  1. Brutal out today. Nothing worse than cold rain over preforming. It’s been raining moderately for hours on the uws. To think, at the top of the Nordstrom tower flat roof 1550’ it’s probably snowing or close to it.
  2. Cold In Montana has been amazingly consistent the last few winters. So I’ll add them with Alaska for places we do not want to see cold.
  3. That was on of the worst forecasts from the nws post 2000. I vividly remember watching the street light all night waiting for the change over that never happened. There was a slushy coating from about the northern state north however. I wouldn’t be surprised if we somehow strike out again for the rest of the winter and have a cold damp April, just to rub it in. But I’ll stick to my guns right now with a mid/late February at least advisory level event.
  4. Yeah. What a brutal stretch. Right on the south shore it’s been even longer, 3 winters in a row now. I do have faith in the my original call made at the beginning of the winter that February will produce our first warning level event right to the coast however. It was based mostly on nino climo and the tendency of our winters to be backloaded.
  5. Politics. Still clinging to its “just natural variability” the oil industry has allot of money and allot of PR firms.
  6. My uncles place mid way between Scranton and Binghamton at 1900’ got 6”. So you just missed out on good banding. It was a lack of precip issue. I’ll be there this weekend.
  7. Had some ice on my car the way into work from lynbrook. So it was either melted snow that froze or freezing drizzle. Currently on the uws everything just wet.
  8. That’s been my rule of thumb, obviously there are exceptions but it’s almost always the case. I believe during the record February 15 NE snows Alaska was like +30
  9. I have been following this Australian guy on YouTube who has some great research on some recent large impacts. One in the Indian Ocean that produced a huge tsunami that affected the topography of southern Australia and another possible one in the Mediterranean that affected the Sahara. So large impacts may be more common than previously thought.
  10. You would be surprised how much money there is around the top ski resorts out west. If you’re really rich you don’t go to New England to go skiing.
  11. It’s called El Niño, amped up pac jet and allot of onshore flow. We haven’t had your normal winter polar/arctic highs which bring days of brilliant sunshine.
  12. Some mangled flakes in lynbrook currently. Looks like the north shore along the hills In Suffolk might be in for a surprise (not really a surprise as it was modeled)
  13. Maybe on top of Jane’s hill at just under 400’ the snowiest place on the island. Meanwhile at my uncles place at 1900’ just south of Binghamton on the Pa side 6” of snow globe snow.
  14. It’s fully possible the city north gets nothing. Heading in, soon for snow removal. Would not be surprised that the extreme amount of salt we put down may prevent anything from accumulating
  15. One would think it’s currently light snow on western li based on the radar. But not even a flurry. So we are fight dry air. I get ratios will be high but I think we loose allot to virga.
  16. There’s so so so much more too it then that. The bunker population is enormous now feeding all the sharks (and I have caught plenty of southern species) it’s more about the rise in water temps. Winter flounder and lobsters are cold water species, they are moving north.
  17. There was definitely allot of ice in the trees still on the north shore of queens on the drive home on the cross island. Pretty typical in marginal events. I saw the report of .25” accreditation in east hills, I could see that. Once the the southern state no ice, and this was about 330 today.
  18. It’s glacial. Snow removal has been brutal. Salt almost no effect when temps below 20. My manager just doesn’t seem to get this concept. (More salt, more salt on the radio alllllll day today) ummm we are making a mess and it’s not working
  19. Exactly. They have historically overproduced in spots and failed in others. Winners and losers incoming for sure. Someone gets a surprise 6” and others a dusting.
  20. Biggest thing to remember with this storm is ratios will be high. So it doesn’t take much qpf to drop a couple inches of fluff. It’s been a while since we have had an event like this.
  21. Agreed, full on strike out winters are not the norm north of 40 north. Maybe down by Richmond. I think we will make double digits this year though. We all know cpk often under measures so we really can’t use that as a baseline.
