This is why it's safer to assume we'll see a few 1-3 inch events like we got in January 2009 rather than some blockbuster event, especially in such a fast flow pattern. It's not a matter of luck but of the actual pattern regardless of the state of the indices.

HO HO HO How long has the sun been out for you
-
just need to correct that they got 2002 backwards
-
also need to factor in the lag effect of the solar max for upcoming winters
-
Not only that you are actually getting winter during peak climo winter rather than waiting for February, this is a lot better than the torch Decembers we get in el ninos
-
Maybe by January 20, but at least we can have a wintry period when the days are shortest and when we have our peak climo coldest weather.
-
This might be controversial, but I'd rather have a La Nina than an El Nino. El Nino winters torch early and seem to enhance the effects of global warming. Thanks to La Nina we at least got a cold and somewhat snowy holiday period. I'll take this over a torch December and praying for a fluke January/February blizzard which is what you need to get to normal snowfall in an el nino. This is MUCH better.

Ed, I saw that the skies were clearing out by you early on, the sun only came out here about 20 minutes ago so maybe that delayed the melt here a little. Merry Christmas, this is the most wintry it's felt around Christmas in a few years.

thank la nina I hate torch Decembers -
I must be at the lower extent of the white in SW Nassau, we have 1" of snow here on all natural surfaces, I posted pictures in the other thread. I love that 2.5 off the south shore of Fire Island lol
-
this is exactly why I'll take a la nina over the typical el nino torch December

You also have a lot more sun than we do, the sun only just started to poke through here a few minutes ago.
-
It's been cloudy all morning, the sun just came out 15 minutes ago so not much meltage today either.
-
You have a lot less snow than we do here Thats a surprise

wow what the hell you have a lot less snow than we do, we have about 80% coverage here
-
to be fair though these storms usually happen after the holidays. you rarely get them in December
-
its fine here on the south shore too, no one really cares if there's snow on the roads, sidewalks or driveways, as long as there's snow on natural surfaces like grass it's good.
-
Same as here. It's fine because it snowed yesterday and before that on Saturday. By the weekend this snow will be a memory with rain and temps in the 50s.
-
That 2002 report is wrong they got it backwards, they wrote there was 5 inches of snow that changed to rain.... it was actually rain that changed to snow.
-
Tony, is the departure at JFK much less because it was warmer at JFK or because the mean December temperature at JFK is lower? I noticed the mean December temperature at Central Park is over 37 now-- it used to be around 36!
-
Tony what was the low at JFK on Christmas morning 1980? I noticed it's not included in the records (which was set there 3 years later in 1983.)
-
Unfortunately the 2010 storm started on the day after Christmas (like the 1947 storm), had they both occurred just a day earlier they would have been even more memorable.
-
we should include 1947 too Tony, that was one of our largest snowstorms of all time
-
I wonder if it all fell in less than an hour (was it a snow squall?)
