moral of the story : we need to lower air regulations to counteract climate change lol I remember a similar thing happened when the Clean Air Act took effect in the 70s.
-
thats why you cant be too optimistic about this period, everything is down to nowcasting rain snow lines
-
the 1960s were nowhere near as great as what we had in the 2000s. 4 straight 40"+ winters and then 09-10 and 10-11 back to back and then 13-14 and 14-15 back to back WOW
-
that was different, after 93-94 and 95-96 were so amazing I didnt really care or even remember 96-97 through 01-02 The Yankees were winning lots of world series with the greatest baseball dynasty of all time too, so winter weather didn't matter that much after 96.
-
it may be too late by the time it's our "turn" again expect rapidly declinining snowfall averages from the 2050s onwards.

1717 - On Fishers Island in Long Island Sound, 1200 sheep were discovered to have been buried under a snow drift for four weeks. When finally uncovered, one hundred sheep were still alive. (The Weather Channel) wow so we did get buried in 1717.....literally! Glad to hear they were rescued, I wonder how much snow fell here? also interesting how frigid 1996 was so late in the season and 2016 went back to warm lol
-
big difference in mid march and later lol
-
There was a norlun during the April 1982 blizzard? Wasn't there a norlun in February 1990 on eastern Long Island too?
-
wouldn't that be mixed precip ? how about you draw a line that goes south from montauk and east from cape may and the point of their intersection is our benchmark :-)
-
we really want the sun, as long as the sun is out temps in the 60s feel nice and warm with that April sunshine and none of that coastal wind tunnel either lol
-
yep 4-6 inches here aka 5 inches lol NYC schools closed for 2 days lol
-
The snowfall map for that storm is like a new englander's worst nightmare lol, the snow literally stopped at the border.
-
You know that's why I don't like them lol A foot of snow in Patchogue and 4-5 inches for us. I guess April 1996 was like that too? We got 4-5 inches here and NYC got less than an inch. The Hamptons got a foot of snow and blizzard conditions all night!
-
that was because of track, the storm cut across central Long Island, we were lucky to get a foot of heavy wet snow here in SW Nassau.
-
Norluns interestingly enough favor areas both north and south of the area....so either coastal NJ or SNE
-
interesting how norluns love the NJ Coast and NE but not us lol
-
Does this remind you of March 2001 in some ways? I was curious how the models would handle that storm if it were to happen now.
-
Yes, we've played this game before lol Would be way different a month or more ago
-
cant happen, you can only have one or the other not both
-
there's not enough cold air because it is mid March....but enough for 4 - 6 inches here and back end snow which is a lot better than front end snow.
-
it can be snowing there while still raining here lol. back end snow is still better than no snow at all or snow changing to rain
-
This is exactly what I was thinking! It actually reminds me of March 2001 in some ways. 4-5 inches of back end snow is what would be the high end of the potential for us.
-
Big difference between late February and mid March. But yes Boston can get 1-3 while NYC gets 4-6
-
Right, I expect no more than 4 - 6 for the city and coast, but even that would be historic for this season.
-
Have to factor in urban heat island and mid March, I would be shocked at anything more than a few inches, which will be like an HECS this season.
