Maybe with ACC going forward we'll see more El Nino like patterns even outside El Ninos?

As Mr G would say- a three dog night!

Thanks Don! I see why I confused the two.....they both happened in Jan 2004 and they both ended in the morning! So the mid Jan 2004 event was the one with the extremely high ratios and the late Jan 2004 event was the one with the pink snow? I still remember the wide variance in snowfall..... Far Rockaway had almost 11 inches while JFK was closer to 6.5! Did this one not have the extreme ratios of the prior storm and were the temps not as cold? I think this was the pink snow storm that I still remember all these years later.

So amazing we had a storm like that as late as 2014
-
is the GEPS a combo of the GEFS and EPS?
-
Don do you remember any other pink snow instances besides Jan 2004 and Jan 2009?
-
sort of like Feb 1994, we finally did get into a big thaw and temps in the 60s but that was after two snow storms in the same week and then got more snow in March.
-
wow thats some ratio lol was 4.6 the total snowfall for the entire storm? I remember it to be somewhat higher than that....
-
Yea that was the pink snowstorm I was thinking of and we got a low of 1 on back to back nights I think? Were predicted to go below zero but it never happened.
-
Thanks Don, do you also have pictures from the Jan 2009 pink sunset snowstorm? Also, I'm not sure of the exact date of this storm, based on your site it says 27-29 but based on the numbers Chris posted it happened from the 14-15th or were those two different storms?
-
yes that was measured at 10-11 inches in the Rockaways and Western Long Island, ended just after sunrise on the 15th and a last heavy blitz of snow came down as the sun was rising and the color of the sunrise made the snow look pink! It was absolutely amazing..... the only other time I saw pink snow was at sunset during January 2009.
-
You remembered! Do you have any pictures of that pink hue by any chance, Don? Jan 2004 I think? I wish I had taken pictures of it but I still remember it so vividly in my mind. We had a similar storm in Jan 2009....and in that occasion it was pink snow at sunset!
-
20 inches of snow this month? another 10 inches in March?
-
Don do you remember the storm during the 03-04 winter when we had temps in the single digits and had ratios of 25:1 to 40:1 with LGA having an astounding 80:1 ratio? We had almost a foot of snow in that one. 11 inches at Far Rockaway if I remember correctly. Was that the one when we had heavy snow at sunrise and the color of the sunrise made the snow look pink as it came down?
