But we got 2/3 really good storms, so I'm not sure why 82-83 and 15-16 would be bad luck and not 97-98? Those were two amazing HECS with the south shore getting the most snow of all in those events so I'd gamble on that. Also there were other borderline strong el ninos too, like 57-58, 02-03 and 09-10, that were also very good.

This is absolutely fascinating! Just out of sheer curiosity, can you do the average SD per decade? I bet that would have some interesting results too. It could be a per 30 year average SD too, but I'd also like to see a per decade approach like you did above.
-
Then we could have that SE ridge build and end the "good" pattern completely before it ever snows.
-
It was worth it to see him screw up so bad to get a historically bad winter like that. I'll still rank that higher than any of the others for snowfall futility and extreme warmth.
-
Remember JB's 2001-02, this is a repeat of that.
-
Chances of breaking that suspect 2019-20 record have increased. I still view that 332 record with some suspicion, no one ever talks about 2019-20 as among our least snowy winters-- it's always 1972-73, 1997-98, 2001-02 and 2011-12.

It probably isn't even supposed to snow at the coast much anymore. Have you seen what's been going on with the climate? None of this should be a surprise to anyone.
-
Yup feast or famine, and it'll probably be either next year or the year after, seeing what usually happens after really bad winters like this one. After 2001-02 we had 2002-03 (need a nice strong el nino) and after 2011-12 we had an average winter in 2012-13 and then a couple of blockbusters after that.

It's just like with the Indigenous people I watched in a documentary, they can't rely on salmon fishing like they used to for thousands of years, because the fish are disappearing in the wild. They have to move on to other ways of sustaining themselves
-
No but we're (somewhat tepidly) hoping for a big winter next year. Regardless my favorite years are la ninas after el ninos because they give the dramatic change from a super hot and very dry summer to a snowy winter. Those are my all time favorites. Nothing better than going from 100+ degrees down to the coast in the summer to 20"+ blizzards down to the coast in the winter!
-
I don't even understand how it could not have snowed after middle January. There must be a measurement error somewhere.
-
can we categorize SSW too? There should be categories for them as follows: LECS (Cat 1) SSW SECS (Cat 2) SSW MECS (Cat 3) SSW HECS (Cat 4) SSW BECS (Cat 5) SSW I wonder what the return period is for them per category?
-
Is that why 2010 was so crazy? el nino major blocking and SSW?
-
Blizzard of 1966 and Blizzard of 1967 the following year? I knew 1965-66 had more snow south of us (an el nino) and we got our big winter the following year after a super hot summer
-
No but I researched it-- that was an el nino. Our big winter was the winter after that in 1966-67, classic very hot and dry summer followed by a snowy winter!
-
Wow, I wonder how much? Did it snow in London too? They already had a big snowstorm (10") back in December....I always thought when they have a big snowstorm we get one a couple of weeks later (because of blocking.)
-
This looked so good and then you misspelled January* lol

Superbowl and you have a deal. The Eagles are just a steppingstone on the way.

Metfan is "kicking ass and taking names"
-
even with all the lol's in this string of posts the funniest was still can be please disable my mom preview lol whatever happened to Noreaster anyway?
-
Did we ever have a 0 or a T both in December and January? The obvious answer would be no but I guess it could have happened in 2011-12 after the October snowstorm.
-
Thanks! That was such a fun storm! Do you have any videos of the white out conditions too?
-
I just said that in the main thread lol
