Blizzard of 1966 and Blizzard of 1967 the following year?
I knew 1965-66 had more snow south of us (an el nino) and we got our big winter the following year after a super hot summer
No but I researched it-- that was an el nino. Our big winter was the winter after that in 1966-67, classic very hot and dry summer followed by a snowy winter!
Wow, I wonder how much? Did it snow in London too?
They already had a big snowstorm (10") back in December....I always thought when they have a big snowstorm we get one a couple of weeks later (because of blocking.)
Did we ever have a 0 or a T both in December and January? The obvious answer would be no but I guess it could have happened in 2011-12 after the October snowstorm.
1970-1999 (really just the 70s and 80s) were historically bad. If that happens again it means the effects of climate change are becoming stronger and we need to expect this more often. I do believe that by 2050 if not earlier NYC average snowfall will be in the teens and probably under 10 inches by 2080.
There is no such thing as "regression to the mean" when it comes to the climate-- it is always changing, there is no magic "mean" where it settles.
Yep, I would say it's extremely likely we end up with under 10 inches this month if we don't get a few inches this month. That sounds obvious but that's historical precedent for this area.
Under 5 inches will become a strong possibility too.
If we don't get at least an inch this month, I don't believe we will get to 10 for the season.
We have to go with historical precedent at this point so I'd say it's likely we end up with under 20 inches of snow and quite possible it's under 10 inches when the season is finished.
Of course under 5 inches if it's historically bad for snow.
One of my very few all day zero visibility blizzards!
I call it semi- January 2016, because everything about it (snowfall totals, blizzard duration, etc.) was exactly half of January 2016!
I really loved that all day white out!
