it's hard to be excited about clippers, you can never rely on them
-
I forgot about 2010-11 that was another great winter that was amazing for a large part of the country, though not as good farther south as 2002-03 was.
-
and some high winds too the flurries only lasted a few minutes?
-
How much? and for how long lol
-
That's what was special about PD2 and 2002-03 was snowy right from December through April. A throwback winter just like 1995-96 (which from what I remember was also exceptional in the Midwest and East Coast. We all had a "return to winter" arctic shot in February that was historic.)

2002-03.... that's such an underrated winter that did well for a lot of people. PD2 was also extremely underrated, rarely do you see a storm dump over 2 feet of snow in Baltimore, JFK AND BOSTON. Those kind of widespread snowstorms seem to have become an endangered species. That's what was special about PD2 and 2002-03 was snowy right from December through April.

I wonder how well he did in 2002-03.... that's such an underrated winter that did well for a lot of people.

The funny thing was-- being about 20 miles east of Central Park, it was only 13 inches here, about half of what Central Park had. I don't know if you remember the event in April that year, but that actually had higher snowfall rates here than the February storm did.

I love tracking in real time, this is far better than just model reading. -

we got ICONED? -
for whatever reason these clippers usually track too far to the north to give us any meaningful precip

Admittedly, getting at least three 2 inch events in this winter with snow cover lasting for a week on two different occasions would raise this winter to a C-. We can't expect 30 inches every winter, or even 20 inches unfortunately. If there was only one event in this winter of 2-4 inches it would still be a failure. But getting possibly three such events makes it tolerable.

We also had an event in April 2006 that is mostly remembered for adding the 0.1 that NYC needed to get to 40.0 on the season. What they don't remember is how heavy the snow was and down here on the south shore, it added up to about 2 inches of snow in 2 hours in the middle of the day. From Brooklyn on east the snowfall rates with this storm were more impressive here than what we got with the so-called February 2006 "HECS"
-
I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers these lol. I think we had a 2 incher in April 2000 also, people tend to forget these events.
-
If next year sucks as badly as the previous two, it could be the worst 3 year stretch in recorded history (at least for NYC and maybe BOS too?)
-
I think 2020-21 also fits this example, although less so than the examples you listed. 2005-06 was meh, but we did have a December storm and the... "HECS" in February. 40" in NYC.

why not south and east with moisture coming off the ocean? -

LibertyBell replied to Northof78's topic in New York City Metro
a banding situation in both cases? is this also why NYC only saw a trace that May even though there was thundersnow? I wonder what the temperature differences were in that storm too, NYC vs PVD vs BOS? -

Are we sure that wasn't an erroneous situation? I have a hard time picturing Providence getting 7 inches in May lol. How could that happen when Boston had much less? Providence is almost always warmer. -

and it starts around 1 am? I like the ones that start at sunrise, snow all day and end at sunset. -

it would be nice if it snowed all day and then ended with a beautiful sunset.... -
I thought we had like one inch in April? But in the middle of March it was amazingly warm (mid to upper 80s with sunshine!)

How did Providence get much less than Boston in PD2? PD2 came from the south..... -

Chris did this also happen in May 1977? I remember Providence got 7" in that snowstorm somehow and Boston only got half an inch (0.5")? -
Do you think it will at least be warm and sunny like March 1990?
