gravitylover Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 It's snowing pretty good out there again, light but steady and accumulating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith O Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Just amazing how the Jersey shore and Long Island have jackpotted almost every single significant event for last several years. It is like the climatological west/east gradient has been reversed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like the climatological west/east gradient has been reversed. Storms are developing further off the coast than years past. Im convinced the baroclinic zone has been moved east by a good 100-200 miles. Never in my almost 40 years have I seen this much constant fringing while E LI has consistent major snows. There has got to be something at play here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyWx Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Good Morning Everyone Measured 4.5" of snow. Defnitely a surprise. I think a nice band set up over us and was able to just drop some heavy, big flakes. Here are some pictures from the storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I'm originally from the Lower Hudson Valley, lived there from 94-02. Is it just me or are these nonstop city/NJ/LI jackpots sort of new? I remember a lot of times rain/snow lines around the Tappan Zee Bridge or sometimes north of there. It feels like the Mid-Hudson Valley and the Catskills are just a perpetual screw zone recently. Am I just imagining this or is it real?

And before I lived in the LHV I lived in Queens, in the 80s and early 90s. During that time I remember (was only a kid) the TV mets always talking about highest accumulations north and west and it raining a lot more in the city.

gravitylover Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Today the windward side of the yard was 4.2" and the leeward side is 3.4". I think the other reason for the discrepancy is the general southerly aspect of that side so the ground was probably a hair warmer the first few hours of the storm. It compacted very quickly so I should probably call it at 3.5". I know the mush pile from the plow was silly heavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has got to be something at play here.. 1000% agree, this is much more than just random luck, Larger overall change is in play and the point of the baroclinic zone shift makes perfect sense.

IrishRob17 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 This can't be right... I had a spotty dusting, no rain here In no way is that map correct. I had nothing in the rain gauge and just a trace of snow. As for the screw zone, I think it runs back into central PA as well but we'd have to ask our friends out there if my assumption is correct. I was thinking the other day it would be interesting to map the snowfall along the east coast over the past six years to see where the screw zone sets up. Now I should note, last year I managed 60" and the year before 70", well above normal. In fact, five out of the six previous winters I've had above average snowfall IMBY so the 'screw zone' is a relative term IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'd like to see a map of the yearly snowfall anomalies (not sure if that's the correct term). As in how much above/below average a certain location is.

We are all running above our long term averages but its recently where we have seen a different dynamic with coastals. The gangsta algreek from the almighty queens says the "new" average for LI is 35-45". Going by his logic we are all above 55" now for averages..

White Gorilla Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Next week looks bleak for significant snow. Any other potential for us or just more screw zone sharp cutoff coast gets dumped on interior stays bare naked storms?

snywx Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Early next week looks like a long lgt snow event.. Im just happy the possibility exist for a wintry scene out there. Im pretty confident this year is gonna fall below average snowfall wise unless we can get a March 1888 redux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UlsterCountySnowZ Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Lmao @ GGEM, the 12z continues to say I have 2 inches of snow from today's event, added to Tuesday's "storm" would put me at 4".. In other words, I'll be lucky to see 2" next week, GFS is even less... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
