Yes, sort of like how we got to 40 inches in 2005-06. That event in April 2006 (during the day I might add)- was actually more like 1-2 inches here.
Do you have video from that?
Having a -AO or a -NAO seems to be meaningless because 1) most of them occur in spring and 2) it seems most of the time we get the south based or east based kind that aren't that good for us.
This storm seems to be greatly delayed, I figured it would be raining here hours ago.
Doesn't delayed onset of precip, a slower storm, mean more time for the cold air to catch up?
whats your opinion of the future....looking years down the line....will we see a lot more of these positive NAO/AO because of the warming of the Atlantic that you described and will we see a lot more La Ninas because of a similar warming occurring in the Western Pacific?
Have you seen the latest IPCC report that projects a 14% increase in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 rather than the required 45% decrease needed to avert catastrophic consequences, Don?
why does this always happen when Spring begins? I remember you mentioned this a few years ago that -NAO are becoming much more rare in winter and much more common in the spring.
our locals have upper snowfall amounts to 1-3 inches....all the way to Nassau County. Said that if the changeover happens around 10-11 we could get 3-4 inches but if it happens after 12 it will likely be less than an inch because snow will shut off around 4 PM
I know but I've always wondered what causes storms to become so strong up there and why it doesn't happen down here, where our waters are warmer and the gulf stream actually passes close by.
