  1. Roger, does it even seem possible to have winters as cold as late 1970s in Northeast?
  2. I’m fearful of a ‘97-98 scenario where there is no cold air in the DC area. Maybe that PV split delivers in January but even Judah Cohen is starting to hedge his bets.
  3. I’m the next town over in Fairfax Station Clifton area and we finished at 1.1 inches. Also a large tree across the road in neighborhood which happens back in the woods. Yes already over last seasons snow total.
  4. Thanks for sharing some optimism Roger. Toronto can still get mighty cold in the winter as I experienced on some February trips up there for Super Bowl parties. Subzero lows and single digit highs reminded me of time spent in Chicago. The thing that surprised me though was the lack of massive snowstorms in Toronto’s history. No 20+ inch snows on record whereas NYC has 8 such storms and DC metro area at least 6.
  5. What is amazing to me is ‘73 was as bad a winter for snow in NYC and DC for that matter but was a full five degrees cooler than last year. That has to be climate change Don.
  6. Are there any recent examples of December fronts kicking off snowfall after significant rainfall in the DC metro area?
  7. What about lack of ridging on West Coast?
  8. Do you think the pattern will turn colder/snowier as we get closer to Christmas?
  9. Will it be cold enough to snow in Mid-Atlantic? December 6 is my birthday so I am rooting hard for snow.
  10. How do you reconcile big East Coast storms hitting 2006-2016 which deviated from historical norm in strength and size? Could climate change have accelerated since 2026 affecting worldwide weather patterns and base state?
  11. 86-87 was a slow start too from what I remember as 9 year old in DC area. Then Double whammy 1/22 and 1/26 lays down 20 inches and February had storms too. Doubt this will be a cold winter but hoping for the snowy part.
  12. Can you expound upon why a less negative NAO could still produce snowstorms in 2023? It seems to me the deeply negative NAO of 2009-2010 may be off the board but maybe other factors come into play.
  13. Is this a snowstorm pattern for Mid-Atlantic or Northeast? Looks like it could be temp window before warmup.
  14. The sheer number of massive snowstorms to hit East Coast from 2006-2016 was historically anomalous and I wonder if climate change could have driven these outcomes. NYC had 20+ inch storms at least a half dozen times in this period when the previous hundred years they had two.
  15. December 2009 was an aberration in the past fifteen years. 2016 blizzard saved that season but so did February 2006 and 2003. I would rather long track a Big Dog than wait for a few paltry events. Just don’t know if climate change overwhelms perfect pattern.
  16. Do you expect a wet pattern this winter in desert Southwest including Las Vegas?
  17. Does this have any similarities to December 2009 or am I just hallucinating?
  18. Believe Mitch was sustained 180mph with 905 pressure.
  19. That would tie it with Camille which also got down to 900mb at one point. I think Gilbert was a little stronger at landfall in Central America. Would not shock me one bit if Lee sustained at 190mph with sub900 pressure.
  20. What experimental Euro are they using? How does it differ from EPS?
  21. After the debacle in Fort Myers last year surrounding late ordered evacuations, Tampa metro has to be very concerned about storm track and surge threat. Weren’t Zone A and B evacuated last year before Ian took a more southerly track? Tough decisions ahead.
  22. Veterans Day 1987. I was 10 years old and school was first delayed and then cancelled. My father and I went out to run some errands and it took us over three hours to get home in raging snowstorm leaving a foot of snow. No cell phones back then and my Mom was ready to call the hospitals if we had not gotten home soon.
  23. The humidity on East Coast is getting more miserable and unbearable each summer. Grew up in Virginia suburbs of DC in the 1980s and 1990s and it is way more uncomfortable now compared to then. Also lived a few summers out in Las Vegas and became well acclimated to the dry heat but that’s just me personally.
  24. How does last week of July look in NYC/northern Jersey temp wise and precipitation?
  25. Felt it about 3:05 sounded like a boom and house shook. No trees had fallen so wondering if it was an earthquake.
