93-94 was better imo. we will never see a winter like that again. I don’t think we saw the grass in Queens for most of that winter. And by winter I mean mid Dec thru early March And those Nyc schools never closed! I remember getting dismissed in one storm where the snow was up to my shins. Surprise 7 incher that went wild

Then it got real cold after that and despite the shitty winter it stuck around for about two weeks

Our 11 inch 94-95 El Nino season :/

Id argue Dec 15 was the most memorable event of winter 15-16

Its scary warm hahaha

Does a 30 inch snow storm mean much if it is surrounded by 50 and 60 degree days for the other 3 months of winter? Because many of those big El Nino storms have been that type of winter. 2015-16 was a disaster of a winter. One epic snowstorm doesnt eliminate a Dec of 70s and the latest freeze ever.

Well thats where we reside. I mean the whole country is warm and Ninos arent particularly cold around here. Usually mild and wet with a good storm or two. For the life of me I dont know why so many on this forum have been rooting for one…not that rooting for weather matters much.

That has us .5-1 AN. Which is pretty tame for us. Ugly is Iowa. Or am I missing something? Nino with warmest departures over Upper Midwest is what is expected. This jives.

14 Days last October were AN. Many by a lot. Some nice cold shots too

2016 was 7 years ago

I walked the dog with a leather jacket on this morning because it was 48 and there was a stiff breeze. Plenty cold for October. And much colder than any October weather we have had around here for a while. No need to defend yourself against childishness

The professional strikes again…

Trend of warmest departures north of us is multi year and continues

48F stiff breeze

i’m a believer in not talking about the pattern that’s supposed to be but looking at the pattern that’s in front of you. I like this pattern. I like the blocking. I like the storm track. I like the storm frequency. I like the below normal temperatures. I like the active tropics. And I like the fact that for the first time in a long time it looks like we’re marching towards winter with at or below normal temperatures. so I’m bullish on winter this year. i’ll go all in if I see this pattern in November

I stopped watching them and going to their site after they started this. Sensationalist bs for the social media masses

it really is. I think about all our farmland on the north fork. Those aren’t even real farms aren’t anymore. They are tourist farms that depend on the fall season for making their year. and with a lot of the new mandates that New York State has passed for farm workers, there was an article about how much harder it is to even contemplate running an agricultural business on Long Island.

Map is off. I lived in Bayside at time. We got a wet dusting. Dating someone in Park Slope and they had a full snow storm. The line was around the Van Wyck. East of that not much

I dont think the city people understand how much cooler suburbs are at night and how much cooler a detached house surrounded by trees really is. My heat has been on and off during the night for a couple of weeks now with a central hvac system set at 70

Correct…hopefully. Also had little tropical activity vs our continuous loop of offshore interactions

I don’t care what AccuWeather says, I like the storm track and I like the below normal temperatures going into fall. Warm El Niños start with warm falls. I like our chances this winter based on what Im seeing thru mid Oct

Just said the same thing. Awful

The leaves too. Blowing all over

LHV is a mess right now. very heavy rain. consistent too

I’ve gotta say pretty bad in Westchester right now under that cell. A lot of ponding on the roadway.
