jm1220 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Not despite, but because. Seconded. The moisture tap from this came from the Pacific, and for quite a while-from just about when it blasted through Texas to when it climbed the coast. I think this can definitely be attributed to the El Nino this winter. Not to say this wouldn't have been awesome without the Nino, but it definitely provided some juice, and without it, certain things may not have happened which did happen because of the influence. When a strong La Nina pattern constantly blasts the Midwest and New England next time it happens, you'll know what I mean. El Nino's don't directly spawn storms in the Lower 48, they provide juice and strength to already existing storms. I'm a much more direct example-Hurricane Patricia might have been a powerful storm in the Pacific before hitting Mexico, but undoubtedly the El Nino made the conditions better for Patricia to strengthen. May's epic rainfall from here through Oklahoma and the Plains directly came from a jet pointed from Mexico for a few weeks. I've never seen rain like what happened here in May and late October (almost 6" of rain in one hour before Halloween and over 20" of rain in May 2015), as well as tornado/severe activity. California has thankfully received benefits from El Nino-enhanced storms, and a jet influenced by the El Nino to aim storms their way. Don't think of El Nino as a causer, it's more of an influencer.

jm1220 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 The Pacific is still by far the largest body of water on Earth, and when heat is redistributed in that body of water, meaning MUCH more energy for storms east of where they normally are, and to be added to the atmosphere, that will have repercussions across the entire planet. Especially in a borderline record Nino such as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 So we learned a new method to determine the single maximum snowfall size for this January in NYC. Just double the positive temperature departure of the previous month which was +13.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAVGEM/UKIE are big hits area wide..something to watch atleast Trough alignment and lack of -ao supports a coastal scraper or ots. Only way to get a bigger storm is for a perfectly placed northern vort phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle W Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 if you're looking for another big event like this it's very unlikely...we could get some more snow but I doubt this will happen again this year...if we get another very negative period for the arctic oscillation we could see another big event...I think it's on to thawing a bit before the next chance comes around...I think the end of the week chance is a slim one at best..

gravitylover Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Awesome storm. I hope this made everyone less on edge about the winter. I hope the next storm includes our far NW burbs posters. Yup good stuff for sure but I still need at least two more just like it to hit my annual average. That would mean you guys get rain and turn everything into huge piles of mush.

I doubt it will be revised, NWS confirmed the total a few hours ago on twitter: NWS New York NY @NWSNewYorkNY 2h2 hours ago Well, Central Park had 26.8" of snow but it wasn't quite the biggest snowstorm on record. #winterstorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metasequoia Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I was sure we'd break the record, but we basically tied it. Looks like the highest official totals in the city were all within a few inches of Central Park's total, so i assume we actualy didnt break the record. JFK, Port Richmond, and Williamsburg were the only official totals that were around 30. Awesome storm...still bullcrap though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 this mornings snow depth was 22" in Central Park and 27" at LGA...JFK 28"...maybe the measurement was right... I would certainly say the Conservancy did a much better job than the Central Park Zoo would have done with this storm. I would guess if the Zoo was still in charge the final total would have been about 22. My only beef is they measured 25.1 inches at 7pm and Newark and Laguardia had totals of 25.5 and 24.5 at the same time. Those two ended with 27.9 and 28.1 inches. It is unlikely that Central Park which is geographically right in between the two, 5 miles or so on either side, that there was that big a discrepancy after 7pm. Otherwise a nice job by the Conservancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
