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!

I've done that too- in places where the humidity is low.

where is this snow coming from, I thought the storm was gone lol

lol I grew up when torch summers is all we had so I grew to love the records being set in hall of fame summers like 1991, 1993, 1995, 1999, 2002 and 2010. My favorite combo is to get a lot of snow in the winter and spring and then go directly to a hot summer. I keep the a/c on 24/7 in the summer at 60 degrees and the heat at 80 degrees in the winter so either way I have something on to control the temps and humidity levels indoors. If there was an ideal era for me it would be probably be going from winter 2009-10 through summer 2010-11.....we had two historic winters and two historic summers with a hurricane thrown into the mix. You could extend it further out since we also had Sandy and a couple more torch summers that hit 100 here as well as Snowtober 2011 and November 2012 and the 2013-14 and 2014-15 winters. Jan 2016 was the only time I've seen over 30" of snow in a single storm (and in 24 hours!) and that put a rubber stamp on that period. I guess you could just say that the first half of the 2010s was my ideal period for weather overall. Also, if you dont track historic heat in the summer, it gets rather boring around here lol.

yeah some of these people dont know basic math. Wind only comprises 10% of the power there and the outages were up around 50% lol Also, it's Texas- we expect this type of incompetency in Texas

wind is the scapegoat for those politicians who take bribes from the fossil fuel cartel. They belong in prison, all of them.

time for humanity to give up on modelology

1993-94 was in no way shape or form better than 1995-96. To be considered an A+ winter, in addition to having more than twice the average snowfall in a given location, it also has to have at least 1 20"+ snowstorm, so that puts 1995-96 and 2002-03 as the only A+ winters. 1996 and 2003 also both had big snowstorms in April which made those exceptionally long snowfall seasons. (2009-10 and 2010-11 are too for New York City in terms of getting the 20+ inch event but neither had a long snowfall season.) 1993-94 gets an A rating but not A+

I'm going to be talking about 100 degree heat come summer, you can book it! I hope we repeat the 11 yr cycle this summer and roast!

Oh okay, I thought that season followed the pattern of snowy December + mild January + snowy February and March. I guess it did but 9.1 is less than 10 inches....that still is a snowy December though and a memorable Xmas Eve!

hopefully the pink snow is signs of better times ahead for you and your wife my friend. I've only seen pink snow twice (once at sunrise in Jan 2004 and once at sunset in Feb 2009).

6-8 across long island

haha different world out there, we had full sun all day which is exactly what I wanted.
