LibertyBell Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 4 minutes ago, 495weatherguy said: What is the cause of this radical change? warmer SST offshore causing storms that would ordinarily pass well offshore to come closer to the coast and big increase in 3+" liquid storms all across the continent with much higher levels of moisture than what we had back in the 70s and 80s. Also much slower moving storms with record levels of blocking in various parts of the hemisphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warm bias for what? Are you trolling or not even looking at the pattern ahead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if the question is basic Basically a product of the warm AMO. Oddly enough we are near the end of it and some even argue out of it now but the SST peak definitely occurred at the back end of it. We were probably in the meat of the warm AMO from about 2002-2008 or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 80’s were a cakewalk-save for February of 1983. Storms always missed Long Island-you had to go north and west to see appreciable snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan 87 had a big event that crippled parts of NJ, not sure how it played out out your way. And 82 had the Jan storm and the freak April blizzard.Then really nothing special from 88-93.

It got cold in Oct this year and I got up to go fishing a few times and changed my mind. WHen younger I routinely fished most of the winter, of course there were a lot more fish around back then and it didn't cost a fortune. A lot harder to brave the cold at sea when you will drowning bait most of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember storms in 77/78, around first week of February that were big on LI-Feb 83 and then really nothing remarkable until 95/96. We were snow deprived.

Occasionally we can get highly anomalous cold months (Feb 2015) and even cold winters like 13/14 & 14/15 but those are the exceptions. I think snowfall will average AN for another decade or so, but then the warming climate will quickly overwhelm us and drastically reduce our averages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
