    and Jan into Feb!

    I cant wait until some mad scientist develops climate engineering technology and sends us into the next ice age.

    the lack of 30 inch snowfall winters from 1978-79 through 1992-93 is unmatched in the recorded history of NYC

    whats the purpose of issuing 14 day forecasts anyway, all funds should be used to make 5 day forecasts as good as can be and just dont spend any money beyond that. Allocate funds to where better results are possible, not in fantasy land.

    I ignored winter after 1995-96 I knew it could never get any better so I just quit paying attention to the weather, I dont even remember what those winters were like. It's easier to have a very snowy winter and then not have another one for a few years than to never have experienced it (which is what happened for me in the 80s and early 90s) and always wonder what one would be like....

    we even had one in April that year with a blizzard and cold air for a week!

    I was looking at the Euro ensembles, they're all over the place! Storms like this could really use a track cone like we have for TCs lol.

    Yeah those things seem to be just as unpredictable as they were 30 years ago hence why noreasters are so hard to forecast 3 days out.

    We place way too much focus on ENSO, I have a feeling this would have been the case even without a La Nina. In a neutral phase for example. We might need a really strong El Nino to break this pattern (maybe next year lol). I wouldn't mind another 2015-16. Sacrifice December for a whopper come January/February.

    Yup, I'm just opening this is the beginning of a nice window and we'll score a hit or two in the next two weeks when it'll be much colder than it is now.

    thats what I'm wondering about- why was the 50/50 "not expected" we used to have these kinds of errors 30 years ago too, seems like some situations are so complex that the prediction error has remained about the same as back then. Fair weather can be predicted just fine, even mid range cold and mild shots, but the things we really care about, like storms like this, they're just as unpredictable as they ever were. Even 2 days out lol

    it's not about luck though, this was never going to be a coastal snowstorm even with the perfect track.
  13. LibertyBell
    funny thing is, Walt, that we still dont have an agreement on the models and the storm is 2 days away. Back in the 80s and 90s we didn't have a good idea about these storms two to three days out either, so I wonder where things have really improved in the past 30 years. Is this uncertainty due to the atmosphere just being so complex that even with the rapid improvement of technology that we still haven't caught up?

    I'm at 2000 ft NW of the city through Monday so I'm excited about the storm but I'm also excited about when I get back because it looks like we'll have about a 10 day window between Dec 10 and 20 when it could get quite wintry at the coast.
  15. LibertyBell
    well it's ended here now but looks like a winter postcard scene outside
  16. LibertyBell
    what about that day in February when we hit 80?
  17. LibertyBell
    some of my favorite storms of all time, but I think Jan 2016 tops the list. That infamous Feb 1922 storm would be the best of all time by far if only it was all snow..... Feb 1961 is up there too!
  18. LibertyBell
    2020 could still be the warmest year on record and that would be amazing in a La Nina, let along a strong one.
  19. LibertyBell
    I was thinking of that and/or the Millenium storm, super lite version.
  20. LibertyBell
    revenge of the Millenium storm, super lite edition

    New Zealand was the first nation to declare a climate emergency and has pledged to go green within 5 years (for all government vehicles and power sources) and says that corporations cannot be relied on to do it themselves and that leadership must come from the government. Way to go, New Zealand and Jacinda Ardern! She's my favorite world leader by far.

    He's a regular George Carlin lol.
  23. LibertyBell
    Yes...the winter that comes to mind for me is 2005-06 where we had a cold early December (and snow from the city on west) and then a mild latter December and January with a minor snowfall in January and one big snowstorm in February surrounded by warmth and then a cold and dry March and a renegade early April snowfall to get us to 40"
  24. LibertyBell
    Hell you dont even need a big threat for people to get excited around here lol. They're happy if a model ANY model shows what they want to see, even if it's one that shows the planet upside down..... It's the same people who would measure snow with the ruler upside down if it made them think they got more snow.
  25. LibertyBell
    It reminds me of summer lol. How much do the high temps in the Atlantic have to do with this, Chris?
