What happened in late March 2013 when we had that extremely negative AO? I don't remember any big snows around then. 3/18-3/26 was one long duration extremely negative AO, that had to have set some records.
Some news
This is big news today-- how many decades are we now from controllable nuclear fusion and could this eventually be used not just for energy right here at home but also for space propulsion fuel?
I wonder why that didn't end with a big snowstorm-- so many of our outbreaks have, especially when the outbreak ends in early February it usually ends in a bang-- any idea why we didn't have a big snowstorm to end the long duration arctic outbreak?
Wow Baltimore has only had 3 total winters with 40" or more of snow-- and almost all 3 were in the 60"+ category-- one of whom is more than NYC has ever received in official recorded history. Is Philly's record more similar to Baltimore or NYC?
Particularly impressive since it was with zero snow cover! That was also the last time JFK went below zero and NYC had a high temperature in the single digits! It was even colder than January 1994 and about equal to January 1977!
Do you think this was more impressive than January 1977 or the below zero outbreak on Christmas 1980, Chris? Those are the other notable below zero outbreaks I remember. The latter gave us a small blanket of snow for Christmas.
Looks like you got the LI Jackpot, Ed. No concrete anywhere around here lol but still pretty on the trees, grass, cartops, rooftops, power poles, wires, etc. The sun is now starting to come out so this won't last long.
Thanks Walt, only a T at JFK but I see 0.5" close to me on the south shore of Nassau County. You wouldn't happen to have a western panel for NE PA between Allentown and Scranton would you?
81-82, 82-83, 83-84, 85-86, 86-87 off hand were pretty good, cold and snow in decent enough amounts
Only one double digit snowstorm in there but a few MECS (8"+) in there too, including one in April lol.
Right, the closest to the coast track for which I've seen snow (and in December to boot) was with the Millenium storm, where it only changed over east of Islip.
Right there is a rule of thumb often mentioned with regards to our area with regards to p-type....
Dec Inland-snow NYC-mix LI-rain
Jan Inland-snow NYC-snow LI-mix
Feb Inland-snow NYC-snow LI-snow
I see this broadcast every season and obviously it's a vast oversimplification but just going by SST you can see why this chart is shown every season.
Wow Binghampton snowfall avg doesn't change between December and January? How do these numbers (BGM vs ISP) look like for February, Chris? Thanks.
