bluewave Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 This is the complete heavy snowfall climatology for the NWS New York forecast zones. It's a list that takes into account heavy snowfall from the NW interior through NYC and out across Long Island and the CT coastal zones. This is a more comprehensive approach that doesn't leave out posters in different parts of the area. I made an effort to be very inclusive since the forum isn't just one single point on a map. Snowfall maxes for all the 6" and greater 2010's events were taken from official major reporting sites along with trained spotters and NWS employees. The biggest snowstorms were the events which produced a max of 18" or greater around NWS New York zones. This was followed by 12" or more events along with 6" or higher. There were a total of 10 snowstorms producing a max of 18" or more across the area. 7 out of the 8 events were AO and NAO driven storms. But there was one which was -EPO/+PNA produced without much help from the Atlantic side. So strongly -AO/ and or -NAO storms dominated this top level category.

Paragon Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Great work, BW, but if you're going to include max snowfall amounts outside of official reporting stations (like the nearly 32" at Elizabeth, NJ in December 2010) you should also include the 34" reported at Jackson Heights, Queens, in Jan 2016.

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Great list. When you consider that ice boxes in the midwest like Minneapolis MN, have only seen 17 or more inches of snow 5 times in over 130 years of record keeping and NYC now has 16 storms over 17 inches in approx. the same time period, our area is on a nice roll.

Paragon Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 NP, I was looking through your list- is the 29" reported from Meriden, CT from the airport location? Also, the Feb 2013 event had reports of nearly 40" (38" I think) from the Farmingville/Medford area on Long Island and 40" from somewhere in CT. Hopefully you can find the PNS's for that one and confirm that. The LIE was shut down for hours in that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragon Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I guess the Hamden and Milford numbers are the ones I remembered. Wow, I didn't realize so many locations had over three feet! Pity that Meriden (KMMK) and Oxford (KOXC) don't keep official numbers at the airports- it seems like those locales are "hotspots" for coastals.

That storm set the new official 24 hour snowfall record for CT. http://www.ryanhanrahan.com/2013/05/14/its-official-ansonia-smashes-state-24-hour-snowfall-record/https://ryanhanrahan.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/20130429-connecticut-maximum-24-hour-snowfall.pdf On 24 April, 2013, the State Climate Extremes Committee (SCEC) convened via teleconference to evaluate the validity of an apparent 24-hour snowfall record for the State of Connecticut. The SCEC examined the 8- 9 February 2013 24-hour snowfall total of 36 inches at the Cooperative Observer station in Ansonia, CT (COOP identifier 060128). The SCEC examined several factors surrounding the value (intrinsic and extrinsic validity, methods and practices of observation, and comparison to the accepted record for Connecticut). The SCEC voted unanimously (4-0) to accept the value. I request that the NCDC Director approve the SCEC’s decision and recognize the 36 inch 24-hour snowfall total which occurred between 7:00am EST on 8 February 2013 and 7:00am EST on 9 February 2013 as the new Connecticut state record for 24-hour snowfall.

bluewave Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Updated for the 9th storm since 09-10 to produce 18" or more in a part of the OKX forecast zones. The highest so far is an amateur radio report of 23.5 in Montgomery, NY. The steep rise in AO leading up to the storm coupled with mostly +PNA ridging favored the interior for the heaviest totals rather than the coastal areas. This is the new heaviest March snowstorm for a part of the region surpassing the 15.0" in Harriman,NY on Mar 8, 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 Updated the list to include the maximum OKX forecast zone accumulation of 7.0" at Shelton, CT. As with the other storms reaching the lower 6.0" or greater category, this one occurred in a dominant -EPO/+PNA pattern with just some blocking extending into the AO region.

bluewave Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 This event got added to the second 12.0 inch or higher level of storms for accumulation going back to the 09-10 winter. While there was some help form the NAO and AO, the blocking was primarily Pacific -EPO and +PNA driven. Islip was used as the highest official amount due to the total and difficulty of accurate snowfall measurement in blizzard conditions.

Baltimore did too, until it was "edited" out. Whoever measured in Baltimore that winter was the anti zookeeper, everything was high. Wish we could get someone like that in Central Park. 1995-96 was more realistically 80-85 inches if you just factor in the absurdly low 20.2 the zookeeper measured during the January blizzard. No surrounding stations were less than 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They measured 8 inches in the last storm and there was more like 15 all the surrounding stations had 12+ It's almost like they remade the same error that that they made in the feb 1978 storm where they measured 14" when it was more like 22". I was snowed in and had to climb out my window and dig myself out and almost the entire day was one big white out. I didn't even get to take any pics during the white out because there was nothing to take pics of but white lol. I took them the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 On 1/5/2018 at 7:34 AM, bluewave said: This event got added to the second 12.0 inch or higher level of storms for accumulation going back to the 09-10 winter. While there was some help form the NAO and AO, the blocking was primarily Pacific -EPO and +PNA driven. Islip was used as the highest official amount due to the total and difficulty of accurate snowfall measurement in blizzard conditions. Jan 4, 2018...Islip...15.8...Peak index values in pattern leading up to storm.....EPO....-183.83....PNA...-1.00....AO...-0.60....NAO...-0.03 15" here- did you get about the same BW?
