  1. Maybe next winter will be like 2002-03 was. I see a lot of similarities between this winter and 2001-02. I could see this summer being like 2002 (hot/dry) also.
  2. we may not have any sporting events for like 2 months! I am going by China where they were in bad shape for 7 weeks before things started to improve.
  3. imagine if it was ALL SNOW. The other one I want to see is a redux of Feb 1921 ALL SNOW. check out the liquid equivalent of that storm lol. 5" = 50" of snow! what was going on back then that we had storms like those two?
  4. more than made up for in Jan 2016!
  5. so it went on in March 1888 even after the big blizzard?! I would like to see pictures from that!
  6. and looks like Seattle is going to get some snow!
  7. I loved the contrast between the winters and summers, the high dewpoint summers we are having now are definitely the worst, I'd much rather have the high heat low humidity summers that actually feel refreshing because the air is so dry. I think we're headed towards more of those summers, especially with the 11 year cycle peaking again next year.
  8. I wonder if we'll see another hot streak of summers like we did in the early 2010s
  9. that was one of the most amazing games to watch, I loved every second of it!
  10. shades of 2001-02 (and 1972-73 too)
  11. summer of 2010 was definitely my favorite..... hot and low humidity but active severe weather season in the fall...... 2009 through 2016 might have been my favorite time period of weather excluding the winter of 2011-12 of course.
  12. sea level rise has also been running at the upper limit of the models.
  13. thats the limit set by the Paris agreement right? How warm would we be by 2050 even if we achieve net carbon neutral by then?
  14. Siberia will become the world's bread basket at this rate
  15. early 90s were very similar.... but we had a solar maximum back then and a solar minimum now?
  16. Yep I dont remember it as well as 1995....but we definitely had lots of watering restrictions in 2002.... 1999 was another year with a drought and watering restrictions until Floyd hit.
  17. big fire season upcoming for Cali with 0" of rain in SF in Feb for the first time ever.... as a matter of fact the fires have already started (for us too)
  18. we had some unprecedented cold that month and right through April (basically nationwide)....we even had a 6 inch snowstorm in April to snow out the Yankees home opener! I lost power in the early March event you referenced....didn't the late March event also underperform for the city and western LI?
  19. what about Jan 2016? I think that was a Cat 4 snowstorm and had they accounted for the 30"+ that fell from Harrisburg to Allentown to Morris Plains to JFK, it would have ranked as the third highest storm on the NESIS scale, right behind March 1993 and Jan 1996. Come to think of it Jan 1996 should be top of the scale for the megalopolis. Feb 1983 should be up there too.
  20. and with the way we measure snow now this would have been 40"+ everywhere. Remember back in the 1800s snow was measured after settling. I wonder if there is some way to calculate what a 32" snowstorm measured at the end of the event would have been had it been measured every 6 hours to account for settling?
  21. are these storms shrinking in size? I remember in the past when coastal storms followed this kind of track we'd get hit with a significant snowstorm. Perhaps storms are becoming more intense but also more concentrated (developing properties more like tropical systems)?
  22. I dont know, I think the 95 last October was way more impressive lol.
  23. I still dont remember why it was such a big bust here.... a foot of snow was predicted lol- they even had more snow south of us!
  24. Yes and you could clearly see the snow sticking to the players hats! They still play that game on Yankee classics. JFK had 4" with that storm. April 1982, 1996, 2003, and 2018 were all memorable for snowstorms near Yankee home openers.....we seem to get about one every decade lol.
