It's easier to look at average snowfall, warmer climate means more moisture and volatility. The 90s was a perfect example of this. 2 above average snowfall winters and a higher decade average than the 70s or 80s. I mean the other years of the 90s outside of the below average 92/93 were absolutely putrid for snowfall and STILL highest snowfall decade. Think about this year the cold did not help us much.
-
All we need it approx 21 inches next year to be in perfect alignment with the 80s WRT snowfall. Just a little more to align with the 70s and 90s.
-
Yeah but you have to think that in great snow years you can get a benchmark track 2 to 3 times a month. Other years nothing.
-
I bet the fast pac had an influence in our bad snow years in the past.
-
I would suggest taking it up in the NE forum. However think about how much territory surrounds the benchmark track. 15% actually seems high.
-
I can't disagree with them as they have been correct on almost everything so far. Thinking about it though it HAS to be correct. For 30 freaking years we had almost no snow lol. 2000 through 2018 we had a bonanza but that is half of the duldrum period. Also think about how much space there is outside of the benchmark track.
-
Also the NE forum had a great point, non-benchmark tracks are approx 85% of our normal storm track. So even taking the fast pac out it's hard to get a heavy snow event here.
-
Just have to wait until the fast pac slows down. Hopefully next year.

Had 11.5 on the superstorm before the sleet and rain. 16 in February 1983
-
Up here the coastline was affected and at the end of the storm we ended up with 6 inches of heavy wet snow. Massive storm.
-
Correct only 12.6 inches of snow accumulated for Central Park before receiving 11.9 from the superstorm. Even with the superstorm Central Park was below average for snowfall.
-
Thanks, so Central Park is 3.9 inches behind the 80s average. 20 inches next season would put Central Park in alignment with the 80s average. I honestly thought my town was going to challenge 95/96 in 13/14. I was sitting at 58 inches and the models had a 16 inch event within 4 days and two more systems in line afterwards. Of course that's when DC stole the snow and we went cold and dry.
-
I THINK NYC is at 10.6 inches this year. If so, this decade (15.38) is 4.36 inches behind the 80s average (19.74). However this deficit can be erased with a 22.5 inch season next year. I still find it incredible that the 1990s had the highest average snowfall of the three low snowfall decades despite only having 2 above average snowfall seasons. Of course those two seasons were 75.6 and 53.4.
-
Especially for early and late season.
-
Your making this too easy lol.
-
I believe Raleigh, SE Virginia through the Delmarva were the hardest hit this winter.
-
16 this morning (cold).
-
Cold Winters such as this sometimes have a last gasp cold snap in March. Good for spring skiing at least.
-
Amazing winter down there even if this does not come to fruition. We just have to break out of this 1980s weather pattern, hopefully next year we will see.
-
No coincidence that the 1980s represented the last spike as we are replicating the cold dry warm wet pattern. Only 2.2 higher than the coldest that decade.
-
92 93 must have shot down the ranks after that historic March. Makes sense that we have two 1980s Winters in there as this year has mirrored the '80s weather pattern.
-
I think the big question for this month is whether or not we and up above or below average temps wise. Would be interesting to get all four months below average although this month is in serious Jeopardy.
-
No doubt it was a bust out here, however still ended up with a heavy snow event. The biggest bust was Philly which was forecast to get 8 to 12 and got 0.
-
I am so sick of cloudy damp cool April's.
-
Thanks as always Don for your work this winter. It's great to see that we finally had a meteorological winter with all three months below average. First cold winter in years. I do worry about the spring though as there are rumblings of an sswe, I don't remember the last time we had a truly hot April, I believe the last time we reached 80 was in April 2008?
