  1. I mean it's an aberration because a strong el nino is expected to do better than what 97-98 did and there two other very strong ones did that a lot better, so that makes 1997-98 the aberration.
  2. This is why I'm worried about Canadian wild fires and bad air quality here again. I think some people are just unaware of how awful things are getting-- and it's about so much more than just snowfall.
  3. Because there are other el nino events that were stronger than this that had much more snow and were colder. 1982-83 and 2015-16 I consider 1997-98 an aberration. We even went below 0 in February 2016, on this date, as a matter of fact. Happy Valentine's Day lol.
  4. We can just use the national numbers overall and going by that it's been a historically snowless winter over the CONUS. I dont understand the fixation with TN-- it's just one state lol.
  5. Yeah but you're inland. Even disregarding central park, none of the airports here are even close to double digits.
  6. If we end up at under 10 inches on the season it's going to be the worst 2 year period in New York City history. Will have to look at JFK's history in the late 90s to see how well it compares with that. But one thing to be happy about, I don't think there's much of a chance of a cool rainy spring, like the last two years I would bet on a warm and dry spring.
  7. Yeah I dont get this jolly attitude and comparing it to 97-98, they are both equally bad.
  8. yeah this is what usually happens after strong el ninos going to la ninas Not just 2010 either, but several other warm seasons were just like this.
  9. It will likely be more like 2010 than anything else.
  10. dont worry we wont get either, we will likely have a warm dry March and a hot and dry April leading into a hot and dry summer.
  11. again I dont get this need to compare this to 97-98, as of now they are equally bad but no one besides you even cares about 97-98 lol
  12. I would classify anything at under 10 inches as just awful and in the lowest possible category.
  13. lol the snowfall total this year is exactly the same as 97-98 and I dont understand why 97-98 became the bar for anything, it wasn't even the least snowiest winter, but it was a complete failure and so is this winter, not just for us, but for the entire nation.
  14. NYC will probably not avoid it and neither will most of the rest of us on the coast. You are in CT-- a completely different climate from us.
  15. of course you can complain the last two winters have sucked Comparing this to 97/98 is like saying I failed the test but at least I scored higher than the kid who also failed, but with a lower score.
  16. Yeah no one on the coast saw more than 5 inches. You had to be at least 10 miles away from the water for that.
  17. It's so incredibly windy tonight, that storm must still be strengthening well offshore.
  18. oh wow, I thought it would have been the late 90s, but it looks like the early-mid 50s had that beat.
  19. I wonder what the elevation is in this area? Northern location plus some elevation definitely plays a role in marginal setups plus there's sound enhancement too.
  20. the elusive long island max average seasonal snowfall is likely within that circle somewhere
  21. Was it compaction though or was it melting? Because I saw puddles of water when the snow lightened up around 11 am and the sky brightened up.
  22. Some people don't like the guy, but at least he has guts and he's outspoken.
  23. Don, weren't the 50s almost a perpetual el nino state until the 1955-56 la nina? I think 1955-56 was another one of those la nina after el nino scenarios very hot summer followed by a snowy winter.
