    NYC got 20 inches with that storm. New England was mostly rain but had hurricane force winds.
  2. LibertyBell
    Yes it is, but I've always been jealous of what they get vs NYC and W LI They're a local coastal jackpot zone
  3. LibertyBell
    That was the storm that made up for the early Feb 2010 disaster that gave Toms River 24 inches and us 50 miles to the north just 2 inches, got the Feb record despite that.

    one of my favorite of all time! the way that rain/snow line set up was highly reminiscent of the Blizzard of 1888 (ever seen a snowfall map of that?) and the Millenium storm in Dec 2000!
  5. LibertyBell
    any idea why the snowfall forecast was such a big bust?
  6. LibertyBell
    Monmouth county? It does a lot, there's a local maximum there and they average more snow than NYC (around 30 inches or a little over). For the Boxing Day blizzard Dec 2010 they had 30" We only got that here in Jan 2016. I'm jealous of them even though I'm north of them. Storms like Feb 1961 (25 inches here vs 15 inches NYC) , Feb 94, Millenium storm 2000, etc, include storms that mixed but delivered higher snowfall totals on the south shore of LI (I use JFK totals) vs NYC. More total precip makes up for some mixing.

    and the big black out! didnt have that again until 2004..... and then in Sandy that one was the longest- 25 hours
  8. LibertyBell
    I remember seeing images from the north with snow looking like mountain ranges with cars driving in the "valleys" I wonder what the highest annual average snowfall total is from a location at sea level?

    and early season heat! lots of extremes there. 1977 had the second highest temp recorded in NYC at 104, tied in 2011.
  10. LibertyBell
    yup and this time he's going for 5-9, down from 6-10 yesterday

    GEPS? you mean the para?

    Lee Goldberg just called out Upton, it was awesome. He said Mt Holly handled it right with the Winter Storm Warning and Upton divided the storm into two different time periods (Thursday and Friday) when in fact most of the event will occur on Thursday. He said better coordination is needed between the offices and what Upton did was "confusing."

    forgot about the record cold lol. I cant help but think if storms like Dec 1992 and Feb 1989 occurred in today's climate there'd be a lot more snow. I mean if you superimpose the tracks of those storms compared to what we've had this season, you'd say those should be big snowstorms for us.
  14. LibertyBell
    I guess you dont like early April snow to hold back the allergy season
  15. LibertyBell
    I liked the storm in 1992 a lot better where we got 8-10 inches and there was much less both east and west of us that was a 30 hour snowstorm here!
  16. LibertyBell
    do they get coastal storms more intense than ours? I wonder why Tokyo doesn't get more snow lol
  17. LibertyBell
    it sounds like you experienced the same cut off we did. The airport itself had some snow, it might have been 8 or 10. But the cut off really was that extreme
  18. LibertyBell
    that must have been 1999 in 1998 we had less than one inch for the entire winter until 5" a surprise snowfall on the first day of spring.
  19. LibertyBell
    what went wrong is they got the forecast wrong lol, overreliance on unreliable models for our loss.
  20. LibertyBell
    Feb 1989 predicted to be 6-8 but it was all virga, 20 inches ACY, 10 inches PHL and 2-5" on the eastern end of LI, nothing west of ISP. Dec 1989 also predicted to be a 6-8 event in a historically cold month but it warmed up during the storm and we got 90% rain lol
  21. LibertyBell
    yes a similar thing happened in 10-11 but January was much snowier and colder that time.
  22. LibertyBell
    This is a great thing hopefully now people will start doing some actual thinking instead of being enso fundamentalists, which is why long range forecasts have always bene so inaccurate.
  23. LibertyBell
    this is a lot better than the "colder" arctic shots of the 80s, we have much more snow than we did back then because the arctic shots dont cover the entire nation and theres an active storm track on their boundaries.
  24. LibertyBell
    a few years ago (also in a "la nina") we had four snowstorms in March and one in April.
  25. LibertyBell
    I think the 11 year cycle will be more likely than late season cold- 1977 might be a better analog if you're going to use the 70s.
