SnoSki14 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 We have major traffic and cancellation issues when it's 6" of snow can you imagine 4-5' of snow around here. I don't even think that's possible as the limit would probably be 36-40" with one storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthShoreWx Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Nippy afternoon here, but not close to 11/21/1987. Check out the afternoon temps at ISP: http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KISP/1987/11/21/DailyHistory.html?HideSpecis=1 That day was cloudy (not sunny like today). Some snizzle over LI, waterspouts reported on the sound...cool stuff as I remember it. Coldest air had passed by late afternoon / early evening. Not sure if there was significant LES that time. Wind direction may not have been as favorable over the lakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDMK6GLI Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Yea this why it's best to hold off on legit snow for a couple more weeks at least. climatologically its prudent to wait till middle to late December to get our first legit snow threat. however, next weeks cold shot if timed right can give us a snow chance, but only a chance right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a fake snow event ..hey ..it may not stick around the same as a non lake effect event but heck it is an epic snow fall for those who got over 5-6 ft of snow ... I agree. Also in regards to that, the areas that get the lake effect snow are so much colder than our areas anyway.....which would delay the melting. On average, those areas have snow on the ground much more than us. If we were just as cold as the lake areas and got as much precip as they do, but by way of noreasters, sure it would stick around longer. But....we don't !

After this historic snow event - temps saturday will be going above freezing approaching 50 in areas effected with rain for a couple of days and warmer temps for several days which will just add to the misery - because that will cause roof collapses and flooding http://kamala.cod.edu/ny/latest.fpus51.KBUF.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, climatologically speaking nino's are often far more severe from a cold and snow stand point january on than front loaded like some here expect. Also the blocking has not yet re-established itself which is a pretty important piece of the puzzle in hopes of breaking out the KU cookbook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDMK6GLI Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 That time period is consistently interesting. Must say the parallel GFS has been more consistent than the soon-to-be mothballed OP GFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
