    If next year sucks as badly as the previous two, it could be the worst 3 year stretch in recorded history (at least for NYC and maybe BOS too?)
  2. LibertyBell
    I think 2020-21 also fits this example, although less so than the examples you listed. 2005-06 was meh, but we did have a December storm and the... "HECS" in February. 40" in NYC.
  3. LibertyBell
    why not south and east with moisture coming off the ocean?
  4. LibertyBell
    a banding situation in both cases? is this also why NYC only saw a trace that May even though there was thundersnow? I wonder what the temperature differences were in that storm too, NYC vs PVD vs BOS?
  5. LibertyBell
    Are we sure that wasn't an erroneous situation? I have a hard time picturing Providence getting 7 inches in May lol. How could that happen when Boston had much less? Providence is almost always warmer.
  6. LibertyBell
    and it starts around 1 am? I like the ones that start at sunrise, snow all day and end at sunset.
  7. LibertyBell
    it would be nice if it snowed all day and then ended with a beautiful sunset....
  8. LibertyBell
    I thought we had like one inch in April? But in the middle of March it was amazingly warm (mid to upper 80s with sunshine!)
  9. LibertyBell
    How did Providence get much less than Boston in PD2? PD2 came from the south.....
  10. LibertyBell
    Chris did this also happen in May 1977? I remember Providence got 7" in that snowstorm somehow and Boston only got half an inch (0.5")?
  11. LibertyBell
    Do you think it will at least be warm and sunny like March 1990?
  12. LibertyBell
    It's probably why mild winters tend to stay mild even when the pattern becomes "better" later in the season. You usually need that December snow and cold to make sure it comes back after any thaw later in the winter.
  13. LibertyBell
    Yep, we've seen this in prior events like this too.
  14. LibertyBell
    we usually do a little better than the city in events like this so in a 2-4 range, it would be Central Park getting 2 and we would get 3, or 3 and 4... this is just going by memory of past events like this.

    This is what I think too, that will just keep the current pattern in place. Truthfully, it's hard to think of what would actually cause a big change to the Pacific if a +2.0C very strong el nino couldn't do it after three years of la nina.
  16. LibertyBell
    what if you are at the same latitude as I-78 on the south shore of Long Island?
  17. LibertyBell
    and who knows how different the winter would have been with more sustained snowcover to our north as well as more ice cover on the great lakes.
  18. LibertyBell
    Thanks.... Do you think Mitchnick is right in his thinking that we need a very strong la nina to entirely change the pacific pattern?
  19. LibertyBell
    so this weekend's storm is probably the last snowstorm of the winter?
  20. LibertyBell
    Winter storm naming isn't unscientific, it's done in Europe. It's the silly names they pick that I don't like. Winter storm naming can be tied to areal coverage of winter storm warnings for objectivity
  21. LibertyBell
    There is a scientific way to name winter storms, I just don't like the silly names they use. We can tie winter storm naming to areal coverage of winter storm warnings, that's the most objective way to do it.
  22. LibertyBell
    I did too. I don't remember any snowfall at all last winter hmmm lol
  23. LibertyBell
    Thanks, I've been looking for storm by storm details of some of the elusive winters that dumped 100" of snow in NYC and PHL I believe there was one in the late 1830s and another one in the 1840s with continuous snow cover from November through March.
  24. LibertyBell
    Yes, what you mentioned-- a hot and dry summer followed by a snowy winter is common in the el nino to la nina transition. It's happened several times.
  25. LibertyBell
    Typically, la ninas after el ninos are good for cold and snow, so we'll see.
