    Probably because 1972-73 was much colder than this winter Don?

    It would be nice for NYC to hit a 30 year average of 30".... we were so close with the last 30 year average. When was the last time they had a 30 year average of 30"....a hundred years ago?

    It's interesting how the airport codes never seem to match up to the names. Whimsically, I wonder why the airport code wasn't XYZ instead....

    Yeah that's why I put the - after the C lol It's hard to give a winter a D when there are two snowfalls of 4 inches plus.... in the same week!
  5. LibertyBell
    lol notice the NYC measurements in those storms.... also, you should include the April storm, since it was part of the same pattern.
  6. LibertyBell
    it's definitely been melting here today with the strong sunshine

    Was it 1993 when the changes happened? I thought it was 2000, right when they stopped measuring temperature properly (because of bad siting.)

    So interesting we ended a historic 2010-11 winter with 70 degree warmth. In other news, it's the anniversary of PD2!

    the el nino was nowhere near as strong as 97-98, it was much closer to 57-58 and 72-73, which shows you can get either extreme-- very snowy or snowless what this proves and the truth is enso has very little influence on how much snow we get, the only thing that really matters is blocking (and it doesn't have to be nao blocking.)

    Measuring snowfall is more complicated than it seems at first glance.
  11. LibertyBell
    Yep and this has always been the case, before the last week of the previous month they're upper crap.

    It's interesting most of those seasons were very good, the ones which were below normal snowfall are a minority. How far back do the records from JFK go... I was shocked to see 1948-49 in there! Is there any record from there for the historic 1947-48 winter and the December 1947 HECS? That was NYC's biggest snowstorm of the 20th century! It's interesting 1982-83 isn't in there, as that was the only winter in the 80s that they exceeded 30" of snowfall.

    I'll give it a C- for the bad December and bad most of January.
  14. LibertyBell
    That definitely happened here, the roads had no snow on them but everything else had thick layers.
  15. LibertyBell
    Maybe, although JFK had less than Central Park in that winter.

    I find it intriguing when the pattern changes themselves follow patterns and happen during the same weeks each month. If that's the case we could have another colder stretch between March 13 and March 23.... and that could mean perhaps one or two more chances for snow?
  17. LibertyBell
    This may be the first time ever JFK will have more snowfall than Boston for the entire season lol.
  18. LibertyBell
    While I dont believe we will get anywhere close to seasonal averages, it's definitely MUCH better than last winter.
  19. LibertyBell
    wow JFK will beat Boston at this rate, has that ever happened before?
  20. LibertyBell
    I'm sure you were similarly ahead of NYC in 1986-87
  21. LibertyBell
    For comparison's sake, are both Boston and Philly also in double digits, Chris?
  22. LibertyBell
    We need something similar to what happened with the Tuesday storm.
  23. LibertyBell
    2006-07 started as the warmest winter on record though and only flipped in February That was a colder stretch but the really cold stretch started with 2002-03. we took a break from the cold in a few of those years. between that year and 2014-15 2006-07, 2007-08, 2011-12
  24. LibertyBell
    no just lots of blowing and drifting today, it doesn't matter much anyway it'll be gone in a few days either way.
  25. LibertyBell
    I guess it could also be compared to the late 80s / early 90s or late 90s too.
