do you have a chart of the number of days between each one of NYC;s 10 inch or greater snowfalls ?

NYC generally needs a cold winter to get more than 1 event of 10” or more in a single season. The last time this happened was during the cold winters of 13-14, 10-11, 09-10, and 03-04. But one of these days, NYC will eventually get 2 events in a mild winter.

You can't be serious

Can't blame him for being frustrated. It is January 8th and after Sunday my highs will be in the 40s and increasing over the next week. Most ski areas are still not even close to 100% open. Winter clock is ticking. Now sure a big snowstorm can and still is likely to happen, but I say this each year, I enjoy snow sports not just snow storms. I got a few good days of playing in the snow with my son, but it is still winter and even lakes aren't freezing. Might not even be able to get our annual VT trip in with all the restrictions.

After the strong cold front comes through next friday, GFS is showing pretty much constant cold temps the rest of the run. If we get a long period of cold temps in mid to late January, odds are high that we'll get snow at some point. Even if it's just a couple of lighter snow events. The important thing is to get the cold in here for an extended period of time to set the stage, and that appears to be on the way. Way too early to worry about the guidance not showing snow threats. Odds are the guidance will pick up on something when we get closer to the cold pattern.

Oh I'm dead serious.  U keep believing storms are 10 days away.  This will bring us past middle of January.  An its looking like February is a lost cause.  How can anyone be optimistic.  It's the storm after the storm after the one after that

Because you can’t trust that just because models show nothing for 10 days means nothing will pop up

Didn't you say this last year?

Say what ? Every friggin winter you and Brian love trolling.  Its getting annoying and tiring. 

Everyone busted last season. No one thought it was going to be a bad winter. We now have a ssw event unfolding with the models bringing very cold air in the middle of the month.

The coast has more snow than we had all last winter and its only early January.

Many people are on board with a favorable pattern starting next week. How long will it last ? That's the big question but it should get colder.

Dude you have to be biggest troll ever

You just ignore what Allsnow and others are saying about the pattern going forward.  Isotherm  and earthlight are on board for a favorable pattern starting next week.

Models are correcting  more positive with the EPO for later in the month. This is telling us that the models continue to underestimate the strength of the Pacific Jet. That’s why the EPS are warmer than the GEFS during week 2.

Like I said, maybe they are right maybe they are not.  It's a discussion about a pattern not the final answer which no one knows.  You get all upset when someone posts an opposing point of view-for example your post on the La Nina weakening when it clearly is not.   We live at 40N not Caribou Maine.    What looked like a longer lasting decent pattern is shrinking....Euro has zero precip here (not even rain for another week)  I'm sure we'll get something this month but it may (or may not be) the bigger pattern that delivers multiple storms

Blocking is too far south so we get dry dry dry.    We were due for some dryness...the period b/w Thanksgiving and Xmas was incredibly wet.

Yeah but that didn't get me close to avg for the year. I'm concerned that if we don't bank some precip over the next two months we'll see wells running dry early this year. We need 3-4 feet of snow to do a slow soak into the ground to help alleviate the problem. That said, I don't think we're going to see that happen.
