Does anyone remember the 1/08 bust? It was a Sunday night.

RN-->SN was forecast, I tjhink we were expecting 2-4" or 3-5". The R/S line never made it past Quakertown.

How to we avoid a similar bust? These RN-->SN types always make me nervous.

I was under a Heavy Snow Warning for 6-12 inches. I didn't even get a flake. That storm bombed out further north than anticpated.:axe:

Oh we got snow here in southern queens and southern nassau while everyone around us had rain lol. But we got just 1" of snow. What happened was we got in on some of the heavier precip rates for awhile and that changed us over to snow. But an inch of snow isnt even a moral victory lol. Still, it was funny looking at a p-type radar and seeing a circle of white while everyone around us was in the green lol.

Here is the storm.

I remember all the models had this storm giving the area a SECS. This wasn't an ideal setup. All the snow that we were supposed to get would have been from the storm bombing and pulling down cold air.

If anyone can see this- it's an article in Newsday..

How inaccurate can this article be.... It's unbelievable.... It's always blame La Nina or El Nino... It's just a joke.

especially considering a strong nina usually torches us

Its really the MJO and high latitude blocking thats helping us

convection in the PAC really helping to prop up a PNA ridge

Nice to see agreement in the long range on the evolution of the 500mb longwave pattern. The Euro is much more robust with the +PNA ridge than the GFS, still both solutions would keep the east in the icebox. Notice how there is blocking starting to develop in the atlantic on the GFS. Hopefully it retrogrades back to Greenland and sets up a dual blocking configuration. If that occurs, bank on a KU storm sometime in February. This is truly setting up to be a historic winter given the fact that La Nina's of this magnitude usually torch the East....

I was wondering how many poeple feel the same way I do about the fact that it seems the last few winters most of the most intense snow always seems to fall at night. I know there is a higher probability of this happening because of more hours of darkness but this occurrence seems too happen more than day vs night hours can explain. I get a real joy out of seeing heavy snowfall and have even resorted to mounting a floodlight just so I can better see the intensity of the snow at night. To me if it doesn't snow during the day I would just as soon just see a light to moderate snow. A heavy snow at night gives you all the aggrevations the next day without the joy of experiencing the heavy snowfall.

If someone knows how to post polls maybe one could be put in the main forum to see what peoples opinion is.

With this storm coming up, some areas are going to break 50 and 60 inches of snow.:drunk:

Time to beat 1995-1996 :thumbsup:

I never thought that record would be within reach.... until now. I was especially upset last year because we could have broken it if it wasnt for 2/6

I thought we had a chance last winter. If the area got hit with the Feb 5th storm and if the storm on Feb 26 was colder, the area would have passed it.
