviously the tracks nudged north/west but the signals for all of the above were there well in advance.
  19. our biggest snowstorms had a kicker like that, they would get to the latitude of Delaware and then get booted east.
  20. everything was nicely treated here so the roads are only wet as are the sidewalks and driveways, the snow has only accumulated on natural terrain (grass, trees, bushes, etc.) as well as rooftops and cartops.
