	Don I read that Islip reached 63 today? If it's not going to snow this is exactly the kind of weather I want, strong downsloping westerly winds and dry and sunny conditions. It can be like this all year long.
- 
	I remember when we had the 4 straight years of 40"+ from 2002-03 through 2005-06 we said that would never happen again lol
- 
	one of the best songs ever written
- 
	snowfall is another thing where "average" doesn't apply, you either get a lot of snow or very little snow.
- 
	near the coast we've dropped off more quickly than NYC has....JFK has had almost as many single digit snowfall seasons as they've had 30"+ snowfall seasons
- 
	This makes sense, as the outer suburbs would have more room to rise than NYC would.
- 
	1899 had a mighty historic outbreak too, accompanied by a HECS
- 
	We should look into the 1943 outbreak too, that one gets overlooked. That was the last time we had a historic arctic outbreak (temp of -5 or lower).
- 
	I like the ones that have the AMS seal, does that require a four year science degree to get?
- 
	Beautiful sunrise coming up Don, all the colors are out this morning!
- 
	Great for astronomy and astrophotography too. I was in the Poconos that time we had that huge swing for a whole week in November. Sweating during the day working outside and cold enough to get the fireplace going as soon as the sun went down lol.
- 
	wow 1947-48 was probably the snowiest before 1960-61 1948-49 was the first one with the one big storm but mild winter.... but having that right after 1947-48 must have been something.
- 
	I love this kind of dry air, perfect skies perfect day. We get this in the fall sometimes too-- I think it was a couple of Novembers ago we had a week straight of highs near 70 and lows near freezing lol.
- 
	JFK will probably be the first in our local area to approach 10" =\ Chris is this the entire snowfall record from JFK? They didn't have anything from the great winter of 1960-61 or before that? I remember 25.0" of snow at JFK from the great February 1961 blizzard.
- 
	It's so amazing to have so many years in the last 35 under 10" snowfall. Beginning in 1988-89 we have 10 out of 35 years with less than 10" of snow. I bet that's more than the number of years we have 40" or more. It's actually close to 30" or more.
- 
	How many times have we had back to back years with less than 10"? May have implications for next season lol
- 
	That's still a science degree though, there's a difference between that and some 19 yr old on Twitter....
- 
	Thanks Chris-- how was it specifically between 1987-88 and 1991-92
- 
	Maybe this is why there are so many birds around? Even a lot of woodpeckers this year so far
- 
	2001-02 is just a cut above all the others, really loved that spring and summer too, hopefully we get that again and then something like 2002-03
- 
	the perfect year the GOAT
- 
	I'm hoping for 2002....
- 
	not necessarily
- 
	breeze off the water
- 
	You're right, if it isn't going to snow I want warm and sunny and not humid.
