SnowGoose69 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 GGEM gets no respect, no respect at all - Rodney Dangerfield It can't win, UKMET/Euro generally outperform it beyond 48 and the RGEM is way better inside of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UlsterCountySnowZ Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 GGEM usually picks up storms before the euro or GFS, then loses them inside the 4-6 day range and become useless after that... Happened with the blizzard this year, and many storms last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEG NAO Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 18Z GFS keeps the precip offshore for the most part next week - but the run trys to develop a second system - precip fields showing green in NJ with the 540 line down in the Carolinas looks weird - I don't think the GFS knows what to do with all the energy running around - lets see what the GEFS says in a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyWx Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Beautiful day out. Wish I was at a mountain snow boarding right now. These warm sun afternoons are the best I agree, beautiful weather. Between the sun getting higher and it staying lighter out, you can tell Spring is nearing. I'm thinking Ole' Phil might be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we avoid any real cold, I can definitely enjoy some more snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjay Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Storm thread adjusted to cover an active period which could end in joy or heartbreak. 3 threats. Threat one looks like possible white rain for the coast. Threat two looks ots. The third one looks somewhat promising but it's still 6-7 days out.

Ericjcrash Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hopefully DSNY has a better strategy now lol I live in the area that everyone whined over, it wasn't bad. Any other sanitation department in the country would have done far worse IMO. Unlike the majority of the country cars are lined up on both sides of the street and 30" of snow isn't exactly your usual event. Yeah a group of people may complain because their block is in the armpit of the city and overall irrelevant but given the impact of this blizzard I think it was cleaned up exceptionally well.

The media overblew that story. The parts of Queens that weren't plowed were hit with BECS snow amounts of 28"-34" and some of those streets are so narrow that a plow can not fit. How does anyone expect the streets to be cleaned when a plow could not fit? This was a BECS for Queens. People think it was just a normal snowstorm.

WaPo Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Compared to Boxing Day, I did not hear the same amount of complaining about DSNY following the Blizzard of 2016. From what I understand, DSNY did a serviceable job given the snow totals during a historic weekend blizzard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a different thing, while full sized garbage truck and spreader size plows may not fit, the DSNY has normal sized pickups fixed with plows for those blocks. However this immense amount of snow probbably renders them inferior. IMO all of the cars parked on the street are really the problem, when streets are plowed the drivable width of the street is significantly narrowed.

The mayor and DSNY tried to roll out a new strategy for plowing the outer boroughs that they have not previously tested out. They stated this several time in post blizzard press conferences and interviews. That's where they went wrong. Granted, it was a lot of snow as stated by some people above but there's no reason why a specific area of Queens and the Bronx didn't get plowed but the rest of those boroughs did. You can't blame that on the fact we got 30" of snow. A blizzard like that wasn't the best time to roll out a new method of plowing streets in different orders.

"Sectoring" was used last year as well so thats not the problem. Having lived on a "tertiary " street in a quiet neighborhood in queens my whole life, the old method of hitting primary roads first then secondary and so on was worse. 96 and boxing day saw my block be impassible for days. Even moderate 6-12" events saw days pass before plows. People complain too much . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
