I've corrected people here about it, but I've caught myself falling into that trap in the office. Its easier to say than "precipitation". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjay Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 March 1888 had 58" in Saratoga. A lot of the totals were probably undermeasured, especially around NYC, since there was no 6-hour measuring requirement. Didn't 1993 have 55" in Srycuse?

Absolute Humidity Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I had 3.19" LE for Feb 9-10 2010, too bad ratios were like 6:1 with 18.5" total snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pamela Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 The closest we came would have been March 2001 had it worked out. Since it was supposed to snow for 3 days with the storm stalling and looping back we could have seen the 2 to 3 feet that was possible and that was with borderline temps. March 2001 obviously fell short of expectations, but still a pretty decent storm for L.I....the nicest thing about it was the extended duration of the snowfall...continuing light to moderate for roughly 40 hours straight...one of the longest I can remember around here. Several spots out here saw around 16 inches, give or take.

Yanksfan Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 The March 2001 debacle still gives me fits. I remember Al Roker showed a snow map. The New York metro area a widespread 2 to 3 feet. As you got into western half of New Jersey 3 to 4 feet. All systems were go 48 hours before game time. I believe the old AVN model went north first, and then as they say the rest is history. What might of been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjay Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 42.9". And snow depth only increased by 30". I don't know why but I remembered someone in upstate NY getting a 50"+ amount but I was wrong. Mount Le Conte in Tennessee did pick up 60".

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I don't know why but I remembered someone in upstate NY getting a 50"+ amount but I was wrong. Mount Le Conte in Tennessee did pick up 60". 6k feet will do that! 93 was a fun storm. Coastal flooding and a foot of snow made for serious ice bergs. The pouring rain was painful though. To get the biggest numbers around here you gotta do a loop or two aka 88. Late season would be the best time to do it too. Still enough low level cold available but more energy and moisture then mid winter. I think we really could see a NYC 40" storm in the next 25 years. The continued slowing of the jet and some super blocking with a well placed slow moving 970 fun bomb making a little bench mark loop in early march and it's game on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
