Hitman Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Made it up to plattekill this morning. They had 2-3 feet. Wind blown and drifted. Dense but silky. Crazy storm, there was no snow all the way up the thruway. Didn’t see any snow of significance till I crossed over esopus creek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be cool if a study is done in the future. Can't really say it acted like a late winter storm cause some places with little elevation did better than places with elevation.

Yeah, I’m no weather historian by any stretch but I can’t remember a storm with such a strange distribution.. it wasn’t north-south, east west or even elevation so much, there are just pockets where it accumulated and many others where it didn’t at all.

Add that to the fact that it stalled for quite of bit of time just E of LI & then started to drift south. The Jan storm was a quick mover hence its limited impact. The snow in yesterdays storm was far from confined. Confined outside NYC sure but that doesn't lessen the magnitude of the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathermedic Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 FDR Drive flooded again from the East River pushing up through the storm drains and manhole covers on the northbound side before 96 st. Several cars stalled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't around for March 1962 but from what I read that was better further south in Central and Southern Coastal NJ while December 1992 was far more damaging for NYC and Long Island and North Coastal NJ.

Chief83 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I was around for 1962 storm. Don't really know what the conditions were further north or south of the south Jersey shore area such as Ocean City to Cape May, but the area was destroyed almost literally. Don't know any of the specifics as to winds, etc, etc. but part of the issue was the construction of the buildings was poor at best in terms of today's construction. I remember driving with my parents after the area was opened to the public and seeing mile after mile of devastation. I expect if you google New Jersey storm of 1962 - there will be pictures.

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Driving home from Vermont there were a ton of downed trees on the taconic. Most of it was well north of the city. Most likely from the combination of heavy snow and winds. Major Snow was relegated to above 1000’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, this one hit right at full moon while the Jan storm came a couple days after full. And as already noted, this one stalled, so shore points had to face flooding on 3 tide cycles (reminiscent of March 1962 in NJ) instead of one. While this storm was not as deep, it was far more extensive in area, even if much of that was over the fish. That long fetch allowed the 3rd high tide, after both the strongest winds and the highest astro tides, to produce the highest tide of the event for the S. Maine coast.

But didnt the Jan storm set the record for highest surge at Boston? Honestly for us Dec 1992 was much worse than any of these storms including Mar 1962.
