It does seem like January 2009 would be a good analog, smaller events but long duration snow cover with the cold.
-
we all made it to 3.0" or above Don, the Park is close enough at 2.8"
-
yes the 25th is the day to sleep, today is defacto Christmas -
Staten Island is the city jackpot with 1.5"
-
round it to 3 and we're good.
-
wow JFK 0.5 and LGA 0.4 significantly lower than the Park, but it does get all airport locations near the city to 3.0" or higher!
-
I wonder what the airports got? Whatever fell is completely gone since the sun has been out strongly for the past 2 hours now.
-
1.0, sometimes I worry with these *exact* inch amounts, they look like estimates.
-
yup bright and sunny since 12:30
-
If January 2009 is a possible analog, I'd expect a few small to moderate sized snowfall events but long duration snowcover because of the cold.
-
I wasn't aware that 2008-09 was a possible analog for this season. We did have snowy bouts in in all four wintry months DJFM that season. Nothing huge (except for that one MECS we had on March 1st, still my largest March snowstorm lol.)
-
Does this mean it will probably stick around to later in the season than normal too?
-
I wish there was a device that was permanently mounted in the ground that would save the deepest depth of snow during a given storm. I know it wouldn't be the best way to measure snow but such an automated device would be far better than what they do there now. Snowfall measuring is the one weather thing that still requires a human, might as well automate it too.
-
I'm sure next year's severe and tropical season will be more active than this one was.
-
The famous GFS Miracle, probably our greatest positive bust of all time!
-
What's causing this very fast Pacific Jet Chris? I read somewhere that temperature differences between north and south can cause the Jet to speed up.
-
I suppose it counts as a white Christmas if there was at least an inch on the ground by 7 PM Christmas evening (the last regular measurement of the day)?
-
That really came after Christmas though
-
Yep, and they were actually quite similar. Both featured December MECS then a multiweek break in January and then winter came roaring back in February and March. The big difference was 95-96 had the January 1996 blizzard, there was nothing that huge in 1966-67. But many more moderate events that stacked up, especially later in the season.
-
that was hands down one of the best winters ever-- right after one of the best summers ever
-
1 in 10 at best
-
Yep but the event earlier in December also dropped around 0.5" so more like 0.5+3+1.0=4.5"
-
Christmas Eve should be considered Christmas anyway
-
it snowed for like 2 hours? it was over before 10 lol
-
and this time Lucy might let Charlie Brown kick the football too.
