Nibor Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Got stuck in Leonardo NJ for the Boxing Day blizzard. Craziest winds during a snowstorm I've ever experienced. My sisters house had 5-6 foot drifts up the side. Her station wagon was completely covered minus the antenna and part of the front windshield. It took 3 days for them to plow her street. This years blizzard was great but nothing can top what I experienced during Boxing Day. In the post storm synopsis of Boxing Day by the nws I believe they called it a severe blizzard. It truly was severe, on a completely different level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherpruf Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Gotta be happy we got the big storm, this winter looked sure to be a stinker without it and I hope these super warm temps are not ushering in the climate change that is inevitable. I don't expect to see anything significant for the rest of this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes the extended cold last February and the below zero this month even more unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 On 2/22/2016 at 9:44 PM, nzucker said: The Boxing Day storm started a great run.. I had 13" in that storm, 14.5" in the 1/12 storm, 14" in 1/27, then 2" on 2/1 plus a half inch of ice. After the 2/1 ice storm, we had a 25" snow depth topped with glistening ice. The winter kind of died out at that point save for one 8" event in late February, but it was an amazing run. 10-11 will always be one of my favorite winters for the combination of a memorable blizzard with weeks of deep snowpack and frigid temps. People forget how cold December was that year, too. I believe Central Park had its 2nd longest stretch of continuous snow cover behind 47-48. Actually the Boxing Day storm started a 32 day stretch from December 26th to January 27th that Central Park recorded 56 inches of snow. Also I know they happened in what is 2 different winter seasons but the year 2010 saw 2 of NYC's top 10 blizzards in the same calendar year. For me the SNOWICANE in Febraury 2010 was the second best storm of my lifetime. 35 inches of snow that was just relentless for 20 hours. NYC ended with 20.9 and Boxing Day 20.0. However people I know from Manhattan have told me Boxing Day was at least 2 feet in the city. Another infamous measuring job by the zookeeper.

If I had to pick a fav year it would be 2014...lots of decent snowstorms but no biggie. Last years' piddly storms were maddening I'd rather have one big one....

IsentropicLift Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 The stretch of weather from 2010-2012 was amazing. On one bookend you have March 2010 rainstorm and on the other bookend you have Sandy. Plenty of KU's mixed in as well as Irene and other major events.

Especially all the forecasts of a great 2nd half of Feb and early march and all we've gotten is warmth and cutters.

If you're talking about Juno with regards to the first storm, not a flake fell here. The morning of I was in the 24-36" contour from the NWS. For the blizzard last month, areas North of the city saw much less. Not all of us are fortunate to live on the local snow capital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UlsterCountySnowZ Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Rating a winter is completely relative to your location, not the winter itself... Most in jersey/NYCLong island would give it a B or A This will most likely go down as my worst experienced winter since I've been alive Barring a freak March storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
