    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.
  2. 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.
  3. LibertyBell
    looks like it changes to rain here?
  4. 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.

    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!

    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
  7. LibertyBell
    and the storm on the 18th is now looking like snow to rain, Walt?
  8. LibertyBell
    I'm seeing comparisons to Feb 1994 (which also occurred on the same date), but much shorter duration and less extreme than that
  9. 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?
  10. 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

    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
  12. LibertyBell
    sounds like 2" likely for SW Nassau Don?
  13. LibertyBell
    I wonder if Feb 1934 was colder there.
  14. LibertyBell
    any chances of us finally having a widespread below 0 outbreak?
  15. LibertyBell
    what was happening in 1993-94 that caused so many storms all season and many of them being mixed/ice storms? JFK still got close to 50 inches so it was pretty amazing.

    in my other house in the Poconos we reached -22 and there was enough snow to cut my house in half (a two story house became a one story house lol).....I think that's still the record snowfall season at Allentown.

    As we're getting further and further away from it, we're realizing more and more how exceptional of a winter that truly was. It had everything, extreme arctic cold, big snowstorms, big ice storms, 30 storms for the whole winter, a storm every 3 days, the city ran out of salt, and if TWC had been naming storms back then, they would have run out of several alphabets worth of names haha.
  18. LibertyBell
    Walt, snowfall for 6 consecutive days on Long Island?
  19. LibertyBell
    Yes, the classic 1973 storm (or was it 1974?) Hard to find data on the biggest ice storms online unlike with snowstorms, unless you personally experienced them
  20. LibertyBell
    1 inch in 2 hours is pretty good
  21. LibertyBell
    I have a feeling we'll see more of both this season
  22. LibertyBell
    Hey neighbor, got one for my area? Looks like around 5" in the Hazelton area- I'm just east of that as you know. One storm can change a pattern- remember Boxing Day 2010?
  23. LibertyBell
    very 1994 like
  24. LibertyBell
    also lab creates artificial meat by using lab cultures of cow cells, uses 3D printer to mass produce, "new meat" will be in stores soon!
  25. LibertyBell
    you must not have been around in January 1994. There was 12-24 hours of freezing rain with temps in the single digits. I remember seeing a report out of Poughkeepsie..... "heavy freezing rain temp 3 degrees" !
