snowman21 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 November was -3.8F with 4" of snow at Central Park, so you have to factor that in as well. Winter is defined as December-February. If you don't stick to the definition of "winter" it becomes hard to compare one location's winter to another's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Winter is defined as December-February. If you don't stick to the definition of "winter" it becomes hard to compare one location's winter to another's. Obviously I understand that meteorological winter is DJF, but there's more to it. When I look at grading and classifying winters, I look at the entire cold season. To determine a start and end, I basically ask myself two questions: When did I take out and put my winter jacket away? When did the first and last snowfalls occur? Having November check in at -4F with 8.5" of snow here makes this a much better winter because that significantly extended the cold season. I had snow on the ground for a few days in early November, as well as another event, and significant cold shots after Sandy and again later in the month. Thus, November became part of the winter this year as we had days in the 30s and 40s with snow, which is by definition wintry weather. When I walked to work, I was bundled up. When I came home at night, the heat was on and I had snow in my backyard. Not accounting for the extremely cold and snowy November and just calling the winter a "torch" is misleading because of what actually happened. Winters like 57-58, 59-60, and 66-67 would look extremely bland on paper if you didn't count March. March 1960 had a 28" blizzard here. March 1958 had two snowfalls near 12". March 1967 had brutally cold temperatures and a major snowstorm, and snow continued into late April that year with 0.2" falling downtown on 4/24/67. Do March temperatures and snow not count either because they're not part of meteorological winter? Again, that's rewriting history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 If you are using strict definitions of meteorological winter...then you use DJF...if you are giving the whole "winter" (as in cold/snow season) a grade, then I usually go beyond the endpoints of met winter...which is almost always a necessity here given the snow climo.

nzucker Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 This winter was incredible....warm and extremely SNOWy, really can't say how epic it really was. Looks like a dixie delight inbound! It wasn't that amazing here so far...37" on the season. The one storm makes your average a bit inflated compared to surrounding areas, and also makes it seem like the winter had a snowier cast than it really did. There were weeks and weeks in December and January with nothing on the table. My grade for the winter is a C. If we get a decent March, which I think we will, that can be revised.

nzucker Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 22.5 inches here for the season, so if we're done with snow, we will finish a good half foot below normal. I'm surprised you got so little...we had 17" in the blizzard, and some people just east like Scarsdale had closer to 20". How much fell in Greenwich? Also, did you miss the 3.5" we got on 12/29 or the other late December events? That total seems low. I would think you average close to 35" depending on exactly where you are. In any case, I doubt we are done. I think we get one major storm and one moderate event in March, with the second event occurring in the 15-20th time frame when the Aleutian Low/+PNA is forecast to develop.

I'm on the water, so I average about 28 inches I would estimate. The Stamford 5N co-op averages 31, and I'm definitely below that, but do better than LGA obviously. We had 15 inches in the blizzard and were sitting at 7.5 before that. The November storm dropped 4 which was the second biggest storm of the season if memory serves correctly.
