A scientist friend of mine told me if the West is really serious about stopping fires they just need to remove the trees and brush and pave everything over with concrete (he was joking-- sort of.) It's going to happen one day as our population grows we'll have more and larger cities and the fuel for these fires will be chopped away and removed (for better or for worse.) Good morning Liberty. Water restriction during a drought, in the cities of the future, may still have brush fire concerns. Stay well and hydrated,.

Just so you know, there's a few good forecasters who are optimistic about next winter; let's just say, they think it could be something between 1986-87 and 2014-15, this is dependent on a weak el nino for next winter. Don't lose all hope. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANDA Posted Friday at 02:55 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:55 PM 15 hours ago, donsutherland1 said: It will be cooler tomorrow through the weekend. However, it will turn noticeably milder early next week. Parts of the region could experience their warmest temperatures so far this spring. The unseasonably mild weather could then continue through the remainder of next week. The risk of a moderate (4" or more) or larger snowfall in the New York City area remains low through at least the first half of March. The March 10-17 period could feature a bout of much above normal temperatures. The strong PNA ridge that predominated for most of the second half of February has now broken down. However, the peak magnitude of that previous PNA ridge suggests that the New York City area likely won't experience any major snowfalls for the remainder of the 2024-2025 snow season. The historic experience hints that the rising warmth of spring becomes too great to overcome by the time an otherwise favorable pattern for such snowfalls develops. The PNA reached +1.500 on February 19th and remained at or above +1.500 through February 23rd and at or above +1.000 through February 28th. In all 12 years that saw the PNA reach +1.500 or above on February 15 or later since 1950, the remainder of winter saw no 10" or greater snowstorms. If historic experience holds true yet again, that would make the 2024-2025 snow season the fourth consecutive snow season without a 10" or above snowstorm in New York City. The last time that happened was during 2016-2017 through 2019-2020. Most of the 12 cases cited above went on to see some additional measurable snowfall with a few seeing a 6"+ storm. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +1.1°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.2°C for the week centered around February 26. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.35°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.52°C. La Niña conditions will likely give way to neutral ENSO conditions during early spring. The SOI was +1.15 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +1.700 today. Don- Where is CP in terms of 6" snowfalls? I know they are working on a longest streak without 4" which will most likely be broken in late November this year I think? What about longest streak without 6"? Where do they stand on that one? Thanks in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SACRUS Posted Friday at 03:01 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:01 PM 42 / 15 and gusts to 35. Aside from a brief cooler day Sat, overall warmer the next week and looking mostly dry until next Friday and weekend period. Warmest days Tue / Wed (3/11-12). Potential to turn a bit more wetter after mid month but still looking overall warm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow depths averaged 60 inches following the storm. Up to four feet of snow fell around Boston MA, and snow drifts 25 feet high were reported around Dorchester MA. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel) 1932 - A severe coastal storm set barometric pressure records from Virginia to New England. Block Island RI reported a barometric pressure reading of 28.20 inches. (David Ludlum) 1947: On March 7, 1947, not long after the end of World War II and years before Sputnik ushered in the space age, a group of soldiers and scientists in the New Mexico desert saw something new and wonderful in this grainy black-and-white-photos - the first pictures of Earth as seen from an altitude greater than 100 miles in space. 1970: Last near-total eclipse of the sun in Washington, DC, in this century. Sun was 95% eclipsed. A total eclipse passed over NASA's Wallops Station (now Wallops Flight Facility) on the coast of Virginia. 1987 - Forty-five cities in the north central and northeastern U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date. Huron SD hit 80 degrees, and Pickstown SD reached 81 degrees. Rochester MN and Rockford IL smashed their previous record for the date by sixteen degrees. (The National Weather Summary) 1988 - High winds along a sharp cold front ushered snow and arctic cold into the Central Rocky Mountain Region and the Northern Plains. Snowfall totals in Utah ranged up to sixteen inches at Brighton. Winds gusted to 66 mph at Rapid City SD. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1989 - Blustery northwest winds ushered arctic cold into eastern U.S. Burlington VT reported a record low of 14 degrees below zero. Snow and ice over the Carolinas replaced the 80 degree weather of the previous day. High winds and heavy surf caused five million dollars damage along the North Carolina coast. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1990 - A major ice storm left much of Iowa under a thick coat of ice. It was the worst ice storm in at least twenty-five years for Iowa, perhaps the worst of the century. Up to two inches of ice coated much of western and central Iowa, with three inches reported in Crawford County and Carroll County. As much as five inches of ice was reported on some electrical lines. The ice downed 78 towers in a 17-mile stretch of a high voltage feeder near Boone costing three electric utilities fifteen million dollars. Damage to trees was incredible, and clean-up costs alone ran into the millions. Total damage from the storm was more than fifty million dollars. (Storm Data) 1997: The worst was finally over for states hit hard by the flooding Ohio River. The river crested on the 6th at Louisville, Kentucky, 15 feet above flood stage, after topping out at nearly 13 feet at Cincinnati, Ohio, and more than 7 feet at Huntington, West Virginia. 2018: A teacher was struck by lightning outside an Ocean County, New Jersey middle school during a rare weather phenomenon known as thundersnow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there needs to be a solution that involves desalinating the water from the Pacific and bringing it in to keep these moist. I remember seeing that in some of the 3D models. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Belk from NWS Boston live on TWC right now talking about this winter said this winter the snowfall was 3x the last two winters so not that bad at 28 inches only slightly below normal (according to him). He said it was still a somewhat snowy winter although the wind was a bigger concern than the snow this season. They asked him how rare it is not to get even one noreaster in a season and he said he would have to look into that and get back to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get it down to what it was 20+ years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their recent 49” 1991-2020 average is significantly inflated from their crazy winters like 2014-15 but even with their longer term low to mid-40s average it’s pretty significantly below normal. But they got snow from SWFEs that happen in almost all Nina winters where we just had the one decent event. All in all should’ve been so much better given the cold. Glad it’s over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picard Posted Friday at 04:01 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:01 PM A couple of points: There's a good conversation to be had around prescribed burns, especially because a percentage of the brush in this area is invasive. But that takes planning, political will, competence, and funding. And at least 3 out of 4 of those things (you decide), are in short supply. I do fear an LA-like event is possible here, especially in areas like Morris County where it is simultaneously still heavily forested and heavily populated. Adjacent to the point above - do any good data sets exist that track average winds over time? It just seems to me that there are more clear day extreme wind events than before, and last night/today is no exception. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they are working in a longest streak without 4" which will most likely be broken in late November this year I think? What about longest streak without 6"? Where do they stand on that one? Thanks in advance. NYC is still far from its record: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal through March 5th is 41.0". Boston is more than 30% below normal. I wouldn't describe its current snowfall as being "slightly below normal." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see how this plays out as we move through next Winter. We will make it to #4 for sure by the end of this coming November so #3 could be in play without too much trouble. The #1 position is interesting, would not have guessed that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a horrible design, how about moisture damage to the structure? And if that soil gets water logged from rain, the weight would be absolutely enormous. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, 1995-96 was the least windy winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
