    Yes and it's also a stretch to use that as the reason for this year when the Deep South is seeing historic snowfalls. In that way it's similar to 72-73 and 01-02

    for NYC I think it's three 4" snowstorms a season, one 6" snowstorm a season and an 8" snowstorm every other season.

    Doesn't that 2.5 in NE PA stick out lol? Although that 2.0 near it makes it more legit.
  4. LibertyBell
    I doubt anyone at our latitude or north got more than 2.5 from this

    Right this is how I remember it in the 80s. The Januarys averaged in the 20s and Februarys averaged near 40 lol. 1989-90 was like that too but displaced earlier by a month..... December was extremely cold and the warmth came in for January, February and March. I think Don mentioned that December 1989 was Central Park's coldest month with less than 3.0 inches of snow.... was the same the case for JFK, Chris? I remember that JFK had a little more snowfall than Central Park did that month because we benefitted from clippers passing south of us.

    a couple of things about 1980s Januarys.... they were very cold and very dry. Februarys were much warmer. We had several subzero arctic outbreaks in the 1980s which we have lacked since then, beginning with Christmas Day 1980, January 1982, January 1984, January 1985 and who can forget the historically cold December 1989?

    it's always a factor of time too, after so many years, the odds stack up and eventually it happens. The same thing with diseases caused by certain unhealthy food too (and it's usually more than 10%, more like 30-50%.) My sister's doctor just told her to quit drinking diet soda (which she has been drinking for 20+ years).... he told her it may be the reason she now has stage 3A kidney disease. He told her to quit both diet soda and advil for this reason. This famous 30 year study bears him out. https://www.kidney.org/news-stories/say-no-to-diet-soda

    yup, the dry pattern had a few short breaks but never really went away.

    I have a different question.... granted CC is making our snowfall more extreme (either a lot or not much).... but how is CC causing all this abnormal snowfall way south where it doesn't normally ever snow? We had another year in this decade where Texas was completely frozen and there was widespread snow in the Deep South too. It can't be that our snowfall is going down but the snowfall in the Deep South is going up?

    Did the 80s have a lot of la nina type winters is that why December and January were much colder than February?
  11. LibertyBell
    We just barely missed out on averaging 30.0 inches over a 30 year period =\ it's close enough that the snowfall measurements at the park might have made up the difference had they been made on time and accurately.

    Thanks Walt, looks like 1.8-2.5 out that way while we got 0.5 here! I hope you're okay, Walt....
  13. LibertyBell
    agreed, just like yesterday! I hate rain and warm more than anything... well except rain and cold lol.
  14. LibertyBell
    Thanks, wow, the 1970s, 80s and 90s were amazingly..... consistent there lol

    about an inch in the Poconos? I see almost 2 inches in NW NJ
  16. LibertyBell
    Walt, what is that amount just SW of Mt Pocono? That annoying CoCoRaHS legend is blocking it, all I see is .8 .... is that 1.8?
  17. LibertyBell
    and this is exactly what happened, although we did get more here than we did in the Monday event. Lake Hopatcong got 1.7" which is the most I've found. We were close to an inch here.
  18. LibertyBell
    rats too?
  19. LibertyBell
    I have zero issues with the 90s because 2 years of 50+ inches of snow is more than enough
  20. LibertyBell
    Don't forget 1993-94 that was better than any season since 1977-78 and our first great snowfall season since then!
  21. LibertyBell
    If we use just decadal averages, the 70s and 80s were our least snowiest decades with the 80s averaging less than 20 inches of snow! If we use the least snowiest 10 year period, who comes in first? The period from 1983-84 through 1992-93?
  22. LibertyBell
    different storm? Maybe it was that one.... I just remember we hadnt had 6 inches in a long time and we had a storm that dumped close to 6 inches but then changed to rain, like many storms did in that time period. It snowed almost all day and then changed to rain when it got dark.
  23. LibertyBell
    The late 80s were similarly a snow drought like the current period, there was a 3 in 4 year stretch when JFK had less than 10 inches of snow, which has yet to be matched.
  24. LibertyBell
    I remember that 1991 storm well, it was our first storm in a long time that even approached 6 inches and it still changed to rain.
