I wasn't making a point. Just asking if you remembered that storm, which seems to be relatively forgotten. Since you tend to be interested in rainstorms IIRC.

The only other times schools closed for weather that wasn't snow related around here was Sandy and I think maybe FLoyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a crap year for snow but we still ended up using all our days....2 sleet storms and that rainstorm dropped 9 inches here...9 inches of rain that is. Set a record for BDR for the most hourly obs reporting heavy rain.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely had winter weather and snow this year, it just wasn't all that epic. Aside from some serious cold the weather wasn't anything special. People would be griping out in the public a lot more if it had been worse. Most people are happy it hasn't snowed too much in IMBY. That sounds weird to us, but that is how most people view snow. They think it's a pain in the neck and quite a few would be happy if they never saw it again. The big news this winter was the sick temps the other day. Sheesh, over 80 at Teterboro.

Floyd , Sandy , 4/2007 rainstorm - also half days for heat - main reason schools were closed for the 4/2007 rain was flooding and a drowning death in Avenel - I remember the T -storm the night that Sunday night loud thunder that set car alarms off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post 1/15 there's very few days with BN temps overall...the cold broke and that was it in that dept. We lucked out with last weekend's snows given the very mild pattern around it.

Yanksfan Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I know its out in fantasy land, but check out what the GFS depicts on March 7-8. A slow moving intense snowstorm for parts of our area. Snows for 36 hours. By no means is it a lock, but it shows what the pattern is capable of producing. Should be some sleepless nights coming in the days ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snow last Saturday was the highest accumulations locally of the season and barring a major hit next week I’ll probably finish well below average.

Also Sussex and parts of Orange County had icing issues this week. I believe Goshen schools actually closed one day this week due to freezing rain.

A storm that made it to the 950s off the Delmarva isn’t that notable? Just because it relatively missed you doesn’t make it any less of a blizzard where it did hit. It was fast moving but there was 14” here and it was absolutely, 100% a blizzard for most of NYC and coastal sections. For hours where I am it was a whiteout. I’ve been skunked many times when 90% of the forum kept snowing. Last March’s massive interior storm was vast majority rain where I live, but doesn’t make it any less of a storm.

I tried to walk 6 blocks to the boardwalk in the height of it and couldn’t because of the insane winds, drifts and intensity of the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
