I will say this. If we get to january 15th with still NO snow for NYC ill be breaking out the punting unit. I wont be punting winter just yet BUT ill be thinking about.

Too early in the game right now but after the past few days it just doesnt look as promising IMO

You've been very upbeat recently. Some doubt creeping in now? I'm not really sure what to think at this point.

Hopefully snow88 can stop taking some cheap shots on this board as he has enough to worry about our in the field...a few days ago was uncalled for

Yes!....I have many friends who retired from the job and said they would never do it again in this day and age.

Be safe Ant.

Thanks Dan. It's tough to be a cop right now. I should have stayed in school and continue with my dream of becoming a physed teacher instead of quitting and becoming a police officer.

...with all this talk of a pattern change..( believe me..i trust what the big names say here..don s.,dt,earthlight,et al)

but until i hear it on the local tv outlets..( lee goldberg/jeff smith being most respected ) my expectations are held in check.

...still 10+ days to go..so its not on their 'radar' yet..but hopefully we start hearing little blurbs of whats ahead..

..wrote this 10 days ago..jeff smith had nothing to say..not even a whimper..

and now 10 days later its still 10 days away..BUT

the LC's.donald sutherland's,dt's,earthlight's say hang in there..its still coming.

The 2nd event in March 1984 was a close call...some snow did fall over the area...but much of the fury was to the north...at one point, snow was falling in the Litchfield Hills at a rate of 4 inches per hour. 

 North Shore of LI did ok on 3/28-30/1984.  6" at my location in [south] Syosset.  Some spots got close to 10" of snow and sleet.  You won't see that in the coop record because on par with usual, Setauket reported 2.5" while all around them had multiples of that.

 

Even ISP reported 6".  Do you have the dailies for BNL?

January 1982 was a great winter month around here...incredibly cold and pretty snowy...after that, the best winter month of 1981-82 was probably April...lol

 

January 23, 1982, Syosset, right around the time the snow (4" new) was changing to a cold rain:

Is the midweek weak system going to fook our chances at really changing the pattern? These models keep cnanging thier tunes regarding placement and strength . How can we be so sure whats going to happen mid january when we have no clue whats going to happen 7 days from now.

 

Exactly. I dont know why people are worrying about Jan 15th when we don't even know whats going to happen on Dec 28th

Don't forget the other gem winter of 2008

Oh yea that disaster. Well after last winter we knew the law of averages would come into play so then I guess a crappy winter is expected.

I would've been fine with that had it not been for all that hype of another cold and snowy winter. Not to mention basically all those October correlations and PDO connections meant nothing. So what if we had the top snow cover in October I guess it didn't matter.

P.S I'm just venting because of the frustration of this month and it's banter so no need to take anything seriously.
