The 4 Seasons

Thanks, more to come. I don't remember 93-94 at all, even 95-96. I have a lot of nostalgia for 00-01 and 02-03 though.

Thanks, im going to do a long post in Oct or Nov going over all the new additions and changes. There is a ton of new stuff on the site including two new seasons, 10 new historic storms, new Lower Northeast maps and ERA5/ECMWF reanalysis maps...still working on it.

You fished your wish, 92-93 and 93-94 seasons are up

How they did it in Feb 2026 at PVD i do not know but they all continue that standard somehow even in the most windy blizzards with lots of drifting and blowing snow. This was pretty extensive published by the state climate extremes committee (SCEC) on the record https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/monitoring-content/extremes/scec/reports/20260331-Rhode-Island-24-Hour-Snowfall.pdf

Big update coming soon is adding ERA5 analysis GIF loops for SFC/P-type/Thickness for all storms in the winter storm archive. This will be a major addition to the site and will take several months to complete but some will be up shortly. Most likely these will be dark mode with a northeast and US view.

I recently did maps and updated the site for all these storms. March 1960, two Feb 1969 storms, Dec 1992, Apr 1983 and others. Just finished Boxing Day Dec 1947 snowstorm last night. https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/historic-storms

Closest screw job i can think of like that would be Feb 2021 or the 3 big storms of the 00-01 season, pretty brutal there.

he does. he has the book "Blizzard!" anyway, multiple more new snowstorms from the 1960s, 70s, 80s, and 90s have been added recently. Latest one was Mar 3-5, 1960, next im working on Feb 9-10th, 1969. i am working on more and will have a full update soon...for now every storm in the historic snowstorms archive has been updated with new maps. kinda sounds like dendie, though i dont think he actually really cares but just poking the bear. best of the best round here.

i know right, seasonal snowfall here in one storm. 44.7" in New Haven, 50 in Middletown. And considering the date im willing to bet most of these are probably snow depth or 24hr totals combined.

With the help of @Suchit0623 i have remapped the Blizzard of 1888 with 168 new snowfall reports from NWS COOP, climate sites and Judd Caplovich's book "Blizzard! The Great Storm of 1888." The general idea of the snowfall distribution is about the same but with significantly more reports i was able to really narrow down banding especially in CT along with the sharp cut off in E MA. The subsidence from the intense bands in central CT and LHV showed up nicely in a relative screw zone from SW Fairfield to Putnam/Dutchess where amounts dropped off from 40-50" to <20" in a narrow area. Reports were very thin in S NY and NJ unfortunately. Southern New England, Tri-State and CT maps are up as well. https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/mar-11-14-1888

This event was recently added to the NESIS list as a cat 2 w/snowfall map. Pretty sure they added in when they did Jan 2026, last i checked the most recent was Dec 2022.

yea i closed that gap of 36-48 from the last update on March 2nd. There was nothing under 48" from cocorahs stations but if you're right at 48 thats probably a min nearly statewide except for the cape/ACK

I wish there were some spotters in the upper elbow. It would help me know what to do there when there is a tight gradient. I rarely, if ever, see reports from Provincetown...

All the climate sites came in above normal but ISP had a crazy good winter with near 200% of normal snowfall, same with PVD (mostly from one storm) Long Island and the Cape/S. Coast did really well overall

Yeah i just added the 0.5 you gave me on March 3rd to the 79.6 you had on March 2nd. Same with Tolland. I was hoping the map would change significantly after the beginning of March but i guess not...not this year, another dead March.
