wow I've never heard of this event....was it rain in the city and south shore in Nassau county?
-
Jan 15-20 is the most favored time for snowfall climatologically too.
-
The AO is still sharply negative but it's so mild is that because there is no cold air on our side of the globe, Don?
-
That was amazing-- I remember it well! I think there was a coating even down to Brooklyn and Long Island? The anniversary of the May 9, 1977 storm! And that trace happened during the day too!
-
it's like one of those dumb baseball games where every hitter strikes out and you are rooting for the meathead to accidentally hit one out.
-
haha I love how you said night That would be the ultimate insult to have it happen at night and not see it fall lol.
-
But if you read it and the accuweather linked thread, they say "rain or snow, wet snow or mixed precip" lol and that over the long term extremes usually balance out. So in the end they're really not saying anything much, just surrounding the hype with a bunch of qualifiers lol.

https://www.accuweather.com/en/winter-weather/big-weather-changes-are-on-the-way-for-the-midwest-northeast/1434437 Interesting list at the end of this page-- I didn't know 2020 had the most days (by far) between measurable snow.... 332 days, ranks it higher than 1973, 2002, 2000 or 1998! 7 of the top 10 are 1998 or later.
-
Lock it in, put it in Fort Knox and swallow the keys lol. Don't want this thing to change.
-
It depends. 1989-90 and 1994-95 are both considered pretty bad winters.
-
Wow that's amazing-- did you get something similar in 1998 too? I remember seeing some amazing ice (damage) pictures from up there.
-
Was that the same winter we had a historic ice storm that ranks up there with Jan 1994 as the two biggest ice storms we've ever had, Don? Jan 1994 was amazing 1.5-2 inches of ice here on the south shore! Does anyone ever keep records of the biggest ice storms? I'd like to see the records for both NYC and JFK if they do. JFK stayed below freezing for the duration of the Jan 1994 ice storm so I know they were all ice/frozen and no plain rain.
-
Wow so shocking to see winters from the 1800s in this list, Don. Whats that winter that begins at the bottom and takes a straight hike up to the top at the end lol. I'll take that winter. Betting it's 2015-16
-
That's pretty reflective of what's been going on here too. I remember reading comments that the snow has been wetter up there too, with marginal temps, and that is one of the reason for the extensive power outages.
-
Wow that's gorgeous you can see Orion's belt there too (the three stars in a row.) I wonder what the Orion Nebula would look like through the Northern Lights!
-
Maybe this is also part of some cyclic thing, all this convo about record rains and snows out west-- maybe we are finally going to end that multidecade drought out west. I haven't heard much about forest fires there the last few months.
-
I love the Northern Lights too, what's the best place to see those there?
-
Which was their coldest December in 100 years-- was it recently?
-
and that was an el nino, we can get skunked in any enso lol. 1972-73 was bad but I can only rank the ones I experienced and I'd say 2001-02 was worse. I wonder how the worst 5 rank on the WSI (Winter Severity Index) and inversely, how the top 5 rank too. My worst has to be 2001-02 with 1997-98 a strong second. Nothing else comes close to those two. Top winters for me are 1995-96, 2002-03, 2010-11, 2009-10, 1993-94, 2014-15, 2013-14, 2017-18, 2003-04
-
I see there's a snow drought going on up there too, outside of a few select lake belt regions. Syracuse has been in a snow drought for years.
-
Might need to take another trip to Iceland to see some snow lol One thing that is clear-- there is never a guarantee of snow around here, no matter the pattern or signal lol. I think the closest we can ever come to a guarantee anywhere in the East is that there will always be lake effect snow lol.
-
Good to see you back, man. We got worried about you being gone for so long.
-
Night time was the best part, it stuck to the sides of the houses because the wind was blowing so hard.
-
if you want to use la nina big snowstorms, they usually happen in la ninas that happen after el ninos we have some prime examples of them in December 1995, January 1996, February 1996, December 2010 and January 2011. I loved those storms. Wow 1995-96 had three of them and 2010-11 had two of them....
-
Snowicane, you got 20" in that.
