uncle W Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 It's funny. People that get that animated about Boston getting more then them should seriously consider moving to a much more snow friendly region than DCA. But I think the bulk of the anger is that the -AO never materialized that was expected after the October signal. The El Nino was also too weak to help them much. But 40N and especially New England can do very well on a +AO pattern. Even Islip is having an amazing snowy period that began on 1-24. I thought the October -ao signal would mean a negative ao winter...Wrong...DC did well in March last year and it could happen again this year...

UlsterCountySnowZ Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Well for you yes , the Long Island guys are not . You may want to sit this one out and not sh%$^& on it for those guys . You're WAY too sensitive, one comment is certainly not Shi^#^*%# on it, and if by "it" your referring to the 1-3" potential then yes, I would concider harping over evey last model run for the next 2 days is beating a dead horse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UlsterCountySnowZ Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 There may be 2 to 4 on Long Island . Any snow on the coastal plain is good snow . My original point was not aimed at dismissing the event, but focusing on not awaiting every model run as if it were 48hr before a MECS. And bickering about what models show , run by run, with even a 2-4" event is just dumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Here is question I have to asked. This last snow event in parts of New England do call it a snowstorm or over running OES? To me this was not a snowstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doncat Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 if I was younger I would love to see four feet of snow...But the hassles that come with it is to much for me...I need a car to get around and it was a problem with only 10" on the ground...I can't shovel to much because my back will give out...I live in an apartment now and park on the street...what I want won't effect what will happen...I'm rolling with the punches...I want snow but don't want to be isolated... Yeah I agree...I also take care of my 100 year old father who lives about 3 miles from me and I worry about getting to him if need be....still I'm enjoying this winter...I like these moderate events and Im a big fan of the cold so I'm looking forward to the upcoming cold spell...temps have been well below normal since January and snowfall is above normal to date...good enough for me.

Brian5671 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Dca is such a bad spot for snow it is, but numerous seasonal predictions of epicosity gave everyone there (and everywhere) hope. That guy Cohen will never be believed again. And while the pattern has been epic in New England, nationally, it's been a fairly warm/tame winter. The cold has been largely confined to the Northeastern part of the country...models show it spreading south and west in time, but who knows if that will verify. Bust on the El Nino and -AO and -NAO. None of the holy 3 showed up thus the large scale bust outside of New England. (and even there, the 1st half of met winter largely sucked) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I thought the October -ao signal would mean a negative ao winter...Wrong...DC did well in March last year and it could happen again this year... The strong Pacific blocking and record December/January +PDO provided enough cold to do better in the snowfall department than we have usually done with such a persistent +AO pattern. UW's Jan 2015 PDO value is +2.45. This is the 2nd consecutive monthly record high in 115-year dataset http://jisao.washington.edu/pdo/PDO.latest If the Feb AO finishes positive, then here are the NYC snowfall totals for the years since 1950 with a +AO for Dec...Jan....Feb. Over 20" is already a big statistical win. 72-73....2.8" 74-75...13.1" 75-76...17.3" 88-89....8.1" 91-92...12.6" 92-93...24.5" 98-99...12.7" 99-00...16.3" 07-08....11.9" 14-15....NYC.....20.1"( low)......LGA....28.3"....so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the heat finally came around 9/1 no one cared it was over. Where I am at we had a hailstorm in May and that huge thunderstorm barrage that came in I think it was late June or early July. I do particularly enjoy a summer thunderstorm especially in the evening as long as it's not too severe or threatening to property and life. Nothing better than sitting on the porch listening to the rainfall and watching the sky light up with the flashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman19 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Hey guys, heard a rumor about a possible pattern breakdown at the end of February/start of March. Supposedly the pattern out west is showing signs of breaking down (+epo, +wpo, -pna/rna) and going into zonal and semifinal flow at that time. Given the total reluctance of the ao and nao to go negative at all this entire winter and given the time frame, end of this month, beginning of March, stronger sun, I'm assuming IF that happens, that's all she wrote, game over, fat lady singing for us? Since such a pattern would not likely just be a few days and would be stable and not want to just breakdown and go back into a blocking meridional flow?

Also, accuweather just updated and is saying March is going to be an above normal month for us and nothing like last year. Saw the video just before. They are calling for a breakdown of the pattern at the beginning of March and said the long range models are showing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it will breakdown at some point, whether we get a reload is questionable at this stage. However, several models such as the CFS2 and euro weekies suggest cold goes well into March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UlsterCountySnowZ Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Just my opinion but I really think having 3 storm threads open is a little much, if it's not within 168hrs it shouldn't have its own thread... That's why we have a February discussion thread, for possible events that far out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
