It became one of our best home opener memories they still replay that game sometimes and of course it was a harbinger for a GREAT 1996 season!! Hey today's the anniversary of that game and that snowstorm!!
-
Yeah I don't know which way to go with those measurements, some may be too low, others may be too high. I could see it going either way. Also, over 440 people died in that storm in NYC alone so they likely weren't thinking too much about making proper measurements.
-
I definitely question some of these measurements for the March 1888 superblizzard. 21 inches in Central Park 26 inches in southern Brooklyn 35 inches in northern Queens 38 inches on the north shore of Long Island 44 inches on the south shore of CT
-
I wonder how the LE totals from the two storms would compare? Maybe 3" LE from the 1997 event but less than that from the 2018 event?
-
Maybe you'll get some snow with this next storm, Rob. I saw there were some lake effect streamers into the Poconos and the lower Hudson valley late last night too.
-
I hope we got to 32 in between hours.
-
Going back to the April Fools Day storm, did you measure it both ways back then too, Ray? Was there a difference? I think that was an even bigger storm for you than March 2018 was wasn't it?
-
Next week dry all week and sunny :-) Monday and Tuesday in the low 70s After that a little cooler but no one will care because it will be sunny. Temperatures don't really matter now, it's all about sunshine.
-
so if it was cold enough this would be the peak time for snowstorms.
-
Lowest temperature I was able to find in our area was 26 at Toms River. Even KFOK was at 31, no radiational cooling at all. Maybe well NW of us it's in the teens? Good news, looks like both Monday and Tuesday next week will be warm and sunny and in the lower 70s.
-
I agree with you, I only know a few people who clear a snowboard every 6 hours. Maybe the NWS just wanted everyone to use the same method so they told everyone to just measure the snow at the end of the storm (or just after it changes over in a mixed event) because they knew most wouldn't bother to measure every 6 hours and clear a board?
-
it's going to snow in the Poconos from this?
-
why doesn't this ever happen in the winter anymore and all snow ? and also, what happened to that strong pac jet ?
-
We could standardize it by simply using a sliding scale snowfall to liquid ratio depending on temperatures. It won't always be accurate but it will be consistent.
-
why can't we just adjust these storms with a sliding scale snow to liquid ratio based on temperatures during the storm? Chris, offhand do you have a list of the top 5 liquid equivalent all snow events? January 2016 must be number one, it was 3 inches LE at JFK.
-
January 1996 was also vastly underestimated, especially at NYC.
-
Hopefully JFK does too, I'd be extremely disappointed if they don't. Snow made it into the Poconos and Hudson Valley on lake effect streamers! I wonder if any accumulations were reported anywhere?
-
Let's celebrate the last freeze of the season! Pop some champagne at sunrise!
-
Wow, I love this sunset image. Have you ever seen pink snow? I have on two occasions-- January 2004 (sunrise) and February 2009 (sunset). Heavy falling snow turns pink through a sunrise or sunset.
-
Our best Arctic outbreaks that I can remember are: January 1977 Christmas 1980 January 1982 January 1984 January 1985* January 1994 February 2016 *this was our top Arctic outbreak
-
You live in a great radiational cooling area, I'm envious. We only get cold air here via CAA. Our temps closely match JFK.

Records:Highs:EWR: 88 (1991)NYC: 90 (1991)LGA: 89 (1991)JFK: 82 (1959)Lows:EWR: 23 (1982)NYC: 25 (1982)LGA : 25 (1982)JFK: 26 (1982) This was the earliest 90 on record before 2010. Is this the widest gap between record high and record low in the NYC record? I love this wide variance.
-
too bad no snow
-
I'm actually excited about it. I'm all about temperature extremes-- both high and low. It's rare now to get temperatures in the 20s this late. Lets see if we can get below 30, 32 is a lock.
-
Yankees home opener April 1996 was a classic and one of my favorites of all time! We had 4 inches of snow here.
