Volcanic Winter Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Yeah, remember watching the radar and looking at the precipitation shield struggle to push back onto the Jersey coast. Was like, “yeahhhhh this isn’t happening.” Definitely the most prominent negative bust in my memory. We’ve really had some fun storms though, bad years be damned. Nothing but amazing memories of NJ snow (obligatory yes I grew up during a good period, there were other good periods in the past it’s more likely the unholy era people refer to so frequently was just bad IMO). Sorry, had a few tonight. Resin Double IPA, good stuff! Drowning away my sorrows while it’s drowning rain outside and, *checks Tempest*, 52 degrees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Long Beach-my home town, Jan 2015 was a very impressive but not historic event, about 15” there. Jan 2016 was all time historic, 24-30”. You can imagine what gut punches those were.

Jan 2016 was our one and only 30" :-) I got 30" at both my houses, two states apart, and that requires some doing, it was a straight latitude storm.

I have no idea really what Long Beach got in Jan 2015, I was going by other Nassau totals and pictures I saw from around town that looked like around that much. Jan 2016 it was clear was probably an all timer. My benchmark personally is Jan 1996 and the snow looked even deeper than that. My brother sent me a picture of our garage almost totally buried. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like the Alps used to look in 1996 lol. It even beat PD2 although that was our previous record holder In Jan 1996 the snow drifts were so high the SUVs were getting stuck in them all over town. It all melted a week later in a flooding rainstorm and roof collapses though. That was a snowy winter with thaws in between, which is utterly fine.

Had cpk not gotten 5” from a freak sound effect band before the mane precip shield it would have been a total non event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that but that's the first time I've ever heard of sound effect getting into Manhattan lol. The 30" from Jan 2016 was a once in a lifetime experience and completely wiped out my memory of Jan 2015, which to me was a superior winter to 13-14.
