Yep and this has always been the case, before the last week of the previous month they're upper crap.

It's interesting most of those seasons were very good, the ones which were below normal snowfall are a minority. How far back do the records from JFK go... I was shocked to see 1948-49 in there! Is there any record from there for the historic 1947-48 winter and the December 1947 HECS? That was NYC's biggest snowstorm of the 20th century! It's interesting 1982-83 isn't in there, as that was the only winter in the 80s that they exceeded 30" of snowfall.

I'll give it a C- for the bad December and bad most of January. -

That definitely happened here, the roads had no snow on them but everything else had thick layers. -
Maybe, although JFK had less than Central Park in that winter.
-
I find it intriguing when the pattern changes themselves follow patterns and happen during the same weeks each month. If that's the case we could have another colder stretch between March 13 and March 23.... and that could mean perhaps one or two more chances for snow?
-
This may be the first time ever JFK will have more snowfall than Boston for the entire season lol.
-
While I dont believe we will get anywhere close to seasonal averages, it's definitely MUCH better than last winter.
-
wow JFK will beat Boston at this rate, has that ever happened before?

I'm sure you were similarly ahead of NYC in 1986-87 -
For comparison's sake, are both Boston and Philly also in double digits, Chris?
-
2006-07 started as the warmest winter on record though and only flipped in February That was a colder stretch but the really cold stretch started with 2002-03. we took a break from the cold in a few of those years. between that year and 2014-15 2006-07, 2007-08, 2011-12

no just lots of blowing and drifting today, it doesn't matter much anyway it'll be gone in a few days either way. -

I guess it could also be compared to the late 80s / early 90s or late 90s too. -

It was probably a little off just like the 7" from the previous storm. Not off by a lot though 8" for this storm and 6" for the last storm would probably be more accurate. -
and the Poconos, snow squalls all day up there!
-
Week 2-3 sounds ideal as after the 21st our 1"+ events are very rare.
-
We might also have chances in March, but with the way March is opening, it's going to be a long shot, freak event after midmonth if it happens.
-
In the Poconos there have been almost nonstop snow squalls all day and there was a big pileup. Funny thing is, the snow squalls weren't showing up on radar for some reason. Here on Long Island we had light snow almost all day (up to 3 pm) and that didn't show up well on radar either.
-
You have to be happy we actually got a winter this year though, so much better than last year. Hopefully this will keep the bugs in check this year.
-
Maybe they suffer from very high dew points too. If you wanted a place to dump liquid helium to cool down the waters, that would be it.
-
Thanks so much Don, so Central Park is the only official location in the city left to hit double digits on the season.
-
Wow 99 degrees on an island in the Pacific is pretty ridiculous.
-
Don, how much did Philly, Allentown and Mt Pocono get in the storm and where are we at seasonally so far at the park plus the three local airports? Is JFK the only one in double digits so far? Thanks!
