WeatherFox Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I don't understand Steve D and his 1-3 inches for NyC and northeast NJ. Just cloudy here..maybe a few flakes here tonight.' He would score a coup if his forecast verified. The radar looks deceptively interesting for NYC, but its mostly virga and light accumulating snow is more likely to fall east of the city in Suffolk County. Anyway, here's hoping!

We're gonna need some massive influence of Tropical Forcing from Phase 8 to 1 to save this winter. Considering there's still a -PDO and -Neutral ENSO, probably gonna be a long shot.

SnowGoose69 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Lol. Oh Steve d. Never change please. After Williams post, the 1980's did not seem that bad. Why all the crying? The 80s just lacked big storms overall, 83 and 87 were the biggest ones though eastern LI did have some bigger ones like 2/25/90 and the 12/88 event. No question though looking at the Westbury/BNL Data they did alot better than Central Park in the 80s or the guy measuring at Central Park back then was even worse than the one today and I think it was actually NWS employees measuring back then so unlikely.
