One of my favorite storms. I was in college just north of Baltimore and had a 30” pack after the storm. No classes for a week, party after party. Drunk sledding on campus. Good times.

Think mid March storm. Urban nyc is really going to struggle with temps. To me this is a 3” in the NW Bronx and zip in midtown type scenario. We are really going to be relying on heavy banding as the low is pulling away for anything meaningful closer to the coast. Is it possible of course. But could easily be white rain. -
Sounds about right, I’m going for 1-2” here on the far uws, where we usually do far better then the south shore in this type of setup. So based on that, a coating or zip on the south shore.
-
Look at where the 32/540 line is depicted. That’s a slush fest at best for the city and coast. I would expect a car/grass topper. 50 miles inland and above 1000’ is looking great for this one.
-
Yeah. This really isn’t a stretch. Pretty much everything you want to see for a busy season lining up. Does that mean we get hit? Of course not, but it does mean a prolific swell season for area beaches regardless of tracks.
-
I have been about a dozen times over the years. It’s amazing on a fresh snow day, but holds up its rep when the wind is howling and it hasn’t snowed. Most vertical in the east by far and if you add the chutes the most challenging terrain.
-
Storm track dependent yes. It’s still prime snow climo. Luckily we aren’t seeing this a month later or for sure we would be in trouble.

The Adirondacks aren’t ideally situated for snow. The orientation doesn’t produce upslope like the greens. The western portion which does get enhanced lake effect is nearly unpopulated. And the largest ski resort whiteface has the reputation as ice face do to it being a nearly stand alone peak. That means it’s extremely wind prone and doesn’t produce upslope well. Personally I love it up there.

Baked Alaska let’s goooooooo. Bring the cold, keep it long enough in a nino and something will eventually work out. It’s not going to be cold and dry for three straight weeks.
-
Yeah you gotta watch the Oliver stone doc on nuclear, incredible. Some amazing safe small scale tech now exists. But unfortunately country’s like Germany are shutting down their remaining reactors, in favor of so called green tech like burning trees. Which they import without hesitation from all over the world. The real fix will come when we have viable fusion, that’s the game changer.
-
That triple combo is a lock to produce mid to late February if it occurs. We just need all those pieces to finish the puzzle. We did extremely well in 13/14 14/15 with that combo.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

Politics. Still clinging to its “just natural variability” the oil industry has allot of money and allot of PR firms.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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)
-
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.

Sound enhancement nothing on the uws
