  1. Yes thats what I was thinking also....first an interior threat at the end of Jan and then -maybe- a BIG storm for the coast sometime between Jan 5 and the 10th. Notice now we're all thinking of 95-96 lol.
  2. oh nvmd just saw it....having a power outage Xmas Eve night would SUCK.
  3. I heard some in the media mention that the megaband up near Binghamton robbed N NJ and the LHV of moisture and that's why they got dryslotted in the early evening hours
  4. I was somewhat surprised to see that JM in Huntington only got 8"- about the same amount I got in the western part of the south shore.
  5. maybe we shouldn't clean up our aerosol emissions then....there is a school of thought that blocking 1% of the sun's radiation would be an effective greenhouse effect blocker, in the near term anyway.
  6. Don what do you think of this talk of the la nina going away early this season? Is there any basis for this?
  7. wait shouldn't this also include the Jan 2013 and 2016 storms, it's not just about the interior, it's happening all over the east....
  8. and it's probably better for us if it happens in January, all of the ones you mentioned happened in January I believe.
  9. Don I wanted to ask you about this: Since 1950, there have been five cases where a La Niña developed during June-July-August or afterward following an El Niño winter. 4/5 (80%) of those cases saw a predominant EPO+/AO+ winter pattern. The most recent such case was 2016-17. 10/11 (91%) of the La Niña winters that followed an El Niño winter featured a predominantly positive EPO. Aren't la ninas after el ninos supposed to be exceptionally snowy? Two cases in point are 1995-96 and 2010-11
  10. whats the time frame for these high gusts? Christmas eve (night)? or during the day or what and how long are they forecast to last?
  11. for the rest of Dec though you dont foresee another big snowstorm correct? This might be more like 1996 and we watch to Jan- which is fine by me. The longer we wait the bigger it'll probably be. Didn't someone say that when you have a 10"+ storm in Dec 9 put of 10 winters had another one later in the winter?
  12. in January it might be better to have above normal temps and high noreaster activity, below normal temp Jan usually means a suppressed pattern and it can still snow in Jan with above normal temps- as a matter of fact that might be preferred.
  13. Chris remember Dec 1995 when we had the mid Dec snowstorm and then it got very cold after that and the snowpack persisted through both Christmas and New Years and was even around for the Jan 1996 blizzard? We got the big melt a week or so after the big blizzard and we even had severe weather in Jan with temps in the mid and upper 60s with lots of flooding and the big Massapequa supermarket roof collapse!
  14. What are those three pterodactyl like things flying around on that map lol?
  15. going back to la nina norms, isn't this a classic situation...la ninas and christmas rapid snowmelt and flooding lol?
  16. I still remember Mallow celebrating whenever a La Nina was forecast because he thought Seattle would be getting a ton of snow and the NE would get screwed lol.
  17. well people in the Pac NW have been talking about a snowdrought ever since 1966-67
  18. good I knew climate change had to have some positive effect and warming of both the Pacific and Atlantic seems to be it....killing off of the negative influence of la ninas in the Pacific and making noreaster precip bombs much more likely in the Atlantic are some good results for us weather enthusiasts.
  19. close to 8" in the Rockaways as thats what the total from Howard Beach was, cant find the PNS to see what the JFK or LGA totals were, but we had close to 8 here about 2 miles north of your former residence in Long Beach. Did you hit 10" in Huntington? I see you had a last late burst of snow that ended around 1 PM or 2?
