How many times will Central Park record a 6" or greater snowfall this Winter?

IsentropicLift · December 13, 2011

Let's see what everyone thinks

Stormlover74 · December 13, 2011

I would lower the amounts. I'd say 6 or 7 is the max so maybe 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7 or greater? I don't know what the record for 6" events is in a season but even 95-96 had 5 I believe.

earthlight · December 13, 2011

I'd say 1 time, maybe two.

nycsnow · December 13, 2011

I'd say 1 time, maybe two.

I agree with you, do you know where I can find how many 6+ snowfalls NYC has had yearly?

Stormlover74 · December 13, 2011

I'm not sure where I saw it but there is a site that lists all the measurable snowfalls by year. on the NWS climate page it lists all the 6" snowfalls since 1969. No winter saw more than 4.

We have been able to get at least one a winter season with the exception of the late 90's and 2001-2002 with 2007 close.

Yeah but that was a sleetfall...which I suppose we have to count

2007 was really close.

Yeah, they were counting the March 16th mix for that one.

Cfa · December 13, 2011

1-3....I think we'll have 2 to be exact.

nycsnow · December 13, 2011

We've had no more then 4 in a season so if we manage 2 sounds like a pretty average winter in NYC

Isotherm · December 13, 2011

I said 1-3, but leaning closer to 3 than 1.

forkyfork · December 13, 2011

zero

Sundog · December 13, 2011

None.

Crystal Ball says 4

Thunderdude · December 14, 2011

I say one or two.

Neblizzard · December 14, 2011

I say two, late Jan-Early Feb timeframe

Wxoutlooksblog · December 15, 2011

I would say probably one in February and maybe one in March. I don't think we're getting much snow during January--some but not much.

Fozz · December 18, 2011

Probably none, maybe one if you guys get lucky.

Sundog · December 18, 2011

You better hope we get something up here or your area is toast.

Suppressed storms can happen, but I don't think this will be an eventful winter for any of the East coast cities.

Sundog · December 19, 2011

Of course they can, but this year we're having a hard time suppressing them south of the Canadian border lol. I can't see the PV dropping south like in 09-10 anytime soon. I wish It would because we both did good that year.
