  1. hail here now on the south shore, this reminds me of New Years Eve but without thunder and lightning, just hail.

  3. Wow a wall of water just came through and I hear hail too
  4. air pressure down to 29.00 here I want to see it go under 29 !
  5. 29.02 here, it's going to keep going down until that cold front comes through?
  6. Since 1895, there were 17 storms that brought 8" or more snow to Norfolk. The breakdown for NYC snowfall was: 6" or more: 24%; Less than 1": 76%; Don, this means there was no snowfall between 1 and 6 inches-- they were all either 6+ or under 1 inch?
  7. That's almost as much ice as we had on Long Island in January 1994, however back then we didn't get any wind or power outages from what I remember. The wind is what makes this truly terrible.
  8. I remember those two storms and they were pretty decent here too, 4 inches in one and 6 inches in the other at JFK.
  9. People forget that Brooklyn on east everyone had 12" or more. It was only the park that had 6 inches or whatever they had,.
  10. It seems like a thread the needle pattern and it's either too far north or too far south. In a season like, say, 2014-15, we would have had snow across a wider range of solutions.
  11. Yes thats the thing, we can criticize his hype of snow but also recognize that he inspired many millions of people to get interested in weather
  12. it's not 5 years though he's been awful since his blown call in the winter of 2001-2.
  13. and with the current storm we are seeing the -5 AO cause a cutter
  14. snowfall has a much higher variance.
  15. it's only December that's +5. And although there is usually only one big storm, you also usually get 2-3 moderate storms.
  16. yeah worried about power outages, 1" of ice is historic
  17. high resolution garbage in still = high resolution garbage out; ie. errors in those high res details, such as convective parameterizations, reach many of the members which all have the same physics and then amplify) this definitely explains that one 00z model suite when all the models got on board all at the same time... there must have been some bad high resolution data that was in that entire suite.
  18. But the snowy la ninas are more snowy than snowy el ninos because a snowy la nina has more of a potential to be a beginning to end snowy winter. the really snowy el ninos, like 02-03 also have a lot of snow in December, so that is one of the few beginning to end snowy el nino winters.
  19. 26 inches at JFK and our second best winter in my lifetime after 1995-96, both finished with a bang with a snowstorm in April!
  20. our second double digit snowstorm of our most historic winter, the big return after the January thaw.
