  1. better radiational cooling-- I've seen this before low humidity and clear skies, our temps drop This isn't the case at Islip though? Maybe they are more urbanized
  2. JFK not on this list Don? I think we'll get this record too Record high is in the mid 70s though? I hope it stays sunny through at least early to mid afternoon maybe we could see 70
  3. The main sensible differences between this year and 89-90 are-- it was colder that season (even when it was warm it was still colder than it is now, and of course December was a lot colder and we had these near snowstorm busts too) and we had a Thanksgiving snowstorm.
  4. this winter is out of the 89-90 playbook I feel like I've been reliving it ever since late December, I was using that analog going all the way back to Christmas
  5. that late march fluke storm is what screwed it out of the lowest snowfall record, otherwise we would be competing with it instead Did you look at how crazy snowfall amounts were in the 90s-- 3 out of 4 years with less than 10 inches of snow sandwiched by two historic years with over 50 inches each lol
  6. It's pretty apparent that a good Pacific is way more important than NAO blocking, I've seen enough bad NAO blocks to know that they carry false advertizing. Give me a great Pacific over NAO blocking any day, week or year. I've seen plenty of nao blocks that didn't work out.
  7. It's awesome huh.....we have had like 3 events total one with zero accumulation, one with a light coating on some elevated surfaces and one with a solid coating but also only on elevated surfaces....none of these stayed on the ground more than an hour or two lol We also set the record for warmest January in recorded history and only three days with a low below freezing.
  8. 0.2 at JFK so close to perfect futility and it feels like spring now and planting has begun
  9. This is just like one extended December 2015, I've already begun planting. at JFK 10 of the last 35 seasons have had fewer than 10" It's more common to get less than 10" than it is to get 40" and almost as common as getting 30" Used to this now.
  10. How did your predictions do so far? I look forward to seeing everyone's verification scores at the end of the season. Do you do yours at the end of March or sometime in April? In the Northeast and especially the Lakes region outside of Buffalo but also along the coast, it really hasn't snowed much in a few years, businesses that involve snow have been shutting down and looking for other kinds of work as climate patterns shift (an example is how the lobster business is dwindling with warmer ocean temps and the lobsters have been moving north of Maine and into the coastal waters around the Maritime Provinces of Canada.)
