Oh I remember that storm sucked, I dont think anyone on Long Island got anything, north shore, south shore didn't matter in December 2005. We had a gradient storm of a different kind in February 2006 when NYC got 26 inches and out here we got like 13 lol. I actually dont remember January 1994 for anything but ice lol I dont remember February 1999 for anything at all.

I'm not sure how many want jackpots, but most people probably want a storm that doesnt change to rain and dumps at least 6 inches area wide..... at least 10 inches area wide would be ideal but beggars cant be choosers

Yup I saw a forecast today for like 1" of snow in NYC and 8-9" as close as Yonkers

Don dont strongly positive regimes of this time generally last around 6 weeks or so before breaking down? Also that 69 temp at JFK....was February 2018 the last time JFK hit 70 in February, and did it get to 75 that day there?

It's easier to do when it's not this active (like in the middle of the night) I literally get a bunch of notifications within a few seconds of each other during active times.

But wouldn't you consider all kinds of gradients....like what I mentioned in the previous post, you can have longitude gradients too, where JFK gets a lot more than NYC does, we had that in January and a few other times I remember. I think that's more common than the latitude gradient across the city.

I'm trying to remember the greatest difference I can think of....I think it was December 2009 when NYC had 10 inches of snow and JFK had 15 inches, so that was a gradient storm with the further east you go getting you more snow lol In that respect the January storm was a gradient storm too, because NYC had 8 inches while JFK had 13 inches. But the north/south gradient storms are actually less common....I can't remember too many of those because the distance between NYC and JFK isn't enough to create a large gradient of that kind (its more east west than it is north south)

I hate winter storm warnings and just the terminology "winter storm" because snow and ice can occur in any season besides summer. I think we need a separate warning system for snow and it needs to start at either 10 or 12 inches of snow and get rid of the terminology of " winter storms completely. Keep everything separate-- snow storms, ice storms and frozen starts (which would be a mixture)

I'm going to use the old line and ask.....aren't all storms gradient storms? lol

wow thats interesting, it stayed just below freezing here both days. It must matter where on the south shore you are, the farther east you go the higher the temps. Another example is March 1993, when JFK got 12 inches of snow and Oceanside got 10 inches....as soon as you went east of Oceanside the amounts dropped off

Russia, China and Cuba are just as bad letting fossil fuel cartels run their entire political systems. It's not about politics actually, it's about letting the rich control everything. The rich need to be devalued so their money means nothing when it comes to power-- in short the influence of money needs to be completely removed from politics, because money corrupts and eventually leads to oligarchy, which the US either is already or is well on the way to becoming according to several studies

thanks! I'm looking at it now as well as passing it on to others who invest in green stocks

companies need to be kept out of politics and be regulated so they aren't allowed to get too big or have too much power-- and when they do, break them up

best thing is the one with a strong welfare state and cap birth rates to 2 per family also keep religion out of politics thats more important than most people realize

we should be using more nuclear power not methane (I refuse to use the euphemism "natural" gas) we should cut greenhouse gases AND sanction and punish both China and India until they are forced to do the same and Brazil for what they're doing to the Amazon

lucky 13th month lol

best countries for the environment hands down are costa rica, panama and bhutan all are carbon negative want to fix the planet, stop chopping down trees, stop overbreeding and stop expanding cities also good for air quality

JFK's record for the month and for the DJF period has to be around 75 isn't it?

JFK 68 AND NO SEA BREEZE I WANT THIS FOR THE SUMMER

and no dumb sea breeze

JFK 68 degrees, definitely the warmest and nicest day of the entire winter. I hope we get this kind of wind direction in the summer

You've got to talk to the lady and ask her how far she is willing to go. You said she's open to moving north right? But not that far north? If you can't get that far north getting into higher elevations is a suitable substitute.

thats a good idea, I see that the city has some plans to do this by 2030 with 30% more green, and the extra benefit is more healthy, fresh food.

then theres Jan 1994 and VD 2007 which are all frozen everywhere (in our local region anyway) it's simply a matter of chance where that frozen line sets up

No it's not...it's the truth about LATITUDE! The further north you are the more snow you will normally get lol. I can't believe you would be surprised by this.
