LibertyBell Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 18 minutes ago, bluewave said: I think 95-96 will be too tough to beat since we haven’t had wall to wall snow and cold from late November into early April since then. 10-11 was the only season that could have made a challenge but the snows cut off too early at the start of February. Most of our snowy years since 10-11 only had big snows over 1-3 months. Warming winters mean shorter duration snowy intervals. So 75” in NYC and near 90” on Long Island will hard to replicate without more extensive cold and more favorable Pacific patterns. 02-03 was wall to wall too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also 13/14 was as close to wall to wall as you can get and may have broken the record if not for the March suppression. we dont have that kind of climate though, at that latitude you can have that sort of thing happen....Boston is like the arctic compared to NYC...10-11 is the best this area can do in a 6 week timespan We'd much rather have a wall to wall winter anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our record is lower due to latitude, so we need less snow to break the record. I can think of a single reason as to why it can't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it was our last cold winter here. NYC can’t make it past 50” without a colder winter. So even 50” will remain out of reach for NYC with these warmer winters since 15-16.

I can think of a single reason as to why it can't happen. The record is close to 80, I don't see that happening in a short time span...it's pretty much unprecedented and not part of our climate. Actually if you go back in history, our record is closer to 100" according to Ludlum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The climate argument is irrelevant in this discussion. The point is that it’s not unfathomable to get into a 6 week stretch like Bos did in 2015. It’s obviously would take luck but that’s what is needed to make a good pattern special 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastal water temps are less of a concern in March. You cannot say that in 14 those March storms would snow in DC and not CPK. In that theory DC would do better than Boston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking CPK here not coastal NJ or Brooklyn. There's not that much of a difference between coastal NJ and Brooklyn and NYC.....if you look at late season patterns, I'd argue that Brooklyn and coastal NJ actually do better than NYC because of what you said before about colder water temps...vs Manhattan being much more urbanized. There's a few storms that prove this....April 1996 and April 1997 being near the top of the list. Still not historic but 10" is definitely possible late in the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
