2009-10, 2010-11, 72" and 58" for a 130" couplet. For one I haven't lived through -- 76-77/77-78. And before that, 1960-1962, then 1947-49 for the huge Decembers and great snowcover winters. 63" and 47" respectively in NYC for those two winters.

If I understand your question you are answering , 76/77 winter, 77/78 winter, 95/96 and 96/97, right?

First, 76/77-77/78 and second, 2009/10-2010/11. I could understand why those in SNE with the exception the area closest to the NYS state line (and NYC), would have trouble with the 2009/10 portion of the second sequence.

I'd love to see a 1976-77/1977-78 repeat.

One winter had ballz deep cold and the other had a beyond epic blizzard in February.

Even if '09-'10 had been good here in February...that couplet would have a hard time beating those others...for one, both '09-'10/'10-'11 had no March...I have trouble ranking a winter very high if it ends abruptly early.

But statistically, you've got climo on your side, which is why where I live, it really sucks (small consolation that it's slightly better than Phil, most of the populated parts of MD, and DC.

Well you're about 5" under Central Park at your location's avg, so yeah, more comparable with PHL than most of the metro area. Much of LI is 28-32".

A lot of these I was not alive during that period answers make me feel real old.

We have a lot of posters on here now that don't really remember even the '95-'96 winter very well or the April '97 blizzard....nevermind the terrible 1980s stretch or the '70s winters that you and Jerry remember.

A little high for the south shore and the extreme eastern end, where its more like 22-26" (and please don't bring William into this, j/k).

I remember most snowstorms since 2000, before that I don't remember much. (maybe because 1997-98, and 1998-99 both sucked azz)

The event I remember the best is X-mas 2002. .

I remember storms in the 80s. I really am getting old lol

1988-1989 is my worst memory. For up here, I remember the January 2, 1987 storm for my earliest. I do remember the Jan 1985 in San Antonio, TX but not very well.

Is there another event later in the '83 or '84 season?

I can't be thinking of of April '82 because no way I'd remember that.....I was 1 year and 5 months old.

March 1984 had two big events...the first one was Mar 13-14 but that actually changed to rain before ending, but it still produced like 10-12" of snow. Tamarack in Maine is obsessed with that storm. Obviously Mar 28-29, 1984 was the big one.

There was a modest 3-5" event before the Mar 13-14 storm too. So you could be thinking of any of those.

No, I distinctly remember that it started as rain and was a biggie.

March 28-29.

That's def the one then. There wasn't a storm like that in late 1982-1983 winter.

The Mar 28-29, 1984 storm had a lot of thundersnow in it in eastern MA.
