April 2003 was my second most favorite storm that snowfall season, got 8" here

Yeah, also normal should be a range rather than a single number. JFK normal snowfall for the entire year is around 22"...so if they get to 20" it's within their normal range.

yeah, it was nice outside so why not? I got them through the mail from a catalog and it said to plant them early before the last freeze (it said in the lit that came with them that they like cold weather before they come out.) I already have daffodil leaves coming up. I also watch HGTV https://www.hgtv.com/outdoors/landscaping-and-hardscaping/qa-when-is-it-too-late-to-plant-bulbs If you miss planting your bulbs at the optimal time, don't wait for spring or next fall. Bulbs aren't like seeds. They won't survive out of the ground indefinitely. Even if you find an unplanted sack of tulips or daffodils in January or February, plant them and take your chances. No matter what, they're better off giving it a fighting chance in the ground or a chilled pot than wasting away in the garage or cupboard. Flower bulbs are survivors by nature's design.

Only one of these were under 20", so not unprecedented but close to it. and ACY for sure didn't see anywhere near 30" in 1975-76 did they, Don?

Thanks so now we just need to get JFK to 20" (will more than likely happen Sunday) and with 20"+ at 2/3 of the city official recording sites, I think we can safely say this has been a normal snowfall winter.

2008-2009 27.62009-2010 51.42010-2011 61.92012-2013 26.12013-2014 57.42014-2015 50.32015-2016 32.82016-2017 30.22017-2018 40.9 wow! so there's a streak here of 9/10 winters with 30"+ at ISP and NYC had 26"+ in all those winters! (with 7/9 of them 30"+)

lol I'll just go back to calling him troll. Just visit his profile when you have a free second. It's pretty easy to see what he does lol, I should've used some other terminology, like the other time when he was trolling us before the big late January storm. I think he didn't think that one was happening either. He was saying that the storm would be OTS and then he always disappears just before the storm happens and doesn't reappear on the forum until the weather is about to get warm to say "winter is ending" and then weenieing anyone who posts anything to the contrary. I'm sorry for the dumb thoughtless remark.

Groundbreaking on the new 25 mile windfarm being built off of Long Island....it will power 70,000 homes on Long Island by 2023

So this is a definite outlier, Don! If 1986-87 is the lowest then we definitely have some ground to make up! How about Islip >30" with NYC <20"? I bet that hasn't happened much either?

Yeah but I was planting tulip bulbs outside and also had itchy eyes and that combo is pollen for me. Seeing that mosquito wasn't very pleasant either.

The easiest way to tell winter's over is that I sneezed five times today, had itchy eyes and saw and swatted a mosquito. Time to bring out the chemical weapons I guess.

It also feels worse when you see how well ACY did. Over 30" down there usually means over 40" up here. I would like to see all NYC totals in which ACY received over 30" of seasonal snowfall. I would say that two storms giving us most of the snow is fine as long as both are a foot plus lol.

Yeah we had 2 snowfall events that month-- I think that was the one in which the crane accident happened in Manhattan that killed a person. We had heavy snow back here that morning that dropped 4-6 in like 2-3 hours.

It isn't a mental "handicap" is what you're not understanding. It's a pattern of behavior. Autistic people (and I know of several) have above average intelligence but have certain behavior patterns which he's clearly exhibited for a sustained period of time (that's why he's 5-posted and still hands out 100s of weenies every day across multiple subforums.) You clearly don't know him. And maybe not to you, but to me, racism is the lowest of the low and he clearly showed that in referring specifically to two ACCOMPLISHED BLACK MEN. Is there some reason I have to keep pointing this out to you? The reputation of your subforum precedes you (only I think it's just certain people not the whole subforum that's at fault.)

That was the one in which the crane accident happened in NYC! We had heavy snow for most of the morning.

The superbowl storm? That was like 4-6 here

the GOAT until Jan 1996 came around

Locals are going with 3" tops just east of the city, so perhaps down here by JFK? How much does JFK need to reach 20" seasonal? I think less than 1"? What about LGA? You can't say it's been a bad winter if we reach 20"-- that's within our normal range.

Mixed/"Other" Hispanic/Asian combo. Big fan of Stevie Wonder's music, his album Songs in the Key of Life is considered one of the best albums ever made and I agree-- that kind of music is just never written anymore. and Ray Charles piano playing was off the charts great, right up there with the best pianists of the classical era.

It does make me wonder why aren't we conducting this research in the US too-- or are we and it just isn't being talked about?

yeah having known his shtick for a number of years, he actually deserves to be called a lot worse. And apparently you didn't notice that he specifically used TWO ACCOMPLISHED BLACK MEN in his comparison, so yeah he's racist too. That's the R word that should be used for him.

It's called he is an asshole and makes racist remarks and deserves a lot worse than that.

uhm you actually made a horrible comparison "R" has nothing to do with autism. The dude is a smart dude, he clearly has issues with people and trolls people and makes tonedeaf near-racist digs (or did you fail to notice he made a derogatory comment using two accomplished BLACK MEN?) This has nothing to with "R" and everything to do with his behavior for multiple years across multiple forums. He's a 5 posted guy who spends his entire day giving out 100s of weenies to everyone else and for what-- liking snow? So get your facts straight before you open your mouth, until then, stand down.

Same to you-- well I know people who have it, and that's typical behavior. It was an observation, nothing more. What was way worse was making derogatory comments about Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder, don't you think? The guy is a total ass and it's time to call him out on it-- don't be defending him, you just promote his behavior more. So go cry me a river for being "dickish" to him-- he deserves a hell of a lot worse than that. "R" has nothing to do with autism.
