Yeah I'm just saying we risk getting barely a coating if nam is right. I'm not expecting the 3 to 5 like southern areas may see
-
It kept showing no snow south of 80 for days
-
Unfortunately icon is usually too far north so I wouldn't use it. I like seeing the rgem so robust
-
Kuchera is slightly better
-
Yes this is just saturday morning's event
-
March was the bigger sleet event. All sleet pretty much the entire duration. VD started a bit of snow and might have had some freezing rain but was a decent amount of sleet too. I measured 3.4 in Feb and 5.9 in March I think it was the 850 low track that screwed us as the coastal track was fine and temps were very cold
-
I still think it's a 1 to maybe 2" event as the gfs and euro show but could see it drying up or favoring southern areas too
-
But if you compare it to 83 or 2016 you're bound to be disappointed
-
With how warm it's been this could've easily been a snowless month
-
Yes that year we had absolutely nothing to track all of January and February through mid march and not a flake accumulated. This winter could've easily been 3 or 4 moderate events and close to average but the Jan events all did worse than expected here
-
Yesterday we threaded the needle and made it work for most. Nyc will need a bombing low well off the coast like jan 2018 with temps in the 20s to get a big event. These borderline events just don't work out there anymore
-
Most forecasts I saw talked about a back loaded winter with a favorable mid Jan to mid Feb period. Not necessarily a 1 and done. But the reason I say luck is because things just haven't come to together even when our pattern was more favorable
-
I agree but you sound like you thought we'd repeat those winters
-
Sure but you just proved why we shouldn't expect an 82-83 repeat. That was the old climate
-
No glee just happy most of us cashed in at least once. Even if cashing in means 1 plowable event
-
But you can never expect a KU event just because 2 analog winters happened to have one. If the sample were larger and say 9 out of 10 strong ninos had one I'd say maybe
-
Right which were lucky. This year the luck didn't go our way (so far).
-
Many have done better than that winter which totally screwed the interior and new England. It's not just about nyc
-
I've always said this winter could be similar. Only difference is we had a week of winter in January and the March storm came a month early
-
I've made it to double digits even with all 3 Jan storms underperforming here
-
Unless it's like 2010 where we flip and have a warm spring
-
March will be warm and then April will probably suck
-
Nyc snow hole aside it shows how hard it is to get 2 awful winters in a row. At least this one is just bad so far and I'd imagine places like Sussex and orange are at their seasonal average to date. Allentown is close
-
Cmc even better
