    thats what I've been saying for awhile now. The lawns looked like straw that summer lol.... remember we had a heatwave in the middle of April that year with low humidity and the bluest skies I've ever seen- so wonderful!

    there's something called the winter severity index and I wonder what the top 5 years are on that list for being the least and most severe for us? It comes temp and snowfall, so I would put 2001-02 at the top of the list for being the least severe.

    why was it so easy to reach the mid 80s in March 1990 and it doesn't seem to be so easy anymore? Higher humidity/wetter months?

    thats why I was wondering if the growing season started earlier that year- we had a very late first freeze and a very early last freeze lol. I bet there is a very short list of under 10 inch snowfall seasons that aren't strong or super el ninos.

    the difference between a trace of snow and 0 snow is a distinction without a difference :-P Besides, leap day is a fake day anyway (see my above post)....I'd rather have the extra day in the summer!

    no snow fell here, 4 miles from JFK. Leap day is a fake day at the end of February anyway....sure let's just randomly stick a day at the end of the second month of the year just so our calendars dont go out of whack. I'd rather have the day added at the end of June to make our summer a day longer! Besides T is equivalent to 0 snow anyway.

    Yeah that was my favorite March storm! I remember the temp off the ocean was below freezing and we got freezing drizzle off a "sea breeze"- the first time I've ever seen that! In February I remember seeing snow crystals falling out of a clear blue sky- strange sight!

    Did 2001-02 have an earlier leaf out than this?

    this winter definitely had the feel of 1989-90. Thats why I was wondering if we would get similar heat in March. Chris, are there any winters where all three winter months averaged over 40 F? And how many winters that weren't strong or super el ninos had as little snowfall as this winter has had?
  10. LibertyBell
    please no April 1997 repeats. we got 1-2 in that "storm"
  11. LibertyBell
    even that upside down model has to be better than this!

    I'd love dry westerly winds all spring interspersed with evening t-storms!
  13. LibertyBell
    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.

    It's going to be a new class of snowstorm that's been quite common this season- the Labrador Retriever ;-)
  15. LibertyBell
    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.

    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.

    $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.

    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.
  19. LibertyBell
    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!
  20. LibertyBell
    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.
  21. LibertyBell
    My ideal is a combo- December and January from 2010-11 and February and March from 2014-15!
  22. LibertyBell
    the problem is that's where the majority of people live. Brooklyn and Queens add up to the majority of the area's population.
  23. LibertyBell
    that place will be crowded for the total solar eclipse in April 2024!
  24. LibertyBell
    11-12 was even worse than this year? I find that hard to imagine lol.
  25. LibertyBell
    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.
