    It reminds me of what they're saying about the Alps, bare ground, no good skiing for years now.

    Yes, it was a very bad (meaning very good) winter for us lol. I remember not being able to shovel the snow because the sleet and freezing rain had packed it in very hard. I could walk on it without leaving any marks in it (which is fun) but there was no way to shovel any of it. We had a thaw later in January when it was in the 50s but we went back to snowy in early February with those two big storms. Then we had another thaw a week after that and then back to more snow in early March. That was the first season that I measured snowfall and it was close to 50" and that's very similar to JFK's numbers for that season. I was about a 5 minute drive south of Sunrise Hwy back then. The first snowfall that season was in December, we had two snowfalls that month and then the icy/sleety/snowy January and then the big thundersnow events in February and then the snowy early March.

    Feb 9-14 is a famous period for historic snowfalls.

    This is close to the ideal location for a coastal storm for us. If you want to know what the ideal location is, it would be due east of Cape May and due south of Cape Cod. Draw those two lines and where they intersect is where we want the center of the low to be.

    and 1989 would be an ominous analog lol

    For some reason this reminds me of the portal to Hell. Do you know where that's located? In Siberia lol. There have long been reports of mass deaths of animals there, as poisonous gases emanate from the opening.

    Yes I remember this happened in February 2008 and that storm mostly happened in the middle of the night too. It ended as drizzle and we got around 6-8 inches. It was a nice surprise storm.

    It had some interesting microclimates. The western part of the south shore did a lot better, we had close to 50" that winter (JFK had 47 inches if I remember correctly.) There was that amazing ice storm in January which was historic with close to 2 inches of ice (it never got to freezing here in that storm), and in February we had those amazing back to back storms with thundersnow. 8 inches with the first storm and 11 inches with the second storm.

    Don do you think the Poconos will get 6-8 inches out of this?

    This was my thought a few days ago too, the closer to the coast storm 1 is, the closer to the coast storm 2 will be.

    and changing back to snow? They are saying the change to rain will only last a couple of hours on News12 before it thumps back to snow and high winds for the afternoon and a rapid drop in temperatures.

    Yeah people love to trash the NAM but it works really well when we have boundary layer issues as well as for big noreasters like Jan 2016. I hope they have a good replacement for it.

    I saw it mentioned that Pinatubo might have influenced the 1993-94 winter which was consistently much colder and snowier/icier than anyone ever expected (and with a very + NAO to boot!) I do know it made the summer of 1992 absolutely horrible-- it rained every day that summer.

    I'm not sure if this can be verified, but did the 2015-16 winter have the greatest departure between the highest temperature and the lowest temperature in DJF met winter?
  15. LibertyBell
    It's ironic with how mild last winter was we had two single digit arctic outbreaks
  16. LibertyBell
    2015-16 was the only winter on this list with decent snowfall totals.
  17. LibertyBell
    and 65 mph winds from the system from the prior Tuesday

    Good thing the accumulating snow will start after midnight lol
  19. LibertyBell
    If you're in Nassau County you're under a WWA for 1-3 inches of snow just like I am.

    no more snow showers, the sun has been out for an hour now but the wind is as strong as last night maybe even stronger! it's supposed to be very windy until 9 PM tonight 60 mph gusts?
  21. LibertyBell
    and Lucy takes Charlie Brown's football...... YET AGAIN!

    when it's really cold it doesn't matter how many clothes you wear though. my benchmark for heat is actually July 2010, that was enjoyable, low humidity and 100 degrees plus, I think even you were impressed with how it got so hot with so little humidity lol
  23. LibertyBell
    since Sandy happened? or maybe since August 2020
  24. LibertyBell
    no more snow showers, the sun has been out for an hour now
