Thanks Tony, what were the lows on February 28th and March 1st?
-
sounds like a norlun
-
who is Charlie Brown in this case lol Ant?
-
Yes, it's funny how it sometimes seems to be easier to get heavy snow in April than March lol
-
So it's been a long time then....the last time I asked someone said 1996 lol. In 2015 we came close though, it was in the single digits on the last day of February wasn't it, Don?
-
so annoying lol
-
Getting to single digits is historic for March and that almost happened in 2015 and I believe the last time it happened was 1996? Whar an amazing long lived winter that was. I think it also almost happened in 2003, another very long lived winter.
-
inland/elevated areas favored. It would be interesting if this happened, we haven't had a clipper in a long time.
-
Exactly as I remember them-- the first event favored areas away from the south shore and the second event, which was supposed to be better, ended up being a disappointment because a lot of it was eaten up by virga and ended early.
-
Is this going to end before morning, Don?
-
Don can you list the accumulations for Central Park and JFK during those two March 1992 events? I believe Central Park was 6.2 and 3.4 in the two events while JFK was around 3 inches for the first one and 3.5 for the second one-- the first one was mixed precip here and alternated between snow and rain and the second one, while colder, lost snow to cold dry air and the storm ended early-- we were supposed to get 5-8.
-
second storm was supposed to be 5-8 but underperformed (cold dry air ate into the moisture and caused it to end early). The first storm was more mixed precip here so it would switch back and forth between snow and rain.
-
Did New York City go below zero in March 1872 too? Also was the March 1962 noreaster more damaging than the December 1992 noreaster? I thought the former was bigger south of us, while December 1992 is the noreaster of record for our area and set the new surge record.
-
It's more that whomever is closest to the water will probably see the least. Got to be in elevated areas to see the best snow
-
One storm wonders though usually do their thing in January and February. I think March 1992 is probably the best we can hope for, that was one time in relative recent history when a really bad winter was somewhat saved in March. Have you looked up those two March storms in your area-- how did you guys do there? The time period is similar too, the 19th and 22nd.
-
I just mean in general when dealing with a bad winter. In a good winter borderline patterns work out better than they do in a bad winter.
-
"Best look" is still probably not good enough. A look like this in an already snowy season will produce a different result than in a season when it hasn't been snowing.
-
I see a lot of optimism, but in this region's climate, it pays to be pessimistic; pessimism tends to be correct more often than not.
-
March 1992 is an analog we have been talking about 6.2 on the 19th and 3.4 on the 22th.
-
Don, so JFK already passed their record from 1972-73?!
-
Be careful with Miller B's like I said in the other post, they are often a New England special. Simply too far to the southwest here to do well unless it's a really big one that strengthens early and quickly and even then we're usually on the fringe of the best part of it.
-
Don what's JFK's record and is it from 1972-73 and is that the lowest record from the 5 boroughs?
-
Depends, it came into play in February this year when it was in the 60s lol
-
we have to be careful with Miller B's they often don't produce here
-
Can you check to see what JFK had in 1972-73? I want to see if they are close to setting their new low record, they have 1.7" as of now. I'm using that for the lowest number for the city as a whole lol.
