Roger Smith Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Did you know ... back in 1888 the people of New York City got a weather forecast from the U.S. Weather Bureau in Washington DC that was sent by telegraph. The blizzard of 1888 knocked down the telegraph lines so the newspaper never got the Sunday afternoon forecast calling for a heavy snowstorm! (also, The DC to NYC train got stuck in NJ in big snow drifts). So when it started to rain Sunday evening and that turned to snow, few had any idea what was about to happen (20 to 40 inches of snow across the region). But the storm WAS forecast by the existing technology (it had already started to snow in DC around forecast time and they had been tracking the snow moving northeast up the eastern seaboard. I happened to find out about this by reading the newspaper in question to satisfy my curiosity about the storm's forecast and impacts; it appeared from the Saturday paper's forecast that the usual practice was to issue a 24-hour forecast with a second day guess and that second day guess was something like rain turning to snow, no indication of severity. Partly because of this outcome, the Weather Bureau set up an office in New York City by 1895 and I guess the telephone was becoming more widely used every year too, so there were different ways of communicating the forecast to the newspaper. I think it's fair to say most Americans got a weather forecast from the daily newspaper only until maybe 1920 after which the radio began to compete as a source. This particular newspaper was published twice daily seven days a week in the morning and again before the supper hour. It would be in that second edition that New Yorkers would find their weather forecast. I checked some other forecasts later in 1888 and they were surprisingly good actually. Maybe the GFS worked better then. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winterweatherlover Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 5 minutes ago, NJwx85 said: Storms like this only happen once or twice a decade if we’re lucky. I had 22” from the storm in January but that was due to many hours of moderate snow with no wind. This one is truly special. Can’t recall ever seeing blizzard warnings this far inland. Personally I'd enjoy the 22 inches and moderate snow with no wind more but I get where people find these extreme storms exciting too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the GFS worked better then. yes there used to be morning and afternoon editions, and even different papers for morning and afternoon. i worked briefly at an afternoon paper back in the 80s, but by then it had started doing mornings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
