The Jan 82 storm caused a plane to go down in the Potomac. I recall the April of 82 storm as being rather extraordinary, in many different ways, but disappearing fast. I don’t recall the Jan of 82 storm as being bad on LI. I could very well be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Logan measurement was what was actually measured and not a typo but it was a joke. I had about 1.5"-2.0" at my place. From what I've been told, the person who does the official measurement for Logan is located in Winthrop, MA which is east of Logan Airport and right on the ocean. They might have in fact on measured 0.1 at their place in Winthrop but areas JUST east of there got a lot more than 0.1" including Downtown Boston. The actual city probably got around 2" while areas a few miles west got a lot more. Unfortunately, as far as records go, it goes down as 0.1" for that storm Seems he'd be skewing the records for his location if he took a measurement from downtown Boston instead because they got more snow. I think your beef is with the location for a record representing Boston, not with the quality of measurement at that location. Downtown Boston gets more snow than Winthrop; most of us understand that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occasionally we can get highly anomalous cold months (Feb 2015) and even cold winters like 13/14 & 14/15 but those are the exceptions. I think snowfall will average AN for another decade or so, but then the warming climate will quickly overwhelm us and drastically reduce our averages. Keep drinking the kool-aid. LOL. Between the naturally cooling cycle we are entering combined with an extremely quiet sunspot minimum, I'm confident that will overwhelm the 1 extra molecule of CO2 added per 10k molecules of air that is forecast to lead to our planetary demise. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um...what cooling cycle? The temperatures for the past few years have been anything but cool. This summer alone set records for highest and most sustained dews with record warm minimums.

They doused the roads here too. Just went out to get gas and the wetness on the roads combined with the salt to create a brine solution that coated the car. The overcompensation is ridiculous, but we knew it was coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like they couldn't tackle the big snowstorm when it came so they picked a little flurry burst to lay down salt for. It's like they got beat up by the big guy and are now picking on the little kid that just happened to walk by to make themselves seem strong. I have a feeling they're going to be proactive for the rest of the snow season. Regardless of the forecast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downtown Boston gets more snow than Winthrop; most of us understand that. At the same time, our local area airports dont have a great track record with snowfall measurements either lol. A snowstorm where JFK measured half an inch comes to mind, where the measurement was made less than halfway through the snowstorm and we had snow plows out and around 4" of snow.

I don’t recall the Jan of 82 storm as being bad on LI. I could very well be wrong Those were the only two events of note that year, The 80s were characterized by having very cold Januarys but below average snowfall. We would have cold and dry interrupted by mild and wet, rinse and repeat. The storms were never timed well with the arctic shots unless it was like a 2-4" event. The only 12+ snowstorm was Feb 1983. 2 feet of snow with that one here on the south shore. The April 1982 storm was historic for intensity and also for historic April cold with temps in the upper teens during and after the storm. It's not well remembered but we actually went below zero on Christmas 1980 with a dusting of snow. Below zero temps in December are very rare in the modern era. Jan 1985 on Reagan's inauguration day was the coldest day I've ever experienced here with a low of -2 and a high of 7 degrees. Jan 1994 we got to -2 also but made it to 10 as a high.

I remember the April of 82 storm because of the bright sun and the melting occurring the next day-I don’t recall lots of cold beyond. The feb of 83 was incredible. I do recall some cold temps—-Reagan’s inauguration was bitter-a few blasts of arctic cold but mostly dry and cold as a whole during the decade. 2-4 inches seemed as like it was our range on LI-very rarely exceeeding it. Not at all like today where an 8+ inch event is normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
