    what do you think of this talk of a PV insertion in early March and a return to much colder weather, Chris? FWIW looks like we have two snow events to go through before the current pattern breaks, the one on Thursday and then one more next Monday. NYC should get over 40" on the season with those and JFK will be somewhere in the 30s"

    I remember when I first came across BNL snowfall data back in 1995-96 I thought it was on an entirely different island lol. It's so different from JFK, BNL has much more of a New England climate and does much better in storms that also benefit New England the most. But if you go over the entire climate record, say back to the 60s or however far back records go at both locations, it probably evens out, dont you think? A 35" average is amazing, much closer to Boston than it is to NYC. I bet JFK's average is like 25" if that.

    I've never bought into this nina/nino climo stuff as I've seen a wide range out outcomes with each phase, not enough evidence to favor one over the other. Besides we're in a much different climate pattern now vs 50 years ago so I doubt what applied then still applies anymore. Our best and worst winters and biggest snowstorms have occurred in each phase and at all times of the season. People try to simplify LR forecasting too much when they rely on just one thing when in reality a vast array of competing factors determine the outcome.

    The first week of March, I told you to watch out for it lol

    This seems like a more normal track for storms to take, I think if you averaged out all the different tracks storms could take this would be the most common for storms that affect our area... I'm not sure if the traditional benchmark tracks are "normal" as Islip's average annual snowfall is less than Newark's. The types of big bombs that we have gotten with those tracks are something you'd expect once a decade or so, not every year. We've got a high percentage of snow with these storms so it's all good.

    the Feb 1899 arctic outbreak was accompanied by a historic snowstorm, I believe the statehouse in Tallahassee saw 2 inches and even Tampa had measurable snow? All of the above arctic outbreaks had temps of 0 or below in NYC.

    cant even say it's because we're a coastal area because Houston is right near the gulf lol

    one thing I've always wondered about....was this a failing of the models or did something radically different happen to change the outcome? Like some sort of unpredictable black swan event.

    if that airmass had hit us directly, I dont think it would have gotten to below zero here. Single digits maybe

    why not block all untraceable IP until they give you credit card info to verify identity?

    wow even the Poconos are in the mid 40s think we finally hit 50 here, Chris?

    I've seen some cams from there with snow piling up live and it reminds me of what we saw in cams from Boxing Day in Monmouth County, but even higher rates and lasted much longer. I remember they had skiing July 4th one year.

    what is it going to take to push that ridge out? why dont ridges move like storms do
  14. LibertyBell
    seems like the storm last December

    wow and I thought the mountains in WA had the most snow, looks like Tahoe may have set a world record for snowfall.

    I dont think we had much snow in March 1969 did we? March 1978 did have one decent 3-5 inch event.

    that was my favorite summer.....here are the GOATs...Babe Ruth, Tom Brady, Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzsky, Secretariat, Jack Nicklaus, Jim Thorpe, Michael Phelps, Jessie Owens, Carl Lewis, THE WINTER OF 1996 and THE SUMMER OF 2010 ! We're back in the 11 yr cycle.
  18. LibertyBell
    but we still had an amazing winter that year, did the AO go back down again?
  19. LibertyBell
    wow could you imagine Tahoe weather occurring in NY people would go absolutely crazy!
  20. LibertyBell
    Chris what changed to cause the rapid rise?
  21. LibertyBell
    wow we dipped to below -5 twice in 09-10 and then again in Dec 2010
  22. LibertyBell
    That was in Feb I think and ACY got 20 inches we got zilch well we got virga but thats it another blown 8 inch call
  23. LibertyBell
    oh thats why CAD affected them more than those two snowstorms did- they had NE winds! NE wind affects LGA more?
  24. LibertyBell
    started at 3? thats early- and started as not snow which wasn't expected
