  1. The moon was bad for the Perseids too. Maybe with missions finally returning to the moon they can put some sort of dark covering on it to make it not so bright? Reducing its albedo would be a boon to star gazers.
  2. I would complain to the authorities if I were you. Maybe they can do something to him and fine him or something. I've had an urge to get rid of light pollution too, it has bad health effects and the ignorant think that these wasteful lights actually lower crime when they do not.
  3. My house in the mountains south of Scranton will see a lot more snow than Scranton will, Scranton is a snowhole.
  4. We're actually in the middle of the cold state of the PDO so a -PNA is expected. Just don't expect much snow in December and look forward to January when the Pacific doesn't really matter as much.
  5. It's actually better to see a cutter and the region flooded with warmth. Why? Because this kind of track doesn't reset the pattern, you'll see coastal hugger after coastal hugger. An actual cutter with no secondary would reset the pattern entirely-- we've seen this multiple times in other backloaded winters.
  6. The holidays need to be moved to late January.....
  7. then it would be another 80s winter. Northern suburbs always do well, near the coast it's much more of a crapshoot
  8. That was because it came right after an el nino
  9. 93-94 and 95-96 more than made up for the late 90s.....I wasn't even interested in winter anymore after 95-96 I figured it was the best that could ever happen and no reason to care about winter anymore because it could never get better than that lol I don't even remember anything after 95-96 until the historic warmth of 01-02 and then 02-03 came lol.
  10. the STJ from a previous el nino can remain juiced for the la nina the following season.....la ninas after el ninos are the closest we will ever get to a slam dunk winter
  11. Why is this happening this December? I don't remember anything like this happening in December 2010.
  12. weak la ninas are our second snowiest state, and la ninas that come after el ninos are actually the best
  13. Yeah it was funny to see LGA mixing while JFK was all snow and a very heavy wet snow at that.
  14. Yes that's true. And the best way to find out what the turning point might be is to see how far down the coast we see regular coastal snowstorms. I think Norfolk is the turning point. When our SST get warmer than what they usually are around Norfolk then we're in trouble (we're talking about the most recent 30 year climo period baseline, obviously Norfolk area SST will warm too.)
  15. 72-73, 97-98, 01-02, 11-12 though I actually rank 01-02 as the worst because it was also much warmer than the others and predicted to be very cold and snowy lol. 01-02 to 02-03 has to be one of the greatest improvements of all time though and the whole era from 96-97 to 01-02 was horrible outside of 00-01 which also ended on a sour note because of March 2001. But 02-03 through 05-06 (really through 04-05) made it all worth it.
  16. Water temps dont actually matter as much as storm track does. We've seen SECS in November with warmer temps than this.
  17. Was it in January that we had our first SECS? I don't remember when the first significant storm was-- I thought we had snow in December too, but those were of the minor variety-- and those hit the Cape much harder right?
  18. True even the 80s had that. Maybe we should raise the minimum to either 6 or 8 inches then.
  19. Yeah it's pretty much over by that point. There's a stat for pretty much everything so there has to be a stat for this too. When's the latest we had a 4-6 inch or more snowfall and still had at least 24 inches of snow that season? 24 inches should be considered minimum for a C season. 30 inches for a B season and 40 inches for an A season
  20. End of January is the dividing line, if you don't get the first 4-6 inch storm by then it's going to be a bad season.
  21. Water temps are 52-58 wow that's warm
  22. and we just had a minor snow event, you'd think that would be enough for at least a week since it was our first snow event of the season.
