February 2-5, 1961 snowstorm (AO+/PNA+):

 

The origin of the storm was different, but its secondary development along the Carolinas and slow movement provide some insight based on where the clipper is forecast to redevelop. However, one should adjust the accumulations northward given that this storm developed off the South Carolina coast and the clipper is forecast to redevelop off the North Carolina Coast. Hence, for example, Washington DC, which received 8.3” in the 1961 storm will very likely see much less snowfall this time around. In contrast, parts of New England should see more snow than occurred in that event. Of course, perhaps the best match for a clipper’s bombing into a major nor’easter is the February 1978 blizzard (a storm analog mentioned by DT yesterday).

 

Select Accumulations around the NYC Metro Area:

Bridgeport: 12.9”

New Haven: 14.0”

New York City:

…JFK: 24.0”

…LGA: 19.0”

…NYC: 17.4”

Newark: 22.6”

Poughkeepsie: 18.0”

Westhampton: 13.9”

White Plains: 24.0”
