Forget Marquette, move to Aomori and learn Japanese! You'll do it for the 26 feet of snow they get every year.
-
Feels like being in Nova Scotia
-
I dont know man, today is pretty bad too. and I just sneezed 11 times in a row (I counted lol)
-
Yeah, that was actually my favorite late season snowstorm that winter!
-
that was a mixed precip storm, Binghamton was jackpot city
-
I'm thinking there's a chance clouds might creep in plus Syracuse is on the edge of totality, I'm thinking that heading north from there would be a good idea. The further north and east the better I would think.
-
That's actually the closest place to my house to go to, I'm debating if I should go further north in totality or stop there. The totality line passes 8 miles south of there.
-
wow, great memories! this was our "warmest" significant snowstorm....
-
You should superimpose the path of totality on top of this, Jim
-
Next thing you know he'll be saying this even in the middle of summer if we somehow get a coastal that takes a south and east track lol
-
isn't there another cut off coming the following weekend
-
you sound like such a cheerful person
-
Looks better here than in Central and Western NY looking at those maps
-
JFK's latest snowstorm was April 19-20, 1983
-
But does it also mean clear weather for the eclipse? That seems to be a near certainty now, with only a 1% chance of clouds?
-
The eclipse is a better reason to go there. I think the SE Ridge also influences the path of totality.
-
Easier to get to for some of us.
-
No, it's not about there being eclipses in those years, it's about the similarity in the path between 1994 and 2024. Both are going from Texas to Upstate NY, the percentage of the sun covered is even the same in NYC (89%) There are most definitely eclipse cycles-- they are called Saros Cycles.

If New York is truly going to be as clear as what I just saw in the forecasts (unlikely, it's still 10 days out), then this will be where a lot of people will be coming. The forecast I just saw for Syracuse (the closest big town to New York City for totality) is 0% high clouds, 0% midlevel clouds and 1% low clouds at 2 PM, about an hour and a half before totality. https://spotwx.com/products/grib_index.php?model=gfs_pgrb2_0p25_f&lat=43.04795&lon=-76.14745&tz=America/New_York&label=Syracuse, New York

-
Yea I realized it afterwards lol. It's hard to tell with how dreary it is right now, mid March was way better than this.
-
where are you getting this from lol I've heard of wishcasting, but this more like pretendcasting lol
-
Thanks Jeff, I just found it so interesting that the eclipse path looks so similar to the path the May 10, 1994 eclipse took, down to the same percentage of solar coverage here in NYC.
-
In this case deeper blue means more clear skies? So this is the complete opposite of the other chart, where deeper blue meant cloudy skies lol. So basically, the further east you go the clearer the skies get?
