  1. thats right, I remember that storm kept trending more and more north. Those were the two largest back to back snowstorms I've yet seen. Might have been some Pinatubo influence on that winter too?
  2. yeah if we truly had that extreme arctic air here it would very likely be frigid and dry with the storm track suppressed to the gulf coast and florida
  3. 2001 was close (2000-01 la nina) 2000-01...-4.854...02/25/2001...Dec snowstorm... from Uncle How many la ninas have had a -5 SD at some point in the winter? I saw 10-11 is also in the list, but that one was in late December
  4. sounds like 2" likely for SW Nassau Don?
  5. I wonder if Feb 1934 was colder there.
  6. any chances of us finally having a widespread below 0 outbreak?
  7. what was happening in 1993-94 that caused so many storms all season and many of them being mixed/ice storms? JFK still got close to 50 inches so it was pretty amazing.
  8. in my other house in the Poconos we reached -22 and there was enough snow to cut my house in half (a two story house became a one story house lol).....I think that's still the record snowfall season at Allentown.
  9. As we're getting further and further away from it, we're realizing more and more how exceptional of a winter that truly was. It had everything, extreme arctic cold, big snowstorms, big ice storms, 30 storms for the whole winter, a storm every 3 days, the city ran out of salt, and if TWC had been naming storms back then, they would have run out of several alphabets worth of names haha.
  10. Walt, snowfall for 6 consecutive days on Long Island?
  11. Yes, the classic 1973 storm (or was it 1974?) Hard to find data on the biggest ice storms online unlike with snowstorms, unless you personally experienced them
  12. Hey neighbor, got one for my area? Looks like around 5" in the Hazelton area- I'm just east of that as you know. One storm can change a pattern- remember Boxing Day 2010?
  13. also lab creates artificial meat by using lab cultures of cow cells, uses 3D printer to mass produce, "new meat" will be in stores soon!
  14. you must not have been around in January 1994. There was 12-24 hours of freezing rain with temps in the single digits. I remember seeing a report out of Poughkeepsie..... "heavy freezing rain temp 3 degrees" !
  15. it's already happened here and it was far bigger than what's on those maps. I dont think Jan 1994 will ever be equaled.
  16. uhhh it already happened and it was far bigger than 97- I'm talking about January 1994 historic ice storm. It was so beautiful! We had everything that winter, big snowstorms with thundersnow during the day back to back in February, historic ice storm in January and two shots of subzero cold! and even a big sleet storm before the ice storm lol. We had close to 2 inches of ice on the south shore of Long Island!
  17. Can it also happen during the day? I love that stuff too, seeing it makes me feel like I'm dreaming lol. I hope we get to see it this winter, it's very rare down here!
  18. suppression is also in play (a reverse gradient pattern?) as the next storm will miss us to the south.
  19. Question is can February reach or exceed 30" of snow or even 40".....we're going to get past 20" this month before Valentine's Day! Heck, we're not even 10 days into the month yet!
  20. what's this thing we sometimes get- last time I saw it was in 2015 which was also extremely cold in February right to the end of the month.....the skies were crystal clear deep blue, but I saw these tiny snow flakes, they looked like little diamonds, floating down from the sky? nothing on radar of course
  21. wow that reminds me of some record Siberian cold high pressures....isn't there a record from there of around 31.00 inches?
  22. Thanks, it seems like the big AO/NAO block has been keeping us from hitting 50 and looks like that might continue for the rest of the month. I read that Philly got 9 inches from the last storm? Can you double check that?
