LongBeachSurfFreak Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 2002/03 was such a fun winter.. I can't believe it's 10 years ago.. I remember it like it was yesterday.. December 25, 2002, and Mid February 2003.. Great winter.. Where on earth did 10 years go.... Yeah that really makes me feel old! I feel like it was yesterday walking through waist deep snow in Maryland trying to "find" my car that was completely buried. Presidents day storm is near the top of my list no class for a week meant a week long party in college good times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 63-64 was mostly a nickel and dime winter. The 44" total is well above average, but there weren't any truly memorable storms/HECS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isotherm Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 63-64 was mostly a nickel and dime winter. The 44" total is well above average, but there weren't any truly memorable storms/HECS. IIRC, the maps for fall of 1963 indicated a fairly dry pattern. I think it's important to monitor precip/storm track trends over the next couple months as that's certainly a potential foreteller for down the road (particularly in years w/ weaker ENSO ala now). The falls before active/stormy winters tended to feature a pretty wet Oct and/or Nov, like in 2002 and 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sferic Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Here in Liberty NY, in the Catskills 51 degrees, progged to go down to 33 degrees tomm night, just 20 mile nne of here, snow showers are mentioned for tomorrow night. If NYC is predicting 50s and rain tomm, itll most likely be in the 40's and here in the 30's. There will be snow in some parts, a trace, but still snow. just recall october 4, 1987, october 10th, 1979 or last October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isotherm Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Friday night looks good for widespread first frost/freeze in suburbia if winds can decouple. If so, that'd be a bit earlier than normal for most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
