But in those maps, either c or d would be good for us, so based on those numbers 38.9% of the time we should have normal to below normal temperatures, while 47.0% of the time we have normal to above normal temperatures (what happened to what's left over-- that doesn't add up to 100% lol.)

 

Those maps do not show troughing in the central plains. So geographically 1/3 however not sure the true percentages. Perhaps 20% east coast, 35% central and 45% west? Let me know if you find it.

Did you see Tony's historical record for today: looks on this day in 1989 we had an icy storm:

1989 - A winter storm spread snow and sleet and freezing rain from the Middle Mississippi Valley to the northeastern U.S. Freezing rain in West Virginia caused fifteen traffic accidents in just a few minutes west of Charleston. Tennessee was deluged with up to 7.5 inches of rain. Two inches of rain near Clarksville TN left water in the streets as high as car doors.

Was a terrible snowfall year.

Yeah, that’s why parts of Suffolk went over 90” in 95-96 since they caught some of the storms that tracked too far east for NYC.

and BNL (NWS office) had 90.9 inches, if I remember correctly?

I think NYC-Long Island are capable of getting 100 inches in the perfect pattern that lasts most of the season; in the historical record there are a couple of winters in the civil war or pre civil war era where both New York City and Philadelphia received 100 inches of snow and there was constant snowcover from Thanksgiving to St Patrick's Day.

NYC Metro was one of the few areas in the DC to Boston big city corridor that couldn’t set a new all-time seasonal snowfall record during the 2010 to 2018 period.

I thought we were going to do it in 13/14.

I remember having 58 inches IMBY, with the GFS showing a 16 inch event and two snowstorms lined up!

Unfortunately the PV pushed all the snow to the DC area that March.

We could have done it if the epic 33 day snowy period when Newark got over 60” in 10-11  would have lasted longer.

If the block in 09-10 was a little weaker, than NYC could have challenged 95-96.

Wow, 76 on the season in Toms River? That’s very respectable.  I lived up in North Brunswick then, moved down this way early 2012.

13-14 had too many mixing storms.... 14-15 could have done it because it was colder but the winter started too late, but even so, that ended up being Boston's big winter.

Its the GFS.  Please incorporate Canadian into the thinking.  A period of snow yes... snowstorm too soon to know for me. 

Hi Walt. Just a question. Why do you lean on the Canadian so much? Doesn’t it have the lowest verification scores of all the main globals?

2013-14 had almost 60" prior to March 1st. We easily could've had 70+ that winter

for the coast though we had a lot less because a lot of those big storms mixed here.

I liked 2014-15 more, because it was much colder and more long lasting snowpack.

2013-14 and 2014-15 back to back was almost like 2009-10 and 2010-11 back to back.

I was the opposite had more mixing 14/15 than 13/14. DC did far far better 13/14.

Same 2014 I mixed with the VD storm otherwise it was cold. December had a few snow to ice events too.

Feb 2015 despite being frigid had few all snow events

You didn't get a lot in January 2015 either did you? We had about a foot (busted on the 3 foot call though lol-- that came the following January.)

I looked up NYC snowfall totals they were 50+ both seasons, the main differences were that although February was snowy in 2015 it was nearly historic in 2014, and March was much snowier in 2015, while we got zero snow in March 2014, but I have a lot better memories of 14-15 because it was backloaded.... nearly 20 inches of snow in March 2015 made it my snowiest March ever.

Who wants arctic air ? I rather have it just cold enough for snow.

Enjoy Tuesday and next weekend before it gets mild for a brief time.

Oh sign me up man I’m all about it!  13–14 and 14–15 (the former more so) were my glory days!  Snowing with single-digit temps is the best it gets IMO!
