say what... they say snowless warm winters help keep tick populations in check? In my experience tick populations always boom after snowless winters (like last winter)

even so there could be a fluke March storm like March 1998 had. Not that anyone should ever expect such an event.

you might have a point there, I could see them doing this lol

JFK has had two consecutive seasons with under 10" of snow though correct? And two seasons out of three?

then again this was an even more weird experience-- I've never experienced heavy snow with the sun being visible at the same time!

it surprised me because the sun was shining through the clouds here the entire time it was snowing-- such a weird experience

No but I'm wondering if there really was such a sharp drop off within 5 miles.

that 0.3" at JFK is a joke unless there was a massive drop off here, about 5 miles east of there, it's going down as a trace, it wasn't even 0.1"

Walt, by JFK it wasn't even 0.1" more like a Trace. The sun was shining through the clouds the entire time and the snow was barely of light intensity at any time and very small flakes.

wow you had more than I did then. I just had a slight accumulation on wires and tree branches, nothing else. I wouldn't even call it 0.1-- it's going down as a Trace.

Yep the sun is starting to come back out and not even a single flake falling. Honestly, I dont even know how JFK got 0.1" lol

as it turns out we ended up with diddly squat lol 0 more salt and sand than snow,

this explains everything, we're SW of that green band and it's still very light snow here...I'm south of that "k" in "New York"

this is ironic even in southern events the south shore sometimes gets screwed

That 11 AM start time for the steady snow was a pretty good call.

Don did DC have more snow than NYC all 3 of those winters too?

steady light snow and like yours, it's not sticking to anything yet.

I can say it's graduated from light flurries to steady light snow now lol

thats truly amazing that it could happen for 3 straight winters Don!

it's always been light scattered flurries here lol

yeah you're seeing the same sun I am lol, good thing is it does seem to be getting dimmer now....

In 2009-10 I assume they all beat Boston in snowfall by wide margins?

I remember this especially during the February 1989 storm that was forecast to be 6-8 inches and it was virga all day long while Atlantic City received 19"

Yeah but apparently that's a real streak for NYC at least lol
