That sounds like March 2014 and March 2015 were similar up your way, we had a cold and dry March 2014 but got close to 20" of snow in March 2015-- I've never seen a March like that before or since.
-
thats the thing with March and April, if it's not a big storm, it's hard to accumulate in urban areas. -
I think it was Feb 2009 when we saw an inverted trough drop a bunch of snow in S NJ to about Philly.... 8 inches if I remember correctly? That storm was originally progged to be a cutter. We didn't do so badly up here either, around 4" A nice average snowfall winter with a very cold January.... we don't get these much anymore.
-
anything having to do with overfishing has to do with humans, you see this problem around the world, not just here. blaming sea robins is lol worthy.
-
under 10" of snow in back to back winters has never happened before in NYC and only once at JFK
-
I still say late 80s to early 90s was worse than the late 90s, because we already had great winters in 93-94 and 95-96 so we had that to look back to.... looking back from the late 80s was only mediocrity during the early to mid 80s.
-
and during the day which is fun to see!
-
I look forward to our ocean effect snow lol
-
Dont inverted troughs usually shift north though?
-
You eventually surpassed it in 2014-15, but 1995-96 was much more of an all around great season, which started great and ended great. 2014-15 was better for a concentrated period in the middle.
-
Thanks I think the first one is what caused the crane to fall in NYC and the second one was the superbowl storm.
-
Thanks, JM. A question.... where does it run off to? The lowest ground it can find? And when it gets there does it freeze there (the freezing rain equivalent of a snow drift I guess lol)
-
wait.... Scranton had 0.2" inches of snow on a trace of liquid equivalent on the 15th? How is this possible? Wouldn't that indicate a ratio of infinity?!
-
I think we had 25 or some crazy number like that, basically 2 every week for the entire winter!
-
yes 2 inches of ice on the south shore was a sight to behold-- and we had layers of sleet and snow under that lol-- it was like walking on an iceberg!
-
wow the hills on the north shore must have been treacherous with over a quarter of an inch of ice! How much snow fell at East Hills, Don?
-
Funnily enough I enjoyed March and April the most, because it's so rare to get multiple snowfalls like that so late in the season down here. And the cold was always underplayed that season, just like it was in 1993-94.
-
plus we had a few nice snowfalls that winter after the blizzard.... you showed one of the PNS reports that year of a foot of snow that fell on Long Island in February!
-
I wonder how they would have done in 1993-94 with all that snow and ice combined and I remember we ran out of salt that season.
-
1995-96 was such a multifaceted winter and the return to extreme cold and snow in February was dramatic.
-
there were shops set up on the Hudson River and people carried artillery and cannons across the river.
-
they also got snow down there lol
-
It looks like the rest of the precip at Central Park was freezing rain? 0.1 inch ZR reported there.
-
well the speculation was we would keep getting high precip events like we did when the pattern was warmer.... what stopped the high precip events?
-
weren't we in solar minimum in the late 70s? that's my thinking off the top of my head. also note: we have been at absolute solar maximum in 2023 and 2024 (which is why the total solar eclipse in April should feature lots of pink prominences!) we were also at absolute solar maximum in the early 1990s when we had all those very mild winters and very hot summers, when NYC had 22 out of 24 months above normal in 1990 and 1991 and set the then all time hottest year.
