  1. That 1996 arctic outbreak is extremely underrated, so many people remember the Jan 1996 blizzard and then the extreme January thaw and flooding we had after that, but the comeback to winter weather by early February was historic too.
  2. Yes, right now I'm thinking if the storm track is that far south, the mountains would most likely be favored. Elevation seems to do better no matter what the pattern, so that's a safe bet to make.
  3. Right and this isn't unprecedented, we've seen this happen before, several times.
  4. The same patterns seem to repeat over and over again. In 2004-05 we had a similar 10 day pattern of early February warmth and then we went back to snowy again later in the month. If the same pattern repeats, it would be congrats DelMarVa to southern NJ. Logically you'd think later in the season the storm track should move north, but March 2014 proved otherwise.
  5. Yep, China and India are both going in the wrong direction and the end result of that is high levels of air pollution, smoggy skies and severe migraines and breathing problems for millions of people especially near the big cities. Those are two countries I would not want to visit for a long time.
  6. or maybe for the southeast at this rate. If 1972-73 is indeed the analog to use, it could be very good for the Carolinas.
  7. wow, what a horrible day, the day that music died.... 1959: At 12:55 am Central Time, a plane took off from runway 17 at the Mason City, Iowa airport, carrying the lives of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson. At the time of departure, the weather was reported as light snow, a ceiling of 3,000 feet with sky obscured, visibility 6 miles, and winds from 20 to 30 mph. At around 9:35 am, Hubert Jerry Dwyer spotted the wreckage less than 6 miles northwest of the airport. The three musicians and the pilot died from this crash.
  8. This is what happened in March 2014.
  9. Having to wear sunglasses because we're not used to such bright skies!
  10. Hopefully we got all the clouds out of the way so April isn't a repeat of January.... it would suck to have cloud cover on the day of the eclipse.
  11. they're going back to coal for some odd reason. China is doing that too, which is even more of a concern because of their population. They think they can go to coal now and then reverse course in time to be carbon neutral by 2060.
  12. I mean it'll probably happen and within our lifetimes but any new tech costs a ton at first and take decades to deploy on a widespread basis.
  13. giving up nuclear for coal is like punching yourself in the nose repeatedly to stop yourself from sneezing.
  14. It will be interesting to see how it will work out in a warmer North America compared to those years. It can work, just probably not in the same extreme way as those years.
  15. It might take until the 0z, we know about the infamous 6z/18z runs of the GFS lol
  16. I heard that Mormons are great surfers!
  17. It just seemed like an oddly exact amount "15-23" inches here and "25-35" inches inland. Most forecasts would just be like "higher than average chances of wintry weather" or something like that. It makes me think the Fox hype machine wrote that with little or no input from Nick Gregory.
  18. Did you see the map that was posted on that page? I mean it's Fox, so we can't expect much, but still. I'm not sure how much input Nick Gregory had in writing that, more likely the Fox hype machine did it all on their own.
  19. "a major snowstorm or two" along with a map showing "15-23" inches of snow over the coast and "25-35" inches inland, sounds like hype on a cartoonish scale to me.
  20. even "at least another 15 inches of snow" sounds like hype, that's many times more snow than we've had in the last 2 years.
  21. I mean, it has to be right sometime..... right?!
  22. it's interesting how ACY, which is 100 miles south of us, did better in 2022. That reminds me of an 80s type winter.
  23. there were people who knew about it in the 70s, but the knowledge wasn't widely disseminated... you can guess why
  24. This is also why we don't see near normal snowfall winters anymore, everything seems to be either well below normal or well above normal. Ditto with individual snowstorms, it's either 1-3 inches or 6"+
