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
-
Hate to break it to the metro people but this one’s a dud. Half inch of high ratio fluff. The streak continues.
-
For dca. Bwi, looks great down there, but draw a line and that’s south/central Jersey.
-
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
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I remember we tried to go sledding at cedar creek and you couldn’t walk up the hill. That’s some serious ice accretion!
-
A huge ice storm is my worst nightmare for snow removal. Luckily the last big one was way before my time. They happen, but are rare near the coast. I’ll never forget the look of the trees in the sun after the 94 ice storm.
-
It’s been a nightmare of a snow removal event do to the ice and duration. Our crew is shot. Nothing worse than a glaze of ice and temps around 20. Salt becomes increasingly ineffective when the temps are 20 or below.
-
Still all snow uws, I’m exhausted I have been up all night doing snow removal. I would estimate 2” here a few miles north of the park.
-
93/94 wasn’t as great right at the coast. I remember taking the bus home from wantagh middle school up by the southern state in snow and hitting Merrick road and it was raining. One of my earliest weather memories and what got me fascinated with Long Islands weather. Could easily see that tomorrow morning.
-
While you are right on the money about nor’easters, those are worse for the north shore and Jersey. These have been cutters with SE winds and have had extremely large fetch’s. That’s why south facing beaches are getting rocked. It’s really a serious situation. Our life guard shack at Jones beach which was obviously rebuilt after sandy, hasn’t flooded since. Well it had feet of water the last storm. Meaning all the equipment we store over winter is screwed.
