  1. I'd love dry westerly winds all spring interspersed with evening t-storms!
  2. Those big storms last night were the first sign of spring I've seen....or has it been with us all along?! It feels like fall skipped to spring a few months ago lol.
  3. It's going to be a new class of snowstorm that's been quite common this season- the Labrador Retriever ;-)
  4. Yep, I wasted so much time on those videos and reading his nonsense overhyped stuff lol. I was thinking about something, outside of strong to super el ninos, when have we gotten less than 10 inches of snow? I can only think of this season and 2001-02. I forgot how much NYC got in 2011-12, but it must have been more than this since they started off the season with the Octosnowstorm.
  5. Living solar power cells, household microgrids and more projects in the works for the decentralized grid of the future. I like this- so we could make our own power and sell the excess to our neighbors. They've already started doing this in Brooklyn.
  6. $53 million in fines, even better. I'm glad Cuomo banned new gas lines in the NYC metro area (NYC/LI at least) and banned fracking also. There's one politician at least who has an IQ in the triple digits.
  7. I remember hearing about ITER- good to know they're still making progress. IMHO "cheap gas" isn't the way to go, especially because of the methane leaks associated with it. Fusion is the ultimate answer.
  8. I'm curious to see what the snowfall totals were for areas west of Long Island, even the city got 3" in that Octosnowstorm. But outside of that event, I remember zilch from that season!
  9. was March 1990 warmer than 2012? I just remember that very warm streak in the middle of the month. and March 1998 was warm too, but more towards the end of the month.
  10. My ideal is a combo- December and January from 2010-11 and February and March from 2014-15!
  11. the problem is that's where the majority of people live. Brooklyn and Queens add up to the majority of the area's population.
  12. that place will be crowded for the total solar eclipse in April 2024!
  13. 11-12 was even worse than this year? I find that hard to imagine lol.
  14. this is where naming winter storms is useful- you can actually recall which track belongs to which storm far better, especially when there are multiple large storms in a month.
  15. it was even worse in 2001-02.....I never read anything JB said after that catastrophe.
  16. March 1990 was ours, mid to upper 80s in March and then a one inch snowfall in April!
  17. Yea... 1998 was frustrating. We went through the entire winter with only 0.5 inches of snow and then got a meaningless 5" of glop on the first day of spring that melted in 6 hours!
  18. You can get snow in April too, but that doesn't mean it isn't spring. In March 1990 we were in the mid to upper 80s and then we had one inch of snow in early April.
  19. 70s? No- more like 80s, similar to March 1990
  20. Don, what kind of March do you think we'll have? Others were bringing up March 2012 as an analog, that was pretty mild for us (but not as warm as it was in the Midwest?)
  21. looks like the heaviest snow is where we're going eclipse chasing in 2024! I just hope there's no snow there in April that year.
  22. although with weather like this going on, it makes one wish that we could control the weather and change the outcome. But I doubt that even when that finally becomes doable that the people in charge would even consider altering the weather to make it snow more along the east coast/megalopolis. If you want snow move to lake effect country, it snows there regardless of the pattern!
  23. it was 40-50 inches from Queens county on east across Long Island, I'd call it a B- winter but only because of the extreme warmth in December, aside from that it was a B+ Getting a 30 inch snowstorm here was amazing- I may never see that again.
  24. gas company is going to pay $3 million for faulty gas lines that sparked massive fires near Boston
  25. well NYC did have the rare below zero low on Valentines Day. We had other heavy snow events besides the big blockbuster though, one of those brought down a crane in the city. It was JFK's 40 inch / 40 degree winter
