donsutherland1 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Remember it like it was yesterday. Back then I used to listen to WINS 1010. The Metreoligist came on and said very menacingly" folks this is not an April fools joke.. a life thretening Blizzard is heading up the east coast and is taking direct aim on New York'' Dr. Joe Sobel and Dr. Joel Myers (he was still on the air at the time) did a terrific job on 1010 WINS.

PB GFI Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Paul, do you know if WXbell is processing those maps correctly? Every snowstorm has been too far SE for us with much lower parallel snowfall totals than the OP for each snowstorm. It had about half as much snowfall for the blizzard and other storms than the Op runs did. If that is really the new model and not a wxbell processing error it will be bad news. I am not sure how that particular file comes over . It`s their new model , so they must like it`s skill score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle W Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Exactly. For anyone that remembers that storm it snowed throughout the daylight hours, and the so called sun angle had a zero effect anywhere including the roads. I had tickets for the Yankees home opener that day. The season I believe was delayed three days. I hit 12 degrees on April 7th with over a foot of fresh powder on the ground, I think the city hit 19 that morning. And it was powder, the temperature was in the low to mid 20's throughout the event. the next day the high temp was 30 in NYC with clear blue skies...there was another inch a few days later...

snowman19 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 The schtick has become tired and old and it's really enough. We had snow accumulate during the day last year on March 28th with only a marginal airmass. I don't care if it's in banter what he is doing is trollingAre you above the age of 12?

One of the reasosn I got interested in weather at such a young age At the time, 1010 allowed more time for the forecasts. Today's compressed format leads to much less interesting forecasts, even as Dr. Joe Sobel can sometimes be heard on air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the depth of the cold with that one and that was the first time I remember experiencing thundersnow. In one of my meteorology classes at Nassau Community College a few years later the professor posited that those thunderstorms lifted the cloud tops and they were able to warm significantly creating better vertical velocities thereby increasing snowfall rates and holding the cold in closer to the ground for longer in the downwelling section of the storm.

A late season blizzard and greater than 95-96 snowfall season are the only NYC snowfall records that we haven't seen in the 2000's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Beast on the 12z GFS. A few hours of light snow/mix to start on Tuesday night. Then light to moderate rain on Wednesday before the deluge Thursday morning. 1-3" of rain region wide with 3"+ for New England. 988mb passes overhead.

But we have seen two of the most wonderful early season rockin' and rollin' storms I have ever seen. The onethat shut down Halloween was awesome.

bluewave Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 But we have seen two of the most wonderful early season rockin' and rollin' storms I have ever seen. The onethat shut down Halloween was awesome. We have been on quite a roll since 2000. 12 out of the last 16 winters have featured either near or above normal seasonal snowfall in NYC. The only 4 duds were 01-02, 06-07, 07-08, and 11-12. So if you just cut and pasted that forecast every winter you would be batting 750. People would have forgiven you for missing those 4 winters with below normal snowfall. So it payed to have a snowy bias since 2000. But not so much for the previous 15 winters.

Hailstorm Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 You know that the long-range forecast progs (including the 2/25 storm) just got much worse than 24 hours ago when 90% of today's posts are in the banter thread.

Lol there's 28 gfs runs, and 14 euro runs left it's being posted in banter, because well...
