it's very hard to get ratios above 12:1 in high wind long duration storms. Hey, if we get 2" of crystallized water out of this, I'll be happy. -
Hey how much fell there and up by where I live? I'll be going there next week and I wonder if I need to hire a snow plow guy. The last one I had dented my garage with his plow. He said there was so much snow he couldn't see where my garage was.
-
funny that when they agree on a rainstorm 5 days out it always seems to work out, but with snow? Noooooo NEVER! lol
-
fingies? has this person heard of gloves? maybe if his parents had heard of "the glove"..... nah, let's not go there lol.
-
I'll always remember that as the big Chicago snowstorm.
-
Thanks so much for the storm thread Walt, it was unexpectedly exciting with the severe weather and water spouts thrown into the mix.
-
Jersey Shore was the place to be for this, they got the real Florida type severe weather with hail and waterspouts and winds near 80 mph.
-
I wish this happened during the day! It would be a sight to see. I slept from around 10 PM to 4 AM lol. I knew it was windy though because I could actually feel the wind inside my house.
-
Florida weather in January Jersey shore gets the most exciting weather even in rain storms lol.
-
If it's in Brooklyn why is it called Manhattan Beach?
-
dude end of the month is when the coldest air is supposed to be here.
-
Don when was the last time we had a month average below freezing? Seems to becoming much more rare.
-
what if we split the difference and those indices are close to neutral?
-
it could still be an inland southern snow event though....those are the ones that have become more common again.
-
we've been seeing this more and more over the last few years.
-
actually it's not February but March when such a pattern can work, with troughs on both coasts you need shorter wavelengths, which don't happen in February. February is going to the month of thaw this season (and we deserve it with how cold January has been.)
-
whats coming back? AO index seems to be all over the place
-
maybe chances of getting below zero even in the city, Walt?
-
no single digits at any of the city locations, Chris? How close did the park and two city airports get?
-
it's our normal weather pattern.....simplifying it think of it this way.....northwest and north winds, cold and dry....storms come from the west or southwest....counterclockwise flow brings in mild air from the ocean, so it almost always warms up before the storm comes, and then north to northwest winds behind the storm means the cold air comes back after the storm. Thats why cold to rain and back to cold is our most stable weather pattern. Nothing really fascinating about it-- it's how our weather is supposed to be.

2015-16 was just fine for us, got over 40 inches of snow
-
Yeah you really missed the one you should've been here for lol. The south shore always gets its biggest snowstorms in strong el ninos.....it's just how it is. Feb 1983, PD 2, Jan 2016...... need I say more?
-
We still had close to 50" of snow on the south shore here near JFK....I think it was less further east. All the ice storms made up for some lower snowfall totals. We had close to 85 inches in 1995-96....JFK low snowfall tally is highly suspect.
-
Because of that storm alone I'd pick 2014-15 as the better winter over 2013-14. That area where you live is near the snow capital of Long Island. Based on data from your site as well as local reports, maybe just east of there and closer to Mt Sinai?
-
I remember our local news talking about all the snow Boston had that year. Could you imagine if this forum was around back then lol. I didn't even have internet until 2000. So basically you could compare 1993-94 to 2014-15 but in an opposite way....in the first case we had borderline storms here and more snow north of us, in the second case we were plenty cold enough (January onwards), but the storms were stronger north and east of us. I'd actually rather have 2014-15 over 1993-94.
