Since you said that these changes occur in 30 day increments are you thinking we'll have a colder and possibly snowy March after a mild February?
-
It was a T and thats it. It didn't even snow hard enough to accumulate when it was snowing. -
If it's 60+ (my definition of a torch, anything less is merely mild), it's great because I'm going to shut my heating off. I'm sure most would be ecstatic to save on heating costs. And if we get one big snowstorm to end January I'm sure most would be happy and have no further use of any cold weather. We must look at all the positives of warm weather after such a bitterly cold month. Just need that one big snowstorm and winter would've served its purpose and can go away.

I dont know where JFK got their 0.1 from but absolutely nothing stuck here.
-
It took an extremely anomalous 2 decades (2000s and 2010s) to get us there though. Most other decades were extremely lackluster. We just accept that we simply aren't far enough north and are way too close to the ocean to be a snowy city. Gotta be Boston on north to get the really good stuff.

Move to the Poconos dude. You can still get to the city in 2 hours and the annual snowfall average in Mt Pocono is around 70 inches. It snows there in ANY pattern. Right off I-80 too and a 2 hour straight shot from there to the city. They get noreasters, they get clippers, they even get lake effect snow. It makes a big difference being over 2000 ft above sea level. Also the summer nights there are really cool and my place there has never had or needed any air conditioning. You don't deal with the high population density or all the pollution of having millions of people around either.
-
warm and dry is better than either
-
a big fat T here changed over around 10 and ended around 12 lol
-
I've come to expect around 22 inches as the average here. If you look up 30 year 30" snowfall averages we don't seem to get them anymore-- the last 30 year average barely missed.
-
well thats a nice round number?
-
also lower elevation and higher humidity and urbanization all means snowpack goes bye bye quickly
-
30 inches though dude and memories for a life time.
-
Good so that means a snowy March
-
I want it to hit 100 every day in July because he only likes boring nonextreme weather and hates heat as much as he hates snow.
-
I have bad memories of back then, I used to walk 2 miles to school and I was in 5th grade and the sidewalks were icy as hell.
-
Yeah I just mentioned two right off the top of my head....March 2001 and January 2008. And January 2015 too. So that's 3 right there.
-
lol maybe we could save ourselves some tax payer money by cutting down on these inaccurate models.
-
But then we have great performances that stand out like February 1978 which was predicted from a week out. January 1996 you already mentioned....wasn't March 1993 another one? and PD2? The Euro has perceptibly gotten worse over the last few years, why can't we roll back the changes to what it was previously? The other storms I can remember that the models did awfully with was March 2001 and January 2008 (our last Heavy Snow Warning.) Looks like there was another bust today lol.
-
why have the models become less accurate than they were 10 and even 25 years ago? what was different about the mid 90s to the mid 10s?
-
1-2 sounds like a safe bet, 3 inches for those who are extremely lucky
-
we've gotten several snowstorms in the first 10 days of April
-
45 isn't torch for February....60 would be.
-
actually this pattern was rather common in the 80s.
-
yup and we dont even have a double digit snowfall total lol
-
No one anywhere is getting 6 inches from this storm....take these snowfall numbers and cut them in half across the board.
