it does make sense though with shortening wavelengths
-
I mean it could be delayed to March 15 and we'd still be okay
-
National blend of models has JFK with 1.2" and Central Park with 2.1"
-
a rude awakening after a very mild January and February in 1990 and then back to warmth by mid March and then snow in early April lol
-
wow only 1992 even got into double digits, and the comeback that year was entirely in March wasn't it? I remember we had two decent sized March storms that year. One was about 6 inches and the other one was close to 4 inches. The 6 inch one was less at JFK as the conditions were marginal and it occurred in the day time. The later one was colder and happened at night but it underperformed, it was supposed to be 5-8 but we ended up with 3-5
-
It's a pity it doesn't come after 2/28 though it would fun to see a nearly snowless DJF and then get it all in March and April lol. The perfectionist in me hates that it's coming on February 28th.
-
it's bad for measuring temperatures in the summer though as it doesn't meet the required distance to be away from foliage and especially trees and it's also really bad with measuring winds. I agree with the other things you said, it's a very pretty park.
-
I really wish they'd start measuring snow at New Haven again, I think it would be useful for both the north shore of Suffolk County and for eastern CT. Because we all know Groton is a snowhole too lol
-
Thanks lol, it really is too far north for me. I'm more of an east-west guy ;-)
-
Prospect Park for the win! Central Park is too far north ;-)
-
Thanks, I was thinking of Bridgeport too, but they undermeasure snow so White Plains seems to be better.
-
If it goes south of us it won't change to rain.
-
Whats the difference between GEPS and EPS lol. Why all these acronyms lol-- why can't we just call them the Euro Ensembles and GFS ensembles?
-
It's good to get all the extremes in. I used to use White Plains to gage Northern Bronx and Northern Nassau County weather and that's probably not that accurate. Bronx Zoo is really good, now we just need something for Staten Island lol
-
I dont think that is going to happen....it might be 5" on parts of the north shore and more like 2" on the south shore
-
Since we don't have airports in every borough I imagine we could use parks in each borough that don't have a large airport, which is everyone but Queens lol. So 4 parks and 2 airports should cover it (since Queens has 2 airports.) I nominate Prospect Park for Brooklyn, and then we just need to find a good park to use in The Bronx and in Staten Island.
-
I mean it's possible, TWC has 5"-8" on the same small sliver of the north shore of Long Island, so I guess they're going with that map.
-
TWC has a small sliver of 5"-8" (purple) in their forecast map on the central part of the north shore of Long Island, basically from Huntington to about Mt Sinai.
-
what do you make of this big difference in the GFS vs the other models, what's causing it?
-
I wonder if this will be similar to February 2008. That one came in at night too and same time of year of course.
-
Hey I never said I didn't like parks though, I just happened to like Prospect Park more because I grew up there and went there all the time.
-
Indeed that will hold from 1997-98 because this is going to happen on the last full night and day of February. But that is just calendar gymnastics so it doesn't really matter, it's the record for the whole season which actually matters.
-
How much is the difference between Central Park and JFK on the EPS members and the National Blend of Models, Don?
-
It would be interesting to see the JFK low for this morning, they cool well on raditional cooling nights. Of course the temperature will recover quickly today, I have the sun shining in my face already lol.
-
Great night for radiational cooling...but the recovery today will be just as quick lol.
