or May I guess. We had snowtober but that wasn't a blizzard, though NYC did have a Winter Storm Warning, I never thought I'd see that in October lol.

Smart.... mine is corded all over my yard and I'm always worried about squirrels gnawing at the cords.

But is all this necessary if you don't keep it in the sun? I always keep my sensors on the north side of the house under the shade of a tree. I haven't felt the need for fan aspiration or any of that stuff or even a radiation shield.

Is this more rare than the April 1982 Blizzard? Can't talk about sun angle, that snow stuck around for an entire week and we had another snow event a week later.

8 inches now!! https://x.com/DylanFedericoWX/status/1881810505725317518

the digital stuff is quite accurate regardless of price, I got a very cheap one from Radio Shack back in 1995 that shows min/max temp and current temp to a tenth of a degree (C) or two tenths of a degree (F) and it matches up well with JFK. Then I got a relatively inexpensive digital weather station in 2005 from LaCrosse and I'm impressed with its accuracy in measuring barometric pressure, temperature, rainfall, humidity, windspeed, etc. I could never get those old aneroid barometers to show me the right air pressure and liquid thermometers never showed the right temperature either. I'm convinced those old instruments from back in the 80s were just gimmicks.

Very close to January 2016 out this way, we had 32 inches of snow on 3.00" of liquid

bad measurements + urban heat island is much worse in March

Nice I was going to ask about this. Did JFK get a similar amount of liquid? I'm amused that JFK got more snow than NYC in both March 1993 and February 1994 (second storm) even though both were changeover storms.

whats causing the degradation?

Yes, it reminds me of February 1989.....

it sounds like the perfect climate lol

the dryness is a continuation of what was established last fall.

it's been happening for the last 3 years though, this thing has a cycle that we haven't identified yet. Maybe AMO related.

honestly, it's far more historic for them, let them enjoy it, it would be just a moderate snowstorm up here anyway

Tom Niziol calls it the Gulf of America multiple times lol https://x.com/TomNiziol/status/1881678135307260370

that's correct and it will continue through next spring and summer.

they are just as foolish when they go out for a swim in the middle of a hurricane.

January 1977. Miami also had snow.

After Sandy we had our largest early snowstorm on record on November 7th. 8.5 inches of a very wet heavy snow here. Nemo wasn't much back this way, it rained for half the storm lol

Cantore was taking about Lake Pontchartrain effect snow.

I think so yes, but the airports have not hit 10" since March 1993 either.

March 2009 was the closest one to 10" here, parts of Long Island had up to 16" March 2018 was heaviest over Central Long Island, Farmingdale had close to 20"

March 1993 would have been 20" + with a benchmark track. Newark got 17" in that one if I remember correctly and the 10" line got all the way out to Oceanside (JFK had 12".)

Yep, people go skiing there and then go surfing down at the sea in the same day lol.
