CoastalWx Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 We are way above normal for snowfall . It's been great for actual amounts. It's just we can't keep it, everyone would agree except Powderfreak You aren't way above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbutts Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I was on the north shore going to high school for 92-93 and it was memorable in that there was deep snowpack at times and the most snow days I had ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's not way above then I guess I'm drunk You are halfway to 52"....that is your normal? At any rate, 26" there is probably about 130% of normal, so you are doing well. But I wouldn't consider that WAY above average...esp this early. Its easy to be above in terms of percentages this early. A place like Philly is way way above average.

Great Snow 1717 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 This hasn't been A+ for snowfall in the interior. No one else would agree with you, aside from Ginx maybe. B- is realistic imo. We both live in the same general area and I agree with you. Let's hope the rest of the winter doesn't rival Blutarsky's GPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Meteorologist Andy Gregorio WTEN YW. So far for Albany 31.6" Normal snowfall through 1/7 20.4" so we're 11.2" above normal on the snow. Normal snowfall for Albany is about 59/60 inches. So we're about half way to normal snowfall. that would be 150% above normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 There may or may not be potential events in this type of circulation, but I recall posting two weeks ago (or more...) that the character of the winter pattern was changing toward a new paradigm ... and well, here we are. No more -EPO ... In fact, the NP has changed ... still looks a bit "AA" -like but it's retrograded whatever blocking there is more to the Siberian side of the pole, such that the N-latitude Rosby orientation has effectively cut off the cold supply to latitudes below ~50N. This may or may not be a temporary scenario. In any event, this has exposed a fraudulent winter in a lot of ways. Basically ... we had highly anomalous -WPO/-EPO persistence that spanned some two months. Remove that predominating drive and it shows how one dimensional this winter is ... one trick pony. Kind of like an NFL analogy, where a team has a 10-0 record, then something happens to their roster and they get bounced out of the playoffs. But, it is hard to ignore the near record rate of ice/snow recovery in the polar domain that occurred in the Autumn. There was something about the polar region that was on a fast track to cryospheric recovery. What I have noticed is that we cannot seem to relax the gradient this year. My personal hypothesis is that there is something unusual about the polar region that is drilling more cold, and this is supplying an usually high gradient everywhere, against the erstwhile 30-year warming climate modality. ... partially culpable in these dramatic sensible weather oscillations.

weathafella Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 GEFS are perfect in my mind. Cold but regular cold vs totally frigid and snow chances. Truthfully I like the move away from Leon but towards an active potentially quite snowy pattern with more pedestrian chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Tip your post was a few days ago I think. But I'm not sure we're dumping the EPO in its entirety. I posted it several times over a span, ...one has to do that with the amount of traffic there is, or pages scroll and it becomes a waste of one's effort. Not that spending time here isn't to begin with... But who cares "when" The statement was all about the singular reason we had any cold/snowier aspects to this winter, appearing to be correlated to a single potent teleconnection -- removing that, exposes a lot.
