  1. Went over to snow at 3:20 pm, with no transition, moderate rate.
  2. I think soon too. You're the NW spotter today.
  3. I see snow echoes on a line from Hazleton to Harrisburg, but not sure what's falling there. I've seen snow under rain echoes, and rain under snow echoes. Usually, the snow detection is rather good though.
  4. Hi, I hear you. They were great winters. Definitely among the best in your teen-adult years. Gonna' give the "+" to 95-96 still. Just one fact, 40 to 50% more snow at CPK versus 13-14 and 14-15. btw my son lives in Philadelphia now, so I this Giants/Mets fan can't dislike the Eagles and Phillies as much. lol
  5. Anafronts A rainy cold front is usually an anafront. Anafronts are the kind of cold front associated with moisture and clouds. Ana means to ascend. What’s ascending in the case of an anafront? The warm and moist air — it actually rises over the lower leading edge of the cold front and can create clouds and rain behind the actual cold front itself.
  6. East wind off the water, 59 F here. Enjoy it, inland guys.
  7. There it is, the 138th anniversary of The Blizzard of 1888. Family history has it that my great-grandfather, an immigrant grocer in Bridgeport, CT, had the 6th sense to stock up on provisions as the storm was brewing. Thus, he was able to help out his local community through the aftermath of the storm.
  8. At the battle line of cool maritime air and inland warmth, 71 F after reaching 75 F.
  9. "1884: John Park Finley issued the first experimental tornado prediction. Finley studied the atmospheric parameters that were present during previous tornadoes. Many of these same criteria are still used by operational forecasters today. But the use of tornado forecasts would be banned just a few years later and remain forbidden until 1952." Why were forecasts banned? Do you know? Found this. http://site.extension.uga.edu/climate/2025/03/tornado-forecasting-was-banned-in-the-u-s-for-60-years-why/
  10. Track the Mets season. Let's go Mets! Let's go Mets! We'll miss the Polar Bear though....
  11. Have to save A+ for 1995-1996. This season will get an A. It occurred to me that for one to have experienced 1995-1996 with some degree of understanding, you would have to be at least 40-45 years old now. For anyone younger, check out that season's frozen events on Ray's Winter Archive; November to April.
  12. Hit 70 F from northern Monmouth southwest to Delaware.
  13. Good find. My grandfather witnessed that 30-inch March as a seven-year-old.
  14. My location got 5.5 inches in the first of the two, and inch of slush in the 2nd one. Surprised you didn't get as much. Up north, they got more in the 2nd.
  15. March 2004, the season with two March storms, both in mid-March, after no snowstorms in February. Check the synoptics out.http://www.raymondcmartinjr.com/weather
  16. Too small to read. http://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/mar-4-5-2015 I got about 8 inches in that one.
  17. Yes. I only got down to 22 F, but some impressive regional lows that morning. ---- Per Don, on December 5 -- Some 6 am temperatures: Albany: 2° (tied record set in 1886 and tied in 1926 and 1989) Binghamton: 5° (tied record set in 1971 and tied in 1989) New York City-LaGuardia Airport: 20° (old record: 21°, 1942) White Plains: 14° (tied record set in 1966) Albany has its coldest temperature so early in the season since 1989. Also, NYC-JFK tied record low at 20 F.
  18. "The spring forecast also suggests an active backdoor potential with the Northeast being the coolest relative to other areas." Yeah, springtime can be overrated in this area. smh When my son moved to Philadelphia, I told him. "At least you'll have milder springs." He does. Blooms of the same plants run a week or two earlier there.
  19. The article says it was not as tall as today's power lines, but it was still a deep drift deep. Did you see the photo of the guys house?
  20. Great Dakotas blizzard of 1966 Click on the highlighted link, in this link, for cropped black and white scans to see some images. www.accuweather.com/en/winter-weather/1966-blizzard-provided-north-dakotas-most-famous-photo/1868770
  21. I would think that a radar simulation would be possible interpolating known data points from reporting stations as well as surface maps.
