January 1977. Miami also had snow.

After Sandy we had our largest early snowstorm on record on November 7th. 8.5 inches of a very wet heavy snow here. Nemo wasn't much back this way, it rained for half the storm lol

Cantore was taking about Lake Pontchartrain effect snow.

I think so yes, but the airports have not hit 10" since March 1993 either.

March 2009 was the closest one to 10" here, parts of Long Island had up to 16" March 2018 was heaviest over Central Long Island, Farmingdale had close to 20"

March 1993 would have been 20" + with a benchmark track. Newark got 17" in that one if I remember correctly and the 10" line got all the way out to Oceanside (JFK had 12".)

Yep, people go skiing there and then go surfing down at the sea in the same day lol.

too bad Cantore is in Houston, although he did say that Galveston should have a blizzard warning too-- it's snowing there and gusting to 50 consistently!!

Thanks for the list! Didn't we have an April 6" snowstorm just a few years ago-- 2018, I think it was? And a November 6" snowstorm in 2018 too (the following season.)

and the one we had changed to rain

Records: Highs: EWR: 62 (2006) NYC: 63 (2006) LGA: 64 (2006) JKF: 61 (2006) Lows: EWR: -8 (1985) NYC: -2 (1985) LGA: -3 (1985) JFK: -2 (1985) Historical: 1863 - A severe coastal storm dropped heavy rain on the Fredericksburg area of Virginia. It disrupted a Union Army offensive in an ill famed "mud march." (David Ludlum) 1963: Up to 3" of snow falls on San Francisco, their heaviest since 1887. 1982 - The second of two major snowstorms to hit southern Minnesota came to an end. Minneapolis received 20 inches of snow in 24 hours to break the previous record of 17 inches in 24 hours established just a few days earlier. A record 38 inches of snow covered the ground following the two storms, with drifts ten feet high. (David Ludlum) 1985 - Three days of snow squalls at Buffalo NY finally came to an end. The squalls, induced by relatively warm water in Lake Erie, produced 34 inches of snow at the International Airport, with up to 47 inches reported in the suburbs of Buffalo. The New York "blizzard of '85" left many counties disaster areas. (19th-21st) (Weather Channel) (Storm Data) President Reagan was sworn in for a second term in the coldest Inauguration Ceremony of record. Cold and wind resulted in wind chill readings as much as 30 degrees below zero. (Sandra and TI Richard Sanders - 1987) 1985: Jacksonville, Florida, recorded its all-time record low of 7 degrees. Macon, Georgia, had its coldest day ever with a temperature of 6 degrees. It was the coldest Inauguration day in history as President Reagan is sworn in for a second term during cold and winds that resulted in wind chill readings of 30 degrees below zero. Because of the bitter cold temperatures, many outdoor Inauguration events were canceled, and President Reagan was sworn in the Capitol Rotunda. wow 1985 was truly historic!

2000-01 was a low key good winter. Too bad March 2001 ended it on such a bad note, otherwise it would have been one of our all time best winters.

it means we should be getting one 6-8 inch snowstorm every year, but it seems to be the rarest type of snowstorm now, we either get 1-3 inches or 10+ it seems.

Nice, could you post the full 6 inch list too, I'd like to save it!

This is like December 1989 a month later (and not as cold) but the good thing is nothing as warm as JFM 1990 is on the horizon.

terrible luck would be if we missed a storm by 25 miles not 500+ miles lol

90 8.9 February 26-27, 1991 91 8.8 January 13-14. 1939 92 8.8 November 24-25, 1938 93 8.6 March 5, 1981 94 8.6 January 10-12, 1954 95 8.5 April 1, 1924 96 8.5 February 12, 1897 97 8.4 March 21, 2018 98 8.3 December 19-20, 1945 99 8.3 March 1-2, 2009 100 8.3 January 28-29 2022 101 8.1 January 22, 1987 Interesting list, that very weird storm from 1991 was a big positive bust ( we were only supposed to get a frontal passage) and as you can see January 1987 makes the list as well as a few others we know. Those two storms were the ONLY 8" snowstorms between February 1983 and March 1993 !

wow thanks for the list, I had no idea there was a specific list for 8 inch snowstorms.

I'm amazed there's a specific list for 8 inch snowstorms at all.

He has me blocked and I have no idea who he even is lol and never even interacted with him before.

Chris is this because the oceans are warming more quickly than the land, therefore the cold is going farther to the west now?

It's probably more rare than the Blizzard Warning Hawaii had a few years ago in March!

In the tweet, he said the climate has changed, but to what exactly? This isn't warming (it's not cooling either, this kind of thing happens every few decades.)

what about this morning? I didn't see the low at JFK

2010-11 was an extremely snowy winter, but I guess not for them.
