  1. tonight you'll have a much better chance, it should be clear..by the way how long after sunset was it and how far above the horizon were they?
  2. this is part of our new climate so it's not surprising Chris.....milder winters with more snowfall (and more rainfall) has become the norm now. Also it wouldn't be a shock for the pattern to break down as we approach February, patterns usually last from 4-8 weeks before they break, but I also wouldn't be surprised if it returned again later, a la 1995-96. Even in 2010-11 we actually returned to a somewhat snowy pattern again in March.
  3. that would be an awesome name for a weather model though all the others would have to bow and get out of the way, ladies and gentleman THE MGMT HAS SPOKEN!
  4. I see a big 0.5 in the middle of Long Island! Is that Commack?
  5. at least you'll be ground zero for the April 2024 total solar eclipse lol
  6. Damn, that even beats the Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood super group.
  7. what about downstream rivers and creeks getting flooded because of massive melting upstream?
  8. we've seen way too many el ninos produce very little snow and some of our biggest snowfall seasons of all time have been la ninas, some of them are front loaded, some are backloaded and some are both. You cant cookie cutter our snowfall patterns into specific ENSO scenarios, if you could long range forecasting would be a lot easier.
  9. there is no such thing as "el nino" or "la nina" patterns, it's all about blocking or lack thereof
  10. Now you see why I want geo-engineering so bad, imagine if we had the power to suck clouds right out of the air to see magnificent spectacles like this.
  11. when will that big rain and wind storm end that we're supposed to get? right before the cold comes charging in? so no precip on Christmas day?
  12. This goes along with Isotherm's thoughts....before the New Year inland locations should get a snowstorm (29th sounds good) and a few days after the New Year (5-10 sounds good) it would be the coast's turn.
  13. Thats a really good idea. I'll try spotify. I haven't listened to radio in years (not FM not AM nothing), I pretty much just youtube everything. It's completely replaced radio for me. I think the last time I listened to radio was about a decade ago. I hate commercial crap.
  14. thats crazy, you couldnt move around if that was the case. I like our snow-melt cycles...one big snowstorm every month and warmth and clear skies in between (no rain).
  15. there wasn't even a coating here....it looked good on radar while nothing was falling, and then it did start snowing around 10:30 am but only fell for an hour and it was very wet and didn't stick, just large wet flakes.
  16. I think it will happen between Jan 5-10 with not much before then
  17. I have a strong feeling that you believe the coast will have to wait for January for the pattern to benefit us.
  18. I think part of the reason is snow's albedo. It reflects back what little light we get and lessens the effects of SAD. It literally brightens things up!
  19. You also dont undermeasure like NYC has done in our biggest and smallest storms....31 or 32 may be closer to the true average.
  20. snow measurement is the least scientific part of meteorology- look how much measurement methods have changed over the years and all these claims of undermeasuring, etc. There are many specific storms that can be pointed to for undermeasurement of snow here, and even one of them would have brought us over the 30 inch average. Exhibit A should be January 1996......
  21. we've had March be very snowy in this kind of ENSO....maybe we shouldnt be concentrating so much on ENSO, there are other factors which can be more important
