yes that storm wasn't well predicted. If you extend it to March 20-23, didn't we have one in March 1994, a 4" to end that season? I remember a few seasons that had their last measurable snowfall in that period right near the equinox. March 2015 should be on this list too.

March 1996 was highly underrated, didn't we get 3x 4" snowfalls that month? And then another one on April 10th!

If snow was covered in tarp would that protect the snow cover (and also lessen this damn fog?)

28 actually remember 2 of those occurred on February eve lol

This can come back.....it's not even that far off.

I saw a map on TV that showed where snowfall had risen, where it had stayed the same and where it had decreased. It seemed to coincide with similar rises and falls in total annual precipitation- where it snows of course.

So the actual numbers never seem to rise as much as the decade to decade change. I wonder if at some point the 30 yr norms will rise at a heightened pace.

which decade has represented the greatest rise in temperatures, Chris? was it this one? I mean this most recent one that ended

I dont think this will ever change regardless of what ENSO state we're in.

looks like next winter will be a neutral? I think most of the snow season is done on the east coast, so just looking back on it, looks like above normal snowfall occurred Philly on north while it was below normal Baltimore on south.

Yeah this is what happens when you dont abide by federal regulations, they are there for a reason.

nuclear+renewables is the best combo. I see we now have automated vehicles mining for materials at the sea floor, so this should lessen the carbon footprint you mentioned. Thats why I think the pandemic sounded the death knell for the fossil fuel cartels, it was nature's way of fighting back against the virus that is humanity and its overpopulation of the planet which has destroyed the environment and resulted in a mass extinction event for most other species. We've reached a tipping point and once any species becomes too dominant, it goes bye bye or gets severely reduced- that's how the system is built to work. To "beat" this system and reach a new overhead, you'll eventually have to colonize space. Hence all the investment in space going on by billionaires.

I'd muchhhhhhhhhhhhhh rather have the snowy February than the "snowy" March When was the last time we had 20" of snow in March lol. Interesting with over 2 ft of snow this February and it's still only the 5th snowiest since 2003. Of course we should also include the 2" that fell on February 1 eve but that's another story. How come 2014-15 isn't on either of these lists? That had a nice JFM combo!

Yeah just hearing him talk about enso makes me want to dump all the plastic in the world right into the Pacific and end enso forever so no one ever uses it anymore because the Pacific Ocean is just a big heaping pile of trash.

My favorite was March 2009, with March 2015 right behind it.

also after 1983 8 inches was a big deal and until 1993

That April storm was my favorite, even though the late March event had more snow (the April storm was 6" pure snow while the late March storm was 8" slop changing to snow.)

it's also all this damned urbanization. Hopefully the green movement gets rid of the concrete.

media coverage of the mountains is frustratingly bad. Watch NEP or any of the other networks and they behave like the mountains dont even exist in their forecasts or that they're only a place to go skiing not where people actually live lol. Snowcover is actually closer to 30" I'll be posting some pics, I just have to sort through them. edit I cant post a 4.4 mb image?

also probably the worst noreaster of all time for NYC and Long Island. Although I think 1888 and 1922 might also be in the running.

I would bet it's the first time since 1993-94 which was their record winter.

Wait 1977 had three heat waves peaking over 100 degrees? Oh I wasn't talking about 1966, I wish I was alive then that would've been my favorite summer of all time (before 2010 of course.)

The Sahara desert is shrinking? Where do you get this crap fake science from dude? The Sahara Desert is EXPANDING because of long term drought. Farming is exploding? Yeah if by exploding you mean that it's getting blown up that is DESTROYED. The new climate regime is causing massive floods in the heartland and farmers in red states have admitted that if climate change is allowed to continue they'll be out of business. and LOL at more CO2 means more food. This is a high level of ignorance right here, more CO2 actually means LESS nutritious food and more climate migrations that's why you have people at your Southern border trying to get in because the places they used to live in became unlivable because they can no longer grow food there. And now it's YOUR responsibility to take care of them.

lol the WSJ is disgusting, no wonder everyone hates wall street outside of the corrupt conglomerates. Elsewhere I found this: https://www.wsj.com/articles/californias-climate-contradictions-11614381973?mod=trending_now_opn_4 The state requires renewables like wind and solar to make up 60% of electricity generation by 2030. The study says renewable prices (albeit with subsidies) are now roughly the same as other power sources, but utilities signed long-term contracts with solar and wind producers years ago when prices were higher. Utilities also need backup power when it’s cloudy, which adds costs. Yet the state sometimes has to pay Arizona to take its excess solar power to avoid overloading the grid. And here’s the kicker: Folks with solar panels get paid for surplus power they don’t use—sometimes at two to three times the rate of wholesale power. So California pays the well-to-do to generate solar power it doesn’t need and then pays Arizona to take it. LOL so they ignore the 5 TRILLION in subsidies the corrupt fossil fuel cartels get, which is 10x more than we fund education in this country, which is on purpose, they want people to be so dumb they cant do basic math and so they believe the lies they spout at them. Elsewhere in their editorials they are whining about "How could a nice guy like Trump lose this election" etc etc, just to show you how out of touch the WSJ is with reality. I honestly hope they go bankrupt along with the corrupt fossil fuel cartels, and the subsidies are coming to an end now and it's about time.

Here's some real numbers for you, wind power only accounts for 10% of the power there so how is it that half the state was without power, so either they are too dumb to understand basic math or they are corrupt and lying- I say it's both. In addition to that they're conveniently burying the fact that they dont go by federal regulations and find the cheap way out- which now ironically will cost them even more.
