My wife teachers there now. Two miles from where we lived on butterhill so I'm sure it was the same. Crazy storm but not even in my top 10.

LaGrangewx Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Those noaa depth maps are pretty inaccurate and last year we had no snow on the ground until 1-24 then missed the blizzard but had a great early February. This year just feels less wintry tho for some reason and up north ski country last year got hammered pretty good early season in November and December which did not happen this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just had the warmest December in history by 7 degrees. This past Decembers temperatures would not have qualified as a top 3 coldest October. The average temperature in December was within 2 degrees of the average April temperatures in these parts. And on and on, please God never again.

Kind of like 96/97 when the biggest storm of the winter was about 3" and then 17" the night of 4/1? Yeah we had effectively nothing during met winter and on the 1st of April it snowed for four hours and we got 17". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Went hiking in the dark this morning to catch sunrise at the river up in Esopus. The ice is making decent progress but I worry we'll start losing ground again with the impending AN period. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chietanen Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 It's officially snowing harder now than it did at any point last weekend, lol. This winter has been a total buzzkill for my skating rink. I wasn't even going to put it up because of the long range forecasts, but this would have been the first year with a net cost of $0 (minus $20 for filling), so I decided to anyways. I've had it up about 3 weeks it's been unusable at least half of the time. Last year, over a 10 week span, there was probably only 2 or 3 days that I couldn't use it.

PB GFI Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 This may end up becoming a good period for you guys . There is plenty of ridging on the EC . The MJO going into 4- 5 - 6 promote it . Also the PV will be sitting over HB so arctic air will be the dominant story between the 5th - 20 th The mean storm track will still up the EC . 1 of these will end up being a hugger .

gravitylover Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 50 miles SE would do it, we have 11 days to make it happen. See what you can do PB. In the meantime I think I'll enjoy saving some heating oil the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or something along those lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I've always thought that happens because the storm is vertically stacked and pulls the cold air down from the upper levels of the atmosphere. I hate the term generates its own... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember from way back it being a factor in the early 2000s when the older models like the NGM often were wrong with the pressure of the storm. I could be wrong though.Edit: Just found out from the met 101 section its from cooling due to vertical motion. So you were closer to begin with lol my bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chietanen Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I feel like I've been seeing a lot of posts about a cold shot coming later next week, but to me it looks more like a cool down to average temperatures. It looks like the brunt of the cold will unload over the plains and midwest, and then modify as it heads east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 ^^ Yeah but we only need 'cold enough' to get a decent storm in Feb. I really don't want another month like Feb last year.
