There have been, the Eagles won the Championship in an all out blizzard in 1949 I think. But the NFL has become a bit of a girly league lately about a lot of things.

Gr8 Eagles teams in the late 40's... As for the weather, go snow.

As you can infer from the WV, the ridge axis is CURRENTLY centered just east Boise, ID, which is near the ideal spot! Obviously, it'll move a bit east, but right now, during the very crucial time in the storm's development, we have the ridge axis in a perfect spot...allowing a very steep, potent northern stream to dive down at a very good spot.

If the storm becomes strong enough can it halt the ridge axis's movement?

DEC 92 had winds of over 85MPH at KJFK I believe.

No doubt Dec 1992 is top dog but that was mostly a rainstorm. I would love to know other than March 1993(which also was not all snow) if there has been an all snow storm with winds like that.

<br />What was the highest recorded winds in that storm and are sure you don't mean March 1993?<br />

I dont know what the highest wind speeds were,but with reports AND pictures of 15-20 foot drifts,75+MPH with gusts approaching near 100 would seem appropro.

Excellent point and that was definitely the second thing to stand out at me on that water vapor loop

I actually think the winds I saw last March were the strongest I had ever seen-- 80 mph gusts!

I have requested wind record data for JFK and LGA but no one seems to have them :(

I want to know what the highest wind speeds that were recorded in noreasters were in our area.

I think I have EWR's..... they actually came in a triple phaser that tracked through the Ohio Valley in November 1950.... something like 98 mph lol.

Besides that, I know NYC recorded 113 mph in Hurricane Hazel that passed well west of us.

Strongest winds I saw were with the SEPT 16 macroburst.The March Noreaster had 75MPH gusts in Westchester.

Thanks! And yeah, it's amazing to see all of that energy riding over the top of that ridge and sprinting back down...it almost gives me goosebumps. It doesn't feel real!

Burning my last 5 post, but Eagles game is an 8 pm start, not a 1 pm start. .44 liquid equivalent by 7 pm per Euro, better than a 10:1 fluff factor at -9ºC. Guess 6 to 8 inches. .44 falls during 6 hour period, guess over an inch per hour with fluff factor.

If it wasn't the NBC game of the week, I'd guess cancellation for certain, but maybe the NFL doesn't want to canx the equivalent of the old Monday Night Football, the one big national game

.

I posted last page based on assumed 1 pm EST start, and I'd hate to get anyone roadtripping to PHL. I have no idea whether it'd be canx or not.

A football game played in a blizzard would generate higher ratings because people like to watch football played in the snow. They make money from advertising revenue even if no one shows up to the game.
