  1. Sleet / snow mix now. Didn't expect to see any snow for a few hours.
  2. Won't be the first heavy snowfall following a 60⁰ Superbowl weekend.
  3. The bar is even lower if we take the 1 year moving average. With so much variability for so long, I have no confidence on what we will experience as average snowfall, which is affected by more than just average temperatures. If we don't get something in the next 7 or 8 weeks, it's over.
  4. I forget who/what had which torch and when, but the last 9 days here, while notably above normal, do not seem torchy. Biggest positive departures were on the mins...which have lead to a low diurnal difference most days. I think today (2/3) was the only one of the 9 with any sunshine: 1/26 41 45 1/27 39 43 1/28 35 40 1/29 34 40 1/30 33 37 1/31 31 39 2/1 30 46 2/2 36 42 2/3 31 42
  5. It was the other way around. The snow showers were with the arctic front on 2/16/73. They were more organized on LI where most spots picked up 2 or 3 inches.
  6. Kocin and Ucellini are already working on the case study.
  7. As of 1/29, 6.49" precipitation here for January. Add that to the 10.23" for December and its a 2-month total of 16.72". Kinda wet!
  8. I took a group out for a hike in Calverton this afternoon and it was spitting tiny graupel most of the time. I even told them what graupel was.
  9. I was thinking of some of the claims that it would take a long time to reload cold air into Canada.
  10. Anchorage averaging 2.6°F below normal for both December and January and snowfall has been more than twice normal. They had a 16" snowfall this week, which is a biggy for Anchorage and current snow depth is 37". Plus they might come close to some record lows over the next week.
  11. 1/22/1987 11.3" (LGA) 1/26/1987 11" Bridgehampton 2/23/1987 10" Patchogue 1/8/1988 10.5" Patchogue (JFK - 9.6") 12/13/1988 10 - 15" (C-E LI) 11/23/1989 10" Bridgehampton 2/25/1990 13" Bridgehampton
  12. The January 19-20 (17") snowstorm in 1978 was a surprise. The overnight forecast was for an inch or two of snow changing to rain and we woke up the next morning to a raging blizzard. The February 6 blizzard was talked about days in advance. I remember that I brought a portable radio to my indoor track meet on Saturday (2 days before the storm) so that I could get forecast updates during the day. Like most here, I've been at this since I was a kid.
  13. The forecast 24 hours before the blizzard of '78 was for a foot or more. It was an LFM success
  14. Been flurrying here for about 2 hours. Old man winter sticking his tongue out at us in a drive-by.
  15. What does the "bg" stand for in "bg warming". Google was no help with this question.
