These super tall buildings are a real eyesore. They are rectangular and just look ugly and completely changed the classic NYC skyline (9/11 did that too.)

it caught my ear too.... the first time in my life I've heard Western Nassau jackpot lmao "Stay tuned at 11" was the tag at the end to tell us "where I paint the snowfall jackpot"

it must be because of that long lasting blocking. weird thing is based on how we had the Lindsey storm (over 20 inches at JFK and LGA), you'd think we should've had a much higher seasonal snowfall total than 30"...I wonder if there were a lot of close calls that winter?

it reminds me of one of those classic early 90s storms that literally came out of nowhere, all day photogenic snow before we had a brief arctic shot.....back then these deals would dump about 4-8 inches, let's see what this one does.

he used to be on here!

it doesn't look right.....note where the position of the low is....the heaviest precip is going to be NE of the low? That low is going west of the BM on that track and MVY should be changing to rain based on that track with heavy snow further to the west.

Lee Goldberg mentioned an 8" jackpot somewhere between S CT, W Nassau and Monmouth county and a very photogenic all day snowstorm with heavy snowfall rates in the middle of the day.

both are labeled as Kuchera and the newer one (bottom) seems to show that the heaviest precip has moved NW

the classic pattern of Euro sniffing out a storm in the long range, losing it in the mid range and it and other models bringing it back in the short range

Don is JFK at 20.2"?

hmmm that might have carried the famous Dec 1947 storm over 30"

wow 112 is impressive! You must get really hot there, Ed The highest I've ever recorded is 105.6 in July 2011 which was the hottest day I've ever experienced. The previous record was 103.8 recorded just the year before during the hottest summer I ever experienced.

wow 2015 is in first place by a lot over 2011.....

Don I heard Lee Goldberg say that this storm could be a very rare SW Nassau jackpot of 8 inches. I also really like that this will be an all day time event, those are very photogenic.

Dec storm was similar to 1995-96, the only thing that separates this winter from 1995-96 right now is the historic Jan 1996 blizzard

thats very interesting Chris.....let's take the Jan 2016 storm at JFK as an example....how much of a difference was there between final storm total and the max snowfall depth at any point during the storm or immediately after it ended?

a half inch of sleet, when was this?

I would have loved to have experienced any of those three winters during the 60s though, they all must've been amazing. And the 1966 Summer as well as Donna in 1960! March 1960 snowstorm and Feb 1969 in addition to the ones in the winters I mentioned also.

I looked through 1960s data and it seems like the only really good seasons were 1960-61 and 1966-67. There were a lot of middling seasons and one somewhat better than average (1963-64). Overall for the decade though yes it was our last 30" average before the 00s. The 80s were the worst though but the winters were still much colder than they are now (especially January) and the 70s were the second worst (thank goodness for 77-78!)

Something underreported was the storm surge with this. I heard that a snow plow almost got swept out to see when the waters from Jamaica Bay came in near Far Rockaway.

Hey James, will I be able to get in my driveway tomorrow lol? I'm going to the Poconos for the weekend, around 2,000 ft elevation near Albrightstville and Lake Harmony. Based on the PNS I saw the totals were between 24-28 inches? I didn't see anything over 30 inches being reported there. Just 1 county north of Allentown and halfway between Allentown and Mount Pocono. I'll be right near Mount Pocono on I-80 and then head a bit south to get there. And can you post a nice color coded map like the one you posted from I-80 on south to Allentown? Thanks!

it amazes me that they're always so slow to fix such obvious model errors, there should be some self-correcting built in- isn't this the age of AI?

wasnt PD2 preceded by a major storm?

2014-15 was our last truly great snow season

um it's already happened in Jan 2016.....New York City exists outside of Manhattan and I submit that we shouldn't use Central Park for our data.
