I think we'll get to 40" even in a mild pattern another 2" wouldn't be that rare

cloudy and rainy is not my idea of a good time

as long as it doesn't rain I dont mind.

hey today's snow was nice, rather unexpected here for a few hours around mid day and it stuck to everything. Next week might be mild but it looks yucky and rainy all week- definitely NOT what I want

If we have a neutral next winter, do you think it will be a 89-90 type winter?

We're already in the Anthrocene, where humanity is killing off all other species, besides the ones we farm or keep as pets.

93-94 was the winter of record at ABE - it still is, I think? But it was close between 93-94 and 95-96 I dont know how the hell JFK only recorded 69 inches in 1995-96 looks like some mismeasuring going on there, and that includes the 4-5 they got in the April storm too. I was measuring snowfall that year on Long Island and recorded 83 inches. LOL@BGM's totals.....thats about as close as you can get!

lol we get that at my other house, there is a channel dedicated to 24 hr weather and it has the old graphics and forecasts and the music too. I wonder how they managed to do that?

but is that a nina pattern emerging or the fact that we had a -AO for so long it simply had to go positive at some point? Seems like AO drives our patterns more than any of these other indices do. So this might be a +AO pattern emerging not a nina pattern emerging.

my favorite March was 2015, which continued the amazing backside of winter that started in February.

were 1955-56 and 2017-18 more "nina like"? also in terms of widespread cold, were March-April 2018 much colder than the country as a whole had this season?

hey just for fun, can you post what 1899 looked like? since many want to compare this arctic outbreak to that one

the funny thing was that entire week was cold and we had another daytime snow event a week later! I wonder what was going on back then to make it so cold so late?

yesss cant forget about 10-11 even the 98 we hit in September wasn't humid at all. And the winter that came after was memorable in every respect. FWIW I distinctly remember Sundog, who notoriously hates summer heat say that the 100 degree days that July didn't even feel like 90 let alone 100. He thoroughly enjoyed it and said every summer day should be like that.

super hot but not that humid, my favorite kind of summer lol

two separate periods of flurries that each lasted a few minutes?

Looks like I was right about the 50s though, that was when the previous record was?

how long did it snow for in Brooklyn and was it during the day and did it accumulate?

I dont think warm is how most will think of this winter, not with whats gone on in the South. It's been a historic winter.

Summer of 2010 here we come (hopefully)

Maybe for Suffolk County lol, but for NYC and Western Nassau getting to 40"- and we're close- will be a big win. This track has been just fine for us, any mixing waited for when the precip was very light. We've had FOUR 6"+ storms here in SW Nassau, I dont think that's happened since 1995-96.....

if it's heavy it can stick right away even in April.....remember April 2003 and April 2018! 6-8 inches of snow all during the day!

Maybe this will become semi-permanent going forward? FWIW this is similar to the 50s, look at the long duration storms we had in March 1956 and February 1958 as well as all the hurricanes near the coast.

I remember a few Springs where March started out mild and ended up cold and even had snow in early April

Yesss the only earthquake I ever experienced and it was right in the middle of the afternoon. That was an awesome experience, never felt anything like that before! We also had a 10" rainstorm in that same month August 2011, so we had a 104 in NYC, 109 in EWR in July, and then a 10" rainstorm (I think that was on a Saturday) in August and then that earthquake and then Irene towards the end of the month. I also forgot to mention a few notable severe weather outbreaks and tornadoes thrown into the mix in 2009 and 2010. Funny thing is back in 1944 we also had a 5.8 earthquake (same magnitude as the one in 2011, but the 2011 was centered in Virginia and the one in 1944 was centered in upstate NY) followed by the famous 1944 hurricane. Back in 1944 when the quake happened, air raid sirens went off and people thought we were being attacked!
