My uncle lives like 1 mile from the airport and his temperature is never as cold as them. The sensor must sit in a sewer

We been through it so many times. It must be a small pool of cold air and extremely shallow. Go up 25 feet and it's probably 10 degrees warmer right now

With the exception of 1965-66 which reached 21.4" snow for the season, that's not the kind of company one wants to see. 

 

Winter/Snowfall:

 

1918-19: 3.8"

1965-66: 21.4"

1972-73: 2.8"

1994-95: 11.8"

1997-98: 5.5"

1999-00: 16.3"

2006-07: 12.4"

 

Mean: 10.6"

Median: 11.8"

all el nino's except for 1999-2000...1965-66 was my main analog and it didn't get measurable snow until 1/20...Then things got interesting...This year could turn out better especially if we get snow in March...1966 only got a trace during a very dry month...

I heard rumors for years that NYC was very close to closing for 2/23/89 but decided last minute not to. That would have been hilarious. I know most of long island and pretty much all suburbs did

I believe most Long Island schools were off for winter break that week.

Yeah I forgot about that.  NYC schools I don't think started doing the winter break thing til 1991.

Pretty sure most Long Island schools were off, that will, and forever, be the biggest wintertime forecast disaster.

I remember March 99...started off as some light rain and quickly changed over to heavy wet snow. Ended up with around 5-6 inches in Woodbridge. A transformer blew down the street while I was outside shoveling the next morning. Few days later, most of the snow melted.

Don't even remember, but as I was working in an urban school at the time we would not have had a snow  day for that. I know I didn't use the snowblower for 5 years and the rubber hoses dry rotted....

that brings back nightmares for me.  I was living 20 miles NW of Philly and we hadn't had a good storm since Jan 87 and to top it off my High school did not call a snow day (and we saw nothing but cloudy skies-not even a flurry)

Was working in the Jackson schools at the time; class canceled. Snow never made it past AC IIRC; northwest wind was blamed.

Yup. This is why I don't expect much to happen this year. Our best hope is for one decent storm like in 95.

I'm actually pretty certain that snowstorm occurred during the weekend (Sunday), if memory serves me correctly.

so pointing out a naso good statistic = calling for winter to be over? check your emotions at the door plz

 

And the average since 1900 after a .1" or less December is 15", with zero winters going above average (I use 27 as KNYC's average) and only 2 winters went over 20".

And not a small sample either. About 18 Decembers were .1" or less.

15" in a 4-6 week period isn't bad if it comes in a couple decent storms. Of course all it takes is one Feb 83 type storm and we're close to average
