    I blame the dolts in the media who seem to have "north and west" plastered to their foreheads and then get surprised when eastern or northern Long Island jackpots. I wonder if anyone has ever done a statistical analysis to figure out what percentage jackpots in our region on an average yearly basis. I'd guess Long Island jackpots on average about one third of the time. Now if you want to talk about a region that rarely jackpots on Long Island it'd be the south shore. Probably even less than the Jersey Coast does. I'd guess the south shore of Long Island jackpots 10% of the time in big storms and those are in mostly storms that occur in moderate or strong el ninos (examples: Feb 1983, PD2, Jan 2016). and yup none of the ones you listed mixed here.

    how come you cant visit Lynbrook for the storm?
  3. LibertyBell
    Feb 2003? how did you do in that one?
  4. LibertyBell
    why not 10+ if its going to be all snow? If this is like Dec 2009, NYC got 10 inches and JFK got 15 inches if I remember correctly- do you see something like that?
  5. LibertyBell
    lol wasnt that long ago

    looks like the south shore of nassau should do well too.... what do you think of the Dec 2009 analog that neg nao brought up

    he's in a great place for the April 2024 total solar eclipse and he's offered to house and feed all of us who are going eclipse hunting

    2 things that concern me.....1 is the performance of the batteries in very cold weather (I see Norway has a lot of them though so maybe this isn't so serious of a problem)? and 2 is establishing the kind of charging infrastructure we need to allow people to drive long distances with them. I see hybrids as a good middle ground for now and work towards full electric within 20 years.

    they behave more like a family, an entirely different dynamic they have there.

    according to some models, it's already in the Atlantic....
  11. LibertyBell
    wow at this rate, all that talk of coastal mix will be gone and suppression will be the thing to worry about

    GM just announced going all electric within the next 15 years, so this is good news. It remains to be seen how all these new resolutions will take to actually help us undo the last 100 years.

    yeah he's definitely not a "regular working guy" and can afford to lose a few (billion). as for this snowstorm is concerned, we definitely dont seem to have a margin of error anywhere near as large.

    Don was that Jan 1966 also of long duration and the heaviest storm of the year? If memory serves, that season was best further south; Norfolk had over 40" It was an el nino year. and our best winter of that decade was actually the following season, 66-67, after a historically dry and hot summer. Big streak of historically dry years that was broken by that 66-67 winter

    got to wonder when the last time was we had a 36 hour storm of any type.
  16. LibertyBell
    okay this is a good middle ground, wish success on the Mets as long as Cohen loses mightily in the stock market.

    thats called threading the needle with a needle thats thinner than the thread
  18. LibertyBell
    yea no kidding, no idea who that even is.
  19. LibertyBell
    everyone except flat earthers knows about the "new" climate. and lol at trolled/attacked, you're doing something wrong if the vast majority of the board cant stand you.
  20. LibertyBell
    wow sounds like they're more common this year? Is this their typical winter ground and then they end up back in Canada during the summer?
  21. LibertyBell
    I guess this is how you have suppressed systems that aren't all that great for coastal areas either.
  22. LibertyBell
    one of these days we're going to have a storm where the mix line and the shaft line are within blocks from each other lol. the width of wintry precip seems to be getting narrower every year.

    first time I'd seen snow that heavy in about a decade! March 1993 was great too, but changed to sleet and rain here by the time precip rates got truly heavy. The thundersnow from the first Feb 1994 event was something to behold- 2-4 inches per hour made it seem like an avalanche was falling from the sky!

    I feel like I'm missing out on these. The only times I've seen Snowy Owls is when I'm driving to the Poconos late at night and I've seen them there a couple of times (one time sitting right in the middle of the road)! I've heard some owls actually hunt by crawling along the ground rather than by flying? Usually near a full moon. I've been in the Gateway Recreational Area a few times, do you think they could be there or any of the marshland that surrounds JFK airport? That used to be a famous birding area during its old Idlewild days.

    Not to completely divert off-topic here but I think we can colonize with domes and perhaps even produce atmosphere before we can forcefully manipulate the randomness of chaotic liquid flow eddies between low and high pressures. Perhaps even being able to make a planet breathable before we can control thermal-coupled dynamics between the Earth's oceans and driving lapse rates into its atmosphere. That is some serious physics control there that might come far later even into space exploration and settlement. Take a planet like Venus, for example. Yikes. We've got a long way to go before we can simply snuff out a macro system like a Category 5 hurricane. Good thinking! That's why I think "prevention" would come far before "cure" could (like simulating shear or somehow being able to lower sea temps). The kind of circulation adjustments involved though may be extremely complicated to create and we'd of course we'd have to weigh benefits vs risks. The dome and artificial atmosphere idea for colonization is extremely intriguing, I suppose we could first develop that in space before even colonizing another world. Having a space colony orbiting earth sounds like a good testing ground. Speaking of Venus, it may have a habitable zone, but it would have to be far up in the atmosphere. The idea of a floating city as you describe it (with a dome and breathable bubble within it) sounds intriguing.
