    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!
  2. LibertyBell
    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.

    yes "average temps" are very deceptive and not really indicative of how extreme a month can get.... March 1990 and 1998 were a lot more memorable than March 2012 for us. Are the lower maxes indicative of a more humid and rainy climate?

    one of my favorite April snows.... we had 6" here on the south shore of LI

    70s would be a disappointment at this rate.... let's go for mid 80s and higher! like March 1990 and 1998. In 1998 we were in the upper 80s a week after we had 5" of snow lol. In 1990 we were in the upper 80s in the middle of March and then saw an inch of snow in early April lol.

    see summer of 1995 for Chicago.... hundreds of people died, temps hit 106 on back to back days.... and remember all the wild fires here? 0 rainfall for August after hitting 103 in July with a 130 heat index at LGA in late July.

    thats what I've been saying for awhile now. The lawns looked like straw that summer lol.... remember we had a heatwave in the middle of April that year with low humidity and the bluest skies I've ever seen- so wonderful!
  8. LibertyBell
    there's something called the winter severity index and I wonder what the top 5 years are on that list for being the least and most severe for us? It comes temp and snowfall, so I would put 2001-02 at the top of the list for being the least severe.
  9. LibertyBell
    why was it so easy to reach the mid 80s in March 1990 and it doesn't seem to be so easy anymore? Higher humidity/wetter months?
  10. LibertyBell
    thats why I was wondering if the growing season started earlier that year- we had a very late first freeze and a very early last freeze lol. I bet there is a very short list of under 10 inch snowfall seasons that aren't strong or super el ninos.
  11. LibertyBell
    the difference between a trace of snow and 0 snow is a distinction without a difference :-P Besides, leap day is a fake day anyway (see my above post)....I'd rather have the extra day in the summer!
  12. LibertyBell
    no snow fell here, 4 miles from JFK. Leap day is a fake day at the end of February anyway....sure let's just randomly stick a day at the end of the second month of the year just so our calendars dont go out of whack. I'd rather have the day added at the end of June to make our summer a day longer! Besides T is equivalent to 0 snow anyway.
  13. LibertyBell
    Yeah that was my favorite March storm! I remember the temp off the ocean was below freezing and we got freezing drizzle off a "sea breeze"- the first time I've ever seen that! In February I remember seeing snow crystals falling out of a clear blue sky- strange sight!
  14. LibertyBell
    Did 2001-02 have an earlier leaf out than this?
  15. LibertyBell
    this winter definitely had the feel of 1989-90. Thats why I was wondering if we would get similar heat in March. Chris, are there any winters where all three winter months averaged over 40 F? And how many winters that weren't strong or super el ninos had as little snowfall as this winter has had?
  16. LibertyBell
    please no April 1997 repeats. we got 1-2 in that "storm"
  17. LibertyBell
    even that upside down model has to be better than this!
  18. LibertyBell
    I'd love dry westerly winds all spring interspersed with evening t-storms!
  19. LibertyBell
    Those big storms last night were the first sign of spring I've seen....or has it been with us all along?! It feels like fall skipped to spring a few months ago lol.
  20. LibertyBell
    It's going to be a new class of snowstorm that's been quite common this season- the Labrador Retriever ;-)
  21. LibertyBell
    Yep, I wasted so much time on those videos and reading his nonsense overhyped stuff lol. I was thinking about something, outside of strong to super el ninos, when have we gotten less than 10 inches of snow? I can only think of this season and 2001-02. I forgot how much NYC got in 2011-12, but it must have been more than this since they started off the season with the Octosnowstorm.

    Living solar power cells, household microgrids and more projects in the works for the decentralized grid of the future. I like this- so we could make our own power and sell the excess to our neighbors. They've already started doing this in Brooklyn.
  23. LibertyBell
    $53 million in fines, even better. I'm glad Cuomo banned new gas lines in the NYC metro area (NYC/LI at least) and banned fracking also. There's one politician at least who has an IQ in the triple digits.
  24. LibertyBell
    I remember hearing about ITER- good to know they're still making progress. IMHO "cheap gas" isn't the way to go, especially because of the methane leaks associated with it. Fusion is the ultimate answer.
  25. LibertyBell
    I'm curious to see what the snowfall totals were for areas west of Long Island, even the city got 3" in that Octosnowstorm. But outside of that event, I remember zilch from that season!
