IsentropicLift Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 he's talking about this year not last year. 41 is his seasonal total this year with the 24 inch blizzard embedded in that. Christ, I'm sitting at 26" and 22 of that fell in the blizzard. Maybe with tonight's "event" Ill make it over the 30" mark. I'm about 18" below average with less than a month to go in realistic snow season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Rating a winter is completely relative to your location, not the winter itself... Most in jersey/NYCLong island would give it a B or A This will most likely go down as my worst experienced winter since I've been alive Barring a freak March storm I would give it a B minus but I understand why you would give it a failing grade. But it does seem quite par for the course for your area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including several 60+ seasons and 70" seasons....A lot of people seem to think we have been shafted up here, In terms of "blockbuster" blizzards of 18+" I'd agree.... But we 6-10" our way to above average seasonal totals almost every year.. This is the first year since 06 I won't reach 45+" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nassau county has been the sweet spot this winter. Last winter we were to far west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 This guy did a great ranking of the ridge which dominated our pattern for most of 2015 after March. According to his compilation, it was the strongest 500 mb ridge on record across for much of the US. Also notice the record trough over the North Atlantic which has been lowering the SST's and keeping the NAO/AO mostly positive. All his other fantastic charts are worth a look in the link below. http://us-climate.blogspot.com/2016/01/2015-reanalysis-climate-rankings.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjay Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 How can I possibly say 41" and a 24" blizzard is a stinker? A+ no but solid B. Back in the 80s people would give this an A Bc it is an A for our area. You had a 2' snowstorm, 40" plus season and you went below zero. What more could you want to give this an A for our particular area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormlover74 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Without the blizzard this winter would've been a D at best if we assume no more snow. An F if not for going below 0. The blizzard makes it around a C+ for me right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blizzard makes it around a C+ for me right nowIt would have been an D- without the blizzard. The only thing that would have brought it up from an F was going below zero here.Edit: looks like we said the same thing lol. I only read the first sentence.

An F if not for going below 0. The blizzard makes it around a C+ for me right now I'll agree with the c+ for now...cant rate a winter that well that had all three months above normal in temps with Dec by a ridiculous amount...Jan was about +0.6 degrees here and Feb should wind up with a pretty good plus departure with the mild ending now forecast. Great blizzard and below 0 cold for one day but not much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 If I had to rate this winter it would be a C-, maybe lower. No extended cold, no snowpack for more than a few days and that doesn't even qualify really because it wasn't snow on snow, one storm of note and the local ponds never froze enough to get out on at all. Now it's gonna finish with a bunch of rain so everything is just mud for the next few weeks. Useless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
