    Having to wear sunglasses because we're not used to such bright skies!

    Hopefully we got all the clouds out of the way so April isn't a repeat of January.... it would suck to have cloud cover on the day of the eclipse.

    the majority of the forum are cows?

    they're going back to coal for some odd reason. China is doing that too, which is even more of a concern because of their population. They think they can go to coal now and then reverse course in time to be carbon neutral by 2060.

    I mean it'll probably happen and within our lifetimes but any new tech costs a ton at first and take decades to deploy on a widespread basis.

    giving up nuclear for coal is like punching yourself in the nose repeatedly to stop yourself from sneezing.

    It will be interesting to see how it will work out in a warmer North America compared to those years. It can work, just probably not in the same extreme way as those years.

    It might take until the 0z, we know about the infamous 6z/18z runs of the GFS lol

    I heard that Mormons are great surfers!

    It just seemed like an oddly exact amount "15-23" inches here and "25-35" inches inland. Most forecasts would just be like "higher than average chances of wintry weather" or something like that. It makes me think the Fox hype machine wrote that with little or no input from Nick Gregory.
  11. LibertyBell
    Did you see the map that was posted on that page? I mean it's Fox, so we can't expect much, but still. I'm not sure how much input Nick Gregory had in writing that, more likely the Fox hype machine did it all on their own.

    "a major snowstorm or two" along with a map showing "15-23" inches of snow over the coast and "25-35" inches inland, sounds like hype on a cartoonish scale to me.
  13. LibertyBell
    even "at least another 15 inches of snow" sounds like hype, that's many times more snow than we've had in the last 2 years.

    I mean, it has to be right sometime..... right?!

    it's interesting how ACY, which is 100 miles south of us, did better in 2022. That reminds me of an 80s type winter.
  16. LibertyBell
    there were people who knew about it in the 70s, but the knowledge wasn't widely disseminated... you can guess why
  17. LibertyBell
    This is also why we don't see near normal snowfall winters anymore, everything seems to be either well below normal or well above normal. Ditto with individual snowstorms, it's either 1-3 inches or 6"+

    so much more snow there, but the summers suck

    That's the thing, when you learn about all the varied and wonderful features of our planet, the first thing you want to do is travel and see them for yourself. It's a pity that the income one can obtain from fascinating fields like this doesn't match the endless amount of curiosity it stimulates.

    wow nice find, I really wish they showed NYC data before 1900 but I like how our snowfall averages back then were over 30" per year for those earlier decades. I wonder if the snow was measured differently back then?

    That was one of my all time favorite classes. Oceanography is absolutely fascinating. I especially liked reading about how land masses and oceans change over milenia. Researching how whales used to walk on land hundreds of millions years ago and how they are finding their fossils now in the deserts of Egypt and up high in the Himalayas was absolutely incredible. Tethys the ocean existed where the Middle East exists today and there was no Mediterranean Sea back then either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethys_Ocean Meteorology and quantum mechanics have this in common lol-- both have tremendous amounts of uncertainty.

    I looked at climate stats for Syracuse for April 8th and I was surprised how many mild days there have been there on that day. It seems it's warmer there on that day than it is here.... probably because it's far inland.
  23. LibertyBell
    Probably more likely than not, I planned a trip to north of Syracuse anyway, it would suck if it was a sunny day and we missed it.
  24. LibertyBell
    That's absolutely amazing considering we had 4 straight years of 40"+ between 02-03 and 05-06 That 20 year period was better for snowfall than any 20 year period since the early 1900s.

    Here's something I want to know, with this cyclical aspect of the equation, is the cycle of the exact same length each time or is there some variation? I think there has to be some variation because the number of years in each group changes somewhat with each iteration of the cycle. So it was 15 years between 1955-1969 and 19 winters between 2000 and 2018. The period in between could be a transitional phase between the two opposite ends of the cycle.
