He doesn't want it in summer though so I would love to see an endless 100 plus summer torch NOW that would be a real torch instead of a weaksauce 60 degree winter "torch"

Makes me want to look into geoengineering to put an end to La Nina once and for all-- especially the multiyear events. I went back into that simulation and programmed ENSO to alternate between weak la nina and weak el nino with no multi year events and no neutral events and it spit out an average snowfall of 35 inches a year for NYC. Slowing down the gulf stream by 30 pct on top of that raised that average to 40 inches. Time to put an end to these multiyear la nina events once and for all.

I remember with both of those storms the snow was already done by the time I woke up
-
Look at all that heat over Siberia
-
I think it would be a really nice place to get back to nature and find some peace and solace far away from all the noise and commotion- and still be able to drive to all the noise and commotion when that was desired. Can't think of many places like that.

It always seems to be the March storms that seem to be the most iffy. I just remembered March 2014 that was another one.... weren't models predicting a foot of snow up to a day before the storm and by the time it came around to storm time it was apparent we'd get fringed with 1-2"? The other one that sticks out in my mind is the April Fools' Day storm in 1997, forecasts were for 8-16 inches of snow if I remember correctly, and we ended up with 1-2 inches.

1970s and 1980s especially, I'll never forget those 2 amazing winters we had in the 1990s, 1993-94 an 1995-96, they made up for all the bad years that came before.
-
Actually there is one exception I remember....Jan 2016. I remember he was pretty excited about that event for NYC and even said the higher (2 foot amounts) had a good chance of verifying. It's the one time he was like that.

If these forums were around back then we may have been saying some very similar things. I can only imagine what this board would have been like in Feb 1989 and Dec 1989. It would have been like a horror movie come to life.
-
Yeah and I walked to school, it was very cold back then in January, so whatever fell stuck around or melted and then refroze as ice which was the worst. I hated those cold dry Januarys.
-
I remember they were both night time storms and I didn't see a single flake of snow fall, they both occurred entirely at night and were very quick moving.
-
What about March 2001 and January 2008?
-
I was thinking he should surprise his new bride with it as a wedding gift. "HEY HONEY, LOOK WHAT I GOT FOR YOU AS A WEDDING GIFT?! A LOG CABIN IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WHERE IT SNOWS FROM OCTOBER THRU MAY! YOU CAN HELP ME SHOVEL IT TOO! DOESN'T THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY? JUST LOOK OUT FOR THE BEARS THEY'RE REALLY HUNGRY THIS TIME OF YEAR!" (new wife starts looking for a divorce lawyer.....)
-
Since you said that these changes occur in 30 day increments are you thinking we'll have a colder and possibly snowy March after a mild February?
-
It was a T and thats it. It didn't even snow hard enough to accumulate when it was snowing.
-
If it's 60+ (my definition of a torch, anything less is merely mild), it's great because I'm going to shut my heating off. I'm sure most would be ecstatic to save on heating costs. And if we get one big snowstorm to end January I'm sure most would be happy and have no further use of any cold weather. We must look at all the positives of warm weather after such a bitterly cold month. Just need that one big snowstorm and winter would've served its purpose and can go away.

I dont know where JFK got their 0.1 from but absolutely nothing stuck here.
-
It took an extremely anomalous 2 decades (2000s and 2010s) to get us there though. Most other decades were extremely lackluster. We just accept that we simply aren't far enough north and are way too close to the ocean to be a snowy city. Gotta be Boston on north to get the really good stuff.
-
Move to the Poconos dude. You can still get to the city in 2 hours and the annual snowfall average in Mt Pocono is around 70 inches. It snows there in ANY pattern. Right off I-80 too and a 2 hour straight shot from there to the city. They get noreasters, they get clippers, they even get lake effect snow. It makes a big difference being over 2000 ft above sea level. Also the summer nights there are really cool and my place there has never had or needed any air conditioning. You don't deal with the high population density or all the pollution of having millions of people around either.
-
warm and dry is better than either
-
a big fat T here changed over around 10 and ended around 12 lol
-
I've come to expect around 22 inches as the average here. If you look up 30 year 30" snowfall averages we don't seem to get them anymore-- the last 30 year average barely missed.
-
well thats a nice round number?
-
also lower elevation and higher humidity and urbanization all means snowpack goes bye bye quickly
-
30 inches though dude and memories for a life time.
