Siberia doesn’t get much snow. (Mainland, maybe on the coast) it’s just a giant dome of cold dry air most of the winter. Sunny and -50 for months. The summers are surprisingly hot with swarms of mosquitoes so thick it looks like a dust storm. Probably the worst place on earth to live.

The last few rain events including today so far haven’t really amounted to much, lots of .01 type hour rates. Let’s see if that changes later, better rates to the south.

I’m baffled how you could possibly claim to care about the environment yet you want to drain the oceans and kill all plants. your an ideal candidate for a mars colonist

Considering the mechanism that brings cold air to Chicago (out of the Arctic and down south) that map really is impossible.

Actually ended up with a decent little storm on the uws. Couple bolts and some torrential rain.

Nice area of precip headed our way, just did the spring plant installation on campus so would love a soaking. More than likely it will split to the north and south of the city.

That’s a Japanese Kwanzan cherry. BRING ON THE RAIN!

We are definitely on the same page here. 13/14 was a strong -epo based winter, which we haven’t seen since. Why would that suddenly come back?

I really think you belong in San Diego. 70 and sunny all the time, with the wind off the pacific low allergens too. being that I love plants and am a horticulturalist, I’ll take the rain.

Gets hot there too once the ocean warms up and the winds out of the west. currently perfect on the uws, sitting right between the sea breeze boundary. things are really starting to dry out though. Need a good soaking rain.

Agreed, temps will shoot up the second the sun comes out. This time of year working on the uws and living on the south shore of Long Island, the temp differences are extreme. Yesterday left work in shorts and Tshirt and was freezing when I got home.

I really hope I get to experience a VEI 7 in my lifetime. Purely from a meteorological perspective. Too much to write in regards to how incredible that would be in the face of global warming.

Exactly, that’s why I switched careers at 30. Nothing worse than being stuck in a windowless cubicle when you’re a weather enthusiast. Now I get to experience every weather event. I would never go back.

Those Caribbean cruiser/ GOF seasons aren’t great for Long Island surfers, so I’ll pass. Personally I think this season will be so hyperactive there will be activity everywhere. That and the eastern MDR being so freakishly warm leads to a tendency for early development and strengthening which favors recurves.

1012 is seriously weak sauce. No wonder the rain didn’t materialize…

Not much still open unfortunately. Killington always goes super late though and would benefit

Don, I respect your integrity but the first pic is suspect. Are you sure that was taken today? You know I’m a horticulturalist at Columbia and a huge climate change backer but that pic seems off. We are barely cracking buds on the earliest flowering trees here. And maybe a few daffodils…

It was roaring in lynbrook earlier. Kind of in a lol now that the low is closing in.

2.32” at the wantagh meso so far. Roads were fine on the way into work. Over 4” on the week, should be around 6” by the weekend.

Long Island about to get smoked

One thing I will agree with, is there happens to be a strong low during that time, you could bring some of that cold down to the surface. That’s where your snow potential exists.

You know things are bad (especially for the ski resorts) when these are the overnight obs from the top of Mt.

That’s a very solid east coast landfall look. I wouldn’t if there are multiple landfalls from Florida to the NE including majors.

Hopefully we do not end up with the whole water table rising this month. October 05 the entire block I grew up on had 1-2’ of water in the basement. And in that case there isn’t much you can do about it until the levels drop. It’s not a flash flood more like a prolonged mess.
