Dec 92 in orange county was very poorly forecasted. Nyc stations didn't give much time to the nw burbs.   Waking up to a foot if snow at 6am when nothing was forecasted was an epic positive bust. It snowed Thusday to Saturday.  Epic 

Witnessed this first hand. Was coming back from turning stone casino

What was interesting about that storm was that places that got heavy snow just a few miles away some places got no snow with a combination of warmer temperatures at lower levels and also because of upsloping. Milford Pennsylvania got a couple of Slushii inches in town but you go up route six to the west up higher in elevation and there was 8 to 10 inches and then coming home between Route 84 and Route 87 on route 17 that was one of the most epic blizzards I've ever experienced on that Saturday late afternoon into the evening. 
 

I believe Harriman New York ended up with about 20 inches yet by the Tappan Zee bridge it was only a couple of inches And by the time I get down to the Bronx any snow that fell early that day was melted

To this day I have never seen a sky become that pitch black and so quickly it was like the apocalypse.

I feel like we saw a solid line of storms come down from the northwest all the time back in the 90s

Seemed like it happened in May a lot.  I remember in high school games being delayed or canceled from a line of storms right as school was ending.

here's a newspaper account of heavy thunder storms in 1878 that set the record rainfall for this date...

Yup. And summer babe Ruth.  Storms at 5pm every game. 

December 3 2003 an often forgotten and under rated storm. Beautiful deform band western mass down CT into long Island. 

I almost forgot this. Thursday afternoon December 92 WAA snow blasted through northern areas.   Figured it would be like the 80s storms where the rain came next. That was a turn the worm storm

I wish the nesis maps were more accurate. So many storms where far more fell than the maps show. Very white washed pun intended
