Very close to January 2016 out this way, we had 32 inches of snow on 3.00" of liquid

bad measurements + urban heat island is much worse in March

Nice I was going to ask about this. Did JFK get a similar amount of liquid? I'm amused that JFK got more snow than NYC in both March 1993 and February 1994 (second storm) even though both were changeover storms.

whats causing the degradation?

Yes, it reminds me of February 1989.....

it sounds like the perfect climate lol

the dryness is a continuation of what was established last fall.

it's been happening for the last 3 years though, this thing has a cycle that we haven't identified yet. Maybe AMO related.

honestly, it's far more historic for them, let them enjoy it, it would be just a moderate snowstorm up here anyway

Tom Niziol calls it the Gulf of America multiple times lol https://x.com/TomNiziol/status/1881678135307260370

that's correct and it will continue through next spring and summer.

they are just as foolish when they go out for a swim in the middle of a hurricane.

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.
