    Might have some implications for chances of tropical-cyclone impacts too, right Chris?

    No hail in Brooklyn Heights, but wind gusts probably approached severe limits. I see plenty of tree limbs down. Amply loud cracks of thunder too!

    Snow had lightened up for 15 mins in Brooklyn Heights. Back to mod/heavy now though. Looks like we've gotten about an additional 1.5 inches since last night. Pretty kewl!

    I completely forgot about the coastal! I now have that feeling like when I find random money in my pockets!

    Had 100% sleet for about 15 mins, but now it's back to mostly snow and rimmed flakes in Brooklyn Heights.
  6. Eduardo
    Mod/heavy snow in Brooklyn Heights. Flake size has increased as well!

    I think the long duration on the RGEM and GGEM results from multiple waves though, not slow storm movement, right?.

    Ya I'm a city dweller and this is right where I want it on the Euro right now. Great trends today!

    It's like they all invest in wrongness.

    Honestly, this is right where we want things on each of these models at this timeframe.
  11. Eduardo
    Was just thinking the same thing!!
  12. Eduardo
    Yeah by quite a bit, right? Good trends today all around, as I see it!

    Who are you and what have you done with snowman19?

    I didn't think it was possible until DC went through Snowmageddon in 09-10. If they are susceptible to a blizzard parade, then so are we! Here's to hoping!

    Moderate snow now in Brooklyn Heights. About 1/2" of new snow on a recently-dusted-off car top outside my window.

    Light snow in Brooklyn Heights. Nice to see winter (hopefully) settling in for a bit!

    I feel for them. They’ll make up for it though. I hope we all get in on the action over the next few weeks!

    I thought for sure that we’d entered a long stretch of awfulness. “Hold the phone!”
  19. Eduardo
    Still have SN + + in Brooklyn Heights. No pingers (yet)!
  20. Eduardo
    Light/moderate snow in Brooklyn Heights with about a half inch so far. Garbage can lid blew down the street!
  21. Eduardo
    Great post! IIRC, it was a slightly more amped PNA that nudged the December 2009 storm far enough north for us to partake. Keep an eye on it!
  22. Eduardo
    Snowing nicely in Brooklyn Heights.

    I think it's because, since the Earth orbits the sun elliptically, the speed of its rotation varies slightly during different times of the year. Thus, not every solar day is exactly 24 hours long. IIRC, solar days are slightly longer during the (Northern Hemisphere's) Winter Solstice and slightly shorter during the Summer Solstice--although I might very well have that backwards. In any event, we still set our clocks based on a 24-hour day (y'know, to keep life orderly) and the difference in time between how we set our clocks and how fast the Earth is actually rotating yields that impression of "asymmetry" you noticed. In short, the asymmetry is created by the discrepancies between solar days and 'clock days.' I hope this is right. Been a loong time since I took Earth Science.

    My (completely unscientific) hunch is that some big ENSO event is necessary to shake up the PAC pattern and throw some sand in the gears of that jet. We’ve been stuck in such a crumby PAC pattern for a few years now while other variables have shifted (NAO, AO, MJO, Strat, etc.). The only thing we haven’t seen since the 15-16 super Niño is another strong/super ENSO episode. Maybe that’s what it’ll take(?)

    I see what you're saying and, ordinarily, I'd agree. But doesn't that WC trough argue for some flexing of the SE ridge, which could in turn push this up further north against the block? I feel like this is a rare set of teleconnections, but that both a north bump and suppression remain equally possible. In short, this is the ultimate thread-the-needle deal. And man oh man. Were it not for the NAO, it'd be torch city around here. Let's hope it hangs tough into February!
