CP I can count on your to give me a laugh in the morning before I start my day at work. Thank you

.....and I can count on your posts and scrolls to make me cry.  Thanks a lot.  It’s better when you don’t post anything.

I'm not very fond of this winter. Very cold but not much snow to show for it.

Yup. I'm getting tired of these nickel and dime events too Frank. Having a Nina without Atlantic blocking is the culprit. Maybe we get lucky later this month with a -NAO and a well timed shortwave. Other than that I'm already looking forward to next winter without that damn Nina.

It seems on this board you'll hear people say they like Nina and next they hate it. Goes for El Nino too. In the beginning of the year people were excited about having La Nina, stating that they hate and don't want anymore El Nino.

This board?  What the hell kind of comment is that Hector?What are you even talking about?  What people? In any ENSO state you will find situations where the state of the ENSO helps and hurts esp in extremes. It’s always the sum of all the moving parts. This board is where you find next to none of the BS you just posted. Take BS comments like this to another forum; Stir the pot somewhere else.

I can see his point, Scott, as I often find myself coming across people (not necessarily on this board, but in general) who are split on which, if either, or even both, is/are good/bad in a broadbrushed sense. Personally, I don't really have an opinion on it because I feel that both can be equally good and bad depending on their magnitude, characteristics, and what other factors are involved. It's a murky topic, and I have definitely seen the meteorological community split with respect to its opinion. I cannot speak for him, but I think this is more the direction he was headed with that comment, and not really trying to troll to talk smack on the board or it's members. But that's just me.

I have mentioned that I view President's Day (which is February 19th this year) as the time when the pattern becomes more favorable for snow. The basis for this is the shifting MJO and teleconnections, which currently look poised to enter the phases we would like them to be. If they come to fruition, I could see a backloaded winter in our midst. In fact, given the pattern, I have a feeling that around Saturday, February 24th, we will have a widespread 6"+ snowfall in the area. Of course, if these features don't come into place, then winter is in trouble.

Fingers crossed the key features come together.

I hope the NW and all interested parties get-together thing gains traction. I could use a nght out I would like to meet you all. I never do seem to make it to the annual get-togethers. Of course the evening would not be complete without raucous behavior, preferably AFTER CP’s dramatic reading. This has a great time written all over it.

Maybe I knee jerked but I’m still not sure. He’s on other forums. Historically he has chimed in at seemingly opportune times when tensions are up when patterns aren’t great. Passive aggressive comes to mind. The understanding of how a La Niña vs El Niño can both hurt and help in any given season when you look at what else is going on. vs the strength of the ENSO is always a topic of discussion every year. Every board has the back and forth. I didn’t like the “this board” thing.

For anyone that complains about periods of no large storms here Des Moines Iowa just broke a streak that was over 2 years long with no snowfall over 3 inches.

As I've stated many times the Midwest is a very boring spot, with certain exceptions near the lakes, for large snowfalls. Many seem to think the opposite but unless you've lived there you don't know. Snow Weenies are like many people they always seem to think it's better somewhere else.

Well for the next week it’ll be better somewhere else for me. I’ll trade you locations! You in?

"What the hell kind of comment is that?" I have no clue why in the hell your panties are in such a bunch, twist, knot, or whatever the hell you want to say it. Maybe others on this board tend to take the "high road" when spoken to like this, but I sure don't. What I stated was, I remember seeing, waaaay back in other years, saying they couldn't wait to get "blow torch" el nino's  done with and switch back to a Nina, to only see others say Nina isn't so good either. Others have explained it better as to why people go back and forth and not so eloquently as you put it. Take your trash attitude and PMS'ing somewhere else, to another board. If this gets me banned for a little, so be it. I mentioned "this board" because "this board" is the one I'm in and I saw it back in the ABC days too.

Well put, thanks for not jumping to assumptions. That's exactly where I was going. Good to know that it's just not myself but the meteorological community that goes, either way, depending on other meteorological events.

