The 4 Seasons

Seasonal snowfall updated to March 10th. Progression gif below for 3 updates. For SNE/CT/Tri-state and Northeast https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/24-25-seasonal-snowfall https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/24-25-snowfall-progression 24-25 Progression

Just finished the Season to date snowfall for SNE. Reports are from here, cocorahs, coop and the climo sites. I have CT only and Tri-state on the website if anyone's interested. I'll post the SNE one here. Ill probably do one more update because im sure the hills of MA/NJ/NY aren't completely done, it would be pretty rare if thats the case. Hopefully it is because id prefer not to update these for a couple more inches in some remote towns of NW Mass. https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/24-25-seasonal-snowfall 24-25 Progression

D. 18.7" I think it's hard to give any winter with <50% average snowfall anything higher than that. December was awful, most events under performed and we got zero warning events. Highest here was like 4.3". On the positive side it was very active with a lot of nickel and dime events, more like pennies. And there was a few week period with prolonged snowpack. Past 10 23-24: D- 22-23: F 21-22: D+ 20-21: B+ 19-20: F 18-19: D+ 17-18: B+ 16-17: B+ 15-16: C+ 14-15: A-

lol i think you said the same thing before when you asked me about Jan 22 like last year or the year before. It didn't sting like Jan 15 though, because we knew it was coming this time. Sucked but the forecast wasn't too off from what happened. I went W CT 6-12/12-20 E CT

Seasonal snowfall for those years: https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/seasonal-snowfall All the storms for each season just click on the season you want: https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/winter-storm-archive 19-20 was one of the worst winters of all time up there with 01-02. I ended up with 10.7" The big inland Dec storm only dropped 3.4" here and one 2-5" in Jan then it was done for the season. F. 20-21 was great. Dec KU. Feb KU and multiple storms with snowpack for the entire month. 21-22 was pretty bad save eastern CT. Jan was good thats about it. Jan had a night overperformer on Jan 7th and the storm i like to call "Jan 15 Lite" which is a smaller version of Jan 2015 with very similar snowfall distribution. https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/past-storms-21-22 22-23 was worse than 19-20. F. 23-24 bad but not as bad as 22-23. This season bad. The only good season we had was 20-21 in the 2020s.

Ill be doing an update this week to the Tri-State seasonal snowfall so if anyone has anything current/up-to-date let me know

The climo sites are really low <1" but id image it was between 1.5-2.5" for most of the state considering what snowfall totals were plus the addition of sleet, compacting, wet snow. BDL is suspiciously low compared to surrounding reports for snowfall. and BDR is kind of high and doesnt match their precip report at all. 15.5" with 0.59" liquid? yea thats obviously wrong. Sleet blew through the whole state and then we cooled off Monday night. you can look at the radar, sfc maps, and BDR obs here https://www.raymondcmartinjr.com/weather/2001/05-Mar-01.html

I think from start to finish it was like 60-65 hours. I got home from a ski trip in Vermont in the early morning and snow began around 10 or 11am i remember, light snow throughout the day. We got about 1-2" by dark or so, then the sleet fest began it was starting to look like a big bust. Sleet continued through the night and into the day on Monday. Shortly after sunset on Monday a huge slug of precip entered the state from the south and it was S/S+ for several hours through the evening into the overnight. After that pushed through it was spotty showery snow through the day on Tuesday as the low became vertically stacked, a few more inches of cold wind whipped snow. I remember going outside and measuring at midnight Tuesday night/wed AM with large dendrites falling as the last bands were pushing through. About 15" which measures up to the surround reports of 15.5" and 16". So from 10AM Sun to midnight Tues night/wed AM thats 62 hours. Most of the snow fell within a 12 hour period Monday night, a few inches on the front end and few on the back end on Tuesday.

im down with permanent Standard Time but not permanent DST.

I remember that very well. Mid afternoon and it was in the low to mid 20s in april flipping around from snow-sleet-freezing rain. There we two events back to back. I dunno about a half inch or an "ice storm" per se but there certainly was some freezing rain throughout the day and bitterly cold for April. Latest PNS i have has HVN at 0.23 Likely low maxes were broken during that 2-3 day period.

I remember the weenie meso band that just parked itself over LI all day before the coastal got going. I remember reading something about high salt nuclei attributed to that weird band

There is for some of the big ones! Go to Historic Storms section and you will see it. I will continue to add to that section over time. https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/historical-storms I also have radar, sfc maps,upper level etc for every event this season but it's behind a paywall for clients

drifting probably...theres also oddly placed higher totals in new canaan and weston

Snow/ice totals for the 15/16th storm. Reports are from here, cocorahs, COOP and climo sites. Had to add together 2-day totals from cocorahs so final totals are a bit higher than they appear in the NWS interactive snowfall map with an additional 1-5" falling in N and NW Mass. However, the analysis map they have does reflect the 2-day totals. Overall the SNE fx did pretty well, CT fell a bit short closer to the coast. *Note* The ranges are slightly different than the fx maps for continuity between maps and made more sense for drawing the contours

Updated for 12/13 mix event and 15/16 snow/ice storm

Fixed Tri-state map for climo sites

Can't argue with that

something wrong with you guys. Stop with the Nam.

Jfk is now 1" and lga is 0.6 lol they changed these numbers like 3 times I'll fix it

Ok deal. I'll give it until Thursday morning, then I'll start reconsidering

Find out who it is, where they live and go hunt em down and kill em.

Yikes. Starting to look like a clean whiff for everyone even the S coast.

I don't see how N Maine comes anywhere close to these numbers. Am i missing something here because it looks to be mostly over with reports of 6-9" and HRRR only has another 1-2 or so. Looks like a pretty bad bust
