8.... that last one says straight line winds Breaks the record of 7 in one day for NJ from the notorious and lethal outbreak from November 16, 1989 that I remember so well (the one that killed 10 kids at East Coldenham High School in Orange County.) also there was an EF3 in Delaware, wow?! I think that's the one that ended up being lethal?

some of those are truly mindblowing I didn't know it was possible in our area to have temps near 90 during the day and in the 20s at night....anything like this from Westhampton (FOK) or Marthas Vineyard (MVY)..... those are the other two places I know of that radiate really well. I don't see Toms River in here (MJX) either, which I thought they would be

It sounds like it could challenge some of the extreme diurnal ranges at Toms River or Westhampton!

wow the diurnal departures there must be impressive-- the highest in the area?

ugh well that's annoying, like a 19 inch snowstorm or a 99 degree high or a 1 degree low lol Probably got down to 32 on the south shore of Nassau though

There was a spike in temperatures after we passed the Clean Air Act too.

Looks like JFK was at 33 degrees at 6 AM....I wonder if they hit 32 earlier?

Hopefully we get this in the summer too, I love dry air.

This is for overall yearly tornadoes right, not just for April? Thanks for posting this-- I see my county in NE PA included here!

it just seems weird to be the only places under 70 inches though and there weren't any snow to rain storms, do you believe there was widespread undermeasurement in the January 1996 blizzard too? Also, didn't JFK measure 4.5" in the April snowstorm? That would mean its total was more like 64-65 inches before April, which seems really low for 95-96. How much did Oceanside measure in the January blizzard and in the April snowstorm, if you have those numbers, Chris?

and I believe that 95-96 total was actually over 70" because of the undermeasurement during the January 1996 blizzard (same with NYC). Some of those years were downright shocking, 1988-89 and 1989-90 were the back to backs with less than 10 inches and it was really annoying in 1989-90 because we got off to a quick start with the Thanksgiving snowstorm and December was so cold. I thought 91-92 was also below 10" but maybe not. Or maybe it was 96-97? Top 3 winters by far were 1995-96, 1960-61 and 2002-03 I take it 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2013-14, 2014-15 were the only 2 couplets that were back to back over 40"? Are the longterm snowfall averages and 30 year snowfall means both under 24" at JFK, Chris?

long island certainly has, they had 8 tornadoes in one day in November-- that's unprecedented in ANY month!

will the midweek wetness have severe weather associated with it again?

That late 90s period really was horrific lol (throw in 2001-02 too to cap it all off)....two consecutive seasons with 10 inches or less of snow and that's before 2001-02. JFK had two straight below 10 inch snowfall seasons and 3 out of 4 in the early 90s.

any good analogs for this? 15-16?

The wind right now is much stronger here than it was at any point today or tonight-- it's really roaring out there!!

Just as a comparison 1972-73 was less snowy than this winter at JFK and the south shore..... JFK only had 1.6" of snow that season, but it was a colder winter than this one....and it was about 2-3 degrees colder for DJF, which is mind jarring that a winter could be that cold and see that little snow.

wow that event was 2 inches here and 1.5" at JFK.... I guess Long Beach can be different from JFK.

It got so bad that I refused to measure it, I just made my own scale of light coating, moderate coating, heavy coating, etc. It was between 3-4 inches here, I'll go with 3.5 lol 0.5 inches..... December (only LGA properly measured this), 1 event 0.1 inches...... January (really just a dusting), 1 event 2.0 inches + 0.5 inches...... February, 2 events 0.5 inches + 0.1 inches....... March, 2 events okay that adds up to 3.7 inches but it's really 3.5 since those 2 0.1 inch events were really just dustings and that first event in March was an estimate as it melted in the middle of the night. So 3.5 is probably the top end of what we got.

this is good enough for me, no need for anything more than this.

it's raining pretty hard here now with frequent lightning no real wind though

I wasn't here (away on vacation) but I read that July 1998 was really good for severe weather around here with large hail on the south shore that caused widespread damage to cars. 1999 in my mind is without equal, as that had multiple large severe weather outbreaks and that F2 tornado that went right down Merrick Road in Lynbrook on Labor Day. That was an amazing year and everything from huge heatwaves and record heat in the summer (record hot July) to bookend widespread severe weather around both Memorial Day and Labor Day!

wow so worse than a gunshot going off nearby....thats what it felt like to me when I heard it

microburst? those things can destroy roofs and cause lots of tree damage =\

it's why I hate thunder and lightning so much lol
