    Probably, but it's still deceptive to say that since they always talk about the snowfall drought of I-95 and always refer to NYC, Philly, Baltimore, DC, etc. al. Plus whenever the "benchmark track" is mentioned it's always in relation to coastal areas around here getting snow.
  2. LibertyBell
    I think them relying so much on the benchmark as a delineator of where it will snow vs where it will rain or mix is a bad idea. We have seen storms that came right across Long Island be mostly snow (Millenium storm) and we've seen offshore storms be mostly rain. It all has to do with the antecedent airmass. I think if you asked experts what determines whether it will snow or not, the number one answer would be the airmass in place as the storm comes in.

    Yeah but meanwhile their on camera "talent" is still saying (as of 5 minutes ago lol) "big I-95 snowstorm passing over the benchmark"-- makes you wonder how well they know the geography up here?
  4. LibertyBell
    we got a lot of rain and it changed to snow later, not a big deal in the city or here.

    was Nemo (I HATE THAT NAME!) a triple phaser? Why is it that triple phasers are much more likely to hit coastal Nova Scotia but down here they cut inland?

    Oh nevermind I thought this was for February 1983 this is the anniversary of that storm.... PD2's anniversary is next week.

    February 1983? I will call this Blizzard Alpha It's the first 20+" snowstorm I ever experienced and it was right after we moved to Long Island.

    omg just now on the air they said it is passing right over the benchmark and will be a big snowstorm for the I-95 corridor. Despite whatever their maps show this is what they have been saying for days now with their mouths.
  9. LibertyBell
    Some still think it will pass off the DelMarVa. You guys have to start criticizing the weather channel, they are spreading false info. 1) They have said for days this is a noreaster 2) They have said for days this is passing south and east of the benchmark "ensuring mostly snow for the coast" (their words....) 3) They have said for days now that this is a "monster" I-95 snowstorm. I went at them on social media telling them that they make a good case for why people from the south have no clue what an I-95 snowstorm or noreaster even is and why people in Atlanta have no business making weather forecasts for the northeast. So while we can blame "weenies" the real people to blame, once again, is the media, for spreading false information.

    It's also frustrating because this is going to become a huge megastorm for Nova Scotia for days at 950 mb. Nothing seems to want to happen at our latitude near the coast though.
  11. LibertyBell
    no blocking until it hits Nova Scotia and bombs out to 950mb for days

    Let's see if it's wrong and overly warm about these temperatures, because with a low of 37 degrees there will be zero accumulation. What's keeping it from getting colder Don, is the wind coming off the ocean?

    why does the GFS have a very strange zig zag rain snow line along the south shore lol?
  14. LibertyBell
    a coating to 2 inches seems like a safe bet. Honestly I would be happy with 1 inch.

    his "feet" must be the size of ants.

    The part about re-examining global teleconnections is really interesting. It means that analogs no longer have any real value.

    I think we're privileged to have seen 5 all time greats in those two sports in the last 40 years. Montana then Brady then Mahomes in football and Jordan then Lebron in basketball. I ranked Montana higher than Brady because of his perfect superbowl record and having basically thrown four perfect games in the superbowl because he threw no interceptions and faced the greatest defenses of all time under much tougher rules, but I feel like Brady nudged ahead with that last one because he won a superbowl with an entirely new team.
  18. LibertyBell
    People are going to argue this like they argue Jordan vs Lebron. But for those of us who actually saw Jordan play there really is no comparison, nobody but nobody has ever dominated the game the way Jordan did and under much more strenuous conditions too.

    Don what were the highs at Central Park, JFK and Newark? Did NYC get close to last year's record? Thanks!

    a lot of people will not vote even if it's just raining

    This was a storm that occurred early in the 1900s wasn't it? I remember we discussed it. What was the low for that storm? It dropped 5 inches And we had one much more recently that dropped 5.5 inches with a temp of 33. Both happened in April.
  22. LibertyBell
    I think I just have a sore memory of the really bad ones where it was raining here and freezing rain in January in the Poconos lol. There was lots of that going on.
  23. LibertyBell
    and he's not even a Yankees fan lol. He should be happy the Mets beat the Red Sox with a miracle comeback in 1986 and not worry so much about them lol
  24. LibertyBell
    I'm not sure it was much more north and west of town back in the late 80s and early 90s and again in the late 90s, I think everyone was getting shut out of snow. I had a place in the Poconos since 1986 and there was lots of bare ground there in those time periods with very little snow.
  25. LibertyBell
    Thanks Chris-- it's crazy to think about, but even with how horrible that period was, the last 2 years have been an order of magnitude worse than ANY of those years. There was only one season in that set that had less than a foot of snow and even that season had nearly twice the amount of snowfall of the last two years combined!
