Even with the cool down coming for next week, I think we might be done with freezing temps. This morning might have been our last freeze here.

Don even with the April we have going even if we have a temporary reversal at the end of the month it would be hard to believe that we'd get any more snow (measurable or otherwise) or even freezing temps near the end of the month.

Yeah after 2-4 or 3-6 inches of snow all day Saturday and another possible snow event Tuesday-Wednesday!

Whenever I tune in to TWC I see something I don't like.

I'm on the eastern edge of the 9-14 right there ;-) Ch 7 ABC has a similar 10-14" with me also on the eastern edge of the highest totals.

30.4" peak depth, 32.8" measured snowfall airport official numbers were 28" peak depth, 30.7" measured snowfall, 2.94" LE (so between 10:1 and 11:1) And congrats on the upcoming wedding! :-)

Nice Ray ;-) You're in lala land like I was after I got my 30" storm in Jan 2016. I bet you took lots of pics too I filled up 2 32 GB cards with photos and videos.

I'm just going to put this here since there's no other relevant thread for it- who is the fool that decided that DST should be moved from late April- late Oct to weird second week of March to early November? It must have been made for the South because no way any one is planting anything here in March. late April-late Oct was a perfect fit for us because it was a symmetric six months and fit in perfectly with our snow season and our planting season. Instead we now have to deal with DST for the majority of March and it even interferes with the NYC marathon which is run the Sunday of the time change in early November. Also, it saves NOTHING, since most of us get up at like 5-6 am to get ready for school or work and the sun doesn't come up until after 7 am- IN MARCH! So thank you to the lame brains that decided that DST should be moved into March. We now wake up in total darkness and waste electricity for 2 hours in the "morning" instead of wasting it for 2 hours in the "evening"- great job by our stupid politicians, as usual.

Interesting that TWC lowered their totals for NYC from 8-12 to 3-5 and are now saying very little will fall east of there.

not really- TWC calling for 6-8" for NYC and Long Island

What does TWC have for you now? I have a feeling they might up totals again in the morning. Last I saw was 6" here but I'm not taking that seriously lol.

Lee Goldberg going with 6-9" for NYC and 9-12" right from the Queens/Nassau Border on east.

lol I didn't even see this but when I saw what the NAM did, it instantly reminded me of the Jan 2016 snowstorm and how it won that one. More dynamic systems are the NAMs strong suit. Also he seems to be completely ignoring the 21 inches printed out over central Long Island lol and 17 inches just a few miles south of us.

Usually an inhouse blend of different models, at least that's what the weather channel says lol. I find it comical that Julie Martin uses the label meteorologist when she can't even pronounce cyclogenesis properly or even describe it without stumbling over the words.

So were the 70s. The only great winter in the 70s was 1978, outside of that it was either cold and dry or mild and dry or mild and wet lol. Outside of 1977 even the summers in the 70s were boring.

You get that a lot in winters where we have a lot of mixed events (like 93-94 and 13-14). 15-16 though we had 70% of our snow in one storm (30 inches in Jan 2016 storm.) I think 14-15 New England got the jackpot every time (except eastern LI shared in the jackpot in the Jan 2015 storm.) Another winter like that was 2004-05, except we did a bit better with the Jan 2005 storm than we did with the Jan 2015 storm (except for eastern LI) 2003-04 was another example, cold almost like 1993-94 but more snow than ice (but snowfall total was less than 1993-94 because the events were less frequent.)

Both, right, back to back? I mean PD2 was a coastal too, I think both were part overrunning and part coastal, that's why they lasted for two days lol.

There are some outlier winters like 1993-94

Wasn't Feb 1983 the same thing? Those are our biggest storms!

I think the Xmas 2002 storm also had a neg nao? That was a nice surprise for us.

That's right and we had a pretty significant storm before PD2 but it gets lost because of the historic nature of what came after. The Pre-PD2 storm dumped 9 inches of snow, I think? What did we have for the April 2003 snowstorm? -NAO? That was another big one, I would consider it historic for us in Nassau County considering it was April.

Chris, changing from one phase to the other is probably the most important factor. Didn't PD2 occur during a +NAO? But it had switched just a few days before the storm? 2002-03 wasn't a very NEG NAO winter was it? But we had many switches between phases, which is what made it so stormy.

What was the exact time of it? I didn't feel it here and the 2011 one was easy to feel and also heard sloshing around.

I wonder if this was related to the quake we had in 2011? Same fault line?

I am always shocked when I see the sunset is before 4:30 and it's still November! It happens every year and yet I forget it every year until it actually happens lol. Today's sunset was 4:28 PM here. Late fall/winter sunsets and sunrises seem to be the most colorful too.
