There's not that much of a difference between coastal NJ and Brooklyn and NYC.....if you look at late season patterns, I'd argue that Brooklyn and coastal NJ actually do better than NYC because of what you said before about colder water temps...vs Manhattan being much more urbanized. There's a few storms that prove this....April 1996 and April 1997 being near the top of the list. Still not historic but 10" is definitely possible late in the season.
-
Yes February is fine, it's the best month for snowfall. Things change rapidly in March.
-
Coastal water temps isn't a concern, getting snow to stick in urban areas is the concern.
-
I'd look through past history and what happened in 10-11 and 17-18 and that pretty much maxes out what is possible in our region. Two twenty inch snowstorms plus a couple of moderate storms......we need to be realistic
-
Of course it can snow in March, just not 20"+
-
Yeah 10/11 maxes it out for us....we aren't in Boston's league, it's like comparing a minor league team to a major league team.
-
Yeah, big difference between 10 and 20 though. 10 is doable
-
DC is much further inland...if you want to look for ideal patterns look at March 2018-April 2018....that is probably the best that can be done in the modern era that late in the season.
-
you wont break that record without at least one 20"+ HECS
-
again Boston is a completely different climate, we may be sports rivals, but we're not climate rivals.
-
The record is close to 80, I don't see that happening in a short time span...it's pretty much unprecedented and not part of our climate. Actually if you go back in history, our record is closer to 100" according to Ludlum.
-
you'd need 20 inches in March, that's very difficult now with extreme UHI. I don't expect a lot of snow in March anymore.
-
we dont have that kind of climate though, at that latitude you can have that sort of thing happen....Boston is like the arctic compared to NYC...10-11 is the best this area can do in a 6 week timespan We'd much rather have a wall to wall winter anyway
-
02-03 was wall to wall too
-
too much mixed precip in 13-14 that was more like 93-94 coast wont break records in that pattern
-
to break the record you need a wall to wall winter like 95-96 or 02-03
-
This is why 50" is considered historic. 40" is very good but 50" is a whole other level we got 50" in 02-03 too, I loved that winter....I think JFK got to 56-57 inches of snow.
-
so that 40 mean for February could come to fruition and aside from 97/98 the only other season with both January and February above 40 mean temperature?
-
well yeah if it won't snow....it's a lot better than cloudy rainy days
-
The benchmark snowstorm of my childhood! 2 feet of snow at JFK!
-
1983 blizzard dropped 2 feet of snow at JFK, the benchmark storm of my childhood!
-
I wasn't going to do 20, that's an unlucky number for me.
-
it's not bad at all, if you like huge storms that define the entire winter
-
Not that fast though, I type with 2 fingers
-
and only 60 at JFK? you'd think they'd be warmer with a westerly wind.
