Yep, all complex animals have intuition, it's amazing really. I even read that trees in the Amazon control their own weather-- it's fascinating! Science papers were written on how they control nucleation..... About non thread the needle HECS snowstorms, I've always wondered how they happen.... like February 1978, February 1983, January 1996, PD 2 February 2003, January 2016 are the only ones I can think of offhand.....the other ones were thread the needle for the most part (even Boxing Day).

it also makes me think we should see stemwinding tropical systems too
-
I love seeing the snow and the swans!

It makes me wonder if this is how it sometimes snows (or drizzles) when you don't see anything on radar. Low level "under the radar"-- you often see this when it's very cold and you see these beautiful sparkly tiny snow crystals drifting down-- this happened a lot in February 2015. Another thing which could help precipitate is meteoric dust, which makes me wonder if precipitation is more likely just after meteor showers occur?

well many animals are highly intelligent and they also have a sixth sense that is linked to magnetic fields and some other cool stuff
-
salt nuclei?! you mean all that salt they were dumping when it wasn't snowing caused this snow? Good-- they should dump more of it lol
-
Yeah it's very photogenic lol like confetti
-
we don't get many sidewinders anymore do we? also what's a stemwinder? same thing? omg its snowing now and the sun is out at the same time big flakes looks like bird feathers slowly falling from the skies and the birds seem to love it too lol
-
It's started snowing again, Lol
-
I remember two storms, both la nina storms (I think?)..... January 2000, produced heavy snow in the DC area and rain here, and back on Vets Day 1987, heavy snow DC to Philly, only an inch or two here, and then heavy snow again up by Boston.

the snow flurring/light snow has started up again

Occasional Thoughts on Climate Change

2015-16 winter a perfect example of the extreme variability....we went from a record warm December to a record 30"+ snowstorm in January to below zero on Valentine's Day in NYC lol. and there is 2017-18 where we went from a blizzard in early January to 80 degrees in February to 5 snowstorms between March and early April. -

What was the cause of that extreme cold between 2013 and 2015? The super el nino of 2015-16 ended that. The thing I remember about Pinatubo was the year without a summer (1992) and then the 1993-94 very cold and stormy winter. Going back to the 80s we also had El Chichon and some very cold winters in the early and mid 80s. -
Is our area more vulnerable to this ridging than other parts of the world at the same latitude?

Pretty snow while it lasted, ended at 9 but roofs and cartops had a nice coating. This was the second most snow after that 0.5" in December. It's snowed three times here, once in each month. The one in November was a line of snowshowers that lasted an hour no accumulation so a "light" T , then the 0.5" in December and this which was a "heavy" trace (coatings on rooftops and cartops). At least I got to see snow fall with this one, which wasn't the case with the other two which occurred at night.
-
Honestly if JFK only reported a T in that event in December when we got half an inch I don't see how they will get more with this....that was more snow than what we got with this event.
-
Looks like the snow has ended and already melting from the rooftops
-
Let's see what JFK gets
-
cartops also covered with a coating of snow now and a big fat snowflake just came and stuck to my window and hasn't melted yet lol
-
cartops are also covered now with a coating and a big fat snowflake just came and stuck to my window and hasn't melted yet lol
-
People are taking pictures of it here whole roofs are coated in white lol...I guess this is the "surprise snow" people were talking about lol Cartops also covered with a coating of snow now and a big fat snowflake just came and stuck to my window and hasn't melted yet lol
-
roofs are coated with snow and its been snowing steadily for a few hours here
-
wow are you my neighbor? thats exactly what his roof looks like right now! I just checked and his roof has a little more, the entire roof has a coating of white now
-
There's actually people here taking pictures of the snow with their cellphones lmao
-
