  1. Did the 80s have a lot of la nina type winters is that why December and January were much colder than February?
  2. We just barely missed out on averaging 30.0 inches over a 30 year period =\ it's close enough that the snowfall measurements at the park might have made up the difference had they been made on time and accurately.
  3. Thanks Walt, looks like 1.8-2.5 out that way while we got 0.5 here! I hope you're okay, Walt....
  4. agreed, just like yesterday! I hate rain and warm more than anything... well except rain and cold lol.
  5. Thanks, wow, the 1970s, 80s and 90s were amazingly..... consistent there lol
  6. about an inch in the Poconos? I see almost 2 inches in NW NJ
  7. Walt, what is that amount just SW of Mt Pocono? That annoying CoCoRaHS legend is blocking it, all I see is .8 .... is that 1.8?
  8. and this is exactly what happened, although we did get more here than we did in the Monday event. Lake Hopatcong got 1.7" which is the most I've found. We were close to an inch here.
  9. I have zero issues with the 90s because 2 years of 50+ inches of snow is more than enough
  10. Don't forget 1993-94 that was better than any season since 1977-78 and our first great snowfall season since then!
  11. If we use just decadal averages, the 70s and 80s were our least snowiest decades with the 80s averaging less than 20 inches of snow! If we use the least snowiest 10 year period, who comes in first? The period from 1983-84 through 1992-93?
  12. different storm? Maybe it was that one.... I just remember we hadnt had 6 inches in a long time and we had a storm that dumped close to 6 inches but then changed to rain, like many storms did in that time period. It snowed almost all day and then changed to rain when it got dark.
  13. The late 80s were similarly a snow drought like the current period, there was a 3 in 4 year stretch when JFK had less than 10 inches of snow, which has yet to be matched.
  14. I remember that 1991 storm well, it was our first storm in a long time that even approached 6 inches and it still changed to rain.
  15. Exactly what I've been saying! Even February 2018, which was MUCH warmer than the current month, had more snow than this month has had!
  16. 10-11 probably had more snowcover than any year I have ever lived through, the snow was literally up to my windows, it felt like being in the Poconos on the south shore of Long Island! 14-15 was right behind it and had the coldest month I have ever lived through here in February and with our snowiest March of my lifetime!
  17. February can be mild and you can still get more snow than you had this month, remember February 2018?
  18. I think he needs to move to Miami or something since he hates snow so much.
  19. also, there is no real connection between climate change and snowfall where we live. You can get either extreme.
  20. you know as well as I do those early season snowfalls were undermeasured at Central Park, use the average of the airports to see the real snowfall in December, it was around 3.5 which is about average.
  21. But you seem to think *canonical la nina* means no snow, thats not what it means and even in the hyper warm February 2018 we had more snow than we had this month.
  22. No they were not, they were actually worse There is still -NO WINTER- in recent memory that matches the absolute frustration that occurred between 1988-89 and 1991-92, which not coincidentally was also near the solar max. To be clear we're talking about the late 80s, not the early part of the decade. We're also cycling back to a drier pattern like we had back then.
