pazzo83 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'm curious why you post on a weather forum. People post on here because of their interest in weather... you dont seem to have any. You should be posting on an outdoor life board or something. Anomalous warmth isn't weather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazzo83 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 LMAO, all the restaurants around me are setting up their outdoor seating again. That had disappeared for approx one month. What a winter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEXtreme Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 was just checking out the monthly highs/lows in alaska for barrow and fairbanks, my god it has been brutal up there. Barely a break from -30 and colder, with many times at -40 and fairbanks dipped to -51. Just brutal. http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/01/30/bitter-cold-records-broken-in-alaska-all-time-coldest-record-nearly-broken-but-murphys-law-intervenes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian5671 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 what a joke the pattern change is--upton has nothing below 40 for the next week. Hey if it ain't going to snow, bring on the 60's. I'm out at Vail-nice out here-but less snow here than usual-the torch knows no boundaries this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian5671 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 The latest gfs finally shows more of a -NAO pattern in the long range, which I haven't seen as of yet. It's always shopwing something in the long range-reality is, it never pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BxEngine Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 lol I did.. as hard as it is to believe... but I spent a lot of time as a kid in Florida since all my grandparents lived there.. It must have gone to my head lol...I honestly wasnt asking because of your hatred of cold, lol....I was doing some reminiscing when I went to get my haircut about Nanuet, the mall, Mr Arcade, and that sorta stuff....I cant really find any good pictures of the interior of the mall in the 80s/early 90s. I do remember playing king of the mountain in the parking lot during the winter of 93-94 though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pamela Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I think most of the NYC metro area will see close to normal seasonal snowfall by the time May 1, 2012 arrives...it doesn't take a hell of a lot to get there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be 50-60F and rain/dry for nearly the entire winter season, but all you need is a couple of days and a major snowstorm and we hit our average or even go above it.

Snowshack Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I'm officially in love with Winter 2011-2012, that is all. I just fail to see how cold weather is enjoyable, especially if it's not going to snow. Enduring snowpack, frozen ponds and lakes, daytime temperatures in the 20's with frigid feeling nights. Thats what winter should be! (albeit infrequent around here) This entire winter has felt like we've been stuck in November. Sorry for the whine. This is getting aggravating.

I hope you're right and agree there is still a chance. Right now it looks to be mid Feb on. Unfortunately were we to reach seasonal norms it sure won't be in a satisfying manner as winter will essentially be condensed to a two week spurt..

pazzo83 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 It's still in the upper 50s to near 60 in the city. This. Is. Crazy. I'm betting right now that the park doesn't drop below 50. It's sitting at 56 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundog Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 1 KU storm could do it. It could be 50-60F and rain/dry for nearly the entire winter season, but all you need is a couple of days and a major snowstorm and we hit our average or even go above it. Most of the area averages between 25 and 30 inches of snow. That would have to be one hell of a KU to bring us to average or dare I say go above it.

I bet one day we'll see a KU that gives us all 30"+, maybe even a monster 3' type storm that would make the Blizzard of 96 look like your ordinary run of the mill snowstorm.

SnoSki14 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 There were several chances for that to happen in February 2010. I think it did happen for our neighbors to the south. Some places got 3'+ I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think we'd probably need 2 major storms to bring us to average, unless we're looking at a historic 20+ incher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few ways for us to get to average. 1. One Major KU, 20-24"+ event 2. Two MECS 12-14" events 3. 4 SEC events, each about 6" 4. Several Nickel and dime events (2-4 3-5" type snows) 5. A couple nickel and dime events accompanied by at least a MECS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's going to have to be 1 or maybe 2 given that we are dealing with a pretty small window here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isotherm Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I think it's going to have to be 1 or maybe 2 given that we are dealing with a pretty small window here. I'd agree. This is not the type of pattern where we've got weeks of sustained cold and nickel & dime 3-6" snows piling up. The pattern for mid feb theoretically could produce 1 or 2 on his list (statistics argue strongly against #1 this winter). Then of course we still have the first couple weeks of March for something significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then of course we still have the first couple weeks of March for something significant. IF, and this is a big IF, the ECMWF is right with the block; and PNA ridge, the #1 (the HECS) can certainly happen just like 2006. I think that's what we all truly want, but I would GLADLY take #2 in this horrible season. It would be hilarious if we get #1 in a season like this, frankly.
