Thankfully for me, the storm is on Wednesday. If it was tomorrow, it would have been bad. If we need to have this kind of a storm this week, it picked the perfect day. Don't need to do anything Wednesday or Thursday!

1971 (Feb. had only a trace and March 1.3")
1980
1981 (trace in Feb. and March 8.6"!)
1982 (0.4" in Feb. and 0.7" in Mar.)
1984 (just 0.2" in Feb. and 11.9" in Mar.)
1989
1990
1992 (1.9" in Feb. but 9.4" in March!)

1993 (the only one (in the last 50 years, I didn't look further) until 2015 where both Feb. and March had over 10" (Feb. 10.7", March 11.9" thanks to the famous "Superstorm")

1998 (no snow fell in Feb., only time in Central Park's almost 150 year history....actually this was a really weird winter where the only snow all winter was 0.5" in January and it looked like a new record for least snowiest winter would happen, but then 5" fell on March 22.....a new record for "latest first 1 inch or more", but before you go all bananas, previous record was just a few days earlier in March in 1919!)

1999
2004
2007
2009
2015 (super winter! 13.6" in one of the coldest modern Februaries, than 18.6" in the snowiest March since 1960!)
2017 (both months had over 9" of snow, 9.4" Feburary, 9.7" March)


In fact, while there are several Marches (though not the majority) with only a trace of snow or even less than an inch for the month, the only Marches (and this is NYC, not the snowier parts just to the north) with no snow at all are 1878, 1894, 1903 and 2012!

Interesting..thanks for posting. A bit surprising actually. Can you do a December to March out of curiousity?

Ok, I had to check. Apparently does happen. Interesting.


Years March had more snow than February. 24 of 68 yrs on record did. Only 9 times with more than 5 inches though.


Last time we had a snowier March than February was 2009. Been 9 yrs!


The line represents how much March was different from February.


1956 was the biggest difference. Feb 1956 only had 2" while March 1956 had 19.4"!

Accuweather snowfall total forecast. Bernie said they may have to push the 6-12" line southeast more.

In Greenwich today... So many people going on 4 days without power and now we got this snowstorm coming. Not good. Only 1700 in CT though. 105,000 in NY. 1000,000 in PA.

It will slow the progress down for utility companies. Poles, Wires, Transformers being replaced. It takes time.





A lot of this seen around

All the pieces. The "hose" is the source of the moisture... Tropical Pacific Ocean. Been all winter and always produces a lot

Status quo. All models showing 6"+ for us

I'd say stay off the roads after ... 2pm? Have to play by eye Wednesday.

I'll let Cambium do it for BDR. I'll go back to that Central Park chart and look at the last 50 years:

1968
1972
1973 (only 0.2" in March, but just a Trace in December)
1974
1975 (again, very light, 0.3" in March vs. 0.1" in December)
1976
1978
1980
1981
1984 (huge difference, 11.9" in March vs. 1.6" in December)
1987
1989
1990
1992 (another big one, 9.4" in March vs. 0.7" in December)
1993 (again, 11.9" March, 0.4" December)
1994 (a rare one where both are big, 8.1" in March, 6.9" in December)
1996 (as befits this record winter, both are over 10", 13.2" in March, 11.5" in December)
1997 (but one year later, just 1.7" in March and a Trace in December)
1998 (no snows over 1" until March so this makes sense)
1999
2000 (a wimpy one, 0.4" in March, and just a trace in December)
2005
2007 (a rare snowless December (the others are 1878 and 2012, 6" in March)
2009
2013 (7.4" in March, just 0.4" in March)
2015 (HUGE difference, 18.6" in March and just 1" in December)
2017

Note that despite saying above that 2012 was a snowless December, it's not on this list. That's because it was also a snowless March which as I noted in my last post on this, is rarer than people think. That was a weird winter, it snowed the previous October 29, then did not snow again until January, just 0.2" in February, and no more snow at all after that.
