Interesting how snowfall amounts ramped up as soon as you got out of Manhattan....Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn 12 inches, JFK 13 inches, I see 14 inches for Elmont, but I also see 18 inches for Elmont, lol which one is right?
I saw that live. I thought it was awesome how he broke down water equivalence and compared the consistency of snow with temps in the teens to regular Jersey coast snow with temps in the low 30s.
we had a wasted negative NAO in December, it would have been better to have a positive NAO in December with temps in the 60s and a negative NAO now, but are you sure that with a negative NAO the storm wouldn't have been suppressed? Because that tends to happen a lot too. What we had was fine it was like a blizzard here most of the day.
all their hot air destroyed the confluence and enabled this storm to come further north and west.
So thank you to them for supplying all the hot air we needed to bring this storm closer lol
lol personally I don't think it would be worth the trouble, the weather is fundamentally unpredictable, as this storm has shown. Use your brainpower to go into something like quantum mechanics or cosmology or both and try to discover what happened before the big bang ;-)
