tornadojay Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 11.5" inches in Nanuet in Rockland. I didn't count the numerous trace to 1/4" storms that we got... just the October snowicane and tornadojay junior storms. Sadly... my joke back in October about that one being the biggest of the season came back to haunt me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BxEngine Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I got 6.5 inches in October and 5 inches on 1/21 ok good....so my measurements werent awful then, and the 4" difference kinda makes sense....I got 8 on the nose here in October (going on memory here, trying to search the forums as i dont have my numbers in front of me), and 6.2" in january.

WIN Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 had 14" from the oct storm, about 5 or so on 1/21, & probably about 3/4 inches nickle & dime stuff through february. so if i count october, its like 22/23 inches which i THINK is about half of the average (whatever the he!! that means) of 40-45 per season. if i don't count oct,.....oh well.

Zelocita Weather Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 7.0" compared to about 30" average. 23% of normal snow with WAY above normal temps, and only about 3-5 days with snowcover. Worst since 2001-2002, and therefore tied for the worst winter since moving back to NJ in 91-92. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pamela Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 normal is near 40" I thought you lived on the coast of Fairfield County... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isotherm Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I thought you lived on the coast of Fairfield County... The beaches are very elevated though William. Driving down the Fairfield coast my ears pop every time due to the elevation change. Weird how sea level goes up so quickly around that area.

IsentropicLift Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Not too bad actually especially compared to other locals in this sub-forum. It was definitly a year that favored being away from the coast. Two biggest events were the Halloween storm and the overrunning event. I estimate around 16" total. Far cry from last year but far from the worst on record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzucker Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 35-40 zone. http://www.erh.noaa....owClimoMap.html I don't like that map....Dobbs Ferry clearly gets more snow than places further to the SE in Westchester along LI Sound. It doesn't account well for elevation (which is greater in the western part of the county abutting the Hudson), nor does it account for the influence of the mild sound which makes places like Mount Vernon (where my mom teaches) far less snowy than a bit further NW.

I think Dobbs Ferry had about 16" too...10" from the October storm at 350', then 5" from the mid-January overrunning, and a few dustings here and there. A horrid winter but not as bad as 01-02 when the town only recorded 8". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A horrid winter but not as bad as 01-02 when the town only recorded 8". I don't like the map either, not detailed enough and some definite inaccuracies. 40-45" zone in NW NJ is underdone in spots. Parts of elevated western Passaic and eastern Sussex average in the 50-55" range. The 25-30" range for the north shore of LI is not ideal, I prefer 27-32" as a more all inclusive range. For southern LI, I'd probably use 22-27". SE CT looks underdone to me - down to the coast should be about 25", and the 25-30" zones stretches too far inland in E CT. Just to name a few errors.
