a tornado just offshore too
-
the only negative was it happened at night
-
there's plenty of snowcover on the south shore in shady areas though.
-
Summer 1993 and Winter 1993-94 were some of the most historically important temperature measurements ever there, as it was historically hot and then historically cold.
-
yes, and very little snow in Alaska too....including the panhandle, where it usually snows A LOT
-
I think there's a possibility that JFK or one of the other airports gets a 4" storm while NYC does not.
-
what's causing the storm to speed up, Don-- I thought it wouldn't reach the east coast before the weekend?
-
haha well that sucks, but at least we had the driest month of all time last October, can't get less than 0 rainfall lol. -
then that record dry month won't be set because of the last day..... what happened to that arctic blast that was supposed to be here for two days and keep any rain out of the area until Saturday?
-
when does this thing start?
-
what did JFK end with that season and how much did they have in March, Chris?
-
wow January 2023 really stands out... 29 was the low for the entire winter or just for January?
-
How close is the total snowfall comparison between this year and 2011-12, Chris? I know JFK had about 1.5" in October and they also had a minor event in March if I remember correctly, 2-4"?
-
it's why Suffolk County is closer to a coastal New England type of climate.
-
To be fair, a lot of the differences between this season and 2011-12 can be shaved off by removing the October rare snow event (which is why ISP is close.)
-
as long as it happens after January 31st so the new January record can be set, sure.
-
1-3 inch storms can happen in any kind of pattern.
-
for the upcoming week, Don, does it look like the storm will begin on Friday instead of Saturday? In this case, the record driest January record may not be set.
-
30 inches of snow near Boston seem extremely unlikely
-
With how extremely cold it was back then, DC area snowfalls were probably much higher lol. I don't know of a great southeast winter from the 80s outside of December 1989 and you really do not want that analog lol (although there was a very minor snow event in April 1990, after JFM all torched!)
-
Thats the one. 5-8 inches of snow followed by a 3-5 here. Either side of the solstice. First 6 inch snow event in years too.
-
1983-84 la nina after el nino, extremely cold in December and January, snowfall was moderately low (better than this year though) and there was a March snow event in March 1984. February 1984 was pretty warm too.
-
Look up the snowfall season of 1991-92 and the two snows we had in late March that season.
-
Yes, the pattern would have to set itself up in the second half of February. We'd likely need two of those kinds of storms, one in each month. Doesn't seem likely. The only March I remember getting two decent snowstorms while the rest of the winter was snowless was 1991-92 when there were two March snowstorms of 4-6 inches around the solstice while the rest of the winter was nearly snowless.

Interesting correlations here. So when NYC gets 4" of snow, PHL gets 4" 49% of the time but BOS gets it 64% of the time. When BOS gets 4 inches of snow, NYC gets it 42% of the time but PHL only 26% of the time. When PHL gets 4" of snow NYC gets it 67% of the time but BOS also gets it 54% of the time. This shows that all three have somewhat distinct climates from each other. If we compare PHL to BWI and DCA, I think we'll see a stronger correlation there than with PHL and NYC.
