2 foot plus bombs are one thing, that 500mb setup is another.

Mmmm yes it is. 96' is a rarity hence it being in the number 2 slot on NESIS for almost 20 years now. Yea we've had 30" bombs the past 10 years but no where near as wide spread and massive as 96' both surface and at 500mb. 2003 tried to wage a fight over it but even that one fell short. 2010 was a beast but was localized, 2013 was LI/ SNE special and that didnt even come close. However, i believe it was 2010 where a LP crushed DC and we didnt see a flake, if that would've made the turn it could've given a run for its money

What really caused the 93' SuperStorm? I was too young to even remember it (7).

 

The 500mb charts are "off the charts" so to speak, but why haven't we seen anything even remotely close to that since?

Perhaps you can get an idea of why from this:

Gorgeous +PNA ridge.  Incredible dig to the trough into the Gulf in the east. The reason we switched to ice is probably because of the High pressure in Canada being a tad too north and west or maybe a tad too weak. Can't even imagine what type of snow totals New Jersey would have had if there was no changeover and a low like that tracked just a bit east inside the benchmark.PSU1400.pngreanal_1993031400.gif

The ridge axis was west of where we want to see it for a major snow event here. The ridge axis for us should be near Boise, ID

I was just thinking that in another week or so we'll really be turning the corner from Winter. This time of year seems to always go fast with Valentines Day and pitchers and catchers reporting. Then President's Day and all out Spring Training. March madness, the NHL and NBA playoffs, then baseball, Easter and before you know it, we'll be discussing the weather for Memorial Day.

We may be turning the corner but we often turn that corner with a huge bang from Old Man Winter. These next two weeks are historically incredibly favorable for a major storm and given how this winter has gone so far, I still expect a MECS type storm.

A Triple Phase of the Arctic Vort, Pacific Vort and Sub-Tropical Vort. While we had a -AO, Neutral NAO and +PNA.

My favorite event this winter had to be the wet snow bomb on Monday. How it pretty much came together in 48 hrs and the fact we where so warm the day before. I love the look of mash potatoes all over the place. It also help that the majority of this sub form was in the bullseye

After seeing the 00z GFS I decided that staying up for the Euro wasn't worth being tired today at work for. Not to mention that we're still six days away from anything.

Havent looked at a model today yet. Just browsing here to see whats up with the sunday/ monday storm. Ill look monday/ tuesday to see if i should be enthusiastic about the storm late next week
