When compared to places at 40 north on the east coast of Asia. Rain has tapered down to drizzle on western LI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asia has far more interesting weather including much larger snowstorms (see northern Japan), more extreme temperatures and much more and stronger tropical cyclones. North America is a tiny puny continent when compared to Asia (and especially Eurasia). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siberia has the coldest temperatures, Northern Japan has the most snowfall. TC action in the Pacific is far more intense and frequent than it is here.

Actually Sapporo and other such cities in Hokkaido are probably more like Nova Scotia or Newfoundland cities since they get the same kind of coastal noreaster snowstorms, just more juiced up because of better tropical moisture coming in from the Pacific as well as more elevation.

Lebron James also choked against the Mavs. 4-6 finals record vs 6-0 you can't compare him to MJ. Everyone realizes it too it's why MJ's sneakers still outsell everyone else's.

Ok we are getting way off topic here. But Hokkaido gets the majority of its snow from ocean effect snow. As cold air from Siberia travels over the Sea of Japan. It’s like lake effect on steroids. Their synoptic snows aren’t much greater then say Maine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibertyBell Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Why do TV mets sound like a broken record with *not a washout not a washout* etc. Why do they care if we think it's a washout or not? My definition of washout: If it rains in the morning and is cloudy for the entire day, regardless of whether it rains the rest of the day or not, it's a washout! I don't want wet ground or cloudy skies. It never rains an entire day anyway, so calling it *not a washout* has no real meaning. For example, although it is not raining right now*, it's been a washout. So just say it's going to rain and don't use the W word at all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North America is a tiny puny continent when compared to Asia (and especially Eurasia). Lots of apples and oranges to unpack in that statement, but the discussion seems to be more around the weather generated on the interface between the east side of continents and adjacent oceans. It's about 2500 miles from Labrador to Miami. Its about 2700 miles from Valdivostok to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). I don't think the extremes that you are imagining are real (temperature extremes and snowstorms), except for possibly the number of TC's in the northern Pacific (any chance you were adding in TCs from the southern pacific?). The mountains of northern Japan in winter are a special case in a similar sense to the way that the Tug Hill is. There is nothing tiny about the coastline adjacent to either continent.
