  1. Getting heavy snow now in SW Suffolk and 31.3°. The snowfall rate rapidly increased in the last 15 minutes with this 40 DBZ band.
  2. Light to moderate snow here in SW Suffolk and 31°. I am under that 30 DBZ yellow band on radar. The higher reflectivities are more a function of the very large snow flakes than the actual rate of the snow here.
  3. Right at the expected peak period for 12”+ events since 2010. Roughly 2 week snowfall periods for the 2010's and number of 12"+ snowstorms Oct 29-Nov 15.....3 Nov 16-Nov 30....0 Dec 1- Dec 15.....0 Dec 16-Dec 31....3 Jan1-Jan 15.......4 Jan16-Jan 31.....5 Feb 1-Feb 15.....6 Feb 16-Feb 28...1 Mar 1- Mar 15....6 Mar 16-Mar 31...1 Apr 1-Apr 16.....0
  4. The storm force onshore flow will result in moderate to locally low end major coastal flooding. So places like Freeport on the water may see their snowpack get floated like icebergs. I saw this with several blizzards in the past.
  5. Yeah, we should all go 12”+ on the front end of the storm. But we need to park under the CCB to go 20”+. I guess the 12z runs will add some clarity as to where the CCB and dryslot set up.
  6. Has the Euro ever been more amped or tucked than the NAM with a major snowstorm before? Seems like the NAM is usually in the amped up lead like we saw with Jan 2016. The Euro was more suppressed right up until the storm. So maybe the Euro is in error here and the dry slot remains to our east.
  7. Australia and South America have the biggest reserves. https://www.statista.com/statistics/268790/countries-with-the-largest-lithium-reserves-worldwide/
  8. The mileage is about 20% less in cold weather per charge. But improvements in range and charging time will make it less of an issue in the future. I think the power grid upgrades and charging station expansion may take a while. But once car makers say they will only produce EVs, then the infrastructure work will have to catch up.
  9. Yeah, the December 2020 storm was more tucked in than the January 2016 event. So the heaviest snowfall zones were different. But both storms had the record SST warmth to work with.
  10. This January will be remembered for the warm minimum temperatures across the Northeast. Areas of Maine saw an extreme +14 to +16 minimum temperature departure January. My guess is that this is a result of the warming background pattern and the +EPO pumping mild Pacific air under an extreme south based block.
  11. Especially with the storm expanding snow cover extent from California to the East Coast.
  12. Yeah, the EV technology and supporting charging infrastructure still have a ways to go before wide adoption by the masses. Then the consumers will get more and better buying options. Prices for entry level vehicles will need to fall to be more affordable.
