That day in 1974 was one of those odd childhood days that I remember, at least in one small form. I think it was a Sunday and I remember hearing an accuweather met on the radio saying that there was a storm over the ocean and if it was a couple of hundred miles farther west, we'd be having an October snowstorm. Since it was kind a cold crisp day (full sun) the cold air seemed legit enough and that stuck with me.

A trace of snow at Central Park on 10/26/1962, but worth noting that LGA reported 1.2" of snow and Garden City, LI 2.0" that same day.

I remember the snow falling and sticking in a few spots on the sidewalks around my neighborhood...thr storm was mostly rain but had a period of snow late in the day as I remember it...1962 went on to have a cold November with another snow/rain event...December thru February was very cold but snowfall and precipitation were below average...

Prior to 12/4/1982, the all-time December high for Central Park was 70 on December 10, 1946. Think of how many times 70 has happened since.

Quite possibly my *most* revered for it was on that Sunday morning, 30 years ago today, that my interest in weather was born. Thank you Edward.

<Just under 6 inches in Plainvew from that one...temps around 25 F throughout>

I was in the Poconos that morning and there was a heavy snow warning when I woke up...I wanted to beat the storm so I left right a way......I drove back to Brooklyn in light snow and it was ending as I got there...In January there was another heavy snow warning that didn't materialize...February's storm salvaged the winter...

On 12/18/1904 the snow depth at Cutchogue, LI was recorded at 40".

This was due to the frequent light to moderate snowfalls in addition to the 30" that fell on 12/12-13. Cutchogue snowfall for December 1904 was 49" and snow lay on the ground continuously from 12/5 to 1/19. Following the slightest of January thaws, snow fell again beginning January 24 and lay on the ground into early March.

The Monthly Weather Record for December 1904 shows that 57.4" of snow fell at Southampton, LI that December. Snowfall was heaviest east, with December snowfall of 33.4" being reported at Cold Spring Harbor and 21.6" at Central Park.

One can dream ...

Hey Unc,

The date tagged on the1954 photo is wrong. There are leaves on the trees and one of the guys on the sidewalk seems to be wearing shortsleeves.

As for the 1985 photo...love it...that's my alma mater in the background.

I mentioned this in another thread, but it really fits here.

 

Long Island Low temperatures for 1/18/1982:

 

Patchogue  -10

Bridgehampton  -10

Riverhead  -8

Westbury  -7

Syosset  -6

Setauket  -4

Centerport  -4

Wantagh  -2

Islip  -1

Mineola  +4

 

Snow cover across the island ranged from 6 to 12 inches on this day.

 

The day before was the really cold day.  The daytime high on 1/17 at Islip was 5.  That fact gets lost in the records because the highest temperature for the day was 26 at midnight, but it plunged to 1 above by 9AM.  

 

NYC had a similarly cold day on the 17th with the high of 19 at midnight falling to 0 at 9am and then an afternoon high of only 6 above.
