I think that was the Feb 4th storm when the city banned traffic...The schools were closed for snow on Dec 12th-14th...Jan 20th...Feb 5th-7th...we had to make up those school days in July 61...

wow any casualties with these? and what were the snowfall amounts with them?  

My uncle who was a cop in 1961 told me about a plane crash he had to go to on January 19th, 1961 during the JFK inaugural storm...who would want to take off in a blizzard?...it was aborted but there was four crew deaths...the airport was called Idlewild but changed to JFK after Kennedy's death...

plane skidded off the runway at JFK and into the Bay on the second day of the storm when it switched back to snow and was snowing pretty heavily during the day

three day storm

we never got the predicted 15-20 but didnt care much when we got more than that in the Jan blizzard lol  but this storm was underrated and there was still snow and ice on the ground and on the roads from this storm when we got the big blizzard

I'm gonna look up how many plane crashes there was during a snowfall...off the top of my head was...

Feb 1st 1957...plane crash in Rikers Island during a snowstorm...

Dec 16th, 1960...mid air collision during snow and fog,,,

Mar 22nd, 1992 LGA...

I remember this like it was yesterday but watching these videos makes it seem like it was a long time ago lol....how does that happen?

 

my son was five and my daughter eight...man the time flies when you're having fun...

It was mostly a snow event. After an initial thump we had freezing drizzle in the afternoon followed by heavy snow at night but I do recall ice pellets mixing in even during the heaviest snowfall. Still had 9" and a white Christmas 

I had some sleet and freezing drizzle in the middle of that storm...

This fall so far is much more Pacific dominant than 2017 was. We had the record early November Arctic outbreak that year. This year is all Pacific and continental airmasses with no Arctic cold.

 

its been cold without arctic air...

It has been traditionally, but I think that's changing.  Before 1996, big January storms ( > 10 inches) were few and far between.  I think if you compare double digit events we're seeing a transition towards them occurring in January more often, especially the really high end events ( > 20 inches).  Before January 1996, I can't find any 20 inch January events.

 

before January 1996 there weren't many 20" storms in any months...the blizzard of 88 in March and the Dec 1947...Feb 1961 had over 20" in a few spots but not in Central Park...but the Big Snow came in January 1836...possibly up to 3ft of snow fell...

1836 big snow...

I might have confused those lol....I think it was the January 1987 snowfall I was thinking about that I remember the measurement from but juxtaposed that with the December 1984 snowfall lol.  Uncle, do you have JFK snowfall totals from both those storms (December 1984 and January 1987) and the dates they occurred on?  There's also a LGA 7 incher in there somewhere which I remember because we had just moved to a new house and the door got stuck when I got home from school and I couldn't get inside....the snow started around 3 in the afternoon and got heavier by 6  and snowed until the next morning.  I don't remember the totals from the city or JFK for that one but I remember LGA got 7"

Hey I have a question thats been nagging at me....there was a nice sized December snowfall back in the 80s I just don't remember what year.

It was an 8.6" snowfall (for some reason that number sticks out to me) and (I think) happened Friday into Saturday in December somewhere between December 1984 and December 1986.  Can anyone pull up data on this storm?  I distinctly remember it was supposed to change to rain at night but never did, instead it tapered off to freezing drizzle and drizzle at the very end.

 

Dec 1984 had a 4.8" snowfall ending as drizzle in later December between heat waves...85 and 86 had very little snow...8.6" fell in January 1987 ending as drizzle...

Do you remember the snowfall more or the experience at the dentist lol

 

its funny you say that because I didn't go back to a dentist till 1977 when I had to...I was consumed with that snowfall and every other one that year...that winter was great...I had a street light across the street and a tree branch in front of my vision...I can't tell you how many times I looked at that light to see snow falling at night...

trust me it's a helluva lot better than December 1989

 

it would have felt a lot better if we got a snowstorm New Years day 1990...when your biggest snowstorm of the season comes in November it usually means the rest of the winter wasn't that good...
