-9 and -10 have to be close to the all time records for ACY and TTN too.

that was such a nice well balanced snowfall season-- was this a weak el nino, Don?

Thanks, Tony! and I believe -3 is the all time record low for LGA. And -8 for EWR?

Yes, that's a huge problem. Most of our good to very good to great winters started off with a nice December. Some exceptions, but this was generally true.

wow it's absolutely amazing there are records from 1835! I wonder if we have snowfall records going back that far (for NY as well as for Charleston.)

Use a hose Ant!

Can't the media or someone at all question them and ask them why they're putting down all this salt? There needs to be some accountability here.

Positively epic! I wish we could figure out why NYC never gets below -2 anymore lol. Is JFK'S all time record low -2? I haven't seen them ever get lower than that.

it's nice to see so much snowfall even with average temperatures above freezing in that period, Don! How much snow did we have outside of January and February? We had snow even in April didn't we?

It's easier to go by norms by the end of the month, since this is what we'll have at the end of the month too lol. Normal snowfall in December is 3" and it's 7" in January. So by the end of January we should have 10" Also, remember we are population weighed towards the coast, the more you get away from the water the less the number of people that live there.

la ninas after el ninos are the snowiest season of all but just to sum it all up-- enso itself constitutes only 20% of our weather.

This morning in 1985 was JFK's last low of below zero and it was also the last time the city had a high in single digits. It was also the coldest president inauguration in history.

Tony please list the record low from 1985 for today from JFK. It was the last time they went below zero. Also, the -8 from EWR isn't too cold, they also hit -8 in other arctic outbreaks during the 80s, including in 1980, 1982 and 1984. Philly hit -7 or -8 in those arctic outbreaks too. Jacksonville down to single digits is absolutely amazing! Did it snow down there?

Wow I guess we missed out on the heavy snow that SNE got on this date in 1990. Wow, 1985's cold record was today..... Tony, can you list the record low at JFK from 1985 for today too? And that -8 at EWR isn't too cold because they also hit -8 in other arctic outbreaks in the 80s, including in 1980, 1982 and 1984! Philly hit -7 or -8 in those arctic outbreaks too. Jacksonville down to single digits is absolutely amazing! Did it snow down there?

I feel like anyone who loves snow should not live near the coast. Even in so-called bad patterns the Poconos does a lot better than anyone else at that latitude. Even with southern sliders they get more snow (4 inches in the last storm.) 24-30 inches of snow already on the season including one storm that dumped 15 inches there. Elevation is snow's best friend, both for accumulation and for duration of snowcover.

It's shocking to have 1963-64 in that list, didn't we get almost 4 feet of snow in that winter, Don? Was it all outside of the core of winter?

I enjoyed the first storm, that was an easy 2" here maybe even a little more than that, before it mixed and changed over.

No, we had filtered sunshine while it was snowing and the roads and driveways and cartops and rooftops were just wet at 31 degrees. We just live in a highly urbanized area, it's different for the north shore and for Central NJ.

Tell me about it.... it's been decades since this area has seen a double digit March storm, regardless of what less urbanized areas have received (they did great in March 2018).

But areas north of us got more snow too. The SST is 43-45 which is just too warm unless you have strong arctic air in the region. Borderline events are the ones which will go away first.

It snowed here on the south shore, but it didn't stick, which was an interesting experience. Areas north of us got more snow too, it just sucks to be near the ocean.

it could just as easily be broken in March by a renegade storm in the middle of a warm pattern like March 1998 had.

Looking closely on this map I found someone who got even less than we did in our area haha. Okay, so I'm under the 2-3 inch band. NW Brooklyn is under the 1-2 inch band. My other house in PA is doing a lot better, it's at 16-20 inches and the highway which we use to get there is at 20-24 and just a little north of there (which I assume is Mt Pocono) is at 24-30 inches on the season.... if you go north of there the amounts drop off again. One thing I dont understand is..... days since 2" snowfall, how is it that central Queens is in the yellow (less than 5 days) while both west and east of there (including the north shore of Nassau County) it's 600-800 days?

this is the result of the oceans warming the most. so the outcome of all this is more humid summers, milder winters at the coast and more rainfall all year round

Haha I love that too. Whatever he changes it to, the opposite will happen lol. Maybe he should change it to Snowhater456 lol
