Wow! Very interesting. You are an excellent teacher, Kyle. I know very little about the weather, but I have learned a lot lurking on the accuweather forum. This was a very informative video. Well done.
That was definetly a main factor, Kyle. I am surprised, however, that the models nor the pros picked up on this piece. Even GS thought the heavy snow would be more wide spread. But if you are a snow loving new yorker, this is the track you want. I think another piece to what the high does, is slow down the storm and increase the period for which heavy snow falls. The high definetly effects the track and duration of a storm system. This storm was quick a mover that stalled for a while because of the upper level low trailing it, but for the most part only lasted 12 hours for most regions, excluding NYC.
I agree Josh. If you look at the great blizzards of last year, and the 1996 one, they all featured that high sitting north of NY State, VT, and NH. And that's what happens, as you said. The storms can only come so far north before they can't move along any further and attack the high. When that happens, they stall. Hence, the perfect storm for the Mid-Atlantic corridor from D.C. to Philly and the piedmont regions of VA, MD, and PA.
