March 20-23 if past history is to be any guide (and it should be, as storms seem to cluster around specific dates.)

who?

How much did NYC get in the April 1956 snow, Don? and wow Philly got that much snow in April 1990? How much did JFK get? Looks like that was a southern storm? I remember 89-90 for the odd cold dry December followed by record warm January and February and what can only be described as a heat wave in the middle of March! and March 2015? wasn't that a cold February and March and we had a single digit low just before March 1st and an 8 inch snowstorm in March?

yes that storm wasn't well predicted. If you extend it to March 20-23, didn't we have one in March 1994, a 4" to end that season? I remember a few seasons that had their last measurable snowfall in that period right near the equinox. March 2015 should be on this list too.

March 1996 was highly underrated, didn't we get 3x 4" snowfalls that month? And then another one on April 10th!

If snow was covered in tarp would that protect the snow cover (and also lessen this damn fog?)

28 actually remember 2 of those occurred on February eve lol

This can come back.....it's not even that far off.

I saw a map on TV that showed where snowfall had risen, where it had stayed the same and where it had decreased. It seemed to coincide with similar rises and falls in total annual precipitation- where it snows of course.

So the actual numbers never seem to rise as much as the decade to decade change. I wonder if at some point the 30 yr norms will rise at a heightened pace.

which decade has represented the greatest rise in temperatures, Chris? was it this one? I mean this most recent one that ended

I dont think this will ever change regardless of what ENSO state we're in.

looks like next winter will be a neutral? I think most of the snow season is done on the east coast, so just looking back on it, looks like above normal snowfall occurred Philly on north while it was below normal Baltimore on south.

Yeah this is what happens when you dont abide by federal regulations, they are there for a reason.

nuclear+renewables is the best combo. I see we now have automated vehicles mining for materials at the sea floor, so this should lessen the carbon footprint you mentioned. Thats why I think the pandemic sounded the death knell for the fossil fuel cartels, it was nature's way of fighting back against the virus that is humanity and its overpopulation of the planet which has destroyed the environment and resulted in a mass extinction event for most other species. We've reached a tipping point and once any species becomes too dominant, it goes bye bye or gets severely reduced- that's how the system is built to work. To "beat" this system and reach a new overhead, you'll eventually have to colonize space. Hence all the investment in space going on by billionaires.

I'd muchhhhhhhhhhhhhh rather have the snowy February than the "snowy" March When was the last time we had 20" of snow in March lol. Interesting with over 2 ft of snow this February and it's still only the 5th snowiest since 2003. Of course we should also include the 2" that fell on February 1 eve but that's another story. How come 2014-15 isn't on either of these lists? That had a nice JFM combo!

Yeah just hearing him talk about enso makes me want to dump all the plastic in the world right into the Pacific and end enso forever so no one ever uses it anymore because the Pacific Ocean is just a big heaping pile of trash.

My favorite was March 2009, with March 2015 right behind it.

also after 1983 8 inches was a big deal and until 1993

That April storm was my favorite, even though the late March event had more snow (the April storm was 6" pure snow while the late March storm was 8" slop changing to snow.)

it's also all this damned urbanization. Hopefully the green movement gets rid of the concrete.

media coverage of the mountains is frustratingly bad. Watch NEP or any of the other networks and they behave like the mountains dont even exist in their forecasts or that they're only a place to go skiing not where people actually live lol. Snowcover is actually closer to 30" I'll be posting some pics, I just have to sort through them. edit I cant post a 4.4 mb image?

also probably the worst noreaster of all time for NYC and Long Island. Although I think 1888 and 1922 might also be in the running.

I would bet it's the first time since 1993-94 which was their record winter.

Wait 1977 had three heat waves peaking over 100 degrees? Oh I wasn't talking about 1966, I wish I was alive then that would've been my favorite summer of all time (before 2010 of course.)
