    Got numbers for Long Island, Ed? I think both JFK and LGA reached or exceeded 20"?

    funny thing about 93-94 was that the only two pure snow storms bookended that winter, the first storm was all snow and the last storm was all snow and everything in between was a mixture lol. I actually think that late season storms (after March 20th) tend to be more snow than ice.

    Ray's blog describes it well, it was a historic storm from your area to ours, since we're close to the same latitude we both got a lot of ice lol

    I think that might have been 1998 with the big freezing rain event up there. I'll quote it here also- I said 1.5-2 inches, there was no 2-4 inch ice storm here, as far as I can recall, ever. http://www.raymondcmartinjr.com/weather/1994/07-Jan-94.html It was well over 1" here on the south shore, I measured it myself (wasn't hard to measure, I had over 1.5" inches of a clear ice sticking to everything. There was very little wind, therefore no power outages and it looked rather beautiful outside. here we go Ice accretion from freezing rain exceeded 1 inch across much of central New Jersey, making this the worst ice storm in modern times across this part of the state There were only two pure snow storms out of all these events, the first and the last one. Snow storm, December 29-30, 1993 Ice storm, January 3-4, 1994 Ice storm, January 7-8, 1994 Snow and ice storm, January 17-18, 1994 Snow storm, January 25-26, 1994 Snow and ice storm, February 8-9, 1994 Snow and ice storm, February 11, 1994 Snow and ice storm, February 23-24, 1994 Snow and ice storm, March 2-3, 1994 Snow storm, March 18, 1994

    local forecast has temps just below freezing most of the week
  6. LibertyBell
    Yeah see the post from Famartin's blog, we got between 1.5-2 inches of ice, central NJ has a very similar climo to the south shore of western Nassau county

    I never said 2-4" LOL.....it was more like an 1.5-2" we got close to 2" of freezing rain here on the south shore of Long Island, it wasn't hard to measure, there was about that much of it sticking to my damn railings.
  10. LibertyBell
    Hopefully we get to see that fairy dust at some point this month, Ed! It was slippery this morning, I guess we had some freezing drizzle too.
  11. LibertyBell
    20" for eastern parts of the city in 1969
  12. LibertyBell
    thats amazingly sad that you need laws to get passed for people to be good and actually save others....this is exactly why we need regulations If left to their own devices, people usually wont be so considerate
  13. LibertyBell
    so maybe yet another even day event.... 12th, 14th, 16th, 18th and 20th, so make that a total of 5 possible events lol.
  14. LibertyBell
    yes that one and the one in March. The fact that both had a lot of sleet makes it seem like a lot more than the 10-12 inches of seasonal snowfall we actually had. Much more impact than that would normally be.
  15. LibertyBell
    Walt, how many storms in total are we talking about? 4? On the 12th, 14th, 16th and 18th? Let's keep it to even numbers to make it easier to remember lol.
  16. LibertyBell
    looks like it changes to rain here?
  17. LibertyBell
    In some ways it even exceeded 1996 (though 1996 wins for pure snowfall of course.) But the extreme cold in 1996 was more centered in the midwest, as the state record of -60 at Tower, MN is from that February. When Minnesota gets a state record in cold, you know that has to be some kind of cold lol- and that was after an extended thaw in January after the big blizzard.
  18. LibertyBell
    thats why I remember that event so vividly, it broke our January thaw and it was the first time I had seen grass in weeks, and then all of a sudden, BOOM! Vivid lightning and loud thunder and snow starting at a rate that I had never imagined before and it continued for 2 hours or more. Do you have any idea what the snowfall rates at JFK might have been? I think it was somewhere between 10 AM and 2 PM that it happened and I'll never forget it- went from bare ground to over half a foot of snow in like 2 hours!
  19. LibertyBell
    when I see so much blue on the map thats what I immediately think of. It's best to be just inside the outer edge of the blue or, since we're right in the middle of winter, in the white area between the blue and red anomalies
  20. LibertyBell
    and the storm on the 18th is now looking like snow to rain, Walt?
  21. LibertyBell
    I'm seeing comparisons to Feb 1994 (which also occurred on the same date), but much shorter duration and less extreme than that
  22. LibertyBell
    thats right, I remember that storm kept trending more and more north. Those were the two largest back to back snowstorms I've yet seen. Might have been some Pinatubo influence on that winter too?
  23. LibertyBell
    yeah if we truly had that extreme arctic air here it would very likely be frigid and dry with the storm track suppressed to the gulf coast and florida
  24. LibertyBell
    2001 was close (2000-01 la nina) 2000-01...-4.854...02/25/2001...Dec snowstorm... from Uncle How many la ninas have had a -5 SD at some point in the winter? I saw 10-11 is also in the list, but that one was in late December
  25. LibertyBell
    sounds like 2" likely for SW Nassau Don?
