The one the Rams just bought themselves.

There needs to be a protest, there's one for just about everything else, why not this?

It did. Sir Don posted a story about it, basically a front stalled just south of here and a narrow area between EWR and Long Island got the goods. You guys in the boonies got zip LOL

Ed, remember the neverending frontal snowstorm from the early 90s when it snowed for 36 hours and finally started sticking at night and we ended up with 8 inches lol?

There was a storm like this back in February sometime in the early 90s. It was supposed to just be a frontal passage with rain changing to snow and ending, well it ended up snowing all day with temps of between 33-34 and it only stuck on grass but then it snowed all night too and got heavier and we got 8 inches in a narrow band from Newark to NYC through Long Island and it snowed for 36 hours straight! One of my all time favorite storms and a complete surprise, as no accumulation was expected. A low formed along the front and stalled SE of the Hamptons.

Yep it stretches back to Philly and there is heavier snow about to move into Manhattan! At this rate, this might keep going until midnight, down to 29 degrees here with a windchill of 17!

This was supposed to be an offshore storm-- turns out Allentown had the most from that list and my home in the Poconos had close to 7 inches lol. Still snowing here and 4 inches of snow, might end up around 4.5

No point in that, when it snows at night you can't see it fall, so it's no fun taking pictures in pitch darkness.

it also has to do with how well concrete absorbs and stores heat.

Most of us just want to have a snow day, have you ever been to the city or even urbanized long island or NJ? "snowcover" means nothing to anyone who lives here, the stuff is dirty by the next day and slushy and just EW. There have been plenty of snow events between March 20th and April 10th, as a matter of fact, our latest accumulating snowfall is usually somewhere in that time period. Probably no 10" storms, but there is no reason a 6" storm can't happen in that time frame, maybe even two.

Some of those years had April snowstorms too!

when you get a fat pitch to hit, you have to hit a HR, you likely wont get other chances.

ever think of putting dry ice down on the concrete rclab?

It was a mighty snow season and often ignored in favor of 1960-61.

1966-67 may have been our greatest back end winter. 2014-15 and 2017-18 were pretty good but not to 1966-67 levels.

Yep it's reaching back to Brooklyn now.

Why dont they just put a slab of dry ice outside and measure the amount of snow that falls on that? I'm serious-- that would actually measure the amount of snow that fell from the sky as opposed to the amount that was the result after melting.

What time do you think it was the heaviest and what time did we have max snow cover do you think?

If only we could've gotten in March 2014 what we got in March 2015 (or March/April 2018).....

Haha the quoting thing happens because I use ten browsers and some of them don't do multiquotes properly. I have the following 10 installed right now: 1 Opera 2 Firefox 3 Ice Dragon 4 Bravo 5 Iron 6 Edge 7 GX 8 Avast 9 Inlog 10 Chrome There's a few others but I don't use them regularly.

Yep, because we all remember March 2014

Too bad my volume of posts in science/tech, politics and climate change will probably suppress the chances of that. If you haven't seen Ant's posts in politics, you're really missing something, he's lapping the field by a mile (with the possible exception of Naso.)

True, I'm looking at it as "if it didn't snow anymore after this" but it looks like March could be more promising than we earlier thought.

my sheer volume of posts (especially in the science/tech forum) will sadly hold me down.

The birds love this snow, I see lots of cardinals playing in it outside (and drinking from it.)
