1/23-24/16 #1 All Time KNYC Snowfall-please add Obs, Accums, Pics

[ILoveWinter]

Nobody believes the accuracy of the 2006 storm anyway, so in my book this is #1!

[weatherfreeeeak]

That's really frustrating. And I don't see how it's possibly accurate either. Can this last band deliver?

it's lightly snowing here, maybe it'll be just enough

[pazzo83]

Snowing lightly here.  Come on!

[BxEngine]

[cjr231]

It is snowing again. Just very lightly. Need this miracle band to pull it off.

[LaGrangewx]

That wasn't Juno and this isn't Jonas. We need to stop with TWC Crap.

I hate that the public embraced it so quickly.

nemo is the reason why

[Manny]

wow. lol .2", this last band might do it.

[bboughton]

nemo is the reason why

WFSB started naming storms way before Nemo.  Gets confusing in CT when there's two names! 

[weatherfreeeeak]

wow. lol .2", this last band might do it.

yea if they have the courtesy to even measure again

Update: Next measurement is at 2AM, lets hope we can get it!!

[jm1220]

I do totally get Yehuda's point. "Jonas" is about the worst possible name anyone could come up with for a storm like this. "Nemo" and "Juno" similarly-cartoon characters, for what shut down New England, and the eastern suburbs of NYC too. It's just easier toggling a name than a date in your head. I remember the bigger ones-2/8/13 for "Nemo", 1/25/15 for "Juno", but for the more mediocre, forget it. 

[Seth.P]

Blizzard warning is officially over for Brooklyn.

[JerseyWx]

nemo is the reason why

 

And for some reason, I only think and refer to that storm in February 2013 as Nemo.  I even think of Finding Nemo lol.  Besides that, I go by dates for all other storms, especially big ones.

 

And wow at NYC's record.  I hope they break it somehow by the next measurement.  Too close and good of a storm to miss out on it.

Is -SN being reported at Central Park now?

It's actually snowing at a decent clip now. This should do it if they properly measure.

[LongBeachSurfFreak]

Is -SN being reported at Central Park now?

Yes sir we are snowing again and I'm on my 21st straight hour plowing doing 30 if I dot pass out

[dmillz25]

- SN here.

[Rjay]

I doubt they ever update it.

They might bc they're so close to the record.

We'll see.

[LongBeachSurfFreak]

The park reported 5.8 inches on 0.31" LE between 4 and 7 pm. Close to 19:1

Champaign powder the last few hours with that band!!

[Manny]

27" FTW!! Btw how can one upload youtube videos? I have a couple of vids I wanna post from earlier tonight.

"@lonniequinnTv Next snowfall reading around 2am.I will try to stay up for ya. No guarantees.So tired I cant use multi syllabic words.(never could) #Record"

[LongBeachSurfFreak]

Definitely 30" where I am two miles north of the park on sight. Just epic epic epic m. There's a 9' drift up against one of the buildings: this is for sure the best blizzard in NYC history. Other then 1888 which I firmly believe was more then recorded

click the twitter handle and change it to "media" then copy paste the link in the correct spot.

[cjr231]

Lol Lonnie go to bed.

His forecast was such a joke for this event.

[Morris]

2.32" LE in the park. So the average as slightly better than 10:1. 11.5:1

[NorthShoreWx]

I hate it too, but it's better than remembering the dates. "Juno" was 1/25/15, "Nemo" was 2/8/13? Admittedly, "Jonas" is a hugely lame name for a storm like this. 

Disagree.  I remember those dates, but I am thoroughly perplexed about which name is which date.  It doesn't make it any easier that there are 17 different midwest light - moderate clippers that also have names.  Its really quite absurd.

 

So today's storm is Juno?  Or was it Nemo?

[yhbrooklyn]

Fwiw, I'm not annoyed or upset, it just bugs me. Like accuweather "real feel" and espn QBR.

I just dislike private corporation naming of public things.

Nothing personal. Hope I didn't offend you.

[SACRUS]

Nobody believes the accuracy of the 2006 storm anyway, so in my book this is #1!

 

Same is true for 96 - likely under what truly was.

[yhbrooklyn]

96 was a huge undermeasurement. We had 28" in Brooklyn.
