    Something I find interesting and something we now lack are the west to east bowling ball lows that pass about 100 miles south of us. These were fairly common in the 80s an 90s and gave us semifrequent 4-6 inch snowstorms (they occurred 2-3 times a winter and although they weren't benchmark tracks, they did not mix or change over and temperatures stayed in the 20s during these events.) This kind of storm could work in a fast Pacific flow and although they would only give us snow for around 12 hours, they'd still be good for a moderate 4-6 inch snowfall. But that kind of track, with the low exiting off of Delaware or south NJ seems to have gone away. Also related to the SE ridge being strong or the suppressive fast Pacific flow? We are always either under the influence of one or the other. We don't even get the lows along the arctic fronts anymore that also used to dump 4-6 inches of snow. We had something like that in December but it just wasn't cold enough to give us a substantial snow and break that 4 inch barrier.

    But never this strong. The funny thing is, it isn't even causing lake effect anymore.

    One more bust that no one really talks about is the January 2008 Heavy Snow Warning bust.... remember that one lol?

    Philly only has 50% of their normal snowfall this winter, I wonder if they should no longer be included in the Mid Atlantic? This has really been a below the Mason Dixon line winter.

    Interesting how the top map has us for 30% chance of 1 inch of snow and the bottom map says it's going to be 4.0-4.4 inches of snow. I'd bet a significant amount that Central Park will NOT get 4 inches of snow.

    I dont even care if they get 100 inches, just get this crazy wind out of here and make it warmer.

    Definitely C- here, I might even give it a D for the stupid storm we tracked for no reason that just pissed me the hell off plus the useless wind last night and the power and heat outage I had. Now that I think about it. It's a D-!

    Baltimore is above average too isn't it? It's interesting how Philly is so far below normal, even more than us. It's not been a Mid Atlantic winter, it's been a below the Mason Dixon line winter.

    Question, why does a fast pacific prevent benchmark tracks vs the suppressed cutter and hugger tracks? What keeps them going but prevents benchmark tracks specifically? I thought that was more controlled by the SE ridge?

    My house was shaking last night and lost power and heat for 2 hours. There's nothing I despise more than useless wind.

    wild how the south shore of central long island got 1.3 inches while NYC and JFK only got 0.5 lol Was the JFK number adjusted downward to 0.4, the last report I saw had both JFK and NYC at 0.5

    There is no weather I hate more than wind. Lost power and heat last night but it was back after a couple of hours. High winds are so absolutely useless.

    hail here now on the south shore, this reminds me of New Years Eve but without thunder and lightning, just hail.

    Wow a wall of water just came through and I hear hail too

    air pressure down to 29.00 here I want to see it go under 29 !
  17. LibertyBell
    a HUGE BUST
  18. LibertyBell
    29.02 here, it's going to keep going down until that cold front comes through?
  19. LibertyBell
    wow that's right near I-80

    Since 1895, there were 17 storms that brought 8" or more snow to Norfolk. The breakdown for NYC snowfall was: 6" or more: 24%; Less than 1": 76%; Don, this means there was no snowfall between 1 and 6 inches-- they were all either 6+ or under 1 inch?
  21. LibertyBell
    That's almost as much ice as we had on Long Island in January 1994, however back then we didn't get any wind or power outages from what I remember. The wind is what makes this truly terrible.
  22. LibertyBell
    Yes the wind is completely calm now.
  23. LibertyBell
    I remember those two storms and they were pretty decent here too, 4 inches in one and 6 inches in the other at JFK.
  24. LibertyBell
    People forget that Brooklyn on east everyone had 12" or more. It was only the park that had 6 inches or whatever they had,.

    It seems like a thread the needle pattern and it's either too far north or too far south. In a season like, say, 2014-15, we would have had snow across a wider range of solutions.
