Guest Pamela Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 This winter is 93-94 except NYC is Philly, Philly is DC, DC is Raleigh, and Boston is like Bridgeport Moreover it was exactly that winter that was in my mind when I made this post an hour ago...it came to fruition multiple times...snow at Montauk while it was raining in Nassau County. Very noteworthy...as we are now in February and the ocean temperatures are bordering on inconsequential with regards to changing eastern areas to rain...in conjunction with a concave arctic anticyclone perched over eastern Canada...this might well be a case where the so called mix line is oriented ESE / WNW...and a place like the North Fork of Long Island could be snowing while a similar latitude in N. Jersey is in a freezing rain or sleet situation...as cold air is drawn in on the northeasterly circulation around the High from New England and the Canadian Maritimes...this setup is not common...but is a little more likely in late winter.

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 This winter is 93-94 except NYC is Philly, Philly is DC, DC is Raleigh, and Boston is like Bridgeport For sure I have been thinking the same thing (minus the blizzard) that was the ultimate ice winter on the south shore. This is just a little bit north Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGoose69 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 For sure I have been thinking the same thing (minus the blizzard) that was the ultimate ice winter on the south shore. This is just a little bit north There were some similarities last winter but really last winter was brutally cold in places like ATL and RDU, 93-94 was not, this winter to me had resembled it much more...86-87 isn't a bad analog either north of 38N as far as the turnaround goes but the El Niño failing to materialize has killed the turnaround south of there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pamela Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Philly with about 23 inches of snow in 1993-94...Atlantic City with about 8 inches...NYC in the mid-50's...LGA had practically 60 inches...Logan Airport in Boston was close to the century mark.

Many of those 50 inches were knocked down by the change to rain then flash frozen until Feb when we got some good snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pamela Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I think there is going to be a decent Miller A eventually this winter where everyone from DCA to Boston gets clocked, may very well be in March but I think it happens They had a great March south of 40 N last year...to have two in a row is probably rolling the dice once too often for a region that seldom sees more than a couple of inches post March 1st.

Guest Pamela Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Many of those 50 inches were knocked down by the change to rain then flash frozen until Feb when we got some good snow There were two little storms in December...bringing around 8 inches total...January was horribly frigid & wet with tons of ice...February was the snow month with 25 to 30 inches mostly concentrated in a weird two part setup at the start of the month...March was a little abnormally snowy but nothing crazy.

I do not remember December very well, but the rest is as you describe. At least the way I remember.

Winter201415 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 NAM-not accurate model 0z run shows basically a few flurries or showers but nothing. The north trend continues. It looks hideous! Onto the GFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Gorilla Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 December 93 was warm and snowless until the last 4-5 days when it turned on a dime I remember record warmth in November with many mets forecasting a mild first half of winter based on that Fall pattern. Needless to say, nature surprised many.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJO812 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 GFS has a big snowstorm in SNE and NNE. The overrunning just misses NYC to the north. NYC is dry until the storm on Monday. That's when the temps cool down and NYC sees snow and ice. Not a bad run at all. We still have time for a shift further to the south. The energy isn't sampled yet.

Zir0b Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Im guessing the GFS is bad since there's discussion of the 0z run!!! even further north than 18z....zero snow for NYC, still probably not the final solution but not really looking that great.
