I didn’t really get into weather until the 95-96 winter which will probably be the most epic of my life if I stay here in the NYC area. But it was much worse not too far to the south. Philly had half nyc's snowfall and DC had very little. I was fortunate to be in state college for most of it and got over 110" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 93-94 I lived in Babylon and was commuting to Port Washington. It was frustrating seeing the difference every day. My oldest was born that January and on the day we brought him home from the hospital, there was 3" of snow in Manhasset and it rained at home. February made up for it a little, but so much sleet. 95-96 was my first winter here and I've never looked back, although haven't come within 2 feet of that winter's 95" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The meat of the storm came in, insanely heavy snow for about an hour, then the rain snow line set up just north of the bay for hours while it kept dumping over NYC and north of Sunrise Highway, maybe even Merrick Road. That really sucked. Feb 2011 was another situation where the North Shore held onto a tremendous snowpack while a few degrees here and there chopped Long Beach’s snowpack down big time. The 10-11 final snow amounts weren’t too dissimilar in the NYC metro area but there was the Feb 1-2 storm and one other that had a coastal front which spiked the south shore up but didn’t make it to the north shore. North Shore might’ve made it to 33 briefly, I hit 40 in Long Beach and with the humid air/rain, destroyed the snowpack. Long Beach is a great place for many reasons, snow is NOT one of them. Except for on 1/25/16, 30” there and I was living in Texas. My first of all time most infuriating winter storm. February 1, 2011 was a big disappointment, but it did overall add to the snowpack. We had an inch of snow and a bunch of freezing rain and I think some plain rain but when it was over, there was a lot of ice to scrape off the driveway and the SWE of the snowpack had increased. My records show a high temp of 33° on the 1st and 36° on the 2nd. Snow depth on Feb 1 was 22", but decreased to 21" on Feb 2. As for 2/13/14. If I'd endured that on the south shore it would have been the impetus to move. Great storm up here! There was more going on that day though. Later in the storm we had freezing rain while there was plain rain in Orange County. Some posters there didn't believe it, but it was what it was. Never figured out what magic that was because it was only the north shore in the western half of Suffolk, but the net effect was sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember our local news talking about all the snow Boston had that year. Could you imagine if this forum was around back then lol. I didn't even have internet until 2000. So basically you could compare 1993-94 to 2014-15 but in an opposite way....in the first case we had borderline storms here and more snow north of us, in the second case we were plenty cold enough (January onwards), but the storms were stronger north and east of us. I'd actually rather have 2014-15 over 1993-94. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of that storm alone I'd pick 2014-15 as the better winter over 2013-14. That area where you live is near the snow capital of Long Island. Based on data from your site as well as local reports, maybe just east of there and closer to Mt Sinai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the ice storms made up for some lower snowfall totals. We had close to 85 inches in 1995-96....JFK low snowfall tally is highly suspect.

The south shore always gets its biggest snowstorms in strong el ninos.....it's just how it is. Feb 1983, PD 2, Jan 2016...... need I say more?

North and West Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 This winter sucks it’s been cold and our usually snowiest month is February. For what it’s worth, this is exactly the kind of winter we had around here when I was a kid: cold, small events, snow to rain.We just had a major storm last February, and it doesn’t happen every year.Now I sound like my dad to my younger self over thirty years ago.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so if we're talking about 1988-89 and 1990-91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
