Since 1950, just 1 of 18 (6%) of storms with an NAO of +0.900 or above saw 6" or more snow in New York City. That storm occurred with an AO of -1.769. Don, which storm was this? Was it in February 1994?

The entertainment was well worth it.

Here is the funny irony, like two weeks ago in the enso thread Snowman said that this season reminded him of 2010-11 a lot, but he said that in reference to how winter ended as soon as February began. So he may be right about it being like 2010-11 but for the wrong reason.

what was wrong with how it was in the old days when we just had one big thread for doing model pbp for all the storms? It was awesome, like reading a big mystery novel. I guess people don't like to read books anymore. Separating everything into 3 or 4 threads just makes everything seem disjointed.

Hey there's a positive side to all this.....

I hate when people diss parrots in this way, parrots have an extremely high level of intelligence, easily higher than most people in this forum.

Temperatures should drop when the snow moves in the air is very dry.

this is more than one storm though, some will trend north, others will trend south.

wow still 16-21 for our area. and this is the ensembles mean, not even an individual run.

it doesn't matter, It's February so sun angle isn't an issue. I like watching the snow fall so I'd like to see it fall during the day time. Can't see it when it's dark outside (streetlights only show a very narrow area, not satisfactory.) Heaviest snowfall rate 8 am to 9 am is ideal for me.

your eyes must have gotten wide when you saw that 1.4 per hour over our area at 9 am lol

wild, thats 1.4 inches per hour right over my head at 9 am

That was wild to see, 70% on the first one and 60% for the second here on the south shore. What's the difference between the two maps anyway, is the first one the Euro and the second one the GFS?

looks like 50%+ for all of Long Island too Walt

You're probably used to a lot more snow, being from Boulder and all.

up to 9 weenies now, will you hit double digits lol? I do agree that things were much better when we had one thread for models. For observations individual threads are okay but when just model info is being posted, why not just keep it to one thread?

2014 and 2015 back to back were pretty great!!

Look at 1920 up there. February 1920 might have been our most anomalous storm of all time, even beyond March 1888 !

I think it's interesting because where we reside on the east coast, typically we don't jackpot in any scenario, we get the northern edge of storms that hit the DelMarVa and the southern edge of the storms that hit New England. Winters and storms where we get the most snow are very rare. You can see this reflected in the number of 20 inch snowstorms-- both Baltimore and Boston have had more 20 inch snowstorms than NYC has had.

Did you see his next post where he said that Boston could get 54 inches of snow next week?

1920: An intense nor'easter dumped 17.5 inches of snow over three days in New York City Central Park, New York. Boston, MA, saw 12.2 inches of snow on this day. Tony is this the infamous 18 inch sleet storm that gave us 5 inches of LE over 3 days? Why don't we get these kinds of multiday events anymore?

This storm will forever live in infamy up here, but I don't get why they call it one of their *worst* blizzards in DC instead of one of their *BEST* blizzards in history. 2010 - A mega-snowstorm, which President Obama dubbed Snowmageddon, buried the Washington D.C. area with more than 30 inches of snow in some areas. At American University in Washington the official snowfall was 27.5 inches. Snowfall totals in the Washington DC area range from a low of 17.9 inches at Ronald Reagan National Airport to 40 inches in the northern suburb of Colesville, MD. Dulles Airport reported 32.4 inches, which established a new two-day snowfall record. The Baltimore-Washington International Airport, MD, measured 24.8 inches from the storm breaking the record for the largest two day snowfall there. It is one of the worst blizzards in the city's history. also, Tony you missed the record high for LGA from 1991 (which became one of our hottest summers to be tied two years later in 1993 for number of 90+ degree days). EWR: 69 (1991) NYC: 70 (1991) LGA: (1991) JFK: 66 (1991) Lows: EWR: 3 (1996) NYC: -6 (1918) LGA: 6 (1995) JFK: 7 (1996)

Best thing is this is happening in February, not March. (March 2018 pattern would have been much snowier in February.)

24 hour plus snowstorm?

wow Boston guys must be really excited, 21 inches there? Never saw that before on the EPS or any ensemble means for that matter.
