I checked these out-- wild that the Northern Lights (and pink colored at that!) were visible as far south as Vernon, NJ and Erie, PA! I wonder what kind of camera settings are needed to capture these? Others in this list were from as far south as Missouri and Oklahoma! The best ones were of course from Scandanavia, the happiest place on Earth lol. https://spaceweathergallery2.com/index.php?&title=aurora&starting_point=0 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193381 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193317 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193266 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193125 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193290 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193535 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193525 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193514 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193511 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193510 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193492 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193316 https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=193487

It's probably not windmills or wind turbines, but whales are going further north than normal because of warmer waters and entering busier shipping lanes and getting into accidents.

it's why I hate skyscrapers. fortunately, we are changing the way we build them, using more opaque glass and turning the lights off at night so as not to interfere with night flying birds.

Newport Beach? Isn't that near LA in the OC? It's awesome they deserve it. Snow looks dirty here anyway lol

and it was so nice and sunny this morning

luck may be a factor but if the same thing occurs for several years, then it's probable something isn't being factored in; for example in the 80s, the NW Atlantic was abnormally cold, which led to fewer coastal storms. The more you increase sample size, the better you can analyze data to find causal factors. In very small sample sizes variability (or "luck") is more meaningful.

the interesting thing is that favorable patterns that produce and "favorable" patterns that don't produce seem to run in bunches, this is evidence that it isn't random....there is some outside variable that isn't being factored in, which makes the "favorable" pattern that doesn't produce less favorable than it might seem.

we gage winters by production. If it doesn't produce it's meaningless

The reason favorable patterns dont always work out is because you're missing something that needs to be factored in. Thats why they dont work out in bunches. It's not random, there is a pattern to it.

I guess this is why John (Tip) mentioned March 1888. March 1993 also occurred on these dates.

what dates are these potential storms?

Yes 107 from LGA in 1966 for the record high! ugh January 1996 was severely undermeasured so that 81" figure from LGA is probably much more accurate, note the differences between LGA (27") vs Central Park (21"). This isn't new for Central Park, they also undermeasured PD2 2003 (26" at JFK vs 20" at Central Park), February 1983 (20"+ at both JFK and LGA, 18" at Central Park), February 1969 (20"+ at both LGA and JFK, 15" at Central Park), February 1961 (25" at JFK and 24" at LGA, while only 16" at Central Park.)

Yes we see how inaccurate these totals are especially in these borderline events. I would guestimate that the 1.8 figure should probably be around 2.2 or 2.3

Don can you make a similar chart for all these locations for all of met winter? Thanks!

I guess if you count the entire area, though I am going with the 10" in New York City definition. We could switch that to MECS for NYC in which case that would still be valid lol

by the way two nights of northern lights, did you see anything last night?

anywhere where it was 4"+

Is KU measured by area of 10" snowfall plus the population under that area? I guess you could use the MECS definition and link that to 10" for any individual location and then keep HECS for 20" plus.

as you know I'm going with the lowest number for low records and the highest number for high records. As long as JFK remains below the record it's going to be historic, at 1.7" currently.

There have been no KU in March since 1993

thats not a snowstorm lol

I'm going with JFK numbers, 1.7 for JFK. For record lows always go with the lowest figure, for record highs always go with the highest figure.

You can also have a KU event for an individual location, which I would say has to be 10" or more. For example, a 10" event for Long Beach is a KU for Long Beach. 20" is HECS, so a 20" storm for Long Beach is an HECS for Long Beach.

Mt Pocono's record warmest winter was still below freezing lol

If you lower your expectations to 4 inch to 6 inch storms there's plenty of examples between mid March and mid April
