    what's the highest we've ever had? 2020 or 2005?
  2. LibertyBell
    I'm surprised 2020 isn't in this list

    unfortunately we have been talking about ocean acidification and a mass extinction event (which we have already started), it's happened in the past, where up to 90% of life on the planet goes extinct as nature is trying to balance things out. ocean hypoxia is quite frightening, can you imagine all that life dying wow reaching temperature thresholds like 1.5 C and 2.0 C are the wrong things to talk about, the real danger is a runaway chemical process after reaching a tipping point or threshold and that runaway chemical process is what will cascade into something we can never come back from. the problem is not simply of temperatures, but of a runaway cascading chemical process from which there is no return

    Yes I read that sea level is rising fastest along the east coast and the gulf coast, it's not a uniform rise everywhere

    hopefully dry and warm like the last two springs. March can be wet but once April is here dry and warm is preferred.
  6. LibertyBell
    wow, so we had cold leading into the snow event then?
  7. LibertyBell
    That's what I thought, this has happened in the past during mass extinction events....

    and Central Park was the only one who got 5" from what I remember, the rest of us were more like 2-3" Still that was big in a season with only 0.5" It sucks though, it would have been far and away the lowest snowfall total ever if it wasn't for that one storm at the end. So historic in that sense.

    It makes a lot of sense and here's another caution flag and this is for those who think nature will balance everything out on its own.... think of what it will take to "recalibrate" and what kind of effects that recalibration will have on us as a species.

    and this is the first time they've ever averaged a winter above freezing? wow-- I didn't realize you could have that near our latitude, I thought you'd have to go up into the Dacks at least to average that cold....
  11. LibertyBell
    He's probably thinking something like March 1998, and that was about as marginal as it gets lol. Did we ever get below freezing during that storm?
  12. LibertyBell
    Yep same here, the only snow now left are the small piles on the edge of the parking lot.
  13. LibertyBell
    Thats impressive... 06-07 and 07-08 were pretty bad too, but then we got to normal snowfall in 08-09

    What causes ocean acidification, Don? Does the excess CO2 get absorbed by the oceans and make them more acidic?
  15. LibertyBell
    Really? I thought it was supposed to cool down into the 40s by March 1 after being in the 60s at the end of February.
  16. LibertyBell
    wow, the amount of added heat needed to create these kind of long term changes must be absolutely amazing
  17. LibertyBell
    It reminds me of February 1989 we were forecast to get 6-8 and got nothing meanwhile ACY got 19"
  18. LibertyBell
    I really like how amounts outside of NJ were also plotted.
  19. LibertyBell
    I think Long Island (even this part) had more snow than parts of Maine that season..... I am 100% sure we had more snow than Binghamton.
  20. LibertyBell
    in other words, a tipping point may have been reached.... or breached might be a better way of putting it.
  21. LibertyBell
    It would be interesting to see when on average we get our last 1.0" storm and our last 0.1" storm, probably around March 20-22? I'd bet we might have already had our last 1.0" storm, not sure about last 0.1" though.
  22. LibertyBell
    How much did ACY get in that storm?
  23. LibertyBell
    This took a HUGE AMOUNT of energy to increase the temperature so much for a whole month so quickly over such a large area. Is there any way to perform calculations to figure out the total amount of energy increase necessary to do this?
  24. LibertyBell
    it's wild how bad 2015-16 was up your way, we had over 40" (and two moderate events besides the historic blizzard.) funny thing is I did a quick count of +/- and unless my count is wrong you have 9 seasons above normal and 9 seasons below normal (I didn't take into account the amount of deviation though.)
  25. LibertyBell
    Wow that was our last great snowstorm here, got a foot of snow!
