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.
-
Yes we should definitely see more snowfall than we saw in the 80s, maybe even the 90s too, except for 93-94 and 95-96, I don't see how we can beat those two winters lol.
-
13-14 was great up until we hit that roadblock in March Otherwise it probably would have broken the record. Then it would have been a wall to wall winter (my requirement for wall to wall winter is above normal snowfall every month from December through March.)
-
To be fair, one big event is all it will take. It can be above average the rest of the month.
-
We are still at our night time low of 18 even in full sunshine! The snowcover-- what little there is of it-- is really nice to see.
-
Don do you feel that Central Park probably undermeasured ?
-
Yes 14-15 was one of my favorites too. I think December was mild though? I remember the new england forum was worried because they hadn't had much snow by January 15th. The rarest of rare winters are the ones that are snowy from December thru March (and sometimes November and April too!) That is insane about NYC and the other thing is NYC never even reached 30 inches of snowfall between 1978-79 and 1992-93. JFK did reach 30 inches of snowfall in 1982-83 though so that was above normal here.
