These links really need to be on the main page so people can find them easily.

That LGA total needs to be updated, 8.4" at 1 PM and it was still snowing then. That 5.5" figure at JFK also needs to be updated for the same reason.....Lido Beach's trained spotter reported 7.5"

How did they get so much? Sound effect snow? It started late here and ended early, it really was a 6 hour snowstorm here. Do you have any totals for this area? I got about 6" here

I slept from around 11 to about 3, watched it snow from 3 to 6 then fell back asleep at 6 and woke up at 9 to breaks of sun lol. Just our typical snow event.

March 1962 also had a historic noreaster

So the depiction of a star like Sirius or Vega (A type stars) as being white and 0.0 on the B-V index can't be correct can it?

Not to mention a 30 inch snowstorm too. I'm glad I slept right through the meltdowns and just woke up to a wintry wonderland.

Looks like 4" even in the Poconos

4-6 is a nice moderate event

So not going to bed I'm guessing?

I dont think the antithesis to Tom Brady is Eli Manning. They've both won multiple superbowls (and multiple superbowl MVPs) and they're both clutch. The antithesis to Tom Brady should be someone like Matt Ryan, who hasn't won a single superbowl and isn't clutch.

I have a related but different question. Is the true color of the sun actually white? We use daytime white balance in our cameras and theoretically at least, that should make the sun white, but it isn't. And in the H-R stellar classification system A type stars like Sirius and Vega are considered white (B-V index is actually calibrated on the latter, at 0.0).....but the sun is a G type star and those are considered yellow. So is this the actual color of the sun as seen from space? I figured that evolution would lean towards sunlight being white for maximum efficiency (and this should also be the case for life that develops on planets that orbit different types of stars-- for example life that evolves on planets that orbit M-type "red" stars should detect their sun's light as white), but for whatever reason our sun's light seems yellow, so maybe evolution has not triggered our vision for maximum efficiency?

The analogy will be complete if he honks on a historic superstorm for a week and it ends up going "wide right" at the very last possible moment.

Looks more like 4-6

He's the GOAT thats for sure. Why doesn't someone make a GOAT tag for him?

thats ridiculous that its just a difference of 2 inches over twice the length of time. We need a higher level warning for historic snowstorms. How about a Historic Snowstorm Warning for snowstorms that dump 20 inches of snow or more? That would supersede all over warnings- including Blizzard Warnings.

It was okay but I'd rather have a Jan 2016 repeat

second year la ninas like this one are usually less productive than first year la ninas, especially ones that come after el ninos

locals are already talking about 8 inches for parts of Long Island and even 6 inches into parts of the city.

That looks like a video game. Space Invaders.....Snowstorm Edition!

I hate night time snow but it is what it is. Did you know I didn't see a single snowflake fall in the December 2009 storm that gave us 15 inches? I was up 24 hours prior to the storm waiting for the snow to start and fell asleep just before the first snowflake fell and woke up right after the last one did.

I have a feeling we'll have a chance to get a big one in January and then again in March.

How much does this resemble what happened in January 1999?

cant use mostly enso because enso only represents about 20% of our weather. Though I agree that chaos dwarfs any signal and long range is fundamentally unpredictable

I would love to! Sounds really interesting. I actually write about a planetary tipping point where planetary self regulation takes over and decides that humanity has done enough damage and balance -- whatever the cost-- must be achieved.
