1958 was a big wet snow event...the first storm was on 3/14/58...4" of wet snow...the 20th-21st was 12" of wet snow...1956 was 10 degrees colder...only April 1982 surpasses it as the latest blizzard on record...

the storm on March 18-19th, 1956 was a 12-20" blizzard across the area...40mph winds caused large drifts...the period March 12th, to March 24th had four snowfalls adding up to 26" at Newark...April 8th had another 3.4"... 3/12-13/56.....1.4" over night... 3/16-17/56.....5.7" heavy snow/sleet/rain and back to snow... 3/18-19/56...18.2" all out blizzard... 3/24/56..........0.7" cold front passage... 4/8/56............3.4" rain changes to wet snow...

The snow won out in 1982…canceled 3 games…

another coating in the year of the coating...

the last freeze day close to Newark NJ is around May 10th...after that you can get frost until the end of May... Newark mins... 5/1 36 in 1978 37 in 2008 38 in 1963+ 5/2 35 in 1943 39 in 1963 40 in 1978+ 5/3 39 in 2005 39 in 1957 39 in 1941 5/4 37 in 1941 38 in 1986 39 in 1957 5/5 38 in 1966 41 in 1978 41 in 1945+ 5/6 40 in 1967 40 in 1931 41 in 1992 5/7 38 in 1996 38 in 1970 41 in 1967 5/8 35 in 1947 37 in 2020 38 in 1956 5/9 33 in 1947 34 in 2020 37 in 1977+ 5/10 34 in 1947 35 in 2020 35 in 1966 5/11 36 in 1966 40 in 1937 41 in 1945 5/12 40 in 1938 42 in 1940 43 in 1990+ 5/13 37 in 1938 41 in 2020 41 in 1934 5/14 36 in 1939 40 in 1996 42 in 1947

1967 was up and down until the Summer...After an April Fools warm spell it got cold until June...NYC very rarely gets below 60 in July or August like it did in the past...in the Summer I can see highs range from 100 on a clear day to a cloudy 70 a few days later...minimums would be near 80 to near 60...

you're old enough to remember electric busses...maybe have electric only streets with overhanging wires like trollies had and the cars would have a long poll to the wires...something like bumper cars in a kids park...

they should change clocks on Friday night so you have two days to recover...

green energy means more money for the politicians...if you want everyone to have electric cars you better have the infrastructure to make electricity and a power grid that can take all the recharging...we are lucky to get through a summer without power failures...hybrid cars are the way to go now...I don't see all electric in the near future...

went from 44 and rain to 37 and mixed snow and rain in less than an hour...

I'm not ruling out an April slush event and cold spell before it gets very warm later in the month...

if the arctic oscillation goes negative at the end of the month Spring could start out interesting...80 one day...snow the next...

1996…1984…1974…1970…

I think March 29th is the day...it has snowed on that day many more times than the days before and after...

you can go back to January 2000 when they didn't measure after midnight making a 6" storm a 5.5" storm...Central Park averaged 29.9" of snowfall since 1990...it probably would be over 30" if the little ones were measured right...

mostly rain all day...

0.05” of precipitation will do that…heavy snow never made it up here.

Coney Island got 1.5" that day...flooding everywhere along the coast...

75

this guy knows more about cars than anyone...I watch his videos every day...

we have seen big storms with a neg pna and neg ao/nao...Feb 69 and Dec 2010 come to mind...nice to have the pna/nao/ao all in favorable like Jan 1996 but its not always that good...

the AO/NAO was so positive after mid December it's a miracle NYC got 17-20" and an 8-10" storm this year...

was March 1888 unavailable?...

you're thinking Feb 1920...but there was a storm in Feb 1921 that rivals the big ones...heavy wet snow and sleet accumulated 12"...very low 5 to 1 ratio storm...
