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. 

1993-94 was a great winter in Brooklyn...many storms with sleet and freezing rain along with heavy snow...the only storms that were all snow were clipper type...Christmas eve and night had light snow...

December 29th 1993 had 4" of all snow...

January 26th 1994...4.5" of all snow...

February 26th 1994...1.4" of all snow...

March 18th 1994...2.8" of all snow...

.......................................................................

most of the other winter storms were snow to sleet to rain...December 12th storm was rain to snow...2-4"...

Yes, the pack was like an iceberg.  So many storms mixed like you said.  I have some video of the dusting we had Christmas night somewhere.

There was a 20 inch difference in seasonal accumulations between JFK and LGA, 40 inches at JFK and 60 inches at LGA. 

 

The mix like was always setting up somewhere near the city and the freezing rain and sleet kept numbers down for more southern parts. 

 

Still a great winter for all though.

Yup, I had 54.5" that season.  I don't remember which storm, but I remember it being 18 degrees and pouring freezing rain.  The next morning it was like 3-4" of freezing rain and sleet/snow to clear.  

There was a storm when i was in sixth grade in January.  Was well advertised but sadly over hyped.  pretty much the only one that year. Would have been 1990

 

Remember forecasts for a foot plus

 

got 6

 

anyone remember it?

There was another one in the late 90s, I think either 96-97 or 97-98 that was a big busted forecast. 

 

I remember the news (I think ABC7) had a headline, "The Storm That Fizzled Out." 

It must have been this. i remember going to mini golf birthday party for three kids who had january 4th birthdays

 

looks like a SWFE and why it busted

 

my guess is the city didn't see  much from this

I remember that. Thursday evening before they put out aheavy snow warning for 12 inches But then they dropped it but they still were predicting up to 10 inches of snow for New York City. No I'm at Friday morning actually came in quite heavy for about 20 minutes then it lightened up and it was just a light to moderate snow for the rest of the day and then eventually change to rain we did get almost 6 inches in Queens And it changed to rain pretty much was gone by the next day. 

Still can't believe this happened

 

but unfortunately was a bad omen for the rest of the winter

Biggest storm of the winter for many places...was warm and bone dry right after that...10 day winter in Jan 2012 then back to the torch. 

only problem with the Halloween storm was a miserable 600mb level wedge that killed snow growth at the height of the storm

 

it kept snowing but just never recovered vs areas further West and NW did better

Outside of the 50 50 low the alignment of mid levels is 2nd on the list of ingredients for big snows. We really need that skew T saturated top to bottom the entire time

Newark n j reported 18” on 2/11 and an 18 inch snow depth… that was wrong… there was 9 “ on the ground before the second storm which was around 10”…not 18”…

LOOK how far east the andrea gail was fishing before she came back into the heart of the bombing monster

Funny to watch Cantore on here hyping up his location, which got the smallest amount of snow in the area

 

 

@Analog1888  do you have the link to the old nws forecast discussions?
