there was a period of sleet in the middle of the storm that kept accumulations down otherwise it would have been a 30" storm...

Wow it might have been bigger than the Jan 2016 snowstorm then (it had more total precip didn't it? We did hit 3.0" total precip here in Jan 2016).

Wow, the only three storms on that list that were all snow were the 1947, 1996 and 2016 snowstorms!

I didn't know this happened during the 83 blizzard:

February 11, 1983: Bulk carrier Marine Electric sinks in a savage winter storm, killing 31 of its 34 crew members. In their search for answers, investigators discover that dozens of other carriers are also at risk.

I remember when the NAM gave me 52" 24 hours before Juno lol.  I saved the map but can't find it   

Nam and Euro has 2-3 feet for the NYC area. Upton issued blizzard warnings and the statement that they issued was scary.

Boxing Day is going to be my number 1 for a long time.  The jackpot for that one went right over Staten Island.  Ended up with 30 inches.  

I got 25 inches from the storm

Cars were stuck everywhere in my area.

My favorites overall, without going into detail, are:

2/8/1994 - 2/11/1994, solely for being 11 years old after the nothing winters preceding it.

January 1996, because of course

December 30, 2000, because it was the first big one since 1996, and it happened to bullseye Morris County; 18" in 6 hours.

February 5, 2001, because it over performed and was very pretty

January 2011, since we had some pretty good thunder snow

February 2014, as we had a big front-end thump, and then sleet later on

January 2016, which was more than 1996 in my neighborhood

March 7, 2018, recent, but amazing to see. Devastated my neighborhood with 20"+ of heavy, wet snow bringing down trees and power lines, but the daytime rates in March were amazing to see from the perspective of a weather enthusiast.

I got stuck in that one, took 5 hours to drive 15 miles (parsippany to Montclair). It was a rain snow mix and then just turned to heavy wet snow and started piling up around 3pm

And that was before gps and I didn't even have a cell phone yet

Yes... I drove to school that day, and it was supposed to turn to rain, IIRC. It did for about ten minutes prior to my 8 am class, and then snow again right after that. We had around a foot.

It was a really tough forecast as closer to the city it was rain until late in the day. We kept going back and forth but I don't think they expected 8-12" to pile up in about 6 hours. Kinda similar to the November storm we just had
