It was on an April Tuesday during school break. I took a date to the circus at MSG in the blizzard and heard thunder out on 7th Ave. It was an omen; we got married a few years later and still are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishcast_hater Posted Wednesday at 01:44 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:44 AM Don’t worry. The snow measuring team from Central Park has been deployed down south to accurately measure the snow for New Orleans and the Florida panhandle. Expect the all time records to be reinstated this time tomorrow. No records have been broken. / Sarcasm . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picard Posted Wednesday at 02:14 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:14 AM Apparently, the all time Florida snowfall record is broken. 5" in Pensacola. Not done let. Forecast low is 16. Now that's impressive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU848789 Posted Wednesday at 02:29 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:29 AM Would be a shame if New Orleans doesn't actually break their 8.2" record from 1895, as I'm seeing "only" 8.0" being reported by TWC - could be the official NOLA site didn't get the heaviest bands that others in the city, who got ~12" or more got. Or maybe the Central Park zookeeper was relocated to NOLA. https://x.com/HeatherZWeather/status/1881864306419261762 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover74 Posted Wednesday at 02:35 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:35 AM Upton With a very strong part of the jet stream overhead, known as a jet streak, our weather balloon this evening measured 203 knots (234 mph) at 250 mb (around 33,000 ft)! A 200+ knot wind has only been measured during 10 other launches from our site, dating back to 1952. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly, many reports >9" in the city and probably way better pic/video proof of them now than in 1895. On another note, how are you getting the twitter post thumbnails to appear on this site? I recall reading one had to modify the URL but don't remember the details. https://x.com/NWSNewOrleans/status/1881830656860422395 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
