    I think we'll have more chances if one of these actually hits us. In my experience snow begets more snow. A feedback mechanism.

    That's right and the other thing that stands out about 03-04 was the early December blizzard (our earliest blizzard) that lasted two days and where the rain/snow line was like 5 miles south of us on the first day of the storm lol.

    Normally we would still see snowy la ninas if they came right after an el nino because the subtropical jet would still be there (a la 95-96 and 10-11) but last year's el nino didn't have a normal el nino subtropical jet either.

    and then there are the rare *hook and ladder* stemwinder kind of storms..... do you remember these, JM? They seem to have become more rare now..... in these, DC through PHL gets hit hard and BOS also gets hit hard but NYC gets a minimal amount of snow. I think Vet's Day 1987 was this kind of storm? If there's a more recent example I don't remember, maybe January 1999?

    We tried to figure it out a few years ago when it last happened and I believe we concluded that the pattern needs a few weeks to recover and by the time it does December is done.

    I think 03-04 was a special winter because it was one of the rare NYC winters, it wasn't particularly great north or south of us. Was that the winter when NYC got more snow than either Boston or Worcester or am I thinking of a different one? Us being tucked into the coast also makes us somewhat different from southern NE. Eastern Suffolk county has more of a southern NE type of winter climate.

    I think the differences get magnified in la ninas because the storms usually have much smaller areas of heavy snow. January 1996 is an obvious exception but the big megalopolis blizzards usually happen in el ninos.

    it's why I liked 14-15 so much, the historically cold February and the very snowy March that did not disappoint!

    It proved the old saying about winters usually sucking if you get a snowstorm in November lol

    In addition to that, correct me if I'm wrong Don, but in la ninas you typically have smaller snow shields and more thread the needle events? January 1996 was an obvious exception, but in most la ninas I remember the area that gets hit with heavy snow is usually small. DCA to BOS heavy snowfalls typically occur in el ninos?

    Farmingdale had 20 inches in that storm if I remember correctly.
  12. LibertyBell
    You just want their snow lol.
  13. LibertyBell
    Yep, when we first started the subforum thing we shared one.
  14. LibertyBell
    Looks like they'll be plowing three inches of salt instead!
  15. LibertyBell
    They are, some of the most brilliant minds are in that subforum. I just meant weatherwise in grouping geographically according to people who typically get hit by the same storms, etc.

    the following winter was much better. How did you do in the last storm in 09-10, when Central Park got 20 inches-- the snowicane? That was the start of three 20 inch snowstorms in 12 months!
  17. LibertyBell
    That was the storm that made me think that Philly belongs in the MidAtlantic subforum not part of our subforum.
  18. LibertyBell
    I think the greatest gradient I have ever seen was the 1.5 inches at JFK to 24 inches at Toms River. That's nearly two feet over 50 miles!

    It makes me really miss October and the first half of November....
  20. LibertyBell
    it smells and feels like sunshine outside.... BECAUSE IT'S MOSTLY SUNNY!
  21. LibertyBell
    The East in your location always throws me off lol I always think Weston= Western CT Easton= Eastern CT lol
  22. LibertyBell
    I see they're under a blizzard warning, I saw some forecasts for there up to 20 inches of snow? Wow!
  23. LibertyBell
    But you're in SE CT right? You would be better off near New Haven, they were the jackpot in that storm.
  24. LibertyBell
    I'm surprised that Mt Pocono has 30.5 inches while the southern part of the same county only has 6 inches lol
  25. LibertyBell
    This is very similar to what happened in the late 80s, the last three years are a good match for that overall. Maybe the fast Pac hurt us back then too.
