forkyfork Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Please post in banter thread. You threw this thread off with banter. thetrials made comparisons and i countered them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag3 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 thetrials made comparisons and i countered them No. You started it with incorrect info by saying he got more in boxing day. When it clearly shows 15" for him only. But either way, the Nesis map is way off for boxing day in 90% of queens as evidenced by official snow totals reported by LGA, JFK and confirmed by Fresh meadows, Astoria and Woodside spotters.

TheTrials Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 lol at snow total fights. Its my fault, I was messing with Anthony, an inside joke, and it got everyone all fired up. Anyway, great storm, a lot of us cashed in after we missed on boxing day, and the rest is history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ag3 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 the map i posted was made by the nj state climatologist And it's an incorrect map for most of Queens. Needs to be revised to correct the errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isotherm Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 you got more snow from boxing day God I love looking at this map. 25 gorgeous inches of snow in the middle of Monmouth County. 30+ to my SE. I watched helicopter rescues off of route 18, 2-3 days after the storm. Route 36 near Belmar snowed in for nearly a week. Biggest impact storm since 96, and arguably the most snow for a single storm on the Jersey Shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ericjcrash Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 AG3 and I were two of like 5 people up watching this storm at 2am when it was 5 inches an hour, easy. Beautiful band from just west of nyc, across ag3's house, up and over I-95 bliss. I was up at a house party, everyone kept asking me what the big deal was and why I kept looking at that radar and going outside, lol I told if they want to see some serious S**t they should come outside, everyone was amazed by how heavy it was snowing.

Isotherm Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Snow in the NYC area is just like fishing to me. If I caught a hundred fish every time I went fishing, then I would have no passion for it and no drive to "get them next time". Same as snow. If it snowed every day and was "too easy", there would be no excitement. Exactly, you appreciate something more when its taken away from you, can be said for virtually everything. However I'd imagine the amount of snow weenies falls of a cliff once south of Richmond, because it snows so little, it's difficult to get excited winter after winter.

I think if our area averaged around 50 inches we would be in the sweet spot where we can count on SOME snow to fall every year and satisfy our appetites but we would still need to track and hope for big storms like everyone else.

earthlight Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 To say that boxing day was a "distant third" all time to this storm/96 should be a punishable offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTrials Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 To say that boxing day was a "distant third" all time to this storm/96 should be a punishable offense. how do you rank any of your storms when they all magically give you three feet? Sorry bro, for many of us, 1/27 trumped Boxing Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooL Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 how do you rank any of your storms when they all magically give you three feet? Sorry bro, for many of us, 1/27 trumped Boxing Day. For the whole eastern half of New Jersey, not even close. We got atleast 10" more from boxing day, along with actual blizzard conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry bro, for many of us, 1/27 trumped Boxing Day. 1/27 definitely trumped Boxing Day back home. To be sure, Boxing Day was nuts in those areas that were hit by its core. But it wasn't an exceptionally large storm... in fact, it was rather small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle W Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 12/26/2010 was boxing day IV...I had at least 20" from that storm...I got around 16" from the 1/26 storm in two parts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherX Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 free world, but if you don't believe me, then you will have to not believe Brian, Joe, Jad, and a slew of others. But I digress. I measured 17" Josh......of course I wasn't doing strict guidelines or anything, but yeah I can see a higher localized total at your location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CooL Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Blizzard conditions so over rated, all it means is that its windy this is completely false. Wind, whiteout conditions, frigid temperatures, epic drifting, and it dropped more the 10" than 1/27. For the whole eastern half of NJ who got nailed by boxing day, 1/27 couldn't touch it. Obviously it's gonna be different for you, because you didn't get nailed like we did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTrials Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Yes, correct. Storm total no, i mean that was just from night. You told me you had between 4-5 in the morning, and then an additional 14-18 at night IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the radar images of the sleet. That pic was taken at 11 pm that night when everyone but eastern li went over to snow. There was a mega band over SW CT. It was all snow, trust me. I remember not being able to see more than 100 feet outside my window and took a screenshot of the radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen, we live in differnent areas, you like boxing, i like 1/27, in the end, we all got nailed. It was an epic winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
