Not that this will ever happen, but this mix line isn't SE of 95, it's for anyone on the Jersey shore on southward, all of Long Island is fine on this map.

I know, I don't expect anything to happen either. If you look at the 90s, they were a highly exciting period, very hot summers (1991, 1993, 1995, 1999) and powerful coastal winters (whether they were snow or not doesn't really matter.) October 1991 December 1992 March 1993 January 1996 April 1997 December 1992 was our most powerful most impactful coastal storm until Hurricane Sandy came along. There was also a storm in December 1994 I think it was which some think should have been classified as a tropical storm or hurricane that made landfall near JFK while moving westward. Does anyone remember that storm?

Got completely shut out of any measurable rain here last October. That was our perfect month, truly historic.

2002 had one of our best spring and summer combinations we have ever had. Only exceeded by 2010. That April heatwave was a thing of beauty with some of the clearest blue skies I've ever seen.

Yep it's very important to get that mosquito population lower. I'm all for a correction from the last overly wet 2 decades back to the drier climate we had in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. That's how it's supposed to be here.

Lucy and Charlie Brown??

The real superstorm in 1992-93 happened in December. The so-called March superstorm was mostly an inland storm and had nowhere near the impact that December 1992 had here.

I'm going to tell you right now, that December 1992 was way more exciting than the so-called *superstorm* which was really more of an inland storm. December 1992 changed the entire shape of the coastline and affected us for 3-5 days and caused far more damage than the so-called *superstorm* could ever even dream of causing. I consider December 1992 the real superstorm of that season.

Weird that it's considered colder than 2014-15, a winter which was at least 5 degrees colder here. 2014-15 was the best winter we had here in the 10s (it edges 2010-11 because 2010-11 had a lackluster back half.)

and even worse, in MAY

Yes March 2014 was a disappointment, we were cold and had some snow, but just a covering to an inch or two when it could have been a lot more. Wasn't that one of the worst short term forecast busts? I remember someone saying the models showed we would get a foot of snow the night before the storm?

12.9 so actually a bit higher. I have good memories of the 90s because of 93-94 and 95-96. 93-94 was the equal of 2 winters and 95-96 was the equal of 3 winters!

Yep so far averaging about 5-6 inches less snow than the 80s in a similar pattern. December and January in the 80s were several degrees colder.

Yeah and it causes more mold and allergies and a lot of other horrible crap too.

High dew points belong down in the gulf. 102/60 is better than 85/75 too. I black out when the dew point gets close to 80. 1996 we had a lot of humidity but very few hot days, one of the most miserable days I've ever experienced was overcast with a temperature of 82 degrees and a dew point of 82 (100% humidity!)

Definitely, I remember how you said the heat in July 2010 was so much fun because of low humidity lol. We hit 100+ three out of four days and I went running.

Great storm but January 2016 was better. They rank 3,4 on NESIS, but I believe they should be flipped and would be if NESIS properly accounted for the 30"+ snowfall reports across the most densely populated part of the country in January 2016.

and a nice westerly flow hopefully lower humidity!!

1980 - A coastal storm produced 25 inches of snow at Elizabeth City, NC, and 30 inches at Cape Hatteras NC. At Miami FL the mercury dipped to 32 degrees. (Sandra and TI Richard Sanders - 1987) wow this is absolutely crazy for March! I think we got some snow out of that too, the 80s were somewhat snowy in the 80s and 90s. Highs: EWR: 70 (2024) NYC: 68 (2024) LGA: 68 (2024) JFK: 68 (2024) Lows: EWR: 9 (1950) NYC: 11 (2003) LGA: 10 (1950) JFK: 12 (1950) Last year on this date, nice and warm :-) 2003's 11 degrees on this date.... such an underrated great historic winter.

we are okay with between 3-4 inches of rain. Our long term average rainfall should be around 40 inches per year, the last few decades were abnormally wet.

Some areas really need the rain but I consider this a regression back to normal for us because we have had some anomalously extremely rainy decades. Just need to control the foliage for wildfire season.

The best place to be for getting consistent snowfall is in the mountains. It doesn't even really matter north or south as long as you are away from the ocean the chances of getting snow are better. The Poconos had 36-48 inches of snow this winter which while below normal for them, in an absolute sense is a good amount of snow.

Yes but the highs are all above freezing, so it's not that bad and actually quite normal for early spring.

it hit 67 on Saturday, that's when we can say spring actually started. These very short meaningless shots of cold are actually quite normal in spring.

wow and thats without any snow cover
