This could be your big storm of the season. I think we just had ours and might not get another 3 incher this season, we'll see. -
It begins March 1st really. This pertains to urban areas. It's when the sun heats the concrete and asphalt enough that big snow accumulations (10 inches and higher) become less likely. We have had a 20 incher as late as the end of February but have not had a double digit snowfall in March in the urban areas. Thus, sun angle.

No, I wrote about this before it started to snow. The cold air was pressing in from the northeast, like it has in some of our famous suppression scenarios. Usually this factor plays against us in suppressive storms but in this case the cold air banked to the east kept it snow until the storm was basically out of here.
-
and pretty uniform 3-4 inches along the south shore of Long Island this wasn't a changeover storm, what kept amounts uniform was that the storm was out of here before any warming had an impact.
-
I like it cloudy after it snows, 1) it keeps the snow from melting so quickly and 2) it keeps snow blindness at bay.

Maybe it was an oversight. Can you file a complaint somewhere?

still looking for that elusive 4" snow storm in NYC
-
Is JFK just under 10", Don? 9.7" after adding in that last 3.4"?
-
D would have been the grade had NYC stayed under 10 inches of snow. It's safely in C- territory now and should get to C for NYC with the next storm. It can get to B with another storm later in the month.
-
Not offhand but I remember it was the second highest winter storm liquid equivalent in the city's history (after February 1920)-- now replaced by January 2016.
-
Thanks Tony, do you have one for February 1961 too?
-
same with February 1961 when JFK had 24.1 inches I think?
-
well, going by liquid equivalent is more reliable, February 1961 was 2.75 inches of liquid and 24.1 inches of snow at JFK.
-
so we mild up for spring at the beginning of March?
-
Central Park was undermeasuring back then too, both JFK and LGA got 20 inches in the Lindsey storm.
-
to be fair, last February JFK had a 4 inch snowstorm followed by a 6 inch snowstorm a few days later

Was there a snowfall total update? JFK snow amount updated to 3.4"....

I find the south shore gets more snow in el ninos, especially strong ones. Most of our 20"+ events here came in strong el ninos

3.7 at JFK based on that map
