  1. Scary. The same places recently hit by tornadoes are in line again today.
  2. We might get another one or two. Looks like another strong cold front coming through on Sunday?
  3. Not me, if anyone would I’d say @bluewave or @donsutherland1 Thanks for compiling the data!
  4. Those Nina’s must have been way negative PNA ones like this season where the trough and storms were deep enough to slam into CA.
  5. If we have another quiet summer with little tropical activity and it’s hot (quite possible if we’re going into a Nino) that will expand. The typical south shore drought season puts that area in moderate drought.
  6. I think we can call it a fait accompli at this point.
  7. The volcano released a ton of water vapor which traps heat, not so much sulfur which would reflect heat. If we can have a favorable Nino next winter and get rid of the Nina influence we should be better off at least.
  8. Yep, also very limited lake effect once you go east of the Allegheny Ridge or Laurel Highlands. A few times per season State College gets the remnants of a streamer that can drop up to 1-2” but often it’s squalls that can quickly coat the ground then get blown away. I went to PSU there right after the big 2002-03 and 2003-04 seasons that started off the generally lame stretch that continues today outside a few exceptions. Was quite frustrating seeing all types of storms hit east and north of there.
  9. 31” is still atrocious for State College. Their long term average is right around Boston’s. There has definitely been a shift in the last 15 years away from big snow seasons in central PA. Maybe it’s lack of clippers along with fewer coast hugging Miller A type systems. All the cutters along with more Miller Bs skip right over them or sleet/rain just like here. All the SWFEs do them zero good.
  10. Surprised. I remember 2003-04 as a colder winter than the one before although both were quite cold. The mid January 2004 pure fluff clipper with 8” in the single digits is the coldest snowstorm I can remember.
  11. It’ll likely be below freezing a few more times at least where I am. Since the city could barely get to freezing last night in strong CAA I have to agree.
  12. He still posts outlooks on Twitter.
  13. Quebec City which has the same climo would be way better.
  14. If anything decades from now their snow average might go up since they’re a long way from facing the R/S line on a regular basis and a warmer climate would likely cause more moisture laden storms making it further north. Meanwhile our climate will become more like the VA Tidewater.
  15. Climo says I should have 35”. I have 8.5 and that’s about the highest in NYC/LI/I-95 corridor in NJ. NYC has 2.3” which is less than 10% of climo, etc. This was just an awful Nina-coupled winter which favors places that “should” be snowier and totally screws people that “should” be less snowy but still typically get 1-2 big and several smaller events per winter. It’s skewed from the bonanza seasons in the last 10-15 winters but getting almost nothing is definitely not climo.
  16. With the upcoming pattern switching to milder I’d say 95% chance that accumulating snow is over for most of the metro save I-84 and north. at the to the low predictions in this thread. I’m going with 8.5” for my seasonal total. Assuming my average is 35” that’s 24% of average. This winter scores a big fat F.
  17. Really can’t be any worse next winter.
  18. I hope we can avoid the back door front parade this year. The utter fail Winter 19-20 featured snow on Cinco de Mayo. If we can get stretches of days in the mid 60s and sunny-perfect.
  19. That’s probably from the lack of snow there. There definitely was a downslope screw area west of the Taconics/Berkshires.
  20. All the rain here from early in the week should do away with any abnormally dry here. The cutoff for data in the report is Tue 8:30am so it likely wasn’t considered.
  21. The late 90s also had a strong La Niña after the record Nino. Either very strong ENSO signal is usually bad for us.
