NYC snowfall 2012-13

Recommended Posts

18.8" now officially in Central Park but some small events went under measured...The latest storm is the fifth storm 10" or more since 2010...it's the fourth storm 10" or more on Feb. 9-10th...

I have now seen 1ft (assuming that 11.4 in central park could be called basically a foot) 7 times since Dec 2009. Prior to that jan 2005, feb 2003, (wasn't around for feb 2006). Dec 2003 ? was also like 14 IIRC in central park. These were seen in varying areas though, in westchester, long island and manhattan. I was also in syracuse for 4 years, but it wouldn't be fair to count the times I saw a foot up there :snowman:  (surprisingly only 3-4 times individual totals of 12+)

 

Interestingly enough I have missed out on some biggies, either on vacation or in college...some notables

Central Park should be over 23 inches on the season after todays storm. Hopefully the park can exceed 25 inches with more potential going forward.

Central park looks like it was short changed again...The 4" that fell brings the seasons total to 22.8"...Not to bad considering...

Yeah that was because of the feb. storm that gave cpk a record snowfall...was about 10 in. less here.

I measured 20" in Westerleigh on College Ave in Feb 2006...There must have been a sharp cut offf...April has 1.2" of snow while Central Park had 0.1"...That day almost 2" fell near Wagner College on the hill...

Which year's April?

2006...

..............................................................................................................................................................

Snow depth is a great way to measure a winters severity...

After 1995 Central Park didn't record snow depth...I believe they started to record it again in 2006...I had to use La Guardia Airport observations a few years...A few numbers were estimated because of missing information or wrong info...These Snow depth days are days when some snow was on the ground at any time during the day...Max snow depth could have been a few inches more in some cases because of melting or compacting before the next 24hr observation...same for 1-20" obs...

Trace days are days when a trace of snow was recorded or a trace was on the ground...Total days 1"-20" also...

Lack of trace days in recent years makes me think a few are going undetected... Years ago snow depth was to the tenth of an inch...Later in one inch increments...This year as bad as it was isn't the hardest winter we ever had...We did see four different times when there was 10" on the ground...8 days total...The most since 1995-96...We have a trace on 45 days so far...29 days with an inch or more and 12 straight...23 days with 4" or more...We might add to this years totals before it's finally over...

1993-94 has the most 1" days...Most trace days and consecutive trace days...

1947-48 had the most consecutive 1" , 4" and 10" days...

days with 1" snow depth...
