tornadojay Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 with this upcoming system on Friday.. the flow is so quick well up through Canada.. it's too bad there isn't more of a block. The 500 mb system doesn't actually close off until hour 111. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Wow, this thread really is showing the continued need to split NYC/LI from eastern PA at all costs necessary when it comes to winter storms. No offense to the NYC posters... but they do tend to not think of PHL (and vice versa with the PHL posters). So this isn't necessarily a bad suggestion... it would just spread the met wealth a bit thinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaner587 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 to be fair to both sides of the argument for an "MECS" drought...in the last decade we've had 2000-2001-1 millenium storm 2002-2003-1 PD II 2003-2004-1 dec 5 2004-2005-1 jan blizzard 2005-2006-1 feb blizzard 2008-2009-1 March SECS/MECS 2009-2010-3 speaks for itself 2010-2011-2 That means 3 winters featured no MECS and 8 out of the last 11 winters have at least featured 1 MECS...cant really say there has been much of a drought. The longest we went was 2006-2007 through 2007-2008 or 2 straight winters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover74 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 In the long range when it's just a 'threat' it makes sense to keep them together but I agree once the event gets closer and more of a liklihood it makes sense to split. I suggested it yesterday - break PHL/Eastern PA from the NYC folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, trust me when I lived on Long Island, I didn't give a rats arse about Allentown.....now living in SE PA, I don't really care how much snow is on the ground at Central Park, With that said, I still have lots of family on Long Island, so I do monitor storms closely to give them the low down. Otherwise, I'd care less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 08 it took until March and it was nothing like the past two seasons, we changed over to sleet after about 9 inches in my area. By multi year I meant (~3 seasons) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JERSEYSNOWROB Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I suggested it yesterday - break PHL/Eastern PA from the NYC folks.

Grothar Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Wow, this thread really is showing the continued need to split NYC/LI from eastern PA at all costs necessary when it comes to winter storms. From someone who has lived in both locations over the past 30 years, they are two completely different worlds weatherwise. Here's hoping both areas get a solid 5-10" snow on Friday. Right now it looks good for both areas. Thanks for your positive outlook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
