NorthShoreWx Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I posted some commentary in a pinned thread that probably belongs here (although it was prompted by a post in that thread), so here is a little more in an appropriate venue: http://www.erh.noaa.gov/okx/SnowClimo/Rankings.html Interesting list, but it seems clear that the stats aren't all accurate. I doubt Bridgeport gets more snow than Norwich, in no way does Setauket belong near the bottom of the list, and Dobbs Ferry should be near the bottom of the list.

NEG NAO Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 gfs looks real sloppy ….anything that forms with be pretty far east GFS is putting too much emphasis on the northern stream as usual leaving the coastal offshore low weak and wandering - if the Euro holds firm tonight watch the GFS start playing catch up starting saturday 0Z at the latest......

I doubt Bridgeport gets more snow than Norwich, in no way does Setauket belong near the bottom of the list, and Dobbs Ferry should be near the bottom of the list. Setauket should be right up there with upton. I assume it's low do to the data set being biased to a less snowy period as the Obs station no longer exists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongBeachSurfFreak Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 the real history of the mafia is much better than the fiction movies made about them...I have been reading the history of the mafia over the last three years or so...I went to school with guys who became made men...One was killed 20 years ago...they were not the brightest bulbs on the Christmas tree...the making of the godfather almost didn't happen... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvCiNd1Mm0M Very cool an being a Brooklyn guy of the right time period I'm sure you did! The real story of the mafia is definitely tops but I can't lie I have seen Goodfellas 100 times and I'll watch it 100 more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyLovesSnow Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I remember this jewel from a few years ago... Oh._My._God1.JPG thats hilarious. We got upton on our side at least, they had only rain for NYC forecast just yesterday.... Today they have a mix of rain and snow. A chance of rain low of 32.

West Point, NY Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 How did that 4-6 inches work out for you last week when they were on your side. That was a better setup than this next one.... High 42.....get the plows ready now! The chance of a White Christmas in NYC is historically around 20 percent. When this blessed event occurs, you will still be 15 days ahead of that time frame. Give it up dude. Unless you have a legit arctic air mass in place, a high still centered west of Montreal, and a perfect storm track, you will not see a big snowstorm in NYC this time of year........No matter how hard you wish. East wind/warm ocean= No Chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthShoreWx Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Setauket should be right up there with upton. I assume it's low do to the data set being biased to a less snowy period as the Obs station no longer exists Setauket / Strongs Neck has a very ;long period of observation, but from looking at the record, it seems like the observer didn't like to go out in the snow. The numbers are just low for a lot of seasons because snowfalls were either not measured, or not reported, or measured days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Welp, the "2014 Hudson Valley Weather Calendar" hanging on my wall says "Storm off coast (close)" on December 8 and 9. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYY_2 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 just curious as to what everyones idea is when the term "inland" is used and where does "inland" begin in everyone's opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover74 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 just curious as to what everyones idea is when the term "inland" is used and where does "inland" begin in everyone's opinion I'd say at least 20-25 miles of the coast, basically the places that saw 4" or more in last week's storm. But it is a very vague term. Just inland could mean anyone not right on the coast. Well inland could mean hundreds of miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
