    JFK might beat those numbers, my house just shook with our latest wind gust, Walt!
  2. LibertyBell
    Wow, JFK hit -2 at three different points that morning, including as late as 9 AM! That 10 degree *high* from 7 PM to 10 PM would have really annoyed me lol, the real high was less than that, during the day. Do you know of the last time JFK officially had a low below zero and a high below 10? What was the lowest wind chill that morning with winds of 30 mph gusting to 40 mph and was that the lowest wind chill ever recorded at JFK? Thanks!

    That 1985 arctic outbreak was even more extreme than the one in 1994. Didn't NYC have this long streak without any 6" events during the 80s? It barely ended with a 6.2" event in the early 90s in March I think? But it was a mix storm and JFK's streak without 6" events continued... Chris do you know offhand what the longest streaks without a 6" storm were at both NYC and JFK?

    Just talking about January specifically.

    I wish we could get lake effect snow here off of West Hempstead Lake lol. What's the smallest lake that lake effect snow has been known to occur near?

    Do you have final totals for the Cape May to Atlantic City area? Thanks!

    2016 was the last time we had a megalopolis snowstorm, wow. 9 years ago.

    Walt it sounds like you feel it might be just a little too mild for significant snowfall for NYC, Long Island, etc, post January 20th?
  9. LibertyBell
    such a reminder of what Januarys in the 80s were like. `1. a little snow and ice on the ground, just enough to make you slip and fall. 2. temperatures below freezing all day. 3. very windy and extreme wind chills.
  10. LibertyBell
    I doubt anyone will be unhappy if we get 1-3, any snow is good snow.
  11. LibertyBell
    you got 3 sausages for this post for some odd reason.
  12. LibertyBell
    It seems like it snows more often in milder patterns than in colder patterns. For some reason snow is more likely when it's in the 50s a few days before and after a snowstorm, but when you have a week of temperatures in the 20s and low 30s then snow is much less likely. Go figure.

    as long as it's sunny and warm, not rainy and warm

    really no different than any of the other storms so far this winter. 4 inches might be a bit too high, but 1-3 inches sounds about right. It has the potential to be as good as our best December storm which dropped 3 inches here.
  15. LibertyBell
    It may not be final with more snow moving in with the ULL, Don.

    Somehow I see the same mistakes being made if that storm recurred in current times.

    Did January 1996 use today's measurement practices though? It was undermeasured.
  18. LibertyBell
    The Central Park measurer wasn't any good back then either.
  19. LibertyBell
    January 1996 was also undermeasured. I was in the same location for January 1996 and PD2 and PD2 was 26 inches at JFK, January 1996 was in no way shape or form only 22 inches. And February 1978 was in no way shape or form only 14 inches but that's a different story.

    does Santa Claus ever lie?
  22. LibertyBell
    I don't think a brush would be enough to remove that behemoth even if doing it every 6 hours!

    February 1921 if all snow would have been the most snow this area could possibly ever see in one storm. 17 inches of sleet as it was.
  24. LibertyBell
    But 1888 totals were far exceeded by the January 2016 mega blizzard, I have a hard time believing ANY storm would have exceeded the 30+ inches we got here in that storm, regardless of track. The 1993 storm was in and out in one day..... if any storm could have done it, it would have been the February 1921 storm that was like 17 inches of sleet over 3 days. Almost 5 inches of liquid which would have been like 50 inches of snow if all snow.

    Is it even possible for a triple phaser to take a benchmark track? I don't think it's ever happened. Up by Nova Scotia it's no problem, they get triple phasers every few years up there. 2004 had a really big one up that way.
