You remembered! Do you have any pictures of that pink hue by any chance, Don? Jan 2004 I think? I wish I had taken pictures of it but I still remember it so vividly in my mind. We had a similar storm in Jan 2009....and in that occasion it was pink snow at sunset!
-
20 inches of snow this month? another 10 inches in March?
-
Jan 2004- do you remember that one? single digits....10-11 inches of snow? heavy snow at sunrise and the snow looking pink as it came down? -
Don do you remember the storm during the 03-04 winter when we had temps in the single digits and had ratios of 25:1 to 40:1 with LGA having an astounding 80:1 ratio? We had almost a foot of snow in that one. 11 inches at Far Rockaway if I remember correctly. Was that the one when we had heavy snow at sunrise and the color of the sunrise made the snow look pink as it came down?

I would have loved to stay up all night but there's not much to see when it's pitch black outside lol. I did stay awake from 3-6 and that was enough for me. Slept 11-3 and then 6-9.
-
what happened to the updated 9.7" total at LGA as well as all the other updated totals at 1 PM?
-
Didnt one of those storms in the 03-04 winter have an 80:1 ratio at LGA and 40:1 over the rest of the area? Temps were in the single digits and we got about 10-11 inches of snow.
-
1999 is an interesting analog, another one where we had a snowy January and a snowy March. I noticed that my area is usually in or near the jackpot if we have a big storm during a strong El Nino otherwise we are the snowhole of Long Island
-
Similar totals in northern Nassau too.
-
Sound enhanced, a similar thing happened in December 1995 when LGA had 14" and NYC had 8" and JFK had 7" ISP had 12" in that one.
-
lol good I guess they do measure end of storm totals but dont publish them until the full 6 hours is up. Too bad NYC total didn't go to 6" though..... I guess we can round 5.8" to 6.0" and call this a warning level storm for the city especially with the totals in Queens.
-
Is there a reason these people dont measure when the storm ends? Dont they pay these guys enough? NYC, LGA and JFK all have 7 am as their last measurement.
-
Has to be some sort of sound effect or sound enhanced impact. This was the perfect example. No chance of a changeover or any mixing so it can't be anything else. The only times that the south shore, specifically the western part of the south shore has had the most snow is during super el nino HECS...... great examples are Feb 1983, Feb 2003 and Jan 2016. Glad I got to experience a 30" + snowstorm here, it might never happen in my lifetime again.

You must've loved 93-94

This is a good reason for not giving out participation prizes. Either you win or you lose, "almost" is the same as losing.

Glad to see ENSO becoming more meaningless as time goes on, maybe people will now stop using it as a crutch in their long range forecasting.
-
much bigger just east of Manhattan
-
That was a big storm here on Long Island and let's not forget it created that horrible crane accident in the city. It was also a very snowy superbowl week.
-
One more? This was a moderate event for the most part. I say we see one twice as big as this one later this month and then maybe 1 moderate and 1 big one in March.
-
Good to see ENSO becoming more meaningless as time goes on this is a positive side effect of CC.
-
These links really need to be on the main page so people can find them easily.
-
That LGA total needs to be updated, 8.4" at 1 PM and it was still snowing then. That 5.5" figure at JFK also needs to be updated for the same reason.....Lido Beach's trained spotter reported 7.5"
-
How did they get so much? Sound effect snow? It started late here and ended early, it really was a 6 hour snowstorm here. Do you have any totals for this area? I got about 6" here
-
I slept from around 11 to about 3, watched it snow from 3 to 6 then fell back asleep at 6 and woke up at 9 to breaks of sun lol. Just our typical snow event.

2021-2022 ENSO
