CPcantmeasuresnow Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I'm guessing the consecutive days of snow cover will end at 13 tomorrow. It would be nice to have it begin again on Tuesday but maybe with less ice than the some of the models are showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmao, then I must add you to my ignore list. No but all jokes aside, I personally hate the meteorological standard.

Sure, but the sun angle at solar noon only drops another 0.2° between now and the solstice. Do you really think that 0.2° of sun elevation outweighs all the other signals telling us it's winter? That going skating beneath the Rockefeller tree is an autumn pastime? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just one of those technical people that likes it perfect. Just like the misconception that the solstice means that sunset is the earliest of the year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIK62 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 EURO WEEKLIES with regard to the WPO, EPO, AO, NAO indexes are -4sd at mid-Jan. on the Control, but the ensemble mean is so-so, near normal. As for the PNA the mean and the Control agree on the blahs. Fast jet stream destroying the Pacific Northwest ridge, would cause this I suppose.

NYC10023 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 tell you what... if this turns out to be another winter of torrential rainstorms followed by dry/frigid temperatures, I'm writing a letter of complaint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the HV 50 miles NNW of midtown and I always consider winter to be the last week of November until April fools day. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll get some Atlantic blocking that pairs well a few times with a so-so Pacific + climo to give us decent snows in January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only NW areas will get snow/ice, probably 30+ miles from the city. SNE should score. Ill take that bet. Anyone within 30 miles of nyc proper sees snow and ice, you finally adhere to your claim(s) that you wont attempt to guess whats coming in this “difficult pattern”. deal? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas, upon this day the sixteenth of December in the year of our Lord two thousand and nineteen, a tempest is inaugurated at this location; and, whereas, the elements being of such temper as to render water vapours coalesced into fine crystals; therefore, let it be known...

But can’t deal with this im relocating to upstate actually no, northern Maine Your going to have to go 2 hours north of the city for a nice snow storm with this one, 80s style. I do not think anyone wants a crippling ice storm or mid 30s and heavy rain that we going to see south of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
