The entire 1950-99 period had 10 such storms. Almost certainly, the increased moisture content associated with warming is leading to higher impact storms when there is sufficient cold. There has also been a disproportionate increase in the frequency of such storms in the Islip, Newark and New York City areas since 2000..

Wow!!  thanks.  Will you ever put out a book?

I'll wager not that many in the 20 years prior - Only 1983, 1987 and 1993? = global  warming

oh and 96 of course!!

LV did bullseye but it was an area wide blasting. Wasn’t until the day before the storm the major outlets caved and put out the proper warnings


.

what was PHLs total in 2016?  NCDC is down

Or the way it sets up. Could have a more N to S type setup and blast all of eastern PA


.

True wasn't it 2016 when they were saying Philly would bear the brunt and then LV smashed their record?!

No one knows where the heavy bands setup till they setup and start moving!!!!  I think LV could still get blasted

Except for 96 and Smowmaggedon that's how it ALWAYS is!!!!!

Not sure why they keep trimming totals. Recent trending has philly doing better. Still have a day before the main event.

Don't laugh it's happened:   Morgantown had 50" in March 1958 storm!

Man, I’m going to be pissed if Allentown sets the record for eastern PA and I get fringed with 47 inches!

Some of these models have periods of light snow all day on Tuesday and that would just be amazing after getting a foot or more of snow. Love the mood flakes after a big event.

that's creepy, lol!!

this is also technically Allentown's biggest DEC storm since 1966 though there's been several other 8-9 inch ones since then 

still so hard for me to believe that forecasts still get so botched: 9" from 20-24 forecast yesterday

I think it might be computer generated, and look at the time stamp, from very early this morning

Looks like typical NWS overestimation, no?

Would be cool to pitch a tent/camp fire in Centralia and ride the storm out. For sure no one will bother you...

No need for the camp fire - just set up at the cemetery - plenty of heat from the underground inferno!!
