Thanks! Do you have any data about that year in the 1860s where NYC got between 90-100 inches of snow, it was just before official record keeping started.
-
I saw a new statistic the other day, which is how long the snow season was. 2001-02 has the record because all the measurable snowfall that season occurred within about 16 days lol. This season ranks #3 (46 days.) Looks like we might have missed only the second time that the last freeze was in February by one day.
-
The other day the two records were 100 years apart..... 1888 and 1988 lol. Looks like 1888 had multiple record lows in March in the teens and single digits, even well after the big Blizzard. Different world then.....
-
looks like they wanna be outside! They'd rethink that if they saw a cat staring back at them.
-
weird that JFK had a foot of snow in March 1993- slightly more than NYC. I wonder what they would have had had it stayed all snow....the heaviest part of the storm was just getting going when we changed over. So Feb 1920 and Feb 1921 had back to back of those mixed monsters?
-
and thats how April will end up "warmer" than normal.
-
Looks like the 3-6 inch snowfall predictions didn't work out in the Poconos, all I saw there were 1-3" reports.
-
SE ridge is always there, just in different places. Sometimes you need it to maintain a snowy storm track rather than an offshore one.
-
so this is why -NAO are more common in the spring than they are in the winter.
-
the interesting thing from a statistical point of view is that - NAO seem to be much more common in the spring than they are in the winter. And they seem to last much longer during spring time too. I think Chris posted somewhere why the PV was so strong this year.
-
Surprised that 2001-02 isn't at the top of your list....it was the only winter with all three winter months >40 on avg!
-
The greatest sleet storm of all time must've been that three day affair in Feb 1922 that dumped 18" lol Funny that 2007 had two of the big ones.....with sleet storms being so rare. That second one got my door stuck lol.
-
For some reason -NAO seem to be much more common in the spring than they are during the winter. I'm looking forward to hearing why.
-
whats the reason this happens now and not during winter? that seems to be quite common
-
did you get any snow from the tax day noreaster?
-
include 88-89 and 89-90 in that list. damn the 80s and early 90s sucked lol
-
it's weird that the sleet mixed in further north- with all our tech these storms still throw curveballs at us
-
couldn't open my back door! had 5 inches of sleet after we had another sleetfest on V-Day!
-
just wait until we get a zombie virus! (yes there is such a thing and -currently- it only affects ants.)
-
too bad snowfall records dont go back just a little further, Don, didn't NYC record 90" to 100" in the mid 1860s?
-
Central Park undermeasured both storms and PD2 also.
-
NYC might have been undermeasuring in both cases. JFK received 26 inches in PD2 and 22 inches if I recall correctly in Feb 83. JFK should be considered part of NYC (I believe the highest total of all three NYC locations should be taken as the official snowfall total during snowstorms.)
-
I think Feb 83 and PD 2 were closer to Jan 1996?
-
Don, how low does this winter rank on the winter severity index? I would think it was near the bottom, I can only think of 1972-73 and 2001-02 being lower.
-
if we were evolving towards a La Nina wouldn't that make the summer even hotter? But it would mean a much less impressive winter next time.... Looks like we have the coldest temp of March coming for next weekend? I see the forecasts for mid 20s lows even down at the coast!
