January 2020 General Discussions & Observations Thread
Brian5671 replied to Rtd208's topic in New York City Metro
it was a weird storm-gave ACY something like 15 inches but 20 miles inland was nothing. I was living outside of philly at the time and forecasts were 6-12 and we didn't see a flake. It was around 2/20/89 or something like that. Not much else other than that-it was colder though once we got to to Feb 89. Dec 88-Jan 89 were infernos with little to no snow. -

seeing 93 and 07 in there are interesting. 89 was garbage the rest of the way for the most part. -

Never said it would suck, but I'm starting to doubt we see anything memorable. There was no ridging 2 days ago on models now that's showing up....(and we know how that works-name a winter warmup that did not over-perform) Some cold mixed in with warmups, hopefully a snowstorm or two to salvage things. Last time NYC saw a storm of more than 4 inches? Nov 2018. Let's hope we can at least get that and hopefully more. Give me a Feb 2006 storm and I'd call it a day for sure. -

Not looking great all the sudden. January could have an incredible +++ departure if next weekend ends up warm. NYC is something like +10 right now. -

Last 10 days of December were bad too-temps in the 40's, no precip, yawn city. -

yep, now I remember that one. Horrid outside of a mid and late month storm and I remember the 2nd one busting-got like an inch or something. -

I don't recall a winter like that. Last year was close-but the biggest snow was in Nov, without that we would have gone close to snowless until the March events came... -

if we get to 2/1 and we're still where we are now, it's all but over-usually if the pattern doesn't really change by then, it's not going to. Last year is a good example-we did get a 6-10 day stretch in early March but by and large things stayed the same, mild and relatively snowless- 1,119 replies

IF NYC gets to 1/31 with 1.5 inches of snow that has to be among the all time lows for the first 2/3 of met winter -

I have yet to take out a snow shovel or snow blower. Big 5 gallon bucket of rock salt has been sitting in my garage untouched since Dec '18. Feels like the 1980's have come back- 1,119 replies

Agree. And it was not even a true arctic airmass. Once this became slower and drier we were in trouble. By the time precip gets here we are warmer with south winds- 1,119 replies

reminds me of a storm last year on this same weekend-trended warmer and warmer right up to the event-got a sloppy inch here and then it rained moderately all day- 1,119 replies

Stronger lows in the eastern Lakes won't work out here....I could see a mainly rain event if that trend continues- 1,119 replies

Even if so, what an amazing run, 12 years without a below normal couplet. I had thought BDR was close to normal last year after the March snows brought us up but if we did finish below it was just below. -

it's not purely arctic and winds off the relatively warm water will change it quick-I'd expect an inch or less right on the south coast of LI, NC and NJ coast unless something changes- 1,119 replies
