Record stays at 69. Remains 9 calendar days with records <70.
Yeah, remember those 5-min obs are rounded to nearest Celsius degree from their actual Fahrenheit (so 69 became 20.6C which rounds to 21C which translates back to 70F).

maybe because the 28 years before 1993 had only 5 snowy winters and the 28 years since 1993 has 16 snowy winters...
Perhaps, but you don't often see 70 mph gusts in heavy snow at LaGuardia...

Odd that no one mentioned what was going on 28 years ago...

the first month I looked at was Feb 1894...it has 37.9" of snow but the snow depth doesn't add up and amounts are much higher than Central Park...Feb 1893 reported a storm of 17.8" on the 17th-18th and 32.0" for the month...snow depth was 10"...Central Park had 17.8" for the month...
Yeah the snowfall looks funky that month, like they made some estimates based on precip.

Not exactly "memory" lane for most here, but some may find it interesting that all data from the old NYC Weather Bureau station (the Battery) is now available at NCEI:

3.4" in Ewing. Certainly more than I expected before looking at yesterday's guidance. Here in NoVA we got 0.5", which is less than I expected before looking at yesterday's guidance. This is your winter, guys. We're getting ripped off repeatedly down here in DC.
0.28" melted out of the 3.4" snow.

Ewing is up to 4.9" but I think that may be the best they can do, starting to compact.

7" in Hopewell. Expectations = smashed.
Elevation helping a lot today.

4.2" in Ewing. We only got 2.3" at my house in LWX-land. You guys are winning by a mile this winter (not surprising given the La Nina)

3" in Ewing so far.

Ended up with 10" in Ewing. Liquid 1.62". Imagine if that was all snow and didn't include an inch or two of sleet.

Just past 6" in Ewing. Little dry slot sitting nearby has not helped them.

Walt Drag in his final tour lived in Sussex county..commuted to the mt Holly office. stayed in a hotel 3/4x nights a week...true story. Diamond hands Walt Drag for life.
I'd probably live in Jersey and work here in VA if that was feasible for me
Maybe one day...

Well where you are is a lot better than Elko. Love your avatar by the way.
Thanks lol. And yes it is. I'm not complaining. I'd love to be at Mt. Holly, but its a tough sell to lateral these days, and I'm probably not going to be a manager one day, so I'm probably here forever. Mildly disappointing, but I guess I'll live with it.

Get into Mount Holly.
You know I'd like to. But competition is fierce. And I'm a slacker, lets be honest. I could find some similarly nice spots if I was willing to drive farther every day (probably wouldn't be all that different of a commute length if I lived in the Sourlands and worked at Mt. Holly, since that's probably a good 40 minute drive at a good time of day).

Picked up a little in intensity but still poor growth so not really accumulating quickly. Up to 9" storm total in Hopewell, NJ. I guess if I can get to a foot, it'll be an alright storm all things considered...
Suprisingly less down in Ewing. You're in the borough I take it?

I'll just say near Oxford Valley, I like my anonymity and won't pinpoint where I live. As for light-moderate-heavy snow and whiteout conditions, I think a portion of this board over estimates what they see. There was a pic earlier that claimed whiteout, but with all due respect it wasn't whiteout. Heavy snow is visibility under 3/4 of a mile and I don't think Lower Bucks reached that criteria.
1/4 but I'm guessing you had a typo there.

Finally snow and passing 5" in Ewing.
Grading Winter 2021-22

Compared to "average", I'd give my final winter in NoVA a C. But, compared to what I've experienced the last 7 years, I'd say "B", because its been a relatively poor 7 years, with one NOTABLE exception in 2016. Maybe my departure will bring better winters for y'all.
