  1. 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)
  2. so that 30.9 measurement at JFK in the Jan 2016J storm would've been max snow depth at the end?
  3. wasn't the 1996 storm all snow? didn't break that record until 2016 here although 2003 came close.
  4. You'd be the right person to ask this then- was the JFK measurement of over 30" for the Jan 2016 HECS an end of storm total (that is, total snow cover at that time?)
  5. then you have other la nina winters like 55-56 or the one we had a few years ago which has the most snow in March....why were those different? Even if this is a frontloaded winter, if we use 10-11 as an example we could get another HECS in the latter third of Jan, like around the 25th or so.
  6. I really wish I was in my other home for this.....it's south of I-80 and just north of Allentown (halfway between ABE and MPO actually) but at 2,000 ft elevation it should stay all snow and get around 2 feet shouldn't it?
  7. Don if we get 6 or more inches of snow from this storm doesn't that significantly increase the chances for a normal snowfall to even above normal snowfall winter? Also aren't the last 10 days of Dec looking much colder now with more chances of snowfall?
  8. the biggest presolstice snowstorms were in 1948 and 1960 in the 15-16 range, interesting. Dec 2003 is right up there too and almost made it to 20 on Long Island
  9. it would be an uncivil war each and every day
  10. Could you imagine if they ever tried to put NYC in the New England thread?! Forum WW3!
  11. wow interesting! You're going to chase the eclipse of course ;-) I'm looking around for the best place to see it in, thinking of going to Watertown....would you recommend that?
  12. Don do you have a probability breakdown for the various amounts for JFK, Allentown and Mt Pocono? Thanks in advance. There seems to be a major change between 10" and 12" for some reason....like NYC going from 80 percent to 43 percent. I wonder if JFK is similar to this.
  13. where were those lows during the Millenium storm- I think they passed just east of us over Suffolk County?
  14. question about the snowfall gradient is this based on the idea that long island will mix or change to rain or more because of the temps involved mean lower ratios and wetter snow? On this it looks like snowfall gets less at Scranton and points north and once east of Morristown?
  15. what is this, a news station? And here's a first look at the weather, the latest news is a weenie suicide watch is in effect from 4 PM Wednesday to 9 AM Thursday....
  16. I have hopes that even if it just goes slightly south of us we'll be fine, this is a cold storm not unlike the Millenium storm.
  17. an excellent list! Thanks Walt! I cant wait to see your two day lists for the above locations plus MPO, NYC and EWR. A couple of notes - the number of 20" snowfalls will increase since these are the ones most affected by two day totals. That will put both Feb 1961 and Feb 1969 over the 20 inch mark at both JFK and LGA. Jan 1996 and Feb 1983 will also go over the 20 inch mark (the latter at JFK at least.) Boxing Day 2010 should be close to 20 inches at both. I'm also curious to see what the full storm total was from Feb 1978 at MPO. And I didn't know that JFK got 9.6 inches in one day in 1/88, I'd be curious to see if they hit double digits for that storm total as that was an era with few or no double digit snowstorms.
  18. You read my mind, Walt, I was going to ask for two day storm totals which would include most of the bigger storms.
  19. also depends on the surrounding airmass if you get a strong high to the north then you still get the big winds. I'm thinking of historic noreasters that didn't drop well down in the pressure department and you have storms like Feb 1983 and PD2/2003 on that list. Our best snowstorms throw WAA over an arctic airmass and snow for 24 hours or more.
