Dark Star Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 1 hour ago, jdt said: . ? Heavier impulses moving through are not real banding, such as in deformation zones, occlusions, warm fronts off the ocean. What is depicted are normal waves moving along. These typically do not make the difference between 12" and 20". Slight variations perhaps. Banding, in my opinion is used too broadly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t remember anything from the years around that event. But I hear 96 get brought up constantly and it drives me nuts! Anywho, on topic, snow is sticking to everything but roads in south-western Suffolk county at this hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS, 96 did start right around the same time, but was MUCH colder, in the 20s F as the first flakes fell. A classic rain-to-snow for my area was Christmas Day 2002. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happened in December 03 too but by then most cars were front wheel drive so basically it was just severe traffic, did not really have people abandoning cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlobeTrekker Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 18 minutes ago, Tekken_Guy said: The GFS's big cutting down on the forecasts seems to say otherwise. Both NWS offices have detailed explanations on their discussion pages for the forecasts and the support/ factors that went into their totals. Not saying it will necessarily verify, but it's not like there's no support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherFox Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 FOR THE RECORD: Dr. Frank Field served as a meteorologist during his military service. He was a first lieutenant and meteorologist with the 8th Air Force in World War II’s European Theater. This military role trained him in weather forecasting and earned him recognition as a meteorologist by the American Meteorological Society, despite lacking a formal meteorology degree later. After the war, Field briefly pursued optometry—earning his doctorate there—before returning to weather work, starting on New York TV in 1958. His military experience directly paved the way for his five-decade TV career at stations like WNBC and WCBS. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sussexcountyobs Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 23 minutes ago, Tekken_Guy said: I think the NWS might be too bulish. Recent GFS indicates numbers might land closer to the 10-12 range. Maybe. But I'll stick with what the pro mets say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
