bluewave Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 There are some interesting surprises with the timing of 12"+ snowstorms during the historic 2010's snowfall era. The first unusual occurrence is that the October 29 to November 15 period has been more active than the December 1-15 interval. Another interesting pattern is the more active first half of March than the second part of February. Roughly 2 week snowfall periods for the 2010's and number of 12"+ snowstorms Oct 29-Nov 15.....3 Nov 16-Nov 30....0 Dec 1- Dec 15.....0 Dec 16-Dec 31....3 Jan1-Jan 15.......4 Jan16-Jan 31.....6 Feb 1-Feb 15.....7 Feb 16-Feb 28...1 Mar 1- Mar 15....6 Mar 16-Mar 31...1 Apr 1-Apr 16.....0 Individual events and the highest snowfall totals 2022 Jan 28-29….Islip….24.7 2021 Jan 31-Feb 2....Blomingdale, NJ.....26.1 2020 Dec 16-17 East Tremont, NY....12.4 2019 Mar 3-4...Monroe, CT....12.0 2018 Nov 15....Mount Hope, NY.......18.3 Mar 21-22...Patchogue, NY......20.1 Mar 13...Southampton,NY.....18.3 Mar 8....New Farfield, CT..........26.8 Mar 2...Monroe, NY.................14.0 Jan 4...Islip, NY.......................15.8 2017 Mar 14...Montgomery, NY.......23.5 Feb 9...Selden, NY...................16.0 Jan 7...Orient, NY....................12.5 2016 Feb 5...Setauket, NY................12.0 Jan 23..JFK,NY.........................30.5 2015 Feb 2..New Faifield, CT............12.0 Jan 26-27....Orient,NY.............28.5 2014 Feb 13-14...Roselle, NJ............16.7 Jan 21-22....Centerreach,NY....14.0 Jan 2-3......Lindenhurst, NY.....12.5 2013 Mar 8....Harriman,NY..............15.0 Feb 8....Upton, NY..................30.9 2012 Nov 7-8.....Monroe, CT..........13.5 Jan 21......North Haven, CT....12.0 2011 Oct 29.....Harriman, NY.........16.0 Jan 26-27...NYC................... 19.0 Jan 11-12.......Meriden, CT....29.0 2010 Feb 25-26...Mount Hope, NY...27.5 Dec 26........Elizabeth, NJ........31.8 Feb. 10.....Sound Beach, NY....16.2 2009 Dec 19-20....Upton, NY..........26.3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly remarkable Would you happen to know the #'s for each preceding decade? Yeah, 27 storms so far for the 2010’s is a remarkable number. It reflects the record amount of snowfall that has occurred in this decade. This increase in 12"+ snowstorms also shows up as a record number of KU storms for the 2010’s. The text product archive with all the snowstorms in the OKX zones is incomplete before 2008. https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/snow-and-ice/rsi/nesis https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx/afos/list.phtml Archive Completeness: 1996 thru 2001: Sometimes sparse / missing data. Also note that product source IDs are likely different back then (prior to NWS Modernization), some work was done to assign present day WMO source IDs to the product metadata stored in the database. The original text as not modified. Known holes exist at: 29 Oct-1 Nov 1998, 24-27 Dec 1998, 25-28 Jul 1999, 21-25 Jan 2000, 26-27 Mar 2000, 12-13 Jun 2001, 28-29 Jul 2001. 2002 thru 2007: More consistent archives, but still likely missing things. Much better coverage though. 2008 thru now: Very good data coverage and higher fidelity archiving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
495weatherguy Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I certainly don’t have an official number, but I would guess fewer than 7 in the 70’s on LI and maybe 4 in the 80’s on LI maybe 4 in the 90’s as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibertyBell Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 January 19 2019 We'll probably get a similar storm to what we had in November (6" or so) in December and that will make that month above normal snowfall, but that will be it for that month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntenseBlizzard2014 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 December 25th, 2018. Seems unusual, yet very possible. The MJO will go for a stronger burst through Phase 7/8/1 through December 20th. Which will make it very favorable for colder and stormier weather a few days later.
