    Dec storm was similar to 1995-96, the only thing that separates this winter from 1995-96 right now is the historic Jan 1996 blizzard

    thats very interesting Chris.....let's take the Jan 2016 storm at JFK as an example....how much of a difference was there between final storm total and the max snowfall depth at any point during the storm or immediately after it ended?
  3. LibertyBell
    a half inch of sleet, when was this?

    I would have loved to have experienced any of those three winters during the 60s though, they all must've been amazing. And the 1966 Summer as well as Donna in 1960! March 1960 snowstorm and Feb 1969 in addition to the ones in the winters I mentioned also.

    I looked through 1960s data and it seems like the only really good seasons were 1960-61 and 1966-67. There were a lot of middling seasons and one somewhat better than average (1963-64). Overall for the decade though yes it was our last 30" average before the 00s. The 80s were the worst though but the winters were still much colder than they are now (especially January) and the 70s were the second worst (thank goodness for 77-78!)

    Something underreported was the storm surge with this. I heard that a snow plow almost got swept out to see when the waters from Jamaica Bay came in near Far Rockaway.

    Hey James, will I be able to get in my driveway tomorrow lol? I'm going to the Poconos for the weekend, around 2,000 ft elevation near Albrightstville and Lake Harmony. Based on the PNS I saw the totals were between 24-28 inches? I didn't see anything over 30 inches being reported there. Just 1 county north of Allentown and halfway between Allentown and Mount Pocono. I'll be right near Mount Pocono on I-80 and then head a bit south to get there. And can you post a nice color coded map like the one you posted from I-80 on south to Allentown? Thanks!

    it amazes me that they're always so slow to fix such obvious model errors, there should be some self-correcting built in- isn't this the age of AI?

    wasnt PD2 preceded by a major storm?
  10. LibertyBell
    2014-15 was our last truly great snow season
  11. LibertyBell
    um it's already happened in Jan 2016.....New York City exists outside of Manhattan and I submit that we shouldn't use Central Park for our data.
  12. LibertyBell
    yes that last part is exactly correct....compare this to the 80s.....winters were much colder but also much drier.....many more suppressed tracks that benefitted DC and Baltimore over us. With warming the track has lifted north. Higher snowfall totals in NYC is only part of the story.....also look at what has happened to DC snowfall in the past few decades compared to the 80s. In a sense, we're taking their snow.......
  13. LibertyBell
    wow this includes some of our all time classics are these also considered the most disruptive to traffic and moving around because of occurring on those days? in comparison to storms like Feb 1983 and Jan 2016 which ended before the weekend did
  14. LibertyBell
    feed them natural lemon grass and it solves the excess methane problem, I dont like the kind of crap they feed animals these days
  15. LibertyBell
    it's difficult to hit 50 inches of snow unless a season is truly historic
  16. LibertyBell
    coldest weather in a few years upcoming? hopefully not cold and dry
  17. LibertyBell
    lol I wonder why people call it the TPV....it should just be the PV
  18. LibertyBell
    developing black hole over Lake Superior?
  19. LibertyBell
    how do we know that the Cape May figure from 1899 is correct?
  20. LibertyBell
    remember the changes made after the Jan 2016 storm lol

    17" at Howard Beach lol

    they need to stop measuring snow at these places and using them for official data. whats this fetish to put airports near the water anyway, do they WANT them to go underwater with the rapid sea level rise going on?
  24. LibertyBell
    Yeah but that wouldn't happen at JFK because JFK is tucked in. JFK often does better than NYC in snowstorms here are some examples : Feb 1961, Feb 1969, Feb 1983, PD2 Feb 2003, Dec 2009, Jan 2016.....also notable is the fact that even in changeover storms like March 1993 and February 1994, JFK either did better than NYC or had about the same amount of snow, another one is the Millenium storm where there wasn't a changeover even though the storm bisected Long Island. Also the amount of any nonsnow precip from this storm was insignificant, basically just drizzle or a few sleet pellets when we were between bands.
  25. LibertyBell
    Maybe they closed because parts of Boston had a lot more snow than the airport did? I heard that 18" fell 9 miles away from Logan! That should be close enough to still be in Boston! Could you imagine 18" falling in the Bronx while 1.2" fell at JFK?
