I've done that too- in places where the humidity is low.

where is this snow coming from, I thought the storm was gone lol

lol I grew up when torch summers is all we had so I grew to love the records being set in hall of fame summers like 1991, 1993, 1995, 1999, 2002 and 2010. My favorite combo is to get a lot of snow in the winter and spring and then go directly to a hot summer. I keep the a/c on 24/7 in the summer at 60 degrees and the heat at 80 degrees in the winter so either way I have something on to control the temps and humidity levels indoors. If there was an ideal era for me it would be probably be going from winter 2009-10 through summer 2010-11.....we had two historic winters and two historic summers with a hurricane thrown into the mix. You could extend it further out since we also had Sandy and a couple more torch summers that hit 100 here as well as Snowtober 2011 and November 2012 and the 2013-14 and 2014-15 winters. Jan 2016 was the only time I've seen over 30" of snow in a single storm (and in 24 hours!) and that put a rubber stamp on that period. I guess you could just say that the first half of the 2010s was my ideal period for weather overall. Also, if you dont track historic heat in the summer, it gets rather boring around here lol.

yeah some of these people dont know basic math. Wind only comprises 10% of the power there and the outages were up around 50% lol Also, it's Texas- we expect this type of incompetency in Texas

wind is the scapegoat for those politicians who take bribes from the fossil fuel cartel. They belong in prison, all of them.

time for humanity to give up on modelology

1993-94 was in no way shape or form better than 1995-96. To be considered an A+ winter, in addition to having more than twice the average snowfall in a given location, it also has to have at least 1 20"+ snowstorm, so that puts 1995-96 and 2002-03 as the only A+ winters. 1996 and 2003 also both had big snowstorms in April which made those exceptionally long snowfall seasons. (2009-10 and 2010-11 are too for New York City in terms of getting the 20+ inch event but neither had a long snowfall season.) 1993-94 gets an A rating but not A+

I'm going to be talking about 100 degree heat come summer, you can book it! I hope we repeat the 11 yr cycle this summer and roast!

Oh okay, I thought that season followed the pattern of snowy December + mild January + snowy February and March. I guess it did but 9.1 is less than 10 inches....that still is a snowy December though and a memorable Xmas Eve!

hopefully the pink snow is signs of better times ahead for you and your wife my friend. I've only seen pink snow twice (once at sunrise in Jan 2004 and once at sunset in Feb 2009).

6-8 across long island

haha different world out there, we had full sun all day which is exactly what I wanted.

how is it that 1966-67 isn't on this list?

Yes and that was also the last time NYC or western LI had a double digit snowfall in March lol. Also, Jan 1996 is considered the top snowstorm for our area, March 1993 was definitely better in the South though.

CP we can still have major snowstorms in March of course, but the double digit snowfalls in urbanized areas like NYC and western LI is nonexistent- the last one here was March 1993. It's easy to see why thats the case when you combine high sun angle with concrete. I'm fine with it, as by March most of us are already in spring mode and a 6-8 inch storm is fine and considered exceptional by then.

Not only that having the snowiest month in March almost always means the winter sucked before that (see the 50s)

lol look for the last 10" snowfall at NYC/LGA/JFK in March it was almost 30 years ago and I think that was the only one in my lifetime (March 1993).

NYC and western LI dont get high snowfall totals in March....I've been saying that for years lol. Nothing shocking about it though, thats what urbanization has done. I haven't seen a double digit snowfall in March since March 1993 and it took a once in a century event to make it happen.

sounds like you're on board the snowy March train after a one week hiatus with mild and sunny weather this week

Thats the only state that hasn't had snow this season, even Hawaii has had snow (they get it every year in the mountains.) Florida is the only state not touched by the arctic yet.

you have to have a sense of humor to tolerate their mud season lol

radar timestamp says 2/21 lol...lmao I didn't see the 1 in front! we write dates differently here in America

Seeing totals nearing 7 inches in queens and western nassau

NYC has 38 inches, I think they'll easily get another 2 inches at some point to reach 40.....we've had 4 inch snowstorms in March before with temps above freezing during the day!

yes 1996 was my all time favorite. I like breaks in the wintry pattern and nature cleaning up the snow before a fresh batch falls.
