I, too, was surprised and impressed by that feat when compiling the data. Great winter to be in SNE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess unlike the April 1996 event, the April 2016 storm did not snow on Long Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing those stats. So glad to see you cash in so well, in the month of March. As we both discussed last year, March can often times deliver a big event/month.

I'm pretty sure that was 2 separate events, a coastal on 15-16 and the north edge of a clipper on the 17th. That 2nd event was only 0.5" at PVD and 0.1" at BDL, but dropped 3-6" in the NYC area and ushered in record cold - NYC dropped to 13° toward the end of that event and failed to top 20° the next day. Interesting statistical fluke that 4 of PWM's to 10 came on 13-14, another on 14-15, and all 10 within the 10-day period 6th to 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
