Guest Pamela Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I think that is a pretty unfair characterization of the '93 storm.. Back in 93, almost 20 years ago, we had gone almost 10 years w/o a 12"+ storm. The biggest snowstorms b4 it was a storm in Jan. 87 (i think) and Feb '83.. Yep...after the Feb 83 storm not much happening...there was a nice early March clipper in 1984 that put down 7 or 8 inches...two storms in late January '87 and one in February '87...but none of the three a legitimate major storm around here...another medium one in January '88...then, at least locally, the 12/13/88 Norlun event that produced locally 12"+ (and most spots next to nothing)...the nice 1989 Thanksgiving storm (a couple spots on the East End measured around 10")...and that February 1990 Norlun event that put down 14" on the East End and mostly flurries elsewhere. The '93 storm...flawed though it may have been (at least in these parts) was really the first area wide big storm in a decade... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allsnow Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 93 started my love for weather...impressive storm and the track it took had no business giving us the snow it did....also prelude to 93-94... driving sleet and walking on a foot of crust....was amazing for a 8 year old kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a clipper we got which drop 4 inches imby...great surprise being the weather channel only had 1-2...back then all i did was watch it over and over....correct me if im wrong, but i believe it was mild before the 93 blizzard....

IIRC there were 2 storms that February...I think the first was associated with extremely cold temps...down close to 0 F. And you are right...most outlets were only going for an inch. The second storm put down up to 7" locally (generally around 4"). First taste of winter in a long time. I'd have to check the log book but yeah I think it was fairly mild in advance of the '93 storm...but not crazy mild...not far off from normal mid March. But I'd have to double check. March 1990 I think was the first crazy hot March in these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe 91-92 winter was a blow torch.....My parents put a second floor on our house, and the guys work in short sleves in the middle of january. I did not believe we would see a year as snowless as 07-08, but 11-12 took the cae. Im just so glad its over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTrials Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 93 was over hyped and not a big deal for a northeast storm in the local area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neblizzard Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 93 was over hyped and not a big deal for a northeast storm in the local area. Imagine if the 93 storm had a good block in place and it took the perfect track? Would of been an epic storm for our area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover74 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Pretty much every winter month after Dec '89 was a blowtorch. Jan-March 90 was very warm, most of 90-91 winter was mild although we did manage 2 decent events. 91-92 was an awful el-nino year saved only by the 2 late spring storms. Feb 93 really ushered in a shift with colder temps, a few good snow events, then the blizzard in March and the following winter being epic for NYC Metro. I believe 91-92 winter was a blow torch.....My parents put a second floor on our house, and the guys work in short sleves in the middle of january.

The track went right over NYC, but with such a large system you had incredible amounts of WAA way out ahead of the actual surface low and with an arctic airmass in place, starting as snow was a lock. In fact, all the snow nyc saw was from WAA. What you generally don't see is the 12 inch amounts from WAA, but because it was such a moisture rich system and ratios were fantastic with the fresh cold air, it pulled it off.

uncle W Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 there were a few strong storms in the 1990's....December 1992...March 1993...January 1996...April 1997...If the March 1993 storm came in December NYC would have gotten a trace of snow...If the December 1992 storm came in early March it would have had more snow with it...a lot more...An east wind in December will change any snowstorm to rain along the coast...In March with a ten degree colder Ocean it's not that easy...

Although you are in theory correct, the Dec '92 storm was pretty far west....moved over Chesapeake Bay, IIRC...before eventually moving northeast...IIRC, even up at Greenwood Lake State Park...on the Passaic / Orange County border....though they ended up with about 14"...it kept changing back and forth from rain to snow and back again...and they have some elevation there, too. One would probably have to go as far NW as High Point State Park to have seen an all snow event out of this thing. NYC would probably have gotten something like 4 - 6 inches out of this one if it were in March...the track is what killed it more than anything else.
