  1. there's a positive to this....strong SE ridge means we should avoid that dreaded cool wet pattern that people were talking about, so hopefully we'll have a nice prelude to summer aka the spring and summer of 2002.
  2. So this is interesting, because of the warming of the west pacific we could actually be in a permanent or semi permanent la nina state? That would be a good reason to move the hell away from coastal areas- not because of lack of snowfall, but because coastal areas will probably be wrecked by a barrage of tropical systems every year. I'm glad I have my other house in the Poconos.
  3. really 12-14" for eastern parts of the city and over here. and 21-26" seasonal snowfall
  4. Then of course the question becomes why have we had a persistent lack of blocking this winter-- what caused the +AO/+NAO to be so persistent this year?
  5. No I just mean a break from the rain for like 2 weeks and not this 4 rainstorms in 2 weeks. I would like to see the kind of rainfall pattern we had in the 80s, which was something like 3-4 inches of rain per month total.
  6. excellent, I've been buying outdoor lights that use LiPO batteries, I wonder if this is similar?
  7. which is confusing-- shouldnt we have fewer la ninas with climate change? why doesn't the entire pacific heat up?
  8. no rain at all is far preferable....honestly, who needs or wants rain? I'd much rather have heat and dry heat at that
  9. right that wasnt historic for us, I enjoyed March 2015 much more than either March 1993 or March 2018 for that matter.
  10. same 26" here in SW Nassau, pretty decent
  11. thats weird you got less snow than I did....I had 26" here which is about average.
  12. Might as well get used to that, it looks like that is the new base state too, I thought you and some others said that warm sst are good for big bombing snowstorms? Maybe its too much of a good thing and we are finally seeing the other side of the equation now, where its actually heating up the atmosphere, where before it was only adding more moisture and energy to storms, causing higher snowfall totals?
  13. who are these people who think that -NAO are more common than +NAO? From everything I've seen +NAO is the base state and lasts longer than -NAO, which are fleeting and only last for short bursts. On top of that not all -NAO are good anyway, we have east and south based ones which are bad for us. So in most cases the NAO is unfavorable.
  14. We're now at a time of year where we need anomalous cold to get a decent snow event. "doesn't look warm" isn't going to be good enough
  15. It's almost like Manhattan has the least chance to have decent snowfall than the rest of the area, because chances are there will be more snowfall to the east, west, north and south. Manhattan is a true thread the needle location that needs all the indices to be perfectly lined up.
  16. But what about Brooklyn, I see that places like Sheepshead Bay and etc also got 10-12 inches in that January snowstorm, so I figure Brooklyn should also be over 20"?
  17. Do you mean the NAO dropping Ant?
  18. Something good I saw yesterday on the news was the high gas prices have seen a large surge in the purchase of EVs and also a high surge in buying of roof solar panels on Long Island. It's the fastest growing market right now even with inflation it's doing really well. And there's a large wind farm being built offshore of Coney Island by about 50 miles and the goal is to have NYC 70% powered by renewable energy by 2030.
  19. Yesss I wonder if that would be anything like Feb 1921 but all snow that would be AMAZING. Look up Feb 1921....there was 4.5" of total precip over 3 days, 18" of it was snow, the rest was a mix.
  20. What I see is the AO going sky high
  21. We've already reached and exceeded 20" Chris, it's only a small NW corner of NYC that hasn't
  22. Chris can you extend this to include April and also generate a map for them....I wanted to see what years I missed.
