    1968-69 was the only other one with Arctic cold in Seattle in an el nino, maybe that means something for snow in February for us this year lol. 1968-69 is proof that you can have both a snowy NW and snow NE in the same season! 1966-67 is an even better example of that! I think we should get used to this, as I don't believe we are going to be getting a big west coast ridge anytime soon, so might as well look for ways to have both a snowy west and east coast.

    DC got clocked that month

    wow was that the record snowiest winter in south NJ? the only other time I've seen snowfall of 90+ inches at our latitude at the coast was in 1995-96 when parts of Suffolk County reported between 90-96 inches of snow!

    it wasn't just near LGA, I live near JFK and the winds were rocking last night even after midnight!

    wow back in the days when the AO and NAO both used to be extremely negative.

    Walt, will the Poconos be done with the snow squalls by noon time?
  7. LibertyBell
    a foot of snow from Brooklyn on east.
  8. LibertyBell
    especially since it is a nice photogenic all day snow

    The way things are looking we may have our coldest weather of the entire winter overall this week.

    What we worry about with arctic air is suppression, an out to sea track. It seems as though it can indeed be "too cold to snow" if the arctic air suppresses the storm to our south. This was spectacularly the case with the first storm in February 2010, I'll never forget how close we were to having an HECS. I would much much rather have a foot of snow followed by an inch of rain (or even moreso an inch of rain followed by a foot of snow like we did in the final storm of February 2010), than missing out on an HECS by 50 miles. In many ways that first February 2010 storm was much more painful than even March 2001 was.

    The only other el nino on that list is 1968-69...I wonder if this means anything for February? Thoughts?

    I was going to say, his ego was his downfall, he was actually assuming you (or anyone else for that matter) actually thought his forecast was worth "copying." ffs his ego is so big he didn't even take a second to think that the pool of analogs would be small in a strong to very strong el nino.

    Thanks, my sister will be driving in from the Poconos, using I-80, and she said she wants to leave by noon which means she would get here around 3.
  14. LibertyBell
    Do you have a timeframe of when this might happen (morning, afternoon, evening, etc.?)
  15. LibertyBell
    Was that the 12 hr blizzard where we had whiteout conditions all day? I loved that storm, I consider if a half sized version of January 2016 lol
  16. LibertyBell
    Yep, I remember one time it was close to 50 (in March I think?) and we had snow showers. It would be nice to know the highest temperature at which it's ever snowed.

    I mean when I'm online I'm thinking of looking at weather maps, talking on social media, gaming, or reading something related to science or photography usually.... I only watch TV before I go to sleep. It's a way to relax your mind and not think. That's the only time I ever watch anything (sports included)

    My house just shook, it had to be 60 mph + We just got the same gust you did earlier, so JFK must have some impressive gust reports too.
  19. LibertyBell
    Oh that's right! Thanks, Ed. Interesting thing about Donna is, it made landfall east of Gloria but the surge was higher in the city-- is this because it had a much larger eye? Both were Cat 1 at our latitude I think? I don't remember what the result of the reanalysis was in either case. and as an aside OMG the wind is really bad right now.

    Since we're talking sports, I have too lingering questions that no one has ever been able to answer for me. In tennis, why does the scoring go 15, 30, 40? Why isn't it 15, 30, 45? (Maintaining multiples of 15). And in baseball, why does it only take 3 strikes to strike a hitter out but it takes 4 balls to walk a hitter?

    Hey I bought a weather radio from Radio Shack too. Best $25 I ever spent lol. TWC got a lot greedier when they were bought by IBM, they've tightened the screws on WU too (which they bought.) They now charge you an arm and a leg to download your own data via third party app (I used one to keep spreadsheet data on different PWS) and it's very very expensive.

    What happened on 9/12/60? I thought December 1992 was first until Sandy superseded it.
  23. LibertyBell
    it's crazy it's so bad, neither of these storms can even hold a candle to how powerful December 1992 was.

    One of these years, amphibious vehicles will be mandatory in our part of the country.
  25. LibertyBell
    The winds today were definitely stronger. Does anyone have the numbers from JFK? Thanks!
