  1. I doubt anyone will be unhappy if we get 1-3, any snow is good snow.
  2. It seems like it snows more often in milder patterns than in colder patterns. For some reason snow is more likely when it's in the 50s a few days before and after a snowstorm, but when you have a week of temperatures in the 20s and low 30s then snow is much less likely. Go figure.
  3. really no different than any of the other storms so far this winter. 4 inches might be a bit too high, but 1-3 inches sounds about right. It has the potential to be as good as our best December storm which dropped 3 inches here.
  4. It may not be final with more snow moving in with the ULL, Don.
  5. Somehow I see the same mistakes being made if that storm recurred in current times.
  6. Did January 1996 use today's measurement practices though? It was undermeasured.
  7. The Central Park measurer wasn't any good back then either.
  8. January 1996 was also undermeasured. I was in the same location for January 1996 and PD2 and PD2 was 26 inches at JFK, January 1996 was in no way shape or form only 22 inches. And February 1978 was in no way shape or form only 14 inches but that's a different story.
  9. I don't think a brush would be enough to remove that behemoth even if doing it every 6 hours!
  10. February 1921 if all snow would have been the most snow this area could possibly ever see in one storm. 17 inches of sleet as it was.
  11. But 1888 totals were far exceeded by the January 2016 mega blizzard, I have a hard time believing ANY storm would have exceeded the 30+ inches we got here in that storm, regardless of track. The 1993 storm was in and out in one day..... if any storm could have done it, it would have been the February 1921 storm that was like 17 inches of sleet over 3 days. Almost 5 inches of liquid which would have been like 50 inches of snow if all snow.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. it really is a joke.... even their so-called local forecast (check it) says 1-3 inches for both Huntington and Valley Stream lol.
  15. There's no way JFK got less than Central Park. Not a lot of snow but at least half an inch here.
  16. 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
  17. 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.
  18. TWC just showed the GFS output and said "it shows over a foot of snow from Dallas to Boston" lol....
  19. meanwhile the skies brightened up and it looks like the sun is trying to come out here.
