  1. you were wrong....3:30 AM to 7 AM was amazing here with temps crashing into the mid 20s and heavy snow and high winds, transformers bursting looking like lightning and zero visibility here. Didnt expect it but thoroughly enjoyed it
  2. do you have snowfall totals for our official reporting stations? My favorite part of this event was between 3:30 am and 7 am when the temps plummeted and we had near white out conditions with heavy snow and high winds here....didn't expect that at all.
  3. 10" is the break even point as far as predicting a better than average snowfall winter.
  4. Binghamton would have been closer to him and had the historic snowfall. How many 40"+ synoptic snowstorms have occurred in the northeast?
  5. yes see this proves my point that ENSO is not as useful of a predictor as AO/NAO are. The La Nina is still there of course, but it is not influencing our weather as much as AO/NAO are.
  6. that still rounds to 30, I find it acceptable at this point, especially with how horrible last season was.
  7. but we've also had extremely backloaded la nina winters like we had in 55-56 and a few years ago. I just think we shouldn't depend too much on ENSO. AO and NAO are far better predictors for us.
  8. Count me in as an ENSO skeptic, I've lived long enough to have experienced great la ninas and horrible el ninos.....I just dont think the science is there to use ENSO alone as an indicator.....other factors are more important like the NAO and AO. But we use ENSO out of sheer laziness, because it is the easiest to predict.
  9. The end of the storm was more exciting than the beginning....it changed back to all snow here at 3:30 AM (even while the north shore of Suffolk County was still raining I might add), and it snowed hard here for 3 hours with high winds and almost white out conditions as the temperatures crashed into the upper 20s by 4 AM. The wind blew so hard that I saw transformers popping like lightning and my power flickered! I heard the airports all had snowfall records for the date (I assume that was for yesterday). What were the totals as of now, Don?
  10. New Euro looks amazing has 12 inches for extreme eastern LI
  11. it would be nice if he did a personalized snow report for my "other home" which is just north of Tatamy and at 2000 ft
  12. You know what this kind of reminds me of? Two storms....we had a storm in Dec 1995 at the start of the cold pattern that had 7" at JFK 8" at NYC and 14" at LGA....lingering backend snows after it changed back over from rain to snow and that caused a plain to slide off the runway. The other one was Jan 26 2011 without the amazing back end that storm had, but also had a dry slot and then a changeover from sleet to snow.
  13. Think the western part of the south shore is a better place to be than the eastern part? Remember in March 1993 on a more westward track, JFK and Oceanside still got double digit snowfall while eastern parts of the south shore did much worse. Also how much snow on the backside tomorrow?
  14. thats not a classic noreaster lol- in the weather textbook I read Feb 1983 was mentioned as a classic noreaster, look that one up.
  15. I got a question perhaps you can answer....other storms that have taken this same or very similar track have been all snow, what's keeping that from happening with this one, it looks like it will pass considerably south of Long Island (like by more than 50 miles)
  16. so that 30.9 measurement at JFK in the Jan 2016J storm would've been max snow depth at the end?
  17. wasn't the 1996 storm all snow? didn't break that record until 2016 here although 2003 came close.
