jm1220 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 So NYC has the most snow so far out of the 4 i-95 megalopolis. Has that ever happened before?2003-04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIK62 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Back to December deviations? The next 8 days(and maybe two more) figuring to be about +10degs. above normal. http://www.nws.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/mos/getmex.pl?sta=KACY&sta=KEWR&sta=KNYC&sta=KJFK&sta=KLGA NB: In addition I want to correct myself about a post I made yesterday regarding how warm Feb. must be to set a new winter (DJF) record. The correct amount is +5.7degs., not +2.7, assuming again Jan. is about +2 and Dec. we already know is +13.3. We need a total of 21 surplus degrees over the 3 months, not 18 (41.5-34.5) or 7degs/mo.. X 3 months =21. (21.0-15.3) or 5.7degs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JERSEYSNOWROB Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 This is the official list of cities in NJ that are considered Urban : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:New_Jersey_Urban_Enterprise_Zones You can't go by that necessarily because that designated zone set up by the state just helps economically depressed areas with less sales taxes. Vineland for example does have an urban center but is not just urban. It is also known for their pristine farmland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 If I could use one word to sum up the next 10 days or so weather wise around here it would be meh. The only possibly bright spot would be a chance at some heavy rain with the cutter next Wednesday but the low tracks so far West that we don't get into any of the WAA precip.

Got one huge storm already, and most mets are expecting cold and snow to return in second week of February. I'm willing to wait of it means more fun for the last month or 6 weeks of winter.

NYCGreg Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I'm still not sold on February over performing. It's possible you are correct. Even so, I'll take one historic blizzard and above average temps the rest of the winter over the garbage (both temps and mainly minor snow) we got last year. And that's knowing that we "over-performed" as far as snow totals go last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an okay Winter if you love consistent snow and snow cover, or extreme cold, otherwise it wasn't that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an okay Winter if you love consistent snow and snow cover, or extreme cold, otherwise it wasn't that good. Yep. And we'll see what February has in store for us. Starting with the second week, people are saying things could get interesting again. That doesn't guarantee anything, of course, but I guess it puts us in the game. While I'd like more snow, with the blizzard already in the belt (so to speak), I'll take what we can get rest of Winter. Maybe that's nothing; maybe it's a lot. Guess time will tell.

February is always interesting to watch since it's supposed to be our snowiest month, and usually has some of the bigger storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstorm93 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I wonder how many times in history this area had normal to above normal snowfall with just two storms. With the early to mid Feb pattern looking interesting, I think it's pretty likely. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still fully expect a heart break at the coast inland love storm as well.

It was an okay Winter if you love consistent snow and snow cover, or extreme cold, otherwise it wasn't that good. What? lol.. Last year was a very good year all around if you are a winter lover. Long lasting snowpack, Above average snows, cold frigid temps. You had way more than 35". Prob closer to 55-60". Go check out Toms (Isotherm) website..

gravitylover Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Last year could have been that much better if we hadn't tossed seven potentially good weeks at the beginning. I had 10" the day before Thanksgiving and then nothing until the third week of January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 10" the day before Thanksgiving and then nothing until the third week of January. That's why NYC still hasn't been able to challenge the 95-96 snowfall season with all the record snowfall of the 2000's. Even with all the historic snowfall of 2000's so far, it's very difficult to get wall to wall snowfall from late November through March. But the 30 to 60 day snowfall streaks have been off the charts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barely an inch of snow fell after mid February though. Many thought we were going to break the seasonal record...no dice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
