Historical:

 

1863 - A severe coastal storm dropped heavy rain on the Fredericksburg area of Virginia. It disrupted a Union Army offensive in an ill famed "mud march." (David Ludlum)

 

1963: Up to 3" of snow falls on San Francisco, their heaviest since 1887. 

1982 - The second of two major snowstorms to hit southern Minnesota came to an end. Minneapolis received 20 inches of snow in 24 hours to break the previous record of 17 inches in 24 hours established just a few days earlier. A record 38 inches of snow covered the ground following the two storms, with drifts ten feet high. (David Ludlum)

1985 - Three days of snow squalls at Buffalo NY finally came to an end. The squalls, induced by relatively warm water in Lake Erie, produced 34 inches of snow at the International Airport, with up to 47 inches reported in the suburbs of Buffalo. The New York "blizzard of '85" left many counties disaster areas. (19th-21st) (Weather Channel) (Storm Data) President Reagan was sworn in for a second term in the coldest Inauguration Ceremony of record. Cold and wind resulted in wind chill readings as much as 30 degrees below zero. (Sandra and TI Richard Sanders - 1987)

1985: Jacksonville, Florida, recorded its all-time record low of 7 degrees. Macon, Georgia, had its coldest day ever with a temperature of 6 degrees.  It was the coldest Inauguration day in history as President Reagan is sworn in for a second term during cold and winds that resulted in wind chill readings of 30 degrees below zero. Because of the bitter cold temperatures, many outdoor Inauguration events were canceled, and President Reagan was sworn in the Capitol Rotunda.

1987 - Low pressure over Minnesota produced high winds in the Northern Plains Region. Winds gusted to 66 mph at Rapid City SD, and reached 70 mph at Belle Fourche SD. (National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - High pressure over northern Nevada and low pressure off the coast of southern California combined to produce high winds in the southwestern U.S. Wind gusts in the San Francisco area reached 70 mph at Fremont. (National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1989 - Cold and snow prevailed in the northeastern U.S. Up to 13 inches of snow was reported between Woodford and Searsburg in Vermont. Montpelier VT reported a wind chill reading of 42 degrees below zero. (National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1990 - Unseasonably warm weather prevailed across the state of Florida. Eight cities reported record high temperatures for the date, including West Palm Beach with a reading of 86 degrees. Rain in southern New England changed to freezing rain, then to sleet, and then to heavy snow during the late morning. Most of Massachusetts was blanketed with 6 to 10 inches of snow. (National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

 

1999: A major tornado outbreak occurred from the southwest into central and northeast Arkansas during the afternoon and evening. In the Little Rock Area, 30 tornadoes tracked across 15 counties. Homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed in Little Rock, Beebe, McRae, and areas farther north and east. Eight deaths resulted from the tornadoes, with 140 to 150 injuries also reported.

What a radar image - would have been interesting to see the 1895 storm satellite and radar and how it compared to this.

 

We actually had one of our coldest Februaries that month around 24° in NYC. So the record cold is much less extensive this time around with the core going to our south and west again. More narrowly focused Arctic outbreaks covering smaller geographic regions has become the new normal. Just like we were much colder during past instances then when Texas got record cold compared to February 2021.

Good point, Superstorm of 1993 the last one.

This is the breakdown by month, historically for 6 inch storms.

No. 6 + inch snows by Month, NYC Central Park
5 2.6% November
38 19.4% December
49 25.0% January
66 33.7% February
31 15.8% March
7 3.6% April
196 100.0% Total

Thanks for the list!  Didn't we have an April 6" snowstorm just a few years ago-- 2018, I think it was? And a November 6" snowstorm in 2018 too (the following season.)

You're thinking of the November 15, 2018 storm of 6.4 inches which is on the list at No. 162.

The April 2, 2018 storm they measured 5.5 in the Park, the same at LGA, JFK was less 3.7.

And 93 was barely.

2017 was within 2.5 inches I believe.

 

March 21, 2018 was the closest at 8.4 inches.

March 1-2, 2009 at 8.3. The March 14 2017 you reference was 7.6, March 5 2015 was 7.5

Those four are the closest to cracking 10 inches in March since the superstorm of 93.

March 2009 was the closest one to 10" here, parts of Long Island had up to 16"

March 2018 was heaviest over Central Long Island, Farmingdale had close to 20"

March 1993 would have been 20" + with a benchmark track. Newark got 17" in that one if I remember correctly and the 10" line got all the way out to Oceanside (JFK had 12".)

Newark got 11" then 6 hours of heavy sleet. Then a flip to rain before a changeover back to snow with 3" on top. It was like cement that didn't melt for a week

If it was all snow 24-28" would've been likely as they got 2.75" of liquid

If I were a betting man, I would wager we see a 10 plus in the next few years. Time an Arctic plunge with the warmer water temps and boom.

I would agree.

There have been numerous March storms with 10+ surrounding the park since 1993, and they've come within 1.5-2.5 inches 3 times in the last 10 years.
