January 2016 was a 30 day event for us....15 days to track and 15 days aftermath...it took a month of my time which was 33% of my winter. Im good with that kind of event

looks like we are going big....lets hope for a jan 16 repeeat

there is so much bad luck that we lose out on. I know people think im joking @psuhoffmanbut we are in a really terrible location. We are too far south for the Miller B's or clippers that are very common We are too far North for those juicy southern sliders like in the picture above. we are too far west for those bomb cyclones we are far too east for clippers in general as even when they track our way, the mountains eat them up. its takes perfect scenarios to get snow. We usually need CAD that stays locked in place. I know @psuhoffmanthinks its too warm but i think our location is a bigger hinderance than temps. Even the awful year of 2001-02...Norfolk had a 9 inch snowstorm because we were too northwest

We are getting a double digit storm next winter

classic Feb 2024 pattern

How bad is this winter? I was watching this YouTube program on this couple camping in this winter storm and 90% of the precip was sleet. No joke

this was a ridiculous stretch for central Park i think thanks mostly to Miller B's 2000-01 0 0 0 T 0 13.4 8.3 9.5 3.8 0 0 0 35.0 2001-02 0 0 0 0 0 T 3.5 T T T 0 0 3.5 2002-03 0 0 0 T T 11.0 4.7 26.1 3.5 4.0 0 0 49.3 2003-04 0 0 0 0 0 19.8 17.3 0.7 4.8 0 0 0 42.6 2004-05 0 0 0 0 T 3.0 15.3 15.8 6.9 0 0 0 41.0 2005-06 0 0 0 0 T 9.7 2.0 26.9 1.3 0.1 0 0 40.0 this one stands out the most...again Miller B" 2010-11 0 0 0 0 T 20.1 36.0 4.8 1.0 T 0 0 61.9 here was another Miller B event 2020-21 0 0 0 0 0 10.5 2.1 26.0 T 0 38.6

Oooof---you right but i i think really 80% of it was our location and not us lacking the cold air. Cyclones usually dont bomb till they are past our latitude...NYC has more time for a storm to phase or get captured...unless we have a 995 on the GULF coast with a big arctic high...our geography is usually going to kill us more than temps. Those early 2000s felt like we were always in the game but as this link shows...Central park was getting in the 40's--50s..while we were getting 15-25. https://www.weather.gov/media/okx/Climate/CentralPark/monthlyseasonalsnowfall.pdf

LOL gfs

I don’t memorize stuff like you but we got plenty of snow dec 2003…Feb 06…07 was historic but sleet…Jan 2011 March 2013…the others I don’t remember

hey PSU---you mentioned a few days ago that its alarming that in those years...where NYC got amazing snow total and we got a bit above average--that should of done alot better. I dont think it was temp related. I think most storms where NYC got crushed and we got nothing was Miller B's. Unless its a Miller B....usually we are in the same game as NYC. We cant do much about Miller Bs..its pretty much based on luck of your location lol---and not really climate change

Euro sucks. Gfs keeps spanking it

Can't even chase. When did state college become a snowhole? Sent from my SM-A515U using Tapatalk

Not sure what the rush to heat is. It’s hot 9 months a year

I hate this time of year. We work so hard to get to winter and then it’s over just like that. Despite a crazy historic subpar year…it was fun not tracking anything with you guys!

There was one for the 22nd too Sent from my SM-A515U using Tapatalk

my birthday

I am okay with the no snowstorm part....most of my fun with this hobby is tracking more than snow being on the ground. What i am not okay with was that there was nothing to track. 99% of our threats died by day 8. the few that made it through died at 120 hours. We never got with 84 hours of accumulating snow. Nobody made a forecast map. Bob Chill did a hit run...said this would be a good winter and then we never heard from him again. Same with HM. We didnt even get a threat for freezing rain or sleet...we never even had a chance to bust. There was not a storm to forecast...ever...not even close.
