That was an amazing storm and when I was living in Pelham Bay I actually got the Long Island sound effect snow which really enhanced totals where I lived to over 30 inches but yet in the western part of the Bronx they got quite a bit less.

Probably not I would remember that

 

My first thunder snow was cornel 98

 

2nd was Springfield PD II

 

Since moving to CT I've seen like 5 of them since 2004

The blizzard of 1983 will always be the champ with thundersnow I had it for six consecutive hours and it remains the only time of my life where I saw cloud to ground lightning during a snowstorm. 

You can always snow, but I think all of these all time examples show without a 50/50 regardless of what the models shows you #'s wise- it will not verify unless it's really there.

Truly an incredible storm. Measured 26 here but likely got over 30. For me personally, my all time favorite storm to track. 8 days out and the models locked on. Mid-range it drifted south as always just like '96 did. Then those crazy NAM runs a few days out when it was showing 2-3' widespread. I remember about a day before the storm my friends and family asking me how much I thought we'd get. They were like "Do you think we might get a foot?" And I was like "No no no, you don't understand. A foot is a LOCK. We're getting over 2 feet."

How about the February 24, 1987 snowstorm which gave Philadelphia 2 feet snow in some parts of SE Pennsylvania over 30 inches. Staten Island had over a foot of snow while where I lived in Queens we got 6 inches. 

February 1983...February 2006 and January 2016 were great storms but it got mild fast and all the snow melted in a week or so...Boxing day 4 was melting fast before reinforcements came...The January 1961 storm was basicily on the ground for over three weeks with 16 consecutive days below freezing and mucho more snowfalls on top...The December 1947  Boxing day 3 storm lasted on the ground until mid February...2010 was similar but not as cold...

Great video. I am impressed with the technology that had been already developed at that time.

Heavy rains in California and heavy snow on the tristate area coast. You don't see that every day. 

 

93-94 was such an amazing year.  

 

These back to back systems is one of my favorite events ever. A few days later we also had light freezing rain that coated the snow with a quarter inch of ice. 

 

When I went out for a walk I loved crunching through that icy crust and stepping deep into that snowpack underneath. 

 

Btw here's a radar loop I made of December 2000, the beginning of a epic stretch of blockbuster systems (despite the following year being an epic dud):

 

 

12 2000. Forgot about that one. 28 inches in middletown was actually home from school for it. Epic deform. 

 

One of the few times models had a big storm one way (Miller A) only for it to lose it and turn it into a Miller B and still produce. 

I was in Killington for that one. 

Really wish I could relive 93-94.  It was a great winter, but my father was dying from cancer, so I was obviously not so into things that year.  He passed March 31 when I was 15.  That one ice storm was epic.  A decent amount of storms mixed that year.
