  1. I remember that as the Central Long Island storm, in urbanized parts of western Long Island it was a nice storm but not as much as what we had on March 1, 2009 (granted the first day of March is more like late February than it is March.) The one I remember most in that series was the April snowstorm that shut down the Yankee opener.
  2. RJ whats the deep purple stuff near Long Beach? And the bright blue stuff just west of there? I wasn't aware western LI was a swing district....
  3. Long Island is weird with all these transition zones. Sometimes you get more snow on the south shore, sometimes less. In the huge historic storms, the south shore seems to get more snow. I'm just south of Peninsula Blvd, so a bit closer to the ocean than you, but I too have seen marginal events where it was snowing here (5"!) and JM was getting rain in Long Beach lol. That was an event during the 2009-10 winter. I remember JM was seeing red when he was seeing white just to his north by about 2 miles lol.
  4. Forky is the Stephen Hawking of the science community.
  5. Yeah Jan 2019 was my best too. That was 2 winters ago though, the one last winter, 2019-20, was okay but not as great as the one in Jan 2019.
  6. the sun is starting to come out here now too. They weren't kidding with the 1 PM end time for us.
  7. Yeah I remember that now too, and even that wasn't as great as the epic one we got the winter prior to that.
  8. yeah a real boring day in NE PA lol. Got a few drops of rain and some high winds...oh and it got really dark for a few minutes LOL
  9. I fondly remember that as the best storm we got all "winter." Actually besides the December and January events, did we even get anything else?
  10. Don how close did the mix get to the south shore? Not anywhere near JFK I surmise?
  11. Doctor Greg Postel is talking about it now, saying it's tracking west of the benchmark calling it a coastal hugger, saying it needs to track east of the benchmark to be snow for coastal areas.
  12. Oh yeah I remember that as the Albany storm, I never thought we had a chance with that.....we classify some storms as near misses, but that was an inland storm all the way.
  13. you'll still be coming down to the south shore during moderate to strong el ninos, when the south shore is traditionally the sweet spot in the big HECS
  14. why does it look like snow is confined to CT and points north on the radar?
  15. TWC giving bad info again saying this storm tracked too close to the coast for snow in coastal areas.
  16. I dont remember any historic storm last December lol- who was it historic for, Vermont?
  17. and the 20th might be a bit too optimistic. it's probably more like 13-18.....
  18. this is exactly why I'm gungho on geo-engineering remember how awful 2011 was, we could save so many lives if we prevented this kind of weather occurring in the first place by being able to control ENSO and other factors. Maybe in a few decades we'll have the tech to do it.
