Long Beach had 14-15” from Juno but probably 30” from Jonas. Yeah and TWC retired the name Jonas lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 While we await the pattern change to a potentially snowy pattern, one unforgettable past storm was the Boxing Day Blizzard of 2010. Until close to the event, many models showed only a minor event. Things changed rapidly, as detailed in snippets from NWS area forecast discussions. By the time the snow ended, snowfall totals included: Atlantic City: 19.0" Bricktown, NJ: 30.0" Butler, NJ: 22.0" Drifts to four feet Elizabeth, NJ: 31.8" Harriman, NY: 26.0" Islip: 14.2" Jersey City: 26.0" Lincoln Park, NJ: 29.0" Drifts over three feet Lyndhurst, NJ: 29.0" New York City: 20.0" Newark: 24.2" North Massapequa, NY: 23.5" Philadelphia: 12.4" Rahway, NJ: 32.0" Upton, NY: 18.8" 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the greats. Interesting storm here. Normally the LE that we received would have been enough to get us easily into the 15 - 20" range, but the high winds and fractured snowflakes struggled to get past 12". If memory serves, there was also some graupel, but mostly I remember the wind. That was a great year for snow cover. The December snow dwindled down to 2" by 1/7, but then replenished and we had constant snow cover of at least 2" until February 28, with 10" or more from January 12 to February 17. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I was stuck at my sisters place in Leonardo, NJ. There was a drift up the side of her house that was 6 feet. Took snow plows 5 days to plow her street. Unreal event. One of my top 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 12/26/10 was an amazing event in Long Beach. All out blizzard conditions most of that night. We probably ended with around 18”. We were in heavy snow for most of it but the best banding was to the west. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormlover74 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 It's been 20 years since a significant early season snowstorm blanketed the area and ushered in of the metro's greatest winters with snow falling into April. A year later an even bigger storm hit the area with many places receiving 12-18" http://www.raymondcmartinjr.com/weather/2003/05-Dec-02.html http://www.raymondcmartinjr.com/weather/2004/05-Dec-03.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got so exhausted tracking for days and the delay of its onset that I fell asleep right before it started and woke up in the morning just after it ended. I hate night time snowstorms....

To get max accumulations and minimum societal impacts, overnight storms are what you want. Drink a cup of coffee at 8pm and get over yourself.

You can have great day time snowstorms any time of the snow season. Remember April 2003? That was absolutely amazing and one of my all time favorites.

Oh, yea i remember that storm very well What a horrible way to end a great season. In CT it was a major bust, might be top 5 of all time. We went from a watch converted to warning for 6-12 with very strong wording - near blizzard conditions and snowfall rates of 1-3" per hour. Very light white rain during the morning and afternoon later changed to a mixture of snow, sleet and graupel. We ended up with about an inch of slop. I remember the radar being extremely disorganized and showery in nature, storm never really got its act together. You guys in the NYC/LI area definitely did better but i do remember it being nearly all on grassy surfaces/car tops/benches etc with a lot of the roads just wet. Looks like a general 4-7" or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. It was about 6 inches here....I guess the rates are what kept it mostly snow here (changed to drizzle right at the end) and some of the heaviest daytime snow I saw that year-- which is saying a lot lol.

Volcanic Winter Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Thinking of better times. With the exception of 1/29/22 which gave me 16 inches here at the Toms River / Manchester border, 1/4/18 was the last storm that really bulls-eyed me relative to the rest of the subforum, though Long Island also got clobbered. This was a fantastic storm that I constantly think back to. And up at my office west of EWR. That was an extremely challenging (but fun, I’m a psycho) commute up the parkway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my very few all day zero visibility blizzards! I call it semi- January 2016, because everything about it (snowfall totals, blizzard duration, etc.) was exactly half of January 2016! I really loved that all day white out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volcanic Winter Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Yup!! Was a fun one. You can see in the pic my old 6 speed BMW 128i; didn’t have my WRX yet and there was no way in hell that car was making it 60 miles up the parkway in that kind of storm. At that time I would borrow my dad’s F150 and damn, what a harrowing commute that was. Worst parkway conditions I’ve personally driven on in quite a few years. It was an engaging ride to say the least lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost no cars were out on the Parkway at this time, held my phone up to the side to take a few images after slowing to a crawl with no cars ahead or behind me. It was just freaky. I don’t remember if there was a state of emergency or an order to stay off the roads, but I’ll never forget how deserted both commutes were. Very few times I can recall the parkway looked like this (with respect to a complete lack of car density). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to go way back through thousands of camera roll pics and screenshot them to get them to the top to easily find in my Imgur app, so forgive the goofy way I had to post them. When I have time I’ll try to go back through them and email to myself and them upload and post the images properly, I also should have a few more I didn’t post for you. So you can have the actual proper images. Just need some time and I can do that for you. I’ll tag you with a reply when I do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
