    Exactly. I made sure to get on it early today. First few runs were great with natural snow falling at Stratton. Finally felt like winter. By 1030 it was scraped off and I called it a day

    Driving back from Vermont the rain snow line was just NE of the Ct Ny border one thing I did notice is the tops of the 57th street super talls looked to be obscured in snow above 800-1000’ I wish we had a station on top of the Nordstrom tower at 1550’. Probably be a few inches up there from this

    About an inch with continuous moderate snow at Stratton in SvT. Meanwhile at my house 15 miles east it’s just cloudy.

    Agreed, that’s gotta be the least chance of verification snow map of all time. I guess it’s seeing confluence causing the lesser totals to the NE. Highly highly unlikely.
  5. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Agreed, as long is we stay low amplitude in any direction we can get it done. Track will be key anything tucked will torch the coast as coastal waters are still in the 50s

    To me this makes perfect sense given global warming. Reduced arctic sea ice means a lag in northern hemisphere cooling. Throw in record offshore water temps and it’s a recipe for delayed winter. I think this just intensifies in the future. I have no problem tossing the first half of December. Given the long range forecast at least we aren’t looking at a 01/02 style warm ratter .

    Yeah but with this setup suppression is more of a worry then inland runners. with that pattern I just don’t see how we don’t score at least one 6”+ event area wide. It may be several events with different areas doing better then others. But we all end up with at least one warning event. this might be our first white Christmas at the coast in ages

    I had a couple 40ish gusts on the uws in some wind tunnel spots, other then that very meh
  10. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Let’s see if we can get a legit wind event. It’s been a while as many recent events have underperformed.

    True, it’s going to be a battle between forcing if this pans out. You can get some wide spread snows with that. Starting in the Midwest and moving all the way to the east coast.
  12. LongBeachSurfFreak
    We don’t want to go too overboard or it’s suppression depression.

    Exactly, I’m not sure what the obsession is with a -nao. It’s far from the most important driver for snow. We have seen Plenty of -nao wasted due to lack of available cold. And when they are too strong they often favor the mid Atlantic and we smoke cirrus. The old saying goes show me the cold I’ll show you the snow for a reason. back in the 1800s nyc would see wall to wall snow coverage from late November to March even during average snow seasons (approximately 35” at the time)

    Until we fully develop quantum computing its impossible to handle the amount of calculations necessary to handle long range forecasting. I’m sure we will get there one day, but that’s decades away. Heat island was in full effect this morning, icy car when I left Lynbrook for work at 5, almost feels warm in the city in comparison.

    It’s still early for us to be looking for snow. Though that early December period historically has had some good events. But up north is prime time. Hopefully this doesn’t turn into an early grinch storm
  16. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Excellent. We don’t need a 970 inland runner melting all the snow that fell up north. Great early start to the ski season. I’d be up but have work obligations.
  17. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Exactly, If It was September different story. The broad nature of the system means slow strengthening at best. This is a cat 1. Tops

    The dead trees will not be an issue for a couple years until they start to rot. We actually need the rain again. The growing season is still in full swing here on the uws and I have plants dying do to lack of water again but can’t bring myself to water
  19. LongBeachSurfFreak
    60mph is right on the cusp of causing issues on the south shore. It’s really when you get Above 70mph. There are so few trees left. I think this ends up being more run of the mill 40/50mph gusts type deal.
  20. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Absolutely one of the most boring runs of weather we have ever seen. Hopefully just a fluke and not a sign of a 01/02 style winter incoming .
  21. LongBeachSurfFreak
    It’s always been a risky place to host a World Cup event so early despite their excellent snow making. Think where else in the world your racing at 3500-2000’, it’s usually at least 6,000’+. What is worrying me about this winter is the drought coming back. We are back in that low precip pattern again. And seeing 01/02 used as an analog isn’t very comforting. .
  22. LongBeachSurfFreak
    While most of this is correct it’s more like .75% of the words fresh water. 75% would be Antarctica. Looks like the early ski season is going to suck. We need a flip late month. We can have a cold snowy winter and Europe a warm winter. .
  23. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Long Island is about to get smoked. Good drought busting rains .
  24. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Perfect cat 4 micro cane based on current satellite .

    I have an extensive tropical garden here on campus on the uws and everything is fine. I’m talking actual tropical plants too. I was a little worried the low dews and wind might bother them but we should go deep into November before I dig them up and pot them and give them out to professors for their offices over the winter. I’ll call it adopt a plant. .
