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

this is way better than cold and rainy too

3.7 at JFK based on that map

over 10 now, 10.9 I think

JFK is usually the lowest only in mixed storms, in all snow event noreasters it's usually the highest (Feb 83, PD2, Jan 2016). LGA is in a commercial area and usually hotter than the others

3-5 is much more likely based on the speed of the northern stream. There will no 8 inch amounts from this storm ANYWHERE just like there were none from the last storm ANYWHERE either.

just last year, we had 4 inches followed by 6 inches in the same week in February

https://x.com/rawsalerts/status/1888291077746020626 NASA officials now report a 2.4% chance of an asteroid striking Earth in 2032, up from 2.3% few days ago. This equates to a 1 in 42 chance of impact, with a 97.6% likelihood that the asteroid will miss. The asteroid is estimated to be between 130 and 330 feet in diameter.

back to back 3-5 inch events would be nice to see

Philadelphia and Boston both have a higher probability of 4" than NYC does

think it will break NYC's 4" snowless streak or will it fall just short? Getting back to back 3" snowfalls within a few days of each other is still something.

a southbased block again?

almost 20:1 ratio lol

the anniversary of the Lindsey storm (20" at JFK and LGA) and also of the great 1899 and 1934 arctic outbreak

wow I guess we only got wind from this? 1987 - A storm off the Atlantic coast produced high winds and heavy snow in the northeastern U.S., with blizzard conditions in eastern Massachusetts. Wind gusted to 80 mph and 23.4 inches of snow produced drifts eight feet high at Cape Cod MA. It was the worst blizzard in thirty years for the Cape Cod area. Winds in some of the mountains and ridges of the Appalachian Region gusted to 100 mph. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) and it's the anniversary of the coldest morning in tristate area history in 1934 as well as the great arctic outbreak in 1899!!! Lows: EWR: -14 (1934) coldest observed/recorded at EWR since 1930 NYC: -15 (1934) 1899: One of the most significant cold outbreaks to ever impact the United States occurred early to mid-February. From the 8th-11th, the statewide average temperature across Iowa was 14.6 degrees below zero, making it the coldest four-day stretch on record in the state. On the 8th, Sioux City experienced its coldest day on record, with a daily average temperature of 24 degrees below zero. Then on the 11th, they reached their second-coldest temperature on record with a low of minus 31. Overall the coldest readings were obtained on the morning of the 9th when reported low temperatures included -21 at Keokuk, -23 at Des Moines, -33 at New Hampton, -35 at Le Mars, -38 at Estherville, and -40 at Sibley. The cold across the middle of the country was so extreme and persistent that ice floes down the Mississippi River into the deep south, emerging into the Gulf of Mexico near New Orleans on February 17th. This has happened only one other time: February 13, 1784. The temperature dropped to 63 degrees below zero at Norway House, Manitoba, Canada setting the province's low-temperature record. 1933 - The temperature at Moran, WY, located next to Teton National Park, plunged to 63 degrees below zero to establish a state record. The temperature at the Riverside Ranger Station in Montana dipped to 66 below zero to establish a record for the state, and a record for the nation which stood until 1954. (David Ludlum) 1934 - The mercury dipped to 51 degrees below zero at Vanderbilt to establish a record for the state of Michigan. The temperature at Stillwater plunged to 52 degrees below zero to establish a record for the state of New York. (David Ludlum)

we could have back to back 4" events, we got this last February too.

almost 48 hours of snow wow!!

Here are a few observations from our climate sites as of 1 AM: NYC (Central Park): 3.1" EWR: 3.0" LGA: 3.6" JFK: 3.1" ISP: 4.0" (As of 12AM) Here at the office on Long Island, we received 4.4" as of 1AM. ❄️Please send us your snowfall measurements!❄️

it was a consistent 3-5 inches, JFK and NYC got the exact same amount, which is interesting. I think all our stations are now at or near double digits?

wow so the lightning actually hit the snow and melted it? how fascinating!

I wrote this before the storm even started that eastern areas might do better because cold air was banked to the east, so the same thing that normally causes suppression would actually help in making it snow longer. The further east you went the more snow you'd get.

it's been a very long winter

My first experience with thundersnow and extreme snowfall rates! It's why I love daytime snow so much!
