I bet March 1967 had a larger snowcover, that was a historic winter with historic cold in March.

I wonder if this means a cooler summer, or a summer more along the lines of 2002?

wow big differences between 2012 and 1967! Tony, was this the latest single digit temp ever recorded in NYC (in 1967)? Did JFK record temps in the single digits too? It came just after an HECS that topped off an amazing winter! 1990 - Rather wintry weather in the eastern U.S. replaced the 80 degree weather of the previous week. Freezing temperatures were reported in northern sections of the Gulf Coast States, and snow began to whiten the Northern and Central Appalachians. Up to eight inches of snow was reported in western Virginia. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) I remember this, we went from mid 80s in the middle of March to eventually getting a 1-2 inch snow event in early April

or Halifax which gets a ton of coastal storms.

Very long duration snowstorm and we had a big snowstorm in April too, very much like 2018!

lol "villages" on Long Island have that many or more people

based on these high SST, how come we're not already in an el nino?

It's games like that which make the whole tournament worthwhile. I hope the coach stays at that school.

Caribou is an awesome place to live for more than just that, I heard they have no seasonal allergens there!

Yep, and they even doubled Scranton's total, which is about the same distance north of them that Allentown is south of them, but also in a valley.

Chris, do you think MPO's snowfall will keep going up too? This might become a snowfall bonanza for areas with elevation regardless of latitude.

Thanks, I've been waiting for this! Looks like LGA is the only local airport that broke 3 inches, mainly because of that December storm!

as was February.....this area never does well when January and February both strike out

Amazing to see that 6.5 inch total from Allentown and then 41.6 inches at Mt Pocono....what were they smoking?! Clearly not cirrus!

that three month period in 1869 might be unmatched-- it's within a degree across 3 months lol 1871-72 is only off by 0.1 from it but 1871-72 is even more remarkable for having three months in a row average in the 20s and 4 months in a row well below freezing! 1871-1872 was probably a big snowfall and snowcover winter.

that breach won't be temporary and we're going to go WAY past it likely to 2.5 C within our lifetimes.

The most interesting thing is that the three months of JFM will all have an average temp within a degree or two of each other, I wonder if that's ever happened before.

Yes it was on the anniversary of the May 1977 snowstorm

Even JFK got over 46 inches of snow that winter, so we can't even say it was an inland winter, that winter was full of historic cold and big snowfalls too and a historic ice storm to top it all off.

I like this ice method! It measures the actual amount of snow that fell from the sky, which is the real experience of seeing snow fall, who cares whether it sticks to some surface or not!

it would be fine if all storms were like January 1996 or PD2. Now that would be Utopia.

15-16 was more like 82-83 in that respect

Jan 2022 also, foot amounts came as close to the city as Brooklyn.

I mean that snow in May was historic so I dont mind it, and it got warm a few days after that

You definitely want the Pacific on your side, you can get a blockbuster winter with a great Pacific and a bad Atlantic, but not vice versa-- the best example of this is 1993-94 !
