JFK has cracked the 10" mark with the last two storms, February is the first 10 inch snowfall month here in at least 3 years.
This is a C- winter even if we get 0 snow for the rest of the season.
Clippers are named for the location they come from, and this did not come from Canada
Also the "super clippers" that create east coast blizzards redevelop along the coast and become noreasters. The original clipper dies out and creates a Miller B. The last one we had was in January 2005. The Millenium storm of December 2000 was also one of these.
wow 6 inches really? I'm at the same latitude as they are, 5 miles to the east and nothing on the roads at any point during the storm but it looks really good on the trees, rooftops and driveway and sidewalks.
I think this is what February 1991 was like but over a somewhat larger area.... look that one up. NYC got 9" in it and 0 snow in Philly and Boston lol, no snow west of Newark here.... near JFK we got close to a foot, and it was all a very wet snow and it snowed for 30 to 36 hours straight, most of what fell during the day didn't accumulate (temps of 33-34) but at night it really went to town with temps in the upper 20s, it was a stalled low on a cold front just SE of the Hamptons and the entire snowfall corridor was from Newark to Long Island.
The original forecast was just for some mixed rain and snow showers ending in the morning with the passing cold front.
Yeah I knew that mix line had to be somewhere close, it's been a very wet snow here all night, nothing accumulated on the roads at all, but it looks really nice on the trees, wires, cartops and rooftops as well as driveways.
wow looks like those heaviest rates stayed just south of Long Island. Can you extend it that map a bit further to the east, Fozz? I'm on the upper right side
