The easiest way to tell winter's over is that I sneezed five times today, had itchy eyes and saw and swatted a mosquito. Time to bring out the chemical weapons I guess.

It also feels worse when you see how well ACY did. Over 30" down there usually means over 40" up here. I would like to see all NYC totals in which ACY received over 30" of seasonal snowfall. I would say that two storms giving us most of the snow is fine as long as both are a foot plus lol.

Yeah we had 2 snowfall events that month-- I think that was the one in which the crane accident happened in Manhattan that killed a person. We had heavy snow back here that morning that dropped 4-6 in like 2-3 hours.

It isn't a mental "handicap" is what you're not understanding. It's a pattern of behavior. Autistic people (and I know of several) have above average intelligence but have certain behavior patterns which he's clearly exhibited for a sustained period of time (that's why he's 5-posted and still hands out 100s of weenies every day across multiple subforums.) You clearly don't know him. And maybe not to you, but to me, racism is the lowest of the low and he clearly showed that in referring specifically to two ACCOMPLISHED BLACK MEN. Is there some reason I have to keep pointing this out to you? The reputation of your subforum precedes you (only I think it's just certain people not the whole subforum that's at fault.)

That was the one in which the crane accident happened in NYC! We had heavy snow for most of the morning.

The superbowl storm? That was like 4-6 here

the GOAT until Jan 1996 came around

Locals are going with 3" tops just east of the city, so perhaps down here by JFK? How much does JFK need to reach 20" seasonal? I think less than 1"? What about LGA? You can't say it's been a bad winter if we reach 20"-- that's within our normal range.

Mixed/"Other" Hispanic/Asian combo. Big fan of Stevie Wonder's music, his album Songs in the Key of Life is considered one of the best albums ever made and I agree-- that kind of music is just never written anymore. and Ray Charles piano playing was off the charts great, right up there with the best pianists of the classical era.

It does make me wonder why aren't we conducting this research in the US too-- or are we and it just isn't being talked about?

yeah having known his shtick for a number of years, he actually deserves to be called a lot worse. And apparently you didn't notice that he specifically used TWO ACCOMPLISHED BLACK MEN in his comparison, so yeah he's racist too. That's the R word that should be used for him.

It's called he is an asshole and makes racist remarks and deserves a lot worse than that.

uhm you actually made a horrible comparison "R" has nothing to do with autism. The dude is a smart dude, he clearly has issues with people and trolls people and makes tonedeaf near-racist digs (or did you fail to notice he made a derogatory comment using two accomplished BLACK MEN?) This has nothing to with "R" and everything to do with his behavior for multiple years across multiple forums. He's a 5 posted guy who spends his entire day giving out 100s of weenies to everyone else and for what-- liking snow? So get your facts straight before you open your mouth, until then, stand down.

Same to you-- well I know people who have it, and that's typical behavior. It was an observation, nothing more. What was way worse was making derogatory comments about Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder, don't you think? The guy is a total ass and it's time to call him out on it-- don't be defending him, you just promote his behavior more. So go cry me a river for being "dickish" to him-- he deserves a hell of a lot worse than that. "R" has nothing to do with autism.

Just pointing out that what some troll wants will actually put the forum into a slumber for a few months. And guess what happened today, my allergies are back AND I saw my first mosquito. I guess it's time to start spraying for both weeds and mosquitoes.

Cold and dry is pretty annoying too. You brought some excellent examples from the late 80s and early 90s too. Was 89-90 up there for you too? 1979-1980 was horrible, and another one of those with October snow (all the way down to DC!) that did basically nothing afterwards. We basically had one shot to win the game with a HR and instead of hitting a HR it was a double and the runner was stranded on base (closest baseball comparison I can make to that blizzard lol.)

You really are autistic aren't you? Don't make fun of two of the greatest musical artists of all time dude. Their other senses more than made up for whatever you think they lacked.

Patterns typically have a limit on how long they last, I think he might be referring to return to cooler weather in March, how much cooler is the question. Blocking might actually be a detriment for central and northern NE.

Do you guys even need blocking? From what I recall as you go further north it doesn't really matter whether you have it or not.

there's a few that were worse 2001-02 is at the top for worst winters going by the WSI. 1997-98 is up there too. More recently 2011-12 makes the list, Octosnow notwithstanding.

looking at the locals they depicted snow from around 6 am to about 3 pm. I'm on the south shore of Long Island so this area probably has the best chance of hitting the 2 inch mark depicted on the local snowfall forecast maps that were posted.

any chance it could be an all day snow like let's say start at around 6 am and end at 6 pm? Snowing for 2-4 hours does nothing for me.

So the colder pattern is coming back before March 10th Don? Maybe something like 2017 or 2018?

and a daytime snow is an extra bonus-- on Superbowl Sunday! The last time we had that was in 2016.
