WintersGrasp Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I keep reminding myself that there was only really 1 or 2 model runs that even showed a big hit for our area ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermeh Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Wow. The GFS really builds an incredible ridge in the eastern Pacific in about 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian5671 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Because there's a storm brewing and models will shift north starting tonight, book it. great call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian5671 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Wow. The GFS really builds an incredible ridge in the eastern Pacific in about 3 days. at this point, who cares. Winter's done...the model has shown cold in the long range all winter and nothing has come other than a couple of one day cold shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isotherm Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 For the nth time this winter, I'm back in shorts and a t-shirt today. Sun actually feels warm. I'm surprised this winter isn't going to be the warmest on record, that's how incredible it's been. Just week after week of highs no lower than 45-50F and nighttime lows barely under freezing.

Ray has a thread about this-Central park is currently at #3 warmest of all time--with next week's torch, we could get to #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian5671 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Pretty much every model has it. and how has the cold and snow solutions worked out this year. I'll bank on the 3 month torch continuing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying it is going to be cold and snow. All I am saying is that it is a big ridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 As horrible as this winter has been, there's been winters that have been even worse. In fact there have been stretches of winters where it was horrible. Can you imagine living in the 80s where you were lucky to have anything greater than 6" in a storm? This is nothing. And surprised that there have been a few winters even warmer than this one. It'll probably stay #3 or lower in Central Park, it's not really going to be torching next week. It'll be above normal (upper 40s and50s) but nothing spectacularly warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmagan Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 The only suspense left is whether Central Park catches up with Seattle's snowfall for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be above normal (upper 40s and50s) but nothing spectacularly warm. Yeah. Luckily though, I think we're out of the climatic phase that favors prolonged stretches of horrible winters. Can't really complain - the past 12 years have overall been phenomenal for snowfall. Since 2000, I've only seen 3 below average snowfall winters (01-02, 06-07, 07-08) not including this one. The snow map I draw up for NJ is probably going to be pretty quick this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle W Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 twice NYC went four years without a 6" snowfall...1949-50-1952-53...1996-97 to 1999-00...Twice three years...1929-30 to 1931-32...1987-88 to 1989-90...The longest for a 10" storm...1983-84 to 1991-92...nine years...1969-70 to 1976-77...eight years...1879-80 to 1887-88...nine years...

SnoSki14 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I think a little south version of this storm is a fair comparison. Anyone have the upper air maps? Totals may be a bit lower than this one though and this storm will definitely be further south by a good 100-125 miles if not more especially with the northern extent with areas further to the southwest will pick up heavier totals.

tornadojay Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 every regional forum is pretty much committing a mass suicide all at one time.. it's pretty sad.
