    Yes thats the thing, we can criticize his hype of snow but also recognize that he inspired many millions of people to get interested in weather

    it's not 5 years though he's been awful since his blown call in the winter of 2001-2.

    and with the current storm we are seeing the -5 AO cause a cutter

    the reverse sea breeze

    snowfall has a much higher variance.

    it's only December that's +5. And although there is usually only one big storm, you also usually get 2-3 moderate storms.

    yeah worried about power outages, 1" of ice is historic
  8. LibertyBell
    hot and dry is great running weather

    high resolution garbage in still = high resolution garbage out; ie. errors in those high res details, such as convective parameterizations, reach many of the members which all have the same physics and then amplify) this definitely explains that one 00z model suite when all the models got on board all at the same time... there must have been some bad high resolution data that was in that entire suite.

    But the snowy la ninas are more snowy than snowy el ninos because a snowy la nina has more of a potential to be a beginning to end snowy winter. the really snowy el ninos, like 02-03 also have a lot of snow in December, so that is one of the few beginning to end snowy el nino winters.

    26 inches at JFK and our second best winter in my lifetime after 1995-96, both finished with a bang with a snowstorm in April!

    our second double digit snowstorm of our most historic winter, the big return after the January thaw.

    this had to have caused a lot of damage like the flooding we had in the rainstorm after the January 1996 blizzard 1899 - Washington D.C. received 1.26 inches of rain in six hours atop a snow cover more than 30 inches deep making it the soggiest day of record. (Sandra and TI Richard Sanders - 1987)

    a very underrated snowstorm, the second double digit snowfall of that very memorable winter

    our longest duration snowcover, beat the record from 1947-48
  16. LibertyBell
    wow this sounds like it would be absolutely catastrophic-- like our rainstorm after January 1996 caused roofs to collapse 1899 - Washington D.C. received 1.26 inches of rain in six hours atop a snow cover more than 30 inches deep making it the soggiest day of record. (Sandra and TI Richard Sanders - 1987)

    what happened to that last snow event at the end of February lol
  18. LibertyBell
    2009-2010? That was an absolutely amazing winter even with the miss in early February, NYC set its new record for monthly snowfall with 36.0 broken in January 2011 with 36.9. We also had the 15 inch snowstorm here in December 2009.

    snow never verifies that far out but you know warmth will

    I remember 2-2-11 had ice on top of a big snowpack-- that snowpack lasted through Valentines Day that year!! I remember that VD 2007 storm was similar to January 1994 in that the temperatures rose above freezing once east of Freeport but for us in SW Nassau both storms kept temps at 31 or under throughout the storm.
  21. LibertyBell
    that snow was very memorable too, my favorite early season snowstorm
  22. LibertyBell
    Did our area have its lowest recorded SSTs in February 2015? I remember back then it was reported our SST were only a degree or two above freezing.
  23. LibertyBell
    those same places might get a snowstorm on Thursday lol
  24. LibertyBell
    That was snowier than this winter just because of that one week in the middle of February when we had a 4 incher and a 6 incher here. JFK total of 12.8 that winter, so far 11.1 this winter.

    If our winters temporarily get colder like this one did then you'll know this is right. Not to the magnitude of what happened in the 70s and 80s but not as mild as the last few have been. 1981-82 was like an ice age winter..... crazy that we lived through April 1982, that will be very difficult to replicate.
