Stormlover74 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I was in high school then and i do not remember it that way. I remember the winter of 97/98 and it's great rainy nor'easter but I do not remember the rest being so snow free. 96-97 and 98-99 had no major events except for the April fools 97 interior bomb of course. Jan 2000 had that surprise storm but warnings were not up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwcMan Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I've posted this before, from March 96- December 2000 NYC wasn't under a winter storm watch one time. Several winter weather advisories were issued but no watches and no winter storm warnings were ever out in that stretch. Shows you not only didn't we get any major storms but we didn't even have any that looked like they'd be major a day or two out The city didn't get a watch for April fools 97?

Snowshack Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 the seasonal average of winters where nyc made it to jan 15th with under .1" of snow is 11" Isnt the average after Jan 15th only around 15" anyway? Sounds like a near shutout through 1/15 doesnt really impact the back half of winter totals.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherpruf Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The city didn't get a watch for April fools 97? Probably not as it did not snow here. I have worked in public schools for nearly 30 years and remember snow days, as well as snows that arrived during holidays ( Dec 2010 Boxing Day, PD 2003 ) fairly well. Did not have a snow day until March 1993...and I started in 88...after March 96 did not have a snow day until 2001, a half day ( Dec 2000 storm was during a holiday ) in Feb.....Starting in 2003 came a string of winters with big snows, ending with Feb 2006. 07, 08, and 09, all featured minor storms...2010 featured some big ones but nothing on the scale of DC-Philly, 10-11 was epic then we started losing days to hurricanes....the weird weather started with the October snow in 11 and it has gotten weirder ever since....bottom line, it is entirely possible to see little snow not only this year but for several years or more in a row.....and was the norm in the 80's....

Sounds like a near shutout through 1/15 doesnt really impact the back half of winter totals.. Statistically though, it does matter, as a snowless Dec is usually followed by well below average winters. Last year was an exception, but let's face it, all but 3 of the storms were lame...

Jan 2000 had that surprise storm but warnings were not up and the Jan 2000 storm wasn't much here, I remember it well because my father died and the wake was during the storm, and it was not enough snow to keep people from coming to pay their respects. Just lost mom in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most of my career I worked in inner cities, so to be fair they call fewer snow days in general. Prefer not to reveal my current employer since the nature of my work is confidential. But I don't mind you asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 That pattern would be an ice box compared to what December was and would be easily possible to get a snow event out of. I think I said this a few weeks ago, the pattern late on the GEFS/EPS looks more or less Jan-Mar 2005 like to me. U sure about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up with around 5-6 inches in Woodbridge. A transformer blew down the street while I was outside shoveling the next morning. Few days later, most of the snow melted.
