I'd like to find out if other parts of the world experience an issue similar to the "WAR" or is it that we are geographically unluckly? I don't see a big western Pacific ridge mentioned with regards to snowfall in northern Japan for example-- so maybe this is just an issue for us?
-
Lee Goldberg thinks it might happen.... Are you watching Ch 7? In the last update he said to expect the pattern to change after Jan 20, and we get colder and get snowier with clippers headed our way. At this point I'm sick and tired of coastals raining so clippers are fine by me.
-
There was a time when a parade of storms into the west went straight east and produced a lot of snow for us.
-
97-98 notwithstanding, 01-02 will always be my GOAT of snowless seasons.
-
I thought 14-15 was better but that's because it was colder and the storms were all snow.
-
That shows that our climate this year is more like Atlanta than it is New York.
-
We need the Bermuda Triangle to make the Bermuda High disappear.....

Wild to see 1918-19 like that when 1916-17 and 1917-18 were historically cold and snowy (our only back to back 60"+ snowfall seasons, I think?)
-
I think 2010-11 had a better chance since it had 2 HECS
-
I dont think people here will be impressed until we get another Krakatoa or Tambora lol Krakatoa = Boxing Day Blizzard Tambora = January 1996 / January 2016
-
I remember-- that was supposed to be rain lol
-
I love it-- it has a poetic quality to it!
-
Who named this Hunga Tonga? I always laugh when I see that name
-
Was the other 0.5" in November-- I don't remember.
-
Yup and it melted the same day. What a weird way to end the season-- it would have easily been the least snowy winter ever without that. Philly didn't get it and ended up with a T for the entire season.
-
Thats what I miss too. I would prefer to see 4-5 4-6 inch storms rather than wait for a footer that may or may not happen and get shut out the rest of the winter or get an inconsequential 1 or 2 incher.
-
neutral probably means even less snow than this winter haha
-
There was measurable snowfall in 97-98 during winter just not an inch-- 0.5" I think. The snowfall in March actually occurred after winter was over, it was on the equinox.
-
Atlantic was fine in December, it got bad in January
-
Winter isn't actually over, we just have to readjust our expectations to a boom or bust type system. We'll either get a lot of snow or very little-- "average" snowfall amounts no longer occur outside of a few rare winters.
-
I think we already know because this area has become a swing and miss type of snowfall regime. In other words you will either get a lot of snow or none at all. You being further northeast will of course do better than NYC and most of us.
-
What the statistics show though is that the coastal plain does not do well in December outside of exceptional setups. I don't think the coast should ever expect much snow in December.
-
Yeah the things we are not getting anymore are normal snowfall seasons (between 22-28 inches) and we're also not getting moderate snowfalls anymore (2-4 inches, 3-5 inches, etc.) They seem to be either 40"+ or under 20" seasons and either dusting-2 inch snows or 6"+ (usually 10"+)
-
dry and hot with beautiful blue skies is awesome a la April 2002
-
everything is cause and effect, there is no true "randomness" in AGW extremes get more extreme so we expect both much snowier seasons and seasons with very little snow. and that's what we've been seeing for the last couple of decades
