drawing parallels to Jan 1999 Don? We had a snow event that month
-
Hopefully. We might have to go through a transition average winter first though (like what 2012-13 was). Going from 2001-02 right to 2002-03 wont happen unless we have a strong el nino next year.
-
I still say we have a ceiling of 100 inches of snow here. I've read old reports that both NYC and Philly got 100 inches of snow in a couple of years in the 1800s and as recently as the 1860s.
-
Let's see if we get that again in a few years. 2009-10 and 2010-11 and 2013-14 and 2014-15 maybe have been our best back to back combos. Totally worth getting that skunk stinker 2011-12 in between.
-
for a few years there it seemed like winters actually started on January 20th. That place was a war zone that year. FWIW I think 2014-15 was highly underrated for us, I found it to be much better than 2013-14 for us on Long Island. 2013-14 was good too but too many changeover events and I'd rather have the heaviest snows to our northeast rather than changeover. February 2015 was the most Arctic like month I've ever witnessed here start to finish and March 2015 was my favorite March in a long time.
-
it depends on what kind of snow it is-- all is not created equal if its 1/2 of normal snow in storms that change to rain and is washed away getting no snow at all is far better
-
the shocking part was that 2014-15 was a backloaded winter....all that snow in Boston and they were canceling winter on New Years LOL
-
it's too pretty to eat!
-
December average snowfall is going down and average temperature is going up.
-
arent all patterns gradient patterns though?
-
They can still deliver in March though....1955-56 and 2017-18 are good examples.
-
we had a back loaded one just a few years ago with 4 snowstorms in March and one in April..... was that 2017-18? We also had 1955-56, remember that? Backloaded la ninas have still delivered 30-40 inches of snow
-
actually neither reality nor nonsense look good for us
-
Yeah we have new normals now BUT the good thing is that January and February are still our coldest months. December is absolutely finished as a winter month so it shouldn't even count as one.
-
and Seattle will have their first white Christmas in many years with an actual snowstorm today! I know a few people in Kamloops and that area in general and they just weren't ready for this. I remember a few years ago an entire town in Alberta burned down too.
-
I'd rather watch out of town teams that actually win games. Bad teams should be told to put their games on RSN's
-
Giants and Jets shouldnt even be allowed on TV
-
chin up, we can still get minor snowfalls in a pattern like this, we just had one this morning stop expecting double digit snowstorms every season those should be a once in a decade event
-
You can still get minor snowfalls with a -PNA like this (we just had one today). As the season goes on and if this stays the way it is we could still get minor events. People get way too spoiled with double digit snowfalls. Keep your expectations in check, and you can get 1-4" inch type snowfalls in ANY kind of pattern. We had a lot of those in the 80s when it was much worse than it is now.

2.5" in the Poconos and 0.5" near Hempstead -
Prediction of the first snowfall for the NYC area.

It has to, otherwise we'll be waiting a few more months. -
does this change to rain in the middle of the storm or only when it's about to end (as drizzle)? is this all at night or does it snow in the morning too?
-
Christmas's best tradition are the ugly sweaters, so thanks for keeping the tradition alive!
-
why is this changing so radically from day to day and even from run to run? how can you have any faith in these changes when it could just as easily change again tomorrow (or later tonight!) let's just wait until it actually changes to say we're going to have a good pattern.