You wont get banned for this. Like I said I may have knee jerked a little. For that I apologize. I know your a member on AWE, or at least you were I'm not on that much anymore. Once the bickering starts back and forth during crappy patterns it becomes a mess to shut down. Sites like AWE get way out of hand sometimes. As an administrator on this board I take pride in the fact that we don't tolerate the childish nonsense that goes on in some of the other sites. For that reason I was a bit quick to jump the gun with your comments. I do have to admit you specifically haven't been a fire starter so again I apologize.

I would hate to be a school superintendent for NNJ for this one, unless you are in Sussex County, where some schools have already closed for tomorrow.

True to a degree. Morris County not a tough call either with snow and ice as well. Bergen County region here zoo is tough as is Rockland but Rockland will most likely call it IF the forecast holds. And what is a day - I can see if we had 2-3 days by now but we have one with 2 to go.
Just my experience. Northern Passaic County no brainer as well.
The calls for the rest will be in the morning. Hoping for the best but low expectations. No way can we a delayed - that would be absurd to go in at 9:30 when it will be coming down.

[Math23x7]

What I could see happen with this event: The snow happens after 7 AM, when there is no snow on the ground. It snows steadily for several hours in NYC, then the rain washes away all the snow by 1 PM, when the NWS snow measurements are in, after which the consevancy will measure 0" of snow, which we be the "official" snow total for NYC. I would go to CPK for this but unfortunately, I'll be at work in Midtown.

OH GOD I FREAKIN' HOPE NOT AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA CP WOULD GO POSTAL!!!!! LMFAOOOO "Breaking news this evening out of Central Park, as what appears to have been a crazed and fanatical weather hobbyist has allegedly acted upon a longstanding personal vendetta against the Central Park Conservancy for what he has claimed to be "the improper measurement of precipitation, mainly during the winter months and related to snowfall". Officials say a man known best by his online screen name CPCantmeasuresnow arrived on the scene at approximately 2:15 PM and asked for the personnel involved in precipitation measurement. Once directed to the proper persons, the man began swinging his three-foot metal ruler at them and screaming obscenities mixed with what witnesses say was what seemed like an instruction or to properly measure snowfall. He then proceeded to destroy the official measuring site and replace it with his ruler.

Have you considered applying for a Government position in OTI?

OT but anyone feel that sonic boom shortly after 6AM??

[CPcantmeasuresnow]

OT but anyone feel that sonic boom shortly after 6AM??

I did but I believe that was an earthquake. The first one I've ever experienced in my life., chalk one more thing off the bucket list.

A nice distraction from what looks to be a slop storm today and a crappy over all February. What a drastic change expectation wise for this month from a week ago. smh

Thanks CP - Nothing on USGS map as of yet, pretty wide spread, Westchester, Orange, Putnam - here it was loud, thats why i was leaning toward sonic boom... on the weather front, today will suck, but I'm still holding on to hope for another few weeks of winter to end the month...

Wow! I didn't hear this one.There was one in the early or mid 80's I heard when I lived on Mahwah,early in the AM.I was still in bed and it lasted maybe 5 or 10 seconds, a loud noise and a slight vibration.Very weird to say the least.

Long range crew, CP, still saying pattern will be better for all snow starting President's Day through mid March.Lot's of winter still left, we are right in the dead of winter now.Radar shows it's almost here, cloudy, calm, 20 degrees, Slop-o-rama about to begin.

Yup, thanks took a while to show up, i'm 3.2 miles west/nw of center

If I may, "Before police arrived, CP was seen with a groundhog perched precariously upon his hat, muttering an ode. Words were indistinguishable, but he did have a wild look in both eyes while handing out cards with www.njstrongweatherforum.com printed in Times New Roman font, point size of 10. Conservancy personnel trembled in fear under his gaze."

We are in dire need of a Director of Meteorology. You seem to have all of the qualifications. Plus you don't take things to seriously which is an OTI must.

Of course you have to apply for and pass the citizenship test first. Our Director of Immigration Taffy who administers the test has been AWOL for several months. I'm not sure who was filling in while she was gone. I think it was me?
