yeah but I dont think most are buying that lol
From the 80s I remember a lot of storms that were like this, they had the potential to deliver 6+ inches of snow and we only got 1-3 inches
weird I dont remember that, I thought our seasonal total was 10.6"? I know JFK got more than that because the November storm was heavier there and they were closer to some of the southern scrapers that hit us in December
I might have confused those lol....I think it was the January 1987 snowfall I was thinking about that I remember the measurement from but juxtaposed that with the December 1984 snowfall lol. Uncle, do you have JFK snowfall totals from both those storms (December 1984 and January 1987) and the dates they occurred on? There's also a LGA 7 incher in there somewhere which I remember because we had just moved to a new house and the door got stuck when I got home from school and I couldn't get inside....the snow started around 3 in the afternoon and got heavier by 6 and snowed until the next morning. I don't remember the totals from the city or JFK for that one but I remember LGA got 7"
except for the Millenium snowstorm in 2000 we have a bad record when it comes to pre New Years snow....I'm not sure if I've ever seen one in my entire lifetime.
12/31-1/1 just to be clear
Hey I have a question thats been nagging at me....there was a nice sized December snowfall back in the 80s I just don't remember what year.
It was an 8.6" snowfall (for some reason that number sticks out to me) and (I think) happened Friday into Saturday in December somewhere between December 1984 and December 1986. Can anyone pull up data on this storm? I distinctly remember it was supposed to change to rain at night but never did, instead it tapered off to freezing drizzle and drizzle at the very end.
long range forecasting beyond a few weeks isn't a science, I can show you astrology "forecasts" that are more accurate, random chances are higher than its accuracy
hit 32 though like JFK did
but here's a delicate question, can it be considered a freezing day if the low is above 32.0? Because 0 C (actual freezing) is 32.0 F, not 32.2 or 32.4 or anything in between?
