That's especially true when I was reminded of that fact about every minute. It was essentially spiking the football and then running over to pick up the football to spike it again. One thing to post every hour or so to update snowfall totals. But it was a five minute process of "it's puking snow", "it's still puking snow", wait "oh, it's still puking snow".

I don't know if you're new here, but you should go back and look at some of the older big storm threads where C NJ, NYC and LI got rocked and you'll find the same thing, except obviously with different posters. Nobody was trying to smear our good fortune in your face, however we should be allowed to post observations as we see fit. And from what I understand, you still received some snow, which makes you come across as even bigger spoiled brat. Getting shafted is when you receive nothing and places 20 miles away get 2 feet. Been there, done that on too many occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there, done that on too many occasions. I don't have the time or inclination to get into an extended back and forth on this. While everyone has a right to post observations, it's one thing to do it in a way to make it plainly obvious that it is spiking the football. If you were being hit hard at 11:00, do you think anyone needed an update an 11:05? I've been on this board for a while, most of the time just reading. If people in this area did the same thing while you got nothing, then they were wrong too. And that's all I have to say about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's not like the big totals were relegated to some obscure corner of Orange County. The Western half of the sub forum saw a major storm, and this is no different from the recent storms that jackpotted Long Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 There's literally nothing more unfathomable to me than jealousy or bitterness over someone else's good fortune, especially when it's the weather. Your ex falling happily in love again, sure. Rich people cruising around town in Lambos while you slave away in the coal mine, OK, fine. But snow? Snow?!

Obviously January 5-6, 1996 is in that group. Many others have come close, but usually shaft either DC or Boston, including January 2016. Actually January 22-24, 2016 is probably the closest we've come since, unless someone else remembers better than I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admittedly was starting to get bitter because storm after storm would slam the coast with feet of snow while the best I could hope for was a few inches, but as you've said, the coast was the place to be for most of the last fifteen, almost twenty years! I cringe to think of the meltdowns on this board if we truly had a snowless Winter like was common in the 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a long-term decline due to warming temperatures in a climate already marginal for snow. There is some degree of luck, too.

Obviously they benefit tremendously from strong blocking, but you also need a deep arctic intrusion. Both of which have been lacking in recent years, especially at the same time.

Rates like that are the one type of snow extreme that I haven't seen yet. https://www.wunderground.com/blog/24hourprof/unprecedented-radar-reflectivities-and-snowfall-rates.html On the other hand, I've never heard of snowfall rates as high as 8 inches per hour that were sustained for two hours. The rarity of the reported snowfall rates seemed to fit the rarity of the radar data for this event. I think the radar reflectivities for snow were so large that the hydrometeorclassification algorithm, a utility of dual-polarization radars, simply failed in this case.
