Because warm and sunny is a hell of a lot better than cloudy and rain.
-
It's always right when it shows no snow lol. Thats why we call it Dr No!
-
The face in that last one says it all. You're excited because it offers you hope but you're angry because you know it's false hope
-
Was that the storm which gave us 10 inches instead of the 3 feet we were supposed to get? If not we really need to start naming these storms, because two big storms in a month gets very confusing.

Bengals and Niners in the Superbowl!

I've never seen such a large area of 12-24 in my entire life. I don't even think Jan 1996 had this large of an area of such heavy snowfall....which makes this output look suspect, expect there to be sharp cut offs with this. Very difficult to get this kind of expansive super large area of heavy snowfall without Atlantic side blocking.
-
This would be Nemo on steroids with 2 feet of snow getting all the way back to SW Nassau (forget about these insane totals, the big picture is a larger area getting the heaviest snows.)
-
Makes you wonder what exactly happened that month to make it so cold? It has to be something outside of the regular climate and weather forces.
-
The fastest warming month
-
We do know there were shops set up in the middle of the Hudson River and people walked across from Manhattan to New Jersey.
-
From what I've read there was a day in January 1780 that was even colder than the -15 recorded in February 1934, albeit only barely colder, still it's quite the accomplishment!
-
Wow I think that was one of those seasons where NYC and Philly had around 100" of snow.
-
He doesn't want it in summer though so I would love to see an endless 100 plus summer torch NOW that would be a real torch instead of a weaksauce 60 degree winter "torch"
-
Makes me want to look into geoengineering to put an end to La Nina once and for all-- especially the multiyear events. I went back into that simulation and programmed ENSO to alternate between weak la nina and weak el nino with no multi year events and no neutral events and it spit out an average snowfall of 35 inches a year for NYC. Slowing down the gulf stream by 30 pct on top of that raised that average to 40 inches. Time to put an end to these multiyear la nina events once and for all.

I remember with both of those storms the snow was already done by the time I woke up
-
Look at all that heat over Siberia
-
I think it would be a really nice place to get back to nature and find some peace and solace far away from all the noise and commotion- and still be able to drive to all the noise and commotion when that was desired. Can't think of many places like that.
-
It always seems to be the March storms that seem to be the most iffy. I just remembered March 2014 that was another one.... weren't models predicting a foot of snow up to a day before the storm and by the time it came around to storm time it was apparent we'd get fringed with 1-2"? The other one that sticks out in my mind is the April Fools' Day storm in 1997, forecasts were for 8-16 inches of snow if I remember correctly, and we ended up with 1-2 inches. -
1970s and 1980s especially, I'll never forget those 2 amazing winters we had in the 1990s, 1993-94 an 1995-96, they made up for all the bad years that came before.
-
Actually there is one exception I remember....Jan 2016. I remember he was pretty excited about that event for NYC and even said the higher (2 foot amounts) had a good chance of verifying. It's the one time he was like that.
-
If these forums were around back then we may have been saying some very similar things. I can only imagine what this board would have been like in Feb 1989 and Dec 1989. It would have been like a horror movie come to life.
-
Yeah and I walked to school, it was very cold back then in January, so whatever fell stuck around or melted and then refroze as ice which was the worst. I hated those cold dry Januarys.
-
I remember they were both night time storms and I didn't see a single flake of snow fall, they both occurred entirely at night and were very quick moving.
-
What about March 2001 and January 2008?
-
I was thinking he should surprise his new bride with it as a wedding gift. "HEY HONEY, LOOK WHAT I GOT FOR YOU AS A WEDDING GIFT?! A LOG CABIN IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WHERE IT SNOWS FROM OCTOBER THRU MAY! YOU CAN HELP ME SHOVEL IT TOO! DOESN'T THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY? JUST LOOK OUT FOR THE BEARS THEY'RE REALLY HUNGRY THIS TIME OF YEAR!" (new wife starts looking for a divorce lawyer.....)
