Premature comment. Snow season ends June 30th. I am above normal already. Technically near normal. You can't expect every back yard to have the same results. Point is... People forget or don't use common sense. Above normal Winters don't mean no cold or snow
You don't get 2 feet+ of snow usually so 1 or 2 storms do not make it above normal for the season. Sure it helps but you need more events. Big storms don't happen all the time.
Last March we got more than our yearly average from one storm.
was in the low 20s this morning so near normal maybe a bit above. Windy, sign of polar air coming. Wind chill was 10°F, but didn't feel like 10°F; except on my face when walking into the wind — wind chill is a bit misleading.
Cool. Thanks. I know Islip and Bridgeport have also. And how many times did that happen in history of records?
That one started overnight and ended up being distributed over 2 days, so it's hard to tell. The most snow we've ever received in one day is 13.4" in January 1943.
Lexington:
Season Normal Snowfall: 13"
Number of times with a 10"+ snowfall: 6 since 1888
Philly:
Season Normal Snowfall: 22.4"
Number of times with a 20"+ snowfall: 4 since 1885
Hartford:
Season Normal Snowfall: 40.5"
Number of times with a 24"+ snowfall: 1 since 1905
Getting an entire season worth of snow with 1 storm is rare. So the notion that 1 big storm can give you above normal snowfall is false hope.
2 definitely can get you up there except for Hartford. They don't usually get 20"+ snowstorms! But even 2 12" snowstorms for Philly is not likely. Only happened 13 times in last 131 years!! So even the notion of 2 big ones is kinda false since it doesn't really happen in 1 season..
Only happened once in Philly in 2010. (Dec 19, 2009 & Feb 5-6,2010)
It's more likely here since the average is much lower.
