Yep, that one reminded me of the February 2008 SWFE. It was key that they happened mostly at night and came in with a wall of snow.

Yes, some of these storms from the 80s sound very familiar. note-- the amounts were slightly higher back then (colder)? WINTER OF 1984-85 Feb. 5, 1985 - The biggest snow of the winter began this evening and continued through next morning, accumulating 5.7". 3.3" of the snow fell tonight. This came three days after a snowfall of 4.3". After this snow just 0.2" fell for the rest of the winter. WINTER OF 1985-86 Feb. 11, 1986 - The second 4.5" snowfall in the past four days occurred today and occurred between daybreak and noontime. These two small snowstorms accounted for most of the winter's thirteen inches of snow (half of the typical amount).

The gradient is different with each storm. For SWFE it's north of here For suppressed systems it's south of here This area does not benefit from gradient patterns because these kinds of tracks don't give significant snowfalls in this area. Add to that for coastal areas being near the ocean makes it even worse for SWFE
-
inland regions are less susceptible to gradient patterns aren't they?
-
Maybe it wasn't a gradient pattern for them but it is for us because we have an ocean to our south.
-
I think it's smart to cut amounts in half.
-
it will still run tonight?
-
we have to get within 5 days for anything to be considered meaningful and within 48 hours to pin down details -
Let's do it on Sunday when it's 55 degrees and raining lol, something to look forward to.
-
is that 3.2 on Long Island from Babylon?
-
least snowiest winter with a mean temperature below 35.0 in over 30 years, Don.
-
are we switching to a predominantly +PNA cycle now?
-
much less snowy than any of those winters too, from what Chris said, this is the least snowy winter in over 30 years with an average temperature below 35.0
-
is it also the coldest winter with no 4 inch events? If we do somehow get one major snowstorm just before the season ends 2008-09 will be a great analog for this winter.

LibertyBell replied to The 4 Seasons's topic in New York City Metro
our entire area is in double digits now -
14-15 was a superior winter down here to 13-14 (too many mixed events)
-
suppression is also a concern for next week, Walt
-
nice to see the JFK amount went up, was that still on 0.21 liquid?
-
peak was 3.0 in eastern long island on 0.31 liquid
-
you can't consider Philadelphia in the MidAtlantic this season, their snowfall deficit is as bad as New York City's. The entire coastal city corridor from Philadelphia to Boston is in a 7-8 inch snowfall deficit. Philadelphia only has 7.5 inches of snow this season.
-
it would be great if we could figure out what causes the repetition in the same season even with different index values lol
-
but a very sharp cut off just to our south. I remember being jealous of Boston because they got all the snow early in the season while we just had ice. Our turn came in February.
-
hopefully we get a storm out of it, one good storm is all we need
-
mother nature remembers..... whatever caused it then is still there and will cause it again
-
Unfortunately, someone always seems to be in a snow hole. Winters like 95-96 and 02-03 are extremely rare, there were no snow holes in those winters.
