New Year's Day Fun Tidbit for NYC: A Look Back

#1 Postby donsutherland1 » Fri Mar 18, 2005 6:43 pm

On December 31, 2004, I noted:

On 22 prior occasions, NYC saw a high temperature of 50° or above. 7 (32%) seasons saw 30” or more snowfall; 8 (36%) seasons saw less than 20” snowfall. Average seasonal snowfall: 27.6”. However, for those seasons that had seen 3” or more snow in December, the average climbed to 34.1” with 6 of those 12 (50%) seasons seeing 30” or more. Just 2 of those 12 seasons (17%) received less than 20”.

Snowiest such season: 53.2”, 1906-07
Least snowy such season: 2.8”, 1972-73


January 1, 2005 saw a high temperature of 60° in NYC. In addition, December 2004 had received 3.0" of snow.

New York City's seasonal snowfall through March 18 stood at 40.0".
