so halve the snowfall amounts like we do with the NAM.

Wait we had 2 late season snowfall events in 2020? I don't remember the one in late April, I thought that was a warm winter overall lol. In 2020 did the park and all the city airports get a T of snow in both late season events, Don? I don't remember the one in 2021 either, was that only for LGA or all the city airports and the park too, Don?

4-16-2014 was our latest freeze in a VERY long time, we might not have had a later freeze in my lifetime, can you check to see when we had a later freeze than that, Chris? And since LGA is the local hotspot, I'm sure the lows at JFK, NYC and EWR were all colder than 32!!

1 inch of snow in Brooklyn and 8-9 inches of snow in the southern Poconos just south of I-80? I don't think so lol. The actual written amounts might be right though, are they from the PNS?

It's become very rare now, but this happened three times in the 80s (82, 83, 86). April 1982 everyone who was alive then remembers, but we also had 1 inch of snow a week after that. April 1983 on the 19-20th we had 1-2 inches of snow April 1986 a T of snow on the 23rd Nothing in the 90s after April 10 (4/10/96 was the latest 4" at JFK) 2000s-- nothing after April 10th (April 7, 2003 4-8 inches, April 4, 2006 1 inch JFK). 2010s April 16, 2014 (1 inch), April 2 2018 (4-6 inches). 2020 Trace on May 9, 2020 So very few amounts of even a T after April 10th.

The big deal was this kind of weird late season cold/snowfall isn't supposed to be happening anymore, so this is likely a one in 20 year event we just saw. It's very rare to even get a T of snow after April 10th.

Finally. What was the cause of this weird out of season cold snap anyway, the final SSW? If so, why doesn't this happen every year since we get a final warming every year?

I guess it depends on where you're at, around here we've not had a freeze later than April 20th in my lifetime. Or one earlier than October 15th.

Don was LGA the only one of the city stations/local airports to record a Trace of snowfall today?

Really? I thought that storm was going to miss.

that 3.20 and that 0.08 (both in Nassau County) are off by a lot lol With that said, rainfall amounts dropped off a lot east of Nassau County. We got a little over an inch here. Do they have a similar product for snowfall?

dry and warm with the clearest blue skies I've ever seen, quite simply the ideal weather

it definitely looked like light snow last night in the streetlights

What year was that shocking dip when we never hit even 70 in April-- that really stands out. Looks like 2002 had the highest average high for April-- when we had that megaheatwave in April.

Right, some of the lower totals I saw were around 2 inches near I-80 in Lake Hopatcong, NJ. I wonder how much Mount Pocono has received?

and mid April at that lol. Not like this is a repeat of April 1982 or 2003 lol

anyone beating the 6.0 inches just reported at High Point, NJ ??

You're catching up!! High Point, NJ now 6.0 inches!!

Maybe not in February 2015 when it was cold enough to get freezing drizzle and snow showers on an onshore easterly flow in Montauk.

as long as the sun is out and we're not getting more windy rainy crap.

I just remember a lot more 90s in April occurring back in the late 70s (as you've shown with your data) and then of course we had 1991, 2002 and 2010. I think a few years ago we had back to back days in the 90s in April? Wasn't there some data posted showing that -NAO is becoming more common in April and May while +NAO is becoming more common during the winter?

was the entirety of May 2020 as cold as that weekend was when we got snow? I'm trying to remember other cold Mays.... May 1992? Sandwiched between two great summers! May 1992 had lows in the 30s and snow as close by as Morristown NJ. May 1977 (although we had 90s in April, earliest on record for JFK) and a hot summer with a record hot 2 week stretch in July. May 1977 had that snowy noreaster on the same day that we got snow in May 2020.

They want to move south until they realize how crappy the summers in Florida are lol. The 30 year norms also seem to give a perception that it's not warming as quickly as it actually is. I wonder how different the 1951-80 April norms are vs the 1991-2020 April norms.
