And you know we are getting snow in April and a cold wet early spring when ATL side blocking finally does materialize it's also the SE ridge- the weather in the SE has been exceptionally warm. But to tell you the truth, I'm ready to pay someone a few billion dollars to do some geoengineering and evaporate half the Pacific Ocean ;-) It's filled with plastic trash anyway let's just put it out of its misery. To tell you the truth, I enjoy April snows so if we pulled off another 6+ snowfall in April I'd be happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least this year you can look to our north, west, and to some extent south and see wintry weather. We've had some years where it feels like winter is on hiatus nationally, that hasnt really been the case this year. Bad luck in a sense.. Boston's low total has been even more anomalous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPcantmeasuresnow Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Central Park recorded 1.2 inches of snow today. Central Park now needs 29.5 inches of snow between now and December 31, 2020 for the seasonal snowfall average to reach 30 inches in NYC when the next averages are recalculated again in Jan 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, thanks to this dud of a winter that may not happen. We basically need 29.5 between the rest of this month, March, and next December. I'm not going to include April or November in this although it can snow in those months too obviously. I'll be really angry if it snows in November again lol. *oops sorry I thought it was between now and the end of 2019 not 2020 haha. So we have one entire winter after this one to get there, plus the start of the next one. Considerably improves our chances, although if we keep the + NAO going we'll still have a tough time getting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a great place to live and raise a family. My advice, take a hard look. If you like fishing it's tough to beat. Saltwater isn't so great ( and that's true everywhere these days due to commercial overharvest )but freshwater is incredible. And there are plenty of clean lakes to do it in, and you can actually run a motorboat in them. The water is also clean in most places. Cost of living isn't great, taxes aren't great, and employment isn't so hot. It is the oldest state by age ( and it shows ) but if you are a recent college grad they are offering a sweet deal on helping with your loans, especially in STEM fields. There's never a summer haze either. Downside, I've been there on Memorial Day and it was too cold to do anything; most years are fine but it can be cold. And gnats; early summer they will eat you alive. Also, the state attracts a lot of people looking to go off the grid or just get away from something and sometimes encounters with these folks can be unpleasant. Had one follow me up and down an interstate for flipping him the bird one time. And, you can get lost, and stay lost, as in no one might ever find you. There's some genuine wilderness up there. Go out unprepared, you will pay the consequences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reaction functionality is useful for the most part (you don't have to quote 9 images just to say "thanks" anymore, though some people still do, inexplicably), although there are one or two who take it to extremes. I think the old rep system had a daily limit, and a fairly low one IIRC. Something like that would prevent waking up to 50 "confused" reacts from the same person every morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know more people that live in ME and the other snowy zones of New England because it snows a lot and has serious winter weather than otherwise. In fact ME or NH are high on our hit list for when we finally get to leave here. I'm torn between there and the middle Keys, terminally warm sounds appealing but rising sea levels may put the kibosh on that line of thinking.

NorthShoreWx Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Just for S's and G's, here is a collection of memorable quotes from the January discussion thread. no attempt was made to preserve context: CMC also has the makings of a HECS @ 240. There is no SE ridge Its coming, finally. 00Z Para GFS actually looks great. Euro looks a little better. Why cant we see a storm go west to east at our latitude? A piece of the PV is in Canada. Gefs is pretty nice for the NYC area. Para gfs has about a foot for NYC with over 20 inches for inland areas Good sign considering the ensembles are usually too dry this far out. Weeklies are great moving forward Long Island has a new "snow fighting strategy" they said they expect to deploy when the big surprise snowstorms strike later this winter. The pattern flip started today the MJO, will bite you in the bum Do we need more probes I heard weird musical sounds The substantial snow for nyc doesn’t come until tomorrow night I like the potential moving forward. Let's not get caught up in track details The NAM is on its way to producing a big low offshore It’s getting very hard now yup, going to be big It may be premature Usually the positive depth change map deflates weenies. Still doubt anyone sees over 1 inch I might have to give myself a timeout. Maybe this Sunday the snow will accumulate I hope there’s a way for someone with your skills to get paid Remember a week ago when people were panicking and declaring January over? Hopefully, no one was hurt. A dusting to a coating on all surfaces. I'll take a huge snowstorm over these dusting events any day This is going to be the biggest hit this year Yes, there's lots of potential on the EPS. Too many people staring at RMM plots when we have big time potential in the not too distance future. Next weekend is the real story. could've been a KU with a differently timed northern stream it feels like mid-January outside. I am North and West... but not enough. I've been a heat distribution theory fan for a long time We don't need a met for this discussion Non stop cold and snow NAM and Euro just dropped 12-18" cold powder There is a difference between a pattern that supports a storm and a pattern that doesn't. the 12Z run showed this weekend's storm as a monster. I currently have some snow flurries falling here. Starting to tick NW on guidance, to bad its ticking back from Bermuda. Winter is coming Does it look like the cold pattern will last all the way through February and into March? Anyone have the snowfall amounts from today's event? Is this a trick question? Personally I liked the 1995-96 winter a lot better. I often neglect to keep records because I figure there's no way I'll still be living Too much living and dying by every model run in here. I hope you're recording now at least, its never too late to start recording weather obs. I shouldn't have put gas in that new snowblower. The winter that keeps fooling everyone The question is, do we count Nov 15th I'll take the over. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
