there were a few winters like that in the 80s. No above average snowfall winters and definitely no HECS after February 1983 but a lot of moderate or smaller snowfalls that nickled and dimed us to just below average snowfall winters. I bet a lot of people would be happy with a 20-25 inch snowfall winter with the maximum snowfall in any one storm being 4-6 inches.
two decades.... meaning going back to the 2003-04 winter?
They probably mean for January..... as I don't believe this will be as cold as February 2015 was.
Yeah it was crazy there and eastern Long Island 30 inches
I think that started as rain here and then changed to snow not snow to rain (I like rain to snow much better obviously lol), kind of like the late February 2010 snowicane here in that way.
Tony do you have more info on that great December 1717 cold wave and what caused it? I find it even more impressive than the one in February 1934 since this one occurred earlier and was a much colder winter with multiple below 0 outbreaks!
Perhaps the coldest winter since 1782-83 which was fueled by that volcano in Iceland?
Most people would rather have the warmth and sunshine if it's not going to snow.
NYC hit 70 in December 1984 too before it got down to -2 in January on the Reagan inauguration. No snow though, that winter absolutely sucked.
No, you know how it goes.... I'm pretty sure some/many people want the hype, it's more exciting to them than reality. The busts will be forgotten about and they will be welcomed the next time they hype lol
