That sure happened in December 2010, the Boxing Day Blizzard. That was also a Niña.

I actually never knew that. They were originally the Brooklyn Atlantics. Everything changed with the creation of the subway system, which fueled the amalgamation of modern NYC.

Bronx is very much in New York City. Most of the Bronx and all of Manhattan were in the original, pre-December 31, 1897 NYC; Queens (a collection of villages), Brooklyn (in its own right the second or third largest US City at the time) and Staten Island (a collection of villages) were added effective January 1, 1898, the birthday of NYC as we know it.

Your lips to G-d's ears.

February 30, 2024. Only kidding, thinking January 15, 2024.

I don't know. In my neck of the woods, the New York area, 1972-3 could not have been more different than 2009-10, even though both were cold-phase El Niños. 1982-3 and 2015-6 at least had one huge KU, unlike 1972-3 or 1997-8.

1972 had a couple; December 15, 1972, which IIRC hugged the coast, causing a changeover, and January 29, 1973 (same story). There were two biggies that plastered the Southeast, from Atlanta to Charleston to Wilmington (NC). There was one in mid-to-late March 1992. I don't remember if the "Storm of the Century" circa March 12, 1993 was during a Niño or it it was already neutral.

Don't forget 2015-6 and 1972-3. 1982-3 may be similar though that was following a warm-neutral (right after the Great Pacific Shift) from mid-1979 through April 1982.

In Westchester County on the Connecticut line, we're lucky if we got six. More like four or five.

On February 11, 1983 I remember watching the slow advance from the law library on Vesey Street. I saw the curtain of snow envelope the Verrazano. I grabbed the subway to my office on 40th street where it barely started snowing about 30 minutes later. The edge of the snow really crawled.

I "third" you. I lost my real Dad at 15, he was 47, in 1973. Fortunately it was from great to greater, but I lost my next Dad after almost 41 years knowing him and being his stepson my of the time in 2013.

Sweet. And my condolences.

That's a keeper, and going out to my mailing list!

You are quite right. I was referring to "Doria" as "Edith." Courtesy of my bad memory.

What about February 1983?
