what are the numbers for all the airports? I didn't see what they had for jfk, lga, ewr, etc

Let's get the futility record because nothing else about this season is worth remembering. Glad to see eastern Long Island got close to warning criteria. It was all or mostly snow here too, but the temps were just above freezing so mostly just slush. A little accumulated around the edges of my driveway and edges of the sidewalks and streets but nothing in the middle and the roads didn't even get salted here. But it's nice to know that what fell was mostly snow and it did cover all the grass, cartops, rooftops, etc.

It was around 32-33 for the entire storm and it was 80-90 percent snow here for its entirety (and the part that wasn't snow was white rain but there was barely any of that), the storm ended at around 6:30 am here I slept for a few hours in the middle of it but when I went to sleep it was snowing pretty hard and when I woke up it was snowing pretty hard too. The winds were northeast, not southeast, so that helped a lot. I saw further east they weren't northeast.

That kind of pattern works out much more often in March than it does in December

by the way it changed back to snow here lol when it lightens up it's rain when it gets heavier it's snow. this is just like a spring storm

Same thing happened in 97-98 too and I'm sure many other seasons.

funny thing is it never even sleeted here, like not even one ping....it just went from snow to rain lol

it may be gone from the grass by then too

looks like rain here too

if there is anything left by 1 am lol

Yep I think it's here although not sure since not much is happening.

only every six hours 7 am 1 pm 7 pm 1 am

Just saw him! He's in Queens now and showed the snow sticking to the streets--well slushy at least lol.

who did they send there? they dont even do coverage this late at night

typical spring snow

Brooklyn is close enough though, do you think 1972-73 ranks right up there with 2001-02 and 1997-98 if you combine both warmth and low snowfall? I remember hearing there was a big ice storm that season.

I just checked outside, we have kids playing in the streets. It's acually snowing hard enough that you don't have to look in the streetlights to see it and it's accumulating everywhere now, in the streets and driveways too, except it's slushy not white. Solid snowcover on cartops and grass and rooftops of course.

That could quite possibly be more historic than 2001-02 but I wasn't alive then lol. Were you in Oceanside for 1997-98 and 2001-02 too? How would you rank the three? I guess I would toss 2011-12 in there too but we had over an inch in October so I keep that apart from the record low snowfall winters.

It's probably more like 01-02. Some notes about 97-98, from what I've read from others who remember that year better, it was actually more than 0.5 in DJF but Central Park as usual didn't measure properly. Both LGA and JFK were higher than 0.5 in 1997-98 for DJF. This winter was probably more than 0.4 too, we had two measurable snowfalls, one in December and one in February, the total was probably closer to 0.6 to 0.8 between those two events. This winter is more like 2001-02 anyway, a lot warmer than 1997-98 and almost as warm as 2001-02, which is the low benchmark winter of my lifetime.

Hell no, it's too cold plus nothing really to take pictures of in the dark. I'll go outside in the morning to take pictures.

But a lull would be expected. I'm happy with this initial burst. Whatever we get later is gravy.

I just see so-called meteorologists say that on TV and then I neg them on Twitter and tell them they should talk more intelligently. I dont really mind when you use it, but when people on TV use words like that it makes me wonder why they got those jobs.

energy you mean I hate when people say "oomph"

People diss la ninas but the fact is that la ninas are almost guaranteed to give you at least one 4-6 inch snowstorm, especially late in the season. I dont believe any of the bottom 5 winters in the city were la ninas, they were mostly either el ninos or neutrals. La Ninas are always good for at least one nice snowfall, even if it's very late in the season.
