People are thinking this because generally IVT verify north of where they are progged to be This should be better than the last storm, 3" isn't outside the realm of possibility. I would say that 3-4" is probably the most anyone should be hoping for.

I liked the colors this morning but the clouds were too thick to get vivid colors like we've seen before.

why is it that we were getting high precip bombs when the weather was warm and now that it's finally cold those high precip storms have stopped?

It does remind me of January 2009, a less cold version of it anyway. Minor snow events but they were on the ground a long time because of the cold.

Walt around 4" in my part of the Poconos near I-80 Blakeslee, PA.

Those are the only three storms I remember from the 80s.... the funny thing about the January 1982 storm is I remember the news reports about the flight going down much more than I remember the snow lol. I remember April 1982 very clearly, I woke up at 3 am to see the first flakes fall, so I was keeping up to date with the forecasts for that storm even back then lol, it's my very first clear snowfall memory at the tender age of 8. I even remember we got another snow event at the end of that week in the middle of the day on the 10th. And February 1983 was the first snowstorm I ever experienced on Long Island after our move there the previous November and my first 2 foot storm! January 1987 was our first 6"+ storm since February 1983, so I remember that well too.

This is exactly how I remember January 1994. The Saturday morning it ended as a period of flurries and the sun came out and the wind started blowing, the ice was glittering like diamonds in the trees against the backdrop of the brilliant deep blue skies. When the wind started blowing though, the air had an unnatural feel to it, the trees seemed like silent zombies who had lost their souls and who refused to move, they were so stiff, like sparkling corpses encased in ice and standing still.

That sounds like March 2014 and March 2015 were similar up your way, we had a cold and dry March 2014 but got close to 20" of snow in March 2015-- I've never seen a March like that before or since.

thats the thing with March and April, if it's not a big storm, it's hard to accumulate in urban areas.

I think it was Feb 2009 when we saw an inverted trough drop a bunch of snow in S NJ to about Philly.... 8 inches if I remember correctly? That storm was originally progged to be a cutter. We didn't do so badly up here either, around 4" A nice average snowfall winter with a very cold January.... we don't get these much anymore.

anything having to do with overfishing has to do with humans, you see this problem around the world, not just here. blaming sea robins is lol worthy.

under 10" of snow in back to back winters has never happened before in NYC and only once at JFK

I still say late 80s to early 90s was worse than the late 90s, because we already had great winters in 93-94 and 95-96 so we had that to look back to.... looking back from the late 80s was only mediocrity during the early to mid 80s.

and during the day which is fun to see!

I look forward to our ocean effect snow lol

Dont inverted troughs usually shift north though?

You eventually surpassed it in 2014-15, but 1995-96 was much more of an all around great season, which started great and ended great. 2014-15 was better for a concentrated period in the middle.

Thanks I think the first one is what caused the crane to fall in NYC and the second one was the superbowl storm.

Thanks, JM. A question.... where does it run off to? The lowest ground it can find? And when it gets there does it freeze there (the freezing rain equivalent of a snow drift I guess lol)

wait.... Scranton had 0.2" inches of snow on a trace of liquid equivalent on the 15th? How is this possible? Wouldn't that indicate a ratio of infinity?!

I think we had 25 or some crazy number like that, basically 2 every week for the entire winter!

yes 2 inches of ice on the south shore was a sight to behold-- and we had layers of sleet and snow under that lol-- it was like walking on an iceberg!

wow the hills on the north shore must have been treacherous with over a quarter of an inch of ice! How much snow fell at East Hills, Don?

Funnily enough I enjoyed March and April the most, because it's so rare to get multiple snowfalls like that so late in the season down here. And the cold was always underplayed that season, just like it was in 1993-94.

plus we had a few nice snowfalls that winter after the blizzard.... you showed one of the PNS reports that year of a foot of snow that fell on Long Island in February!
