  1. Just before the snows came last week, I actually saw a butterfly near my bedroom window. I was utterly shocked that there were still butterflies here. I guess it's gone now.
  2. wait does that mean sub zero with snow cover doesn't slow the spread of invasive species?
  3. so we actually want a mild winter there sure explains 2015-16 lol
  4. Unfortunately the last few times it's happened we had no snow on the ground I'd rather have temps in the 20s with snow.
  5. People are expecting NYC to go below zero thats like a once a decade occurrence if even that anymore, probably now more like a once every other decade occurrence.
  6. Wow! Not getting anything like that around here....why do these squalls always seem to happen at night? A few years ago we had intense snow squalls that lasted almost half the night do you remember those? It was as if one squall ended and the next one began. I remember they started around 4 PM and didn't end until after midnight. The streets were snowcovered the entire time.
  7. It looked like a much wetter snow down here, tree branches were bending down with the weight of snow on them. I guess this is why we didn't get the higher snow amounts that the north shore got....the snow was wetter down here
  8. I agree with this, and if we do get anything before the pattern was about to change, it would likely be an inch or two from a clipper. Thats why Jan 20th is probably our best chance for a big storm, just before the pattern changes.
  9. The only thing that really stands out to me about that winter is the historic arctic shot in Jan 85, it was a mostly cold and dry month.
  10. the end of the good pattern will probably be the best time to get a big storm, things look to be suppressed (cold and dry) before then. 1/20 might be our best chance again
  11. this is exactly why we dont want a big arctic outbreak here, the storms invariably go south or east of here. Lake effect land is the best place to be for this pattern
  12. what the heck was going on in 1898-1899 and 1917-1918 that we had highs in the single digits 3 straight days? and there was a repeat performance in the latter winter in February!
  13. Please give these franchises to New Jersey.... I'm sick of them being called the "football" Giants, both teams play in NJ, NY needs to disown both of them and have their own franchise.
  14. Yeah a lot of us have them. Have to keep checking them regularly.
  15. world war 1 and world war 2 winters were amazingly cold on both sides of the Atlantic Look how rare single digit high days are....we barely missed in 1993-94 and the one in 1984-85 I remember really well
  16. single digit maxes seem to be very rare.....1993-94 had a max of 10 so barely missed.... 1984-85 had a max of 9, I remember that day well.
