1996 had a much longer duration.  But as far as snow intensity, I have never seen it snow as heavily as it did on the night of 12/26/10.

I was out for a long walk and there were a few times where it was difficult to know where I was.

96 was better. So was march 18

There is a big gap in the radar scope images unfortunately for 96. I was really in the mood to post that one 

There’s 12-24 hours of missing images.. this is only other piece

Agreed.  I remember 1 hour measuring between 4-5" for boxing day

1996 and 1983 were similar on my block in Brooklyn...long duration storms compact more before it ends...1983 and 2010 were shorter duration storms...

1983...64st between 11th and 12th Ave...12/2010 on Victory Blvd near the teleport...2/03 from College Ave on Staten Island...

1996...

2003 on College Ave and Clinton-Fisk Ave in Staten Island...

2010 on Victory Blvd looking at the back of the Teleport...

today, 23 years ago was the latest I ever saw snow, May 18, 2002 and it was on a Sunday, like this year, the night before was a wind blown rain noreaster and the wind picked up and i saw the temps go from 43 degrees at 6 am, to 38 degrees by 9 am, the rain was heavy and i saw snow mix in, by 10 am it was pure snow with temps at 34, and accumulated  inches, tapered to flurries and ended by noon with temps staying around 36 degrees, the catskills got over a foot.  my brother in law in Elka Park catskills 2800 feet up measured 16 inches.  This was amazing considering it was a very warm and dry winter of 01-02

I was listening to a WABC radio broadcast from November 29th 1967 which was the day before NYC got 3-4" of snow with temperatures well below freezing...At the start of the show the forecast was for rain developing tomorrow and continuing into the night...By the end of the show the revised forecast was for rain and snow developing...that's what we were up against when trying to figure out what the weather was going to be the next day...

40 years ago today on May 31, 1985 there was a great tornado outbreak in Ohio and especially Pennsylvania parts of upstate New York and even into Ontario. There were two F 5s in Pennsylvania and several F4s. Close to 100 people were killed. The squall line of thunderstorms came into the New York City metropolitan area shortly after midnight on June 1 and there was incredible lightning displays and even hail. What made the so incredible was the fact that for a line of thunderstorms to survive the trek from western Pennsylvania all the way to off of the East Coast and at night and at night time is something that is extremely rare. I will never forget that lightning display. I believe someone said that in that storm for New York City Metro there was something like 11,000 CTG strikes from Eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey  through Long Island and Connecticut

I was driving to Pennsylvania that night in 85 and you could not listen to am radio with all the lightning strikes in the distance...

I had the Yankee game on...not sure if they one but when I got to the house it started hailing...I was surprised no windows were broken but my block was stripped of most of the tree leaves...some ice was on the ground the next morning...
