    The moderate storm in a mild pattern we had on VD in Feb 2018? lol why?
  2. LibertyBell
    True the same thing happens when we have a powerful coastal storm on the east coast, we sometimes create new inlets.

    That's right, but none of them were off topic, we were just talking about alternate ways to have snowy winters. It's completely different to be making 19 posts in a row while most people are sleeping vs doing it when everyone's busy posting, there was literally no one else awake at that time plus I love to write quickly I love blogging on here.

    My sister is 63 now and I worry about her because she insists on living alone. And insists on doing everything herself. The last time she was at my house, I could see she was getting dizzy and a little off balance and I asked her to rest for a bit-- and she hates that.

    Older people seem to be much more sensitive to cold weather too. I've maintained friendships with people who loved the cold weather when they were in their 20s, 30s and 40s, but once they hit their 60s, they can't stand cold weather anymore (with or without snow.)

    Even Brooklyn got 12" in that one. That was our last significant snowstorm wasn't it? It's been awhile...

    When a multidecade drought does that to a large lake, it'll take multiple decades for them to recover. Meanwhile getting the snowpack back up will help a lot (even if it means our winters will suck for awhile lol.)

    You're not close to Caribou are you? I've been hearing reports that snowfall has gone up there in the last few years?
  9. LibertyBell
    Yea, my bad, I'm just looking at if this continues because of the -PDO we've had the last few years, so it's now two years in a row. The snow drought is still there though, so I can see how the drought can come back quicker than it normally would, because they don't have that much "water in the bank"-- snowpack in the Sierra is only 65% of normal (this is before the update with the latest storm.)

    I read this article too and while it mentions a snow drought, it says the snow pack has been building up with the last few storms. https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-01-31/amid-storms-california-snowpack-remains-far-below-average This is from the end of January so still doesn't cover the current storm.
  11. LibertyBell
    Yep, we missed these days.
  12. LibertyBell
    Well, now they're saying there's no more drought in California and this is even before the current deluge. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-11-07/california-is-drought-free There’s no drought anywhere in California: How long that’s expected to last, and why

    Have you changed your mind on the pattern becoming warmer as soon as March starts? You shared a tweet (from Burg I think), where it seemed like you were open to the cold extending into the first part of March.
  14. LibertyBell
    That's what happened in December 2010. The first storm missed and it took another week for the big hit. Different winter different pattern, of course.
  15. LibertyBell
    I thought that was too early for the pattern progression? Maybe not
  16. LibertyBell
    How does International Falls compare to Caribou? I suspect with a storm track moving farther north, both would do well?
  17. LibertyBell
    Interesting-- NE PA and SNE both had over 30" of snow in this storm, but the areas in between were between 10-20
  18. LibertyBell
    Don, do you have a number for Hicksville? That's the one I read was 51" of snow.
  19. LibertyBell
    It would be interesting to see if the increase (if there is one) at JFK has matched ISP or is more like NYC and EWR and has leveled off some.
  20. LibertyBell
    But if you go by "hot days"-- defined as the number of days with the most highs of 90 or higher, that peaked in the 90s didn't it? Do you think we'll challenge those records again at some point?
  21. LibertyBell
    Some of these late 80s early 90s winters weren't so bad, we would kill to have a winter like the one I described in the previous post (1990-91).

    1990-91 was such an underrated winter.... I remember these storms vividly, especially the one in February which was a huge surprise- a 36 hour snowstorm! WINTER OF 1990-91 Dec. 28, 1990 - Today's 7.2" snowfall (which began late last night) was the largest accumulation in nearly four years (since January 1987) - and the biggest December snowfall since 1960. Snow ended shortly before 11 AM. Jan. 11, 1991 - 5.7" of snow accumulated during the afternoon and evening before changing to rain overnight as temperature rose into the mid-30s (close to one inch of rain fell). Despite the changeover it was a record amount of snow for the date. Feb. 26, 1991 - A surprise snowstorm dumped 8.9" of wet snow, the biggest accumulation in eight years (since 17.6" buried the City on Feb. 11-12, 1983 ). Because the temperature was just above freezing for much of the day the snow didn't accumulate much on the streets or sidewalks. This was the winter's third snowfall of five inches or more.

    No, I don't know where people got the idea that clippers "went away"-- I see them every winter on weather maps-- it's just that they don't produce much around here, clippers mostly impact the midwest.
  24. LibertyBell
    Thanks! See this is the kind of stuff I miss: WINTER OF 1987-88 Jan. 4, 1988 - The City woke up on Monday to 5.8" of snow that fell overnight. Four days later a steady light snow fell throughout the day, accumulating an additional 5.4". Not a lot of snow and a very average winter, but this is perfect winter weather.

    Not bad, mine was 16 so far.
