One would think a +AO would favor inland areas.....wasn't this the case during the mid 80s thru early 90s? It was all about N/W

It was only for the big events....for one thing there werent any extreme events between Feb 1983 and Mar 1993 and then it was sporadic (just Mar 1993 and Jan 1996) before the madness that began in the 2000s lol. Mar 2001 would have sent this board over the edge

it was obviously a joke/troll post, he and I have had this long running thing for years.... Rockland is the SIBERIA of our subforum so obviously who besides a winter weather enthusiast would want to live there?!

jackpot zones are usually close to the sleet areas and mix lines

I heard that the American models were in last place but the Canadian models really improved because of upgrades?

Sounds like more storms like this one even when the pattern is good....No sign of negative AO/NAO anywhere? At this rate NYC and the airports may finish with below normal snowfall for March

Don when is the AO going to get down to something more reasonable for wintry weather?

you dont think we're going into an el nino for next winter?

Even a place like Boston didn't get the amount of snow they expected....I don't see 8 inch amounts coming in from that region

I would just gaze at them from my windows That way you avoid the cold. Have some of those huge 60" windows that give you a wide angle to view from.

I'd live there for the Northern Lights.... there are places that far north where you don't even have to leave your house to see amazing Northern Lights displays in your back yard 200 nights a year. I wonder if they're so used to them they take them for granted? I've seen that kind of display posted from the Scandanavian nations, yet another reason to want to live there.

Dude you obviously hate cold and snow, why do you live in Rockland? The only people who live in a place like that are winter weather enthusiasts, I can't imagine any other reason for living there. You should be in Florida, you'd love the weather there.

wow in SW Nassau we had like 18" I think that was the JFK total?

Cant help it I'm a Scrabble purist

or all the heavy snow in Boston!

Boxing Day must've been a severe undermeasurement at ISLIP. No way they only had 14.9 for the entire month when NYC got 20" just in one storm. I never trust ISLIP snowfall stats anyway.

"WWIII" isn't a word though which is why Wordle is only for rank amateurs.

snowing 1 inch per hr in Boston though and 3 inches already

Isn't sleet ice pellets (IP)? why did they change the code for it?

Doesn't it just run off to freeze somewhere elsewhere? Here the colder surfaces are covered in white: the grass, the rooftops, all of that, but the roads and driveways look to be just wet.

Looks like JFK is close to freezing too

Of note is that it can still get lower. I wonder what the yearly minimum will be, that usually happens in March just before Fall starts there? I think it's likewise in September for the Arctic when our Fall starts.

works fine with white media ;-) that inspired an idea I had about the universe and primary colors.... if space is built on the canvas of time we can consider time to be black (it's arrow anyway) and the three spatial dimensions are RGB the additive primary colors. You could have an equal and opposite universe with a reverse arrow of time (white) where the spatial dimensions would correspond to CMY the subtractive primary colors. The arrow of time for all denizens in each universe would be forward for them (because they are "facing" the direction time moves, like being on a conveyor belt and facing the direction of movement) and it's the other universe that seems opposite. It explains why the universe is expanding because it only appears that way, because the other universe would appear to be contracting, so in effect the same total size is always maintained (like yin/yang). Further expanded upon this into a cyclic model of Big Bounce with expansion contraction cycles for the universe and its antiverse, divided by a barrier of light (luxon wall), because to the other universe we would seem tachyonic (going faster than light) and vice versa, with light forming the boundary between both universes (this could also have connections to the holographic principle and the boundary storing all the information contained in the bulk, where we live and for the antibulk on "the other side" too.)-- sort of like a bifurcated black hole inside an even larger universe with light keeping the two opposite universes apart and storing all their info on each side at the same time (like a double sided cosmic DVD.)

on the plus side we're a lot better than New England. I know there isn't a mud season here where I live, it usually goes from snow right to warm weather.

we had snow on a southerly wind in the snowicane late at night, I remember JM commented on it, like when does that ever happen lol. I think that was while it was retrograding? I love stacked storms for that reason, they do unusual and crazy things lol.
