    oh yes, but even that was a bit of a disappointment west of Suffolk County. I remember seeing forecast maps and predictions of 20-30 and the first half of the storm was rain, we still ended up with a decent 10-12 inches but areas to our north and east got 30+.

    Don't forget New Orleans too lol

    I'm trying to think of winters where we had many close calls and then finally got hit by a big one at the end of the season. I can't think of any right now.

    I'm kind of shocked Mt Pocono only has 3.9 inches of snow this month, Walt!

    There are winters where a storm like this would inevitably come north.....

    Our great ones always start out this way, crawling up the coast. Reminds me of Feb 83, Jan 96, PD2, Jan 2016.

    I remember there was some discussion about this but it was awhile back, maybe even a year or two ago. I would suggest looking for keywords IO and IOD and Maritime Continent. The funny thing is that there are people reading this thread who participated in that discussion but they haven't responded.

    How much of this dumbing down has to do with certain conventional media outlets and also malicious social media algorithms? On a deeper level, how much of this dumbing down comes from the great cancer of corporatist crony crapitalism, to profit at any cost, even if it means cutting down social programs, healthcare and education? We have seen a whittling down of all of these since the 1970s. Teachers and nurses don't get paid enough, public education and healthcare aren't funded properly, our food aisles are littered with cheap unhealthy food that damages the minds and bodies of our children, the long term benefits of society are sacrificed for short term gains for a select few at the top.

    Don't forget the warming Indian Ocean. I've seen it mentioned here and there (usually shortened to IO).

    Sound effect and sound enhanced snow are pretty interesting, sometimes they make a storm last longer because the snowfall lingers.

    It's a reflection of a proximal location on the north shore of Long Island that does really well in snowfall too. Mt Sinai and New Haven are both local hot spots for snowfall. They fit together like two pieces of a puzzle, did you notice how the northernmost part of the central CT shoreline matches the northernmost part of the central part of the north shore of Long Island? They were part of the same landmass before the last ice age.

    Was what we had in 08-09, 09-10, 10-11, 13- 14, 14-15, also a response to the low points in snowfall in 06-07, 07-08 and 11-12?

    I'm not sure what the population breakdown is where most people live. Central Park is more representative of western and central regions than it is farther east. I wouldn't say it's representative of the north shore of Long Island though. Looking closer at the map, the northeastern part of Long Island has a higher likelihood of 1 inch snowfall (around 80%).

    But 40% for southern parts of the city aren't bad either. For example, when my forecast says that there is a 40% chance of rain, it usually rains. I find that anything of 30% or higher is likely to happen.

    I'm near JFK, the 40% stripe (darkest blue) goes right over the southern part of New York City.

    I read that the relative warmth of the trees (dark colors absorb solar radiation, which occurs even when it's cloudy) is what makes the snow melt, in addition to preventing some of it from reaching the ground too.
  17. LibertyBell
    40% chance of 1 inch not bad.

    It makes you wonder if that Pacific Jet is wreaking havoc with the forecasts. It's been in the low 40s and foggy here this morning. We are going to go up and down for a few days before the arctic outbreak hits Sunday night.

    Would love to experience that again, the late February 2010 snowicane was probably the closest thing to it (and NYC's latest 20 inch snowstorm since then.)
  20. LibertyBell
    I'm not sure how much of a shut out it is for the local region for 4" and 6" snowstorms since JFK got one of each last year in February. Was that because it was an el nino? Maybe a stronger el nino is needed to completely destroy the Pacific jet?
  21. LibertyBell
    it's going to be like 55 here on Sunday. That's an old fashioned southeaster

    You should see his maps for 09-10, 10-11, 13-14 and 14-15, a great look back at some of our most memorable winters! It was absolutely seeing a contour of 10 to 15 FEET of snow in 14-15 near Boston! I never thought you could see that much snow at the coast!
  23. LibertyBell
    It occurred to me that you moved to the jackpot area of the March 1888 Blizzard, Chris,
  24. LibertyBell
    1783-84 was also our snowiest and coldest winter of that century.

    Tony, anything for us from these two storms? 1987 - A storm in the eastern U.S. produced high winds from North Carolina to Maine. A storm in the western U.S. produced up to thirty inches of snow in the Sierra Nevada Range of California. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - A classic "nor'easter" formed off the Carolina coast and intensified as it moved up the Atlantic coast bringing heavy snow to the northeastern U.S. Totals ranged up to 26 inches at Camden NY and Chester MA. Arctic cold gripped the north central U.S. Duluth MN was the cold spot in the nation with a low of 32 degrees below zero. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)
