  1. exactly-- and I say bring it on. Even if it's frontloaded they end up being some of our best winters in history
  2. Less back door cold fronts is definitely a great thing once it can't snow anymore bring on the HEAT!
  3. I think it will our last really good winter was a la nina after an el nino and so were 95-96 and 10-11
  4. I'm going to weenie every post you make in your entire life, people like you, with no knowledge of climate change have no part in that discussion.... stay in your lane.

      This is exactly why you got booted from OT, keep it up and I'll make sure you get 5 posted too.

  5. This is exactly why there are plans to dump aerosols (SO2 specifically) into the atmosphere every year starting in 2030.
  6. la nina after el nino..... so it follows our pattern of very snowy winters that happen in la ninas that come after el ninos (even when the prior el nino was not snowy). Next winter may be significantly more snowy.
  7. and also more extensive in terms of coverage too? Was that a weak el nino or weak la nina? I don't remember, but I do know we had two big snowstorms that winter and a couple of moderate ones too.
  8. 1895-96 was the one with the greatest March on record for snowfall wasn't it? Nothing in December and only 3" in January, that must have been the greatest backloaded winter on record to get to 46" on the season lol.
  9. Feb 2016 had some very cold days (below zero) and snowfall opportunities, and big snowfall east of Manhattan
  10. but 1966-67 which was one of our best winters, did not, right Don? I would love to see a repeat of that winter
  11. Maybe not so fast. The last two springs have been warm and dry. I think going from el nino to la nina we will roast and likely be dry too. Of course dry is relative in our current climate, but hopefully we wont be getting more than an inch of rain per week.
  12. How does this compare with the Texas cold shot from a few years ago, Don? That was our last nice winter for snowfall too.
  13. Well we have had warm and thankfully dry springs the last 2 years, so let's see if we can do a threepeat.
  14. you have clearly lost your mind, outside of winter, there doesn't need to be anything but sunny weather with low humidity. It can rain once a week, but only at night.
  15. omg forget 1995-96, 2010-11, and whatever else winter any of us have ever experienced, the above is the greatest winter of all time and there is no question in my mind that there was over 100" of snow areawide!
  16. I remember reading about this-- this may have been the coldest winter on record for the northeast! I wonder how much snow fell? 100" here? 1780 - The coldest day of the coldest month of record in the northeastern U.S. A British Army thermometer in New York City registered a reading of 16 degrees below zero. During that infamous hard winter the harbor was frozen solid for five weeks, and the port was cut off from sea supply. (David Ludlum)
  17. I was so glad to get my first and only 30"+ snowstorm before the pattern went to hell.
  18. Based on statistics alone it's very difficult not to get at least a light to moderate event in February, regardless of the pattern. I'd say at least one 2-4 inch event.
  19. what happened to the late February period everyone was talking about? it's very rare not to get at least a light to moderate event in February no matter how mild the month is overall. what are the odds of not getting at least a 2-4" event in the entire month of February? I would have to say not more than 20%?
  20. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2024/01/14/solar-max-sun-activity-storms-aurora/ The solar maximum extends from January through October and has been ramping up since last year.
  21. How much do you think the recent solar maximum has to do with this Chris? The sun is an extremely active phase of its long term cycle (the solar maximum extends from 2023 through the first half of 2024). https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2024/01/14/solar-max-sun-activity-storms-aurora/
  22. that map says 46 degrees though? that's not extremely warm at all
  23. we need to declare war on the Pacific Ocean and start dumping liquid helium into it (as well as into the Atlantic)
  24. Maybe most of SE Asia! How much more powerful would it have been than the tsunami that hit SE Asia on Christmas Eve 2004? That killed hundreds of thousands of people! Can energy release of different types be compared?
  25. This is all fascinating stuff and the idea that impact events can stimulate volcano formation! I have heard about the Australia event is that the one that might have created a genetic bottleneck? I thought it was in New Zealand but it could be either. It supposedly wiped out 10% of the hominids alive at that time and created the largest volcanic eruption we know of on this planet?
