It always pays to be very cautious around the lower borders of those snowfall totals, note how quickly it goes from 3 inches to 0 lol. It's much better to be under those purple shadings of course.
-
Well that damage sounds horrible, but aside from that it sounds exciting. Just keep in mind you don't get that kind of thing in late season events down here. An inch or 2 max is probably the ceiling for this down here.
-
Yes, I think that's why it happens in those places, the same reason why the big snowstorm last year hit those areas much harder than NYC, NYC is too tucked in for its own good.
-
I mean 1) 18z run 2) it's probably a good thing with the mixing concerns you want a few suppressed runs.
-
I would put the chances of a norlun hitting NYC or here at under 1% they always happen either south or north of here. In 40 plus years we've never had one here.
-
Yes and also higher winds can result in lower ratios. This is just a handy way of using surface temps to try and predict snowfall amounts lol.
-
With our luck that norlun is going to hit either Toms River or the Hamptons lol.
-
I would think that more likely for the noreaster next week.
-
February 28th? I got 1.5-2 inches in that too, I think that one was snow throughout the storm though.
-
This is excellent Don, but wouldn't this apply to the entire winter? I made the following chart 37 or above-- doesn't accumulate 33-36 5:1 30-33 10:1 28-30 12:1 25-33 15:1 20-25 20:1 15-20 25:1 under 15 40:1 Only the January 2004 event fulfilled the highest snow ratio category.
-
what do you think of the 2-3 inches right down to JFK lol it reminds me of January 2008 (but that was in January!) when we had snow here but all sides of us were raining lol Busted heavy snow warning, the last one ever issued.
-
I like how there's a stripe of 2-3 inches that goes right down to JFK lol
-
I'll be happy if it flips over by 2 am

Lee Goldberg on what happens after the March 13-14 noreaster, he just said "This is winter's last chance to do something. After this big storm, the weather looks benign and will warm up."

I'm dubious of 1-3 inch amounts with that low temp of 33.
-
moral of the story : we need to lower air regulations to counteract climate change lol I remember a similar thing happened when the Clean Air Act took effect in the 70s.
-
thats why you cant be too optimistic about this period, everything is down to nowcasting rain snow lines
-
the 1960s were nowhere near as great as what we had in the 2000s. 4 straight 40"+ winters and then 09-10 and 10-11 back to back and then 13-14 and 14-15 back to back WOW
-
that was different, after 93-94 and 95-96 were so amazing I didnt really care or even remember 96-97 through 01-02 The Yankees were winning lots of world series with the greatest baseball dynasty of all time too, so winter weather didn't matter that much after 96.
-
it may be too late by the time it's our "turn" again expect rapidly declinining snowfall averages from the 2050s onwards.

1717 - On Fishers Island in Long Island Sound, 1200 sheep were discovered to have been buried under a snow drift for four weeks. When finally uncovered, one hundred sheep were still alive. (The Weather Channel) wow so we did get buried in 1717.....literally! Glad to hear they were rescued, I wonder how much snow fell here? also interesting how frigid 1996 was so late in the season and 2016 went back to warm lol
-
big difference in mid march and later lol
-
There was a norlun during the April 1982 blizzard? Wasn't there a norlun in February 1990 on eastern Long Island too?
-
wouldn't that be mixed precip ? how about you draw a line that goes south from montauk and east from cape may and the point of their intersection is our benchmark :-)
