Historic was the 2 feet plus in the 90’s in your area.
Right; there have been several storms more “historic” than this. I’ll defer to the New Englanders as to what is historic in their areas, but for NJ this is far from it.
Some of the more damaging storms were simply early enough to cause damage because so many leaves were still in the trees; a few years back we had a storm right before Halloween that took out a lot of power lines (and for that winter we never saw as much snowfall as that October storm, which wasn’t a lot of snow but just at an inopportune time).
South Jersey for years now has a situation where changing weather patterns (certainly not “warming”) are often giving them more snow that northeastern Jersey; prior to that their climate was compared to that of South Carolina.
Blizzards of ‘93. Why I moved to Florida in ‘94. NO MAS!
