I cannot remember any more of the specifics of that more than half century ago event. I was wondering if you can, Unc. As always .... it snowed a little on 3/17 in 1959, 1960, 1965, 1967...could have been any of those years...1967 was a cold snowstorm for this time of the year... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenCtyWx Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Stroudsburg, PA, not far from where I live, evidently recorded 35.4" total and 6.8" in one hour from the March 20, 1958 storm. Much of that also occurred in the middle of the day with temperatures around freezing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down to 13° at Central Park as the snow was ending. At our NNJ home we had a windblown 6" in 5 hours as the temp slid from 13 to 8, remarkable for so late in the season. (And minima the next 2 days were zero and -3; 10 and 8 a Central Park.) IIRC, the forecast for that clipper was 1-3 or 1-2, but it really grew up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaMike Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Hey guys, I've been running WRFv4.2.2 simulations for funzies lately. I configured WRFv4.2.2 w/1 parent (12km) and one nested (4km) domain. My nested domain (4km) encompasses all of New York City. If you'd like to view graphics of some notorious weather events, click the links below ... Keep in mind, my focal point is New England so some of these events weren't that interesting for the New York City area.

Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Personally, Hurricane Belle, 1978 forecast change to rain that didn't happen no school day, and Blizzard of 1978 5 days no school day, storm drains to Great South Bay and storm surge creating greenish/salt water tinged snow near drains. AmWx, joy of Sabbath observant posters, who logged off at dusk thinking it was storm cancel, logging back on the next evening to mode shifts/blizzard warnings Boxing Day. My family and I vacationed with our Jewish neighbors in Curacao, they weren't observant, but I've seen a red tagger here and a Twitter 'Bobbi Storm' who are Sabbath observant and wondering if there is a connection. (I think I tagged Anthony on FB once, I am claiming Italian-American ancestry, my brother's Ancestry search, the 'Grossman' ancestor from Padua, not Austro-Hungarian as we'd always thought. 1/8th English, Marshfield, 3 Mayflower ancestors. Marshfield is the next town to Plymouth, possible. Mostly Irish ancestry, but not like NYC, or especially Mom's native South Boston, where stuff like that mattered).

Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Hurricane Belle was my first exposure to cable TV. Dad's co-worker, Eddie Harkin, lived in North Massapequa and Nassau Shores had an evacuation order. Uprooted weeping willow trees, if not removed, don't die. Dad would not let me go outside the Harkin's house to experience a hurricane. Power went out moments before what would have been my first R rated movie...

coastalplainsnowman Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Watching the first NFL game of the year tonight, it occurred to me that the most recent NFL game was the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb 7th. That was the day/evening of that perfectly timed, pretty, moderate snowfall that left beautiful skies and cold crisp air in its wake at dusk. Made for a perfect night of football watching. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
