  1. Another la nina winter and cold and dry from what I remember. We had two moderate sized events back to back 5" and 4" if I remember correctly, both quick night time events and outside of that the winter was cold and dry until the usual big warm up in February. Back in the 80s our Januarys were very cold and dry and we always had big warm ups right in time for February.
  2. This morning was our first freeze.... 31 degrees here (30.9)
  3. Looks like it might be a state record or even a national record for a 24 hour period?
  4. Wait lol look up what natural gas actually is..... it's a euphemism for methane LNG (liquified "natural" gas) = liquid methane
  5. Humanity will survive sure, but perhaps not at a highly technological level.
  6. Yep because people drive like normal so the most accidents happen with under 3 inches of snow.
  7. Wow how much in that dark blue area near I-80 in NE PA south of Scranton? 1" in 2 hours? That could cause traffic problems.
  8. The best way to chase it is to stay out of the heaviest bands.
  9. Depends on what you mean for the start of winter. For me winter starts on December 21st. We could easily get an end of November snowstorm and then it thaws for a couple of weeks in December and then we get cold again in the latter part of December.
  10. It can snow in both November and April-- we've seen 6"+ snowstorms in both months.
  11. We've had quite a few La Ninas with average to above average snowfall totals.
  12. They did say there were nonviolent ways of handling the problem. I think they could be tranquilized and relocated or tranquilized, sterilized and then relocated. There's a variety of methods to control populations. I like the idea of sterilization and relocation myself. I don't like the idea of humans deep in the wilderness because as human populations increase, there is less and less land left for nature. Now, if human populations stabilize that's a different story.
  13. Sounds like Syracuse is a lot better than Watertown (although close to the edge of totality so 1.5 min of totality vs 3.75 min; maybe somewhere in between is even better.)
  14. How's the weather up there in the first couple of weeks of April? Wondering where the best place would be to set up for the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse. Thinking somewhere between Syracuse and Watertown as if now.
  15. That being said, the good part is that it's predictable where the best bands will set up so if you really want to be in them, you know exactly what counties to live in.
  16. Regardless those were both very snowy winters weren't they? 14-15 and 17-18 were both extremely backloaded winters too
  17. Thanks Walt. I saw a report of about 0.1" icing from Sussex NJ and there was a report of 5.6" of snow from some town in the Southern Poconos and also near Altoona.
  18. That sounds like we might be headed to a semi permanent la nina state (at least until average temperatures get re-calibrated.) However the enso response may be unconventional in terms of sensible weather because we are seeing major alterations in sea currents and SST in other parts of the world too (including the western Atlantic and the Gulf Stream.)
  19. Thanks Walt, looks like the predictions were right, 3.5" around my part of the Poconos! Why did that area get more than areas to the north of there, Walt?
  20. Hope it doesn't happen like the notorious heavy wet snow in October a few years back.
