Just rain there?

Wasn't it -14° in Sparta this morning. Maybe not a record for the day but impressive.

I would agree. There have been numerous March storms with 10+ surrounding the park since 1993, and they've come within 1.5-2.5 inches 3 times in the last 10 years.

March 21, 2018 was the closest at 8.4 inches. March 1-2, 2009 at 8.3. The March 14 2017 you reference was 7.6, March 5 2015 was 7.5 Those four are the closest to cracking 10 inches in March since the superstorm of 93.

You're thinking of the November 15, 2018 storm of 6.4 inches which is on the list at No. 162. The April 2, 2018 storm they measured 5.5 in the Park, the same at LGA, JFK was less 3.7.

Good point, Superstorm of 1993 the last one. This is the breakdown by month, historically for 6 inch storms. No. 6 + inch snows by Month, NYC Central Park 5 2.6% November 38 19.4% December 49 25.0% January 66 33.7% February 31 15.8% March 7 3.6% April 196 100.0% Total

Yes will post it in a few.

It's a list I've kept updated in Excel for years. I originally created it from the NWS site maybe 15 years ago and have updated it myself over time with every new storm that makes the list. I actually keep the list of all 6 inch plus storms for Central Park location. There are 196 such storms since 1869, more than 1 per year on average. We should have a celebration when the Park gets number 200. That may be difficult with the way they usually under measure. The last several years especially.

If you lowered the list to 8 inch storms there are 117 such storms in NYC since record keeping began in 1869.

This list is missing a lot of 12+ snows in Central Park. It lists 28 when there are actually 39 since 1870.

-11 in Montgomery at Orange County airport.

-4 forecast low was 2.

Those Legoland temps always seem suspiciously high. Hard to believe it's 6 above there and -10 in two other locations surrounding it, Chester and the Goshen station. What would make them 16 degrees higher? -3 here.
