CooL Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 To be honest, I think you got more than 30", I mean, I saw the radar loop again, just absolutely epic pounding for Summit-Springfield-Westfield areas. ehh, just imagine if there was no wind and everything stuck where it landed and no drifting..That is a ton of roof space and extra snow that got blow down on dec 2010. Even if the same happened during jan 1996, it doesnt take away from the fact that all that snow had to go somewhere. Still a KU, tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Looks like a parting gift from winter tonight on Mt. Zucker, have had some flakes mixing in from time to time...a few mangled ones just splattered on my driveway. HPN at 41/35 so I can't imagine this will last long, and it's certainly been mostly a rain event, but still very cool for late April. Definitely will be the last of wintry precipitation we see until November barring a freak event like May 10, 1977. Interestingly, the latest accumulating snowfall in modern times here in Dobbs Ferry took place on tomorrow's date...a few tenths accumulated on 4/24/1967 in what was certainly an unusual late winter/spring.

Wow, that's quite the achievement! I thought the closest any snowflakes got to us was Central PA and Upstate NY lol. Maybe this would have been a more memorable event had it taken a classic benchmark track. Everytime you bring up 1967 and 1996 it makes me sad because it makes me wonder what kind of winter we would have had with a weak la nina.....

IsentropicLift Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Just wow at some of these projected rain totals in the Ohio river Valley. Keep in mind most rivers in the area are already running at moderate to major flood stages. Some places on the Ohio river are now forecasted to get close to record stage.

CooL Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Barely anything for us on that map. Euro only had 1.5" of rain thru 10 days for our area on last nights 00z..Other than storms and fronts once or twice a week , the big rains have moved out. Bring on summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring on summer The new Euro is just coming out, and the NAM has been very dry for area for quite awhile. The GFS has 1.2" of rain alone for the next four days so there is a difference of opinion. The GEM is similar with between 25 and 30 mm. The low res SREF's are even wetter than the NAM which should be a red flag. In any event, my post was not about NYC metro which is why I put it into the banter thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind, precip totals will be much higher in areas that receive convection. Models can't pinpoint exactly who gets convection, and just smooth out precipitation areas.

MJW155 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 How do people down there celebrate Christmas with temps in the 60's and 70's Christmas down here is awesome. You haven't lived until you've sat poolside at midnight drinking a beer while kids are lighting sparklers. If I ever move back north, I would come down here for Christmas every year if I could.

Chalk it up to the new -NAO regime or whatever, but it's definitely become snowier around here the last few years. Hopefully it keeps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allsnow Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I hope this does not sound like a dumb question but with advance warning and tornado awareness being voice to the public why such a high loss in life down in the southeast? Seems like many took shelter and face a unfortunate outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like many took shelter and face a unfortunate outcome. honestly, in an EF4/EF5 massive tornado you can't do much. And there were atleast 10 of them combined. They rape basements... and one story i heard of is an old lady was sucked out of her basement while her husband had a heart attack trying to save her. So when you combine a EF5 tornado with a populated area you are going to get a ton of deaths no matter what.. I hope all of the people who died, atleast died trying by taking cover and not doing something stupid like getting in car or trying to take a video.
