  2. how was a storm like 1821 possible especially coming only five years after the year without a summer...the waters must have warmed pretty fast back then...
  3. where are you getting your info?... National Weather Service Climate IEM :: Observation History (iastate.edu)

  7. I didn't have 1888 on my list of wettest tropical storms or remains...
  8. I did not know Prospect park had a obs sight...Prospect park is a great place to compare to Central Park...ther once was a weather station in Prospect park a long time ago...
  9. I put out my rain guage for this...its older than my son and he's 31...its hard to tell because the plastic turned yellow over the years...Maybe 3" so far here...
  10. rainfall in NYC from a tropical storm/hurricane...NYC has almost 5" of rain so far with Henri... date.................amount........ Sept 1882.......10.63" Sept 1944.........7.76" great Atlantic hurricane Aug 2011..........6.87" Irene Aug 1955..........6.32" Connie Aug 1971..........5.96" Doria Sept 1938.........5.74" Sept 1934.........5.48" Sept 1999.........5.44" Floyd June 2013.........4.77" Andrea Aug 1879..........4.59" Aug 1976..........4.28" Belle Oct 1877...........4.07" Aug 1893..........3.94" Sept 1904.........3.85" Aug 1991..........3.72" Bob Sept 1985.........3.58" Gloria July 1960...........3.56" Sept 1954.........3.30" Carol Sept 1960.........2.42" Donna
  11. I only saw a few drops...my side of the island missed a lot of storms this year compared to near by places...
  12. right now I'm hoping we get at least a weak la nina...it looks like a weak la nina and neg qbo winter coming up...2000-01, 2005-06 and 2017-18 were neg qbo with a la nina...56-57 too...56-57 had a negative ao Feb and March...2000-01 was negative in Dec thru March...05-06 was negative Dec thru March...17-18 was slightly Neg until March...then very neg at the beginning of March....56-57 had a neg nao in March only...00-01 had a neg nao in Dec and March...05-06 had a neg nao in Dec, Feb-Mar...17-18 had a neg nao in March only... all had a neg ao/nao in March...only 1956-57 had no major snowstorm in NYC...long periods of cold the end of Dec into early January with major snows 2000-01 and 2017-18...05-06 had a December cold period and a major storm in February...56-57 had a major cold spell in January despite a very positive ao...all these analogs had a big thaw and warm period...I wouldn't base a forecast on enso and qbo alone...but it looks like March could have a neg ao/nao...only 2018 cash in with late season big snows in NYC...
  13. Its hard to believe Upton wasn't aware of this and could have fixed it sooner...while they are at it find a better place to measure snow and snow depth...not to mention their wind reports...
  14. one member hits JFK...then dies in Newark...if that happened some areas around here will have videos of cars floating down the streets between houses...
