uncle W Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 At the time, 1010 allowed more time for the forecasts. Today's compressed format leads to much less interesting forecasts, even as Dr. Joe Sobel can sometimes be heard on air. they were my favorites back then...I started video taping snowfalls in November 1982 and I have accuwx on 1010 wins for some events...I even have a young Joe Bastardi in one segment in 1983...Craig Allen and the wcbs weather team were great also...Steve Sampole (spelling?) was also on cbs radio...

gravitylover Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Some photos: http://wintercenter.homestead.com/photo1982.html Also, there was thundersnow during the morning of April 6 as the storm deepened explosively leading to the blizzard conditions. I remember the depth of the cold with that one and that was the first time I remember experiencing thundersnow. In one of my meteorology classes at Nassau Community College a few years later the professor posited that those thunderstorms lifted the cloud tops and they were able to warm significantly creating better vertical velocities thereby increasing snowfall rates and holding the cold in closer to the ground for longer in the downwelling section of the storm.

If I recall correctly, the VVs were really intense at the height of the storm. It was an amazing storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCSNOWMAN2020 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Dr. Joe Sobel and Dr. Joel Myers (he was still on the air at the time) did a terrific job on 1010 WINS.I am 44 years young. .remember that vividly waiting for Dr Joe Sobel reports. .also Dr frank field I liked alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was up in the Poconos and measured 13.5"...I drove home as the snow was ending and with no one on the road I was back in Brooklyn in two hours...The snow had just stopped and there was 8" on the ground...

A late season blizzard and greater than 95-96 snowfall season are the only NYC snowfall records that we haven't seen in the 2000's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Beast on the 12z GFS. A few hours of light snow/mix to start on Tuesday night. Then light to moderate rain on Wednesday before the deluge Thursday morning. 1-3" of rain region wide with 3"+ for New England. 988mb passes overhead.

But we have seen two of the most wonderful early season rockin' and rollin' storms I have ever seen. The onethat shut down Halloween was awesome.

bluewave Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 But we have seen two of the most wonderful early season rockin' and rollin' storms I have ever seen. The onethat shut down Halloween was awesome. We have been on quite a roll since 2000. 12 out of the last 16 winters have featured either near or above normal seasonal snowfall in NYC. The only 4 duds were 01-02, 06-07, 07-08, and 11-12. So if you just cut and pasted that forecast every winter you would be batting 750. People would have forgiven you for missing those 4 winters with below normal snowfall. So it payed to have a snowy bias since 2000. But not so much for the previous 15 winters.

Hailstorm Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 You know that the long-range forecast progs (including the 2/25 storm) just got much worse than 24 hours ago when 90% of today's posts are in the banter thread. Kudos to bluewave for predicting the inland runner next week when the GFS/GGEM/ensembles were OTS yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol there's 28 gfs runs, and 14 euro runs left it's being posted in banter, because well... It's banter, 7 days out we shouldn't even really be posting about a model run, we do it cause we're crazy tho..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing set in stone . Most 7 day threats should stay in banter .I understand the angst we are working without a real block . The Euro swings a feature through at 120 . It is further S than the GFS and that may allow the Vortex to push through the lakes . The WAR has way less influence than on the GFS , but at 7 days out I would take nothing off the table . As is that is a good set up for almost all on the Euro . You can the differences with the WAR here at 192 as the Euro deepens further E . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle W Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 getting a 2' snowfall and a below zero day after a December that was a warm November is just as amazing as December was warm...it had no days 32 or below...it averaged over 50 degrees...six above the previous high...1982-83 had some 70 degree days in early December and a warm Christmas day but had a few days of cold with a snowfall between warmth...this is the only winter that compares with this one but not as extreme...

CIK62 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 12Z EURO is 8" for NYC, but the PARA is just 2" here. In the meantime the next 7 days seem to be +6degs., so we should be about +1.5 to +2.0degs. for the month by the 24th., since we are normal as of yesterday. http://www.nws.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/mos/getmex.pl?sta=KACY&sta=KEWR&sta=KNYC&sta=KJFK&sta=KLGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
