I posted a list of the top 20 all-time on the February observation list. There are actually 68, 10 inch snow storms in New York City since they started keeping records in 1870. Sarcus was listing just a more current list.

There's actually 68, 10 inch or greater snowstorms in NYC since 1870. Did you cut off after a certain date?

I really can't recall either. I don't really look for them knowing what they technically mean, I can do without it. Like you I'm not a big fan of the wind. Give me 20 to 30 inches of snow with a calm wind and I'm good. I don't need the blizzard warning, like so many seem to need on the main thread, to justify a storm.

Blizzard warnings Orange and Putnam. Not a big fan of wind but I welcome 1/4 mile or less of visibility with open arms.

Blizzard warnings were just extended into Orange and Putnam county in NY.

I checked with three different AI programs, ChatGPT, perplexity, and Grok and two of three say official cause was natural causes. ChatGPT which I originally used without checking the others did have the suicide story but apparently that's incorrect. Should have known better than to trust one source.

Sure entertaining for his time but a tragic story. He took his own life at age 59 in 1983. I don't think he ever got over his firing which was inevitable considering his on air comment. As I remember it Roger grimsby just finished a horrible story about an underage girl being raped. The weather was next and Tex opened up the dialogue with "As Confuscious once said, if rape is inevitable sit back, relax and enjoy it" You could have heard a pin drop in the studio immediately afterward. He was fired the next day.

When I made the reservations all I could think of was how pissed I'll be if we have a repeat of March 7 2018 while we're away. Watching on the ring cameras isn't a substitute for being out in it.

I'm pretty much at the saturation point of model watching. I'm going to try my best to stay off the forums tomorrow and just enjoy what I'm hoping is an entertaining storm. My goal is beating Januarys 16+ anything less than 12 now I think I'd be a little bummed. Good luck to all.

One of the reasons I hate taking trips in the winter is for fear of missing something with this potential. Yet I'm gone this March 3-10 in Florida. I've been checking the weather for those dates here for the past week.

I'd be in therapy for years.

Just curious Don. How far back do Islip records go?

NWS seem to be on top of the conservancy for the January 25 and 26th measurements. This is gonna be a tougher storm to get accuracy. Hopefully they do the same.

That doesn't seem like that much for a 100 hour event.

Where do you place the bets? Any of the betting apps?

The way they measure in Central Park sometimes, not all the time, this could really be open to a lot of fraud accusations.

Either a possibility maybe both. Just have to hope they move on and you don't get stuck in either too long. .

The bands and the inevitable dry slot for someone. I noticed one right over eastern Orange County in one of the models last runs. Hopefully that doesn't verify but if it does hopefully short lived.

Starting to think everybody gets 10 inches plus all the way up to Kingston. Around and below 84 maybe 15-20 not out of the question.

I suppose I need to try and defend my title. NYC 19.8 LGA 19.4 ISP 24.5 JFK 21.0 EWR 19.6

I think 16 inches would be a fair 50-50 over under.

Only 53 inches plus needed for Central Park to catch 1995/96. Piece of cake.

That's the 10:1. You definitely need sleep.
