ag3 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Even though Brooklyn got robbed by that deform, we still ended up getting over 20 inches. I received 18 inches from the Jan 27 storm. I had 4 inches in the morning and then 14 inches at night with incredible rates. Hopefully we see that again this winter. Yeah. We all got 15"-20" from Dec. 26, and I am not complaining. But that deform band dropped 25"-30" over that area of Jersey and if it progressed east, the impacts would've been similar to Jan. 1996, which dropped 20"-30" areawide.

MJO812 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Yeah. We all got 15"-20" from Dec. 26, and I am not complaining.

Analog and Earthlight got close to 30 inches. I think Chris L also got close to that. Too bad the winter ended in January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag3 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Analog and Earthlight got close to 30 inches. I think Chris L also got close to that. Too bad the winter ended in January Northern Queens, NYC and SWCT had a 4" storm in February. But yeah, anyone south of that only got 1" of slop after January 27.

Too bad the winter ended in January The ice storm on 2/1 was bad for us, even on the immediate south shore. But yeah, after that winter pretty much ended.

My area didn't get hit bad by that storm. I think I got about 2 inches of slop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv88 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Yeah. For Queens and Western Nassau, Jan. 27, was an insane snowstorm. That band I posted was the hardest snow, I've ever seen. 3" to as much as 5" an hour reported from LGA to ISP! Sick...Was also very windy and LGA had blizzard conditions for 2-3 hours. that storm was ridiculous for western nassau...the snowfall rate was higher than in 12/26...i kept looking outside and watching the steps dissapear, then the light fixtures, then the railing...then my car...we ended up with about 18-19 inches from that...what was the original forecast...3-6?

psv88 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 So close, and yet so far... Long island got into a sick deform band in the 2009-2010 winter...not sure which storm, but i remember there were 4 inche snowfall rates...the thing slowly went across suffolk county...that was sick as well...anyone remember that? Coastal CT got hit pretty hard from too. i think we ended up w around 16 inches from that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCloser24 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 psv88, I think you're thinking about the December 19-20, 2009 Nor'easter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv88 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 psv88, I think you're thinking about the December 19-20, 2009 Nor'easter. yea its the storm where areas out east got over 30 inches of snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick05 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 psv88, I think you're thinking about the December 19-20, 2009 Nor'easter. yeah, that one was better here in our place... we got 18.5" while KISP reported 23.9"... last season's snowstorms "only" produced around 12"...

CooL Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Dec 2009 and Feb 5th 2010 were both epic fails. I woke up and saw a couple flurries on my roof from that feb storm while philly had 28" on the ground. the 2011 winter made up for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I woke up and saw a couple flurries on my roof from that feb storm while philly had 28" on the ground. the 2011 winter made up for that its crazy how the past 2 winters have been...so many massive storms a foot or more of snow...its hard to keep track of them!! I remember the blizzard of 96 always stood out as the one big storm, but now there are so many. It just makes you want another biggie, but i know deep down the chances are slim that we see another winter with 3 12inch + snowstorms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 10 days after this: http://www.weather.c...er/8_23680.html Well, recently the atmosphere outdid itself. At the peak of the pattern which begat the wild weather in Europe and the U.S., the biggest departure from average pressure aloft in the database (which goes back to 1948) anywhere on the planet occurred over Greenland on December 15. Then the next day that record was smashed. And the previous record for December at this level, a few miles above the Earth's surface, was completely obliterated.

chazman Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 For my location in Queens, I probably got around 16-17 inches or so from the December 26th storm, but I'll remember the winds the most. A few posters near me lost power (think one member who lived near Holy Cross in Bayside), and my front door blew open around 2am on the 27th. Really thought I might lose power. I got into those snow bands on the Jan 27th storm - just amazing, The only rates I think can compare was from Feb 1983. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris L Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 For those of you that experienced the JAN 1996 Blizzard in the area, which is better in contrast to DEC 2010? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris L Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 Analog and Earthlight got close to 30 inches. I think Chris L also got close to that.

phlwx Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Actually PHL had 36" on the ground after February 10, 2010. http://www.nws.noaa.gov/climate/getclimate.php?date=&wfo=mpx&sid=phl&pil=CF6&recent=&specdate=2010-02-28+11%3A11%3A11 Most on the ground was 18" at the airport after the 2nd storm. Burbs would certainly have had more but PHL didn't have 36" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle W Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I got 13 inches from the Dec 2009 storm and 2 inches from the Feb 5th storm. Staten Island received 7 inches from that storm. I got 3" on 2/5/10...It was disappointing but other places got a trace...2/9/10 made up for that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO812 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 My forecast from that night Tonight: Snow and widespread blowing snow before 5am, then areas of blowing snow and a chance of snow after 5am. The snow could be heavy at times. Some thunder is also possible. Low around 20. Wind chill values as low as -1. Very windy, with a north wind between 33 and 40 mph, with gusts as high as 55 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of 14 to 20 inches possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris L Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 http://www.nws.noaa....28+11%3A11%3A11 Most on the ground was 18" at the airport after the 2nd storm. Burbs would certainly have had more but PHL didn't have 36" Thanks for that correction. I would think that the Burbs, such as Ridley Park in Delaware County, which had 30" from Feb 6 and 21.5" from Feb 10, would have 30+ of snow in depth easily. I suppose back January 7, 1996, PHL had close to 30" on the ground in depth. I could be wrong on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allsnow Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Wildest storm I have ever experience......well over 2 feet of snow and blizzard conditions all night....best storm of my life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Easily worse than 2/12/06 even if some weenie measured more in that one. It was probably the highest impact storm ever for NYC, other than the Lindsay storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTrials Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 meh, blizzard 96 was better. This storm gets a better reputation than it deserves because of the model madness and the hatchet job done by nyc sanitation. it was a 6 on a 1-10, with blizzard 96 being an 11.

tmagan Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Easily worse than 2/12/06 even if some weenie measured more in that one. It was probably the highest impact storm ever for NYC, other than the Lindsay storm. It was on a holiday weekend during the lowest sun angle of the year, which makes it harder to melt the snow.
