I think one more area wide moderate event this month will bring it into A- territory.

This winter was on pace for an A+ the grade is slowly coming down week by week. With that said even if we don’t get another substantial snow event lowest I’d drop it would be a C because of early season flurry of storms and extreme duration of cold.

Rating is off a bit.

This winter was excellent because it was front loaded for a change. We had the storm on December 14 and then another one on Boxing Day where I am although I know people west of me got a lot of sleet. To see Christmas decorations in the snow both on the ground and falling with something that is so rare to experience here and I’m glad I got to see it twice. Send the New years day morning snow squall then of course the big storm.. it would be nice to see more snow but at this point, even if we don’t see anything this has been the best winter since 2020-21 and the coldest winter since 2014-15.

b+ winter

I’ll give it a B+ right now, but that can drop to a B if the rest of winter is a dud. Still below average for snow, BUT…

Cold started right after Thanksgiving. And had 10 days of snow cover in December, and impressive snow cover and cold in January.

Need two see a couple substantial snow storms to get into the A territory

Any plowable snow will move it up to A.

how many winters had a snowstorm that was still on the ground over two weeks later with no additional snowfall?...the sleet had a lot to do with it and the cold of course....Newark is over 25" for the season...that's almost as much as the last three winters combined...

I did a little bit more research and I used snowstorms that were at least 6 inches in New York City Central Park.

Today is the 16th day after we had the storm.

16 consecutive minimums below 32

8 consecutive lows in the teens.

The average temperature for the past 16 days has been the lowest after any significant snowfall in my lifetime and it is by a very big margin.

It wasn’t even cold like this after the 5.3 inch snowstorm in January 1977.

It wasn’t like this in January 1978 or February 1978 or PD1 Feb 1979. Neither was it in February 1983 or January 1987 or February 1994 or February 1995 or January 1996 or December 2000 with the millennium storm or after PD2 in February 2003, or after the snowstorm of late January 2004 or after January 2005 or after February 2006 or after December 2009 and the storms in February 2010.

Same thing with any storm between Boxing Day, 2010 and January 28, 2011. Same thing with the winters of 2013.-14 and 2014-15. Certainly not with the blizzard of January 2016.. and not with the storm of Jan 4 2018 and not with any storm during the 2020-21 winter.

Anybody who says that they never saw cold like this in New York City for 16 days after a snowstorm is that going to be an exaggeration? It is 100% right.

Yes impressive as we often see a rain event right after a big snow event. Rare to see it cold dry for 3 weeks after

The way to keep snowcover. No rain!

Right on. This is a very special winter. I don’t think anything could drop a high rating at this point.

Though I do agree, 93-94 had a much bigger impact featuring an impregnable 12-18” consistently reinforced block of sleet snow and ZR that lasted for much of Jan and Feb with temps at least here dipping to -8. Most towns ran out of salt and spread just dirt. It did however have a few quick cutters with one that pumped 60 degree air for like 12 hrs with heavy rain that caused massive ice jams then refroze 12 hrs later.

Without a doubt the cold gets a A. I just feel from the Driscoll Bridge up north and east along I 95 into NYC it is a C for snow. Could of been a winter for the ages if we would of had more snow. Seems like we always struggle to get the cold air and this year we had it. Good thing we got that one big storm in January.

To be fair I said if we dont get another measurable snow I’d give it a C because losing all of Feb and even first couple weeks of March would mean we finished last 6 weeks without any measurable snow.

That winter I had at least 1 inch of snow on my ground for almost 90 consecutive days, which is insane and I will never see that again. But the 12 to 18 inch snowpack was actually not that long. It started on February 8, 1994 commit reached its peak on February 11 and then there was a big thought. I think we had a couple of days in the 60s and it melted some but not the whole thing and then we got colder again late February through March. But we also had storm after the storm after the storm. I believe we have something like 18 storms that winter.
