  1. Looks like this only benefits the midwest as far as snow is concerned? It makes the trough very sharp. They've had a massive snowfall drought in the midwest back to the northern plains.
  2. wow you got a little more up there than we got down here (not by much but still.)
  3. all the trees and wires are covered, this was a very wet beautiful snow, looks like a picture postcard outside
  4. 1-2 ended up being correct for the city and long island, including the south shore. There was no 3-4 inch spike for JFK or anywhere on the south shore. We always change over first in a mixed storm but a storm that's supposed to favor our area and we get the same amount the city got. Incidentally, Upton's 2.0 is the highest amount I saw on Long Island.
  5. He doesn't think it's legit either. What makes it particularly ludicrous is JFK had it as 2.2 and then lowered it to 1.6 to match Central Park. I find that somewhat comical......
  6. It still doesn't explain how you can have a cutter with a -5 AO
  7. How is it possible to have a cutter with a -5 AO? Wouldn't that AO suppress everything to the south?
  8. Maybe you'll get more, by decent for those of us at the coast I mean the last one that doesn't change over to ice/rain. Looks like the next couple will change over and then it's suppression city again.
  9. Yes but it's a little sad watching white out conditions near the white house and knowing we won't get that here. Back in the day storms that hit DC hard also hit us hard lol.
  10. If it goes like last time, I think we could still see one more minor storm like we did last time, but it would be under 4 inches just like all the others.
  11. Wow, it does remind me of the January 1996 blizzard, for a few hours at least....
  12. We can even pretend we're reliving the start of the January 1996 Blizzard for a few hours lol
  13. Maybe we will get it as the block is about to break down? When is that supposed to happen?
  14. I used to listen to him a lot back then. He was also on Ch 11 WPIX sometimes. Did he have a meltdown over December 1989 too? They were still forecasting 6-8 for that one even when it quickly changed to rain and started to thunder lol.
  15. what a busted forecast that was, it would still be a bust today, as would December 1989 (in the opposite direction)
  16. I have a feeling tonight's snowfall will be our last decent snowfall for awhile.
  17. and the lowest number in the entire county, it looks so off compared to the 3.5 at Howard Beach. I wish I remembered that storm better-- was it a snow changing to rain storm? Because 0.24 liquid equivalent and 1.6 inches of snow seems like a weird 8:1 ratio otherwise.
  18. Thanks. Wow, I was suspicious about that 1.6 from Central Park too and looking at the surrounding reporting stations, it seems like 2.2 for JFK is more supported than 1.6. So now both Central Park and JFK are recorded as having 1.6 in that storm? I wonder what the reason for the change was? Note Howard Beach, which is very close to JFK, measured 3.5 in that storm. That's a huge difference.
  19. It feels like JFK is weirdly low, there have been a few events this year where JFK had more snow than NYC. I also added up your numbers for JFK and they added up to 9.7
