powderfreak Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 We just remember the grinch events. 1995, 2002, 2009 were decidedly ungrinchy. 2004 also and 1993.2002 was one of those Christmas Days that I remember cherishing and full well knowing I would likely not see that again in my life.Just SW of ALB we had 26", ending early in the morning on the 26th...peaking at 3-6"/hr rates in the evening...Christmas dinner amid just pounding snow and significant amounts. Dream come true. Christmas Day Severe Nor'easter Wednesday into early Thursday Morning December 25-26, 2002 "The tremendous amount of snow produced by this classic winter storm is going down into the record books at Albany as being among the top ten largest dumps since records began in 1885. And the 19.2 inches of snow that fell on December 25 calendar day smashed the previous Christmas day record snow at Albany of 11.8 inches which fell in a large storm in 1978. Lighting and thunder occurred in the area of mixed precipitation as low pressure began rapidly intensifying along the coast. With the storm exploding east of New Jersey bands of exceptionally heavy snow began forming and rotating northwest away from the storm center through the area between 1:30pm and 9:00pm. The most intense snow band cranked snow out at five to six inches per hour during the late afternoon and evening over the Catskills and Mohawk valley during the late afternoon and evening. That band of blinding snow pivoted through the Capital Region during the evening and eventually ended up in western New England between 8:00 and 10:00pm. This storm, like most of the weather systems to affect the Northeast this season to date originated in the very active southern jet stream branch."

In fact it started as snow..and then pounded sleet mixed with occasional big globs of snow most of the day..and then finally later in the afternoon went over to heavy snow.

That was one incredible storm. My kids have never seen one like it and I hope this winter will be their turn to experience it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4 Seasons Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I remember that Christmas day storm like it was yesterday. It was awful down here, total disappointment. It rained all morning and early afternoon, then changed to a mix of sleet and rain in the afternoon before going to all snow after sunset. The snow fell fast and only for a few hours and ended not before just a few inches fell...mainly on grassy surfaces. Around an inch or two on the streets. The wonder and excitement that was Christmas passed by the time the change over occurred and no one around here really paid attention. I was jealous of the enormous totals just north and west of here, even New York City cashed in with around 10.0 inches I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 2 KUs, what are you predicting for the teles? I see an strong negative EPO signal and definitely a strong tendency for NAO blocking to especially set up in March. The STJ comes into play in Feb with some decent PNA weeks and some blocky days. Overall things look really good to me for the period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
