in the NE, as opposed to not so normal in Dallas, et al.
But, Louis, you've lived in both places so you know that (and I note that
you chose to live TX, not stay in NJ).
------------
BTW, your friend's report sounds like the weather in Cent. NY is cycling a
bit warmer this year (at least so far; winter is far from over for them). I
left that area over 25 years ago (have never missed it!), and while I was
there we had quite a variety of winters, ranging from 91 inches of snow one
January (the year Buffalo FD survived on borrowed mini-pumpers because their
streets were too snow-clogged for full-sized engines) to the year I worked
for a snowplowing contractor and we got only one storm over two inches (but
it was less than six) all winter. (Should I say I "worked" for the
contractor? That, btw, is my sort of luck.) As for cold, when my first child
was born, it was -23F (December), and when my second was born we had 24
inches of snow in about six hours (April), but there was at least one winter
where the temperature hardly ever went below 0F.
(My second and third were b. February in CA. In both cases, it was
shirtsleeve weather. Took baby pix of the third one outdoors.)
One storm I vividly remember that I wasn't there for was 4 October 1987. It
occurred the same day we had the major aftershock of the Whittier Narrows
quake. They had wet snow and freezing rain that overloaded the
still-leaf-laden trees and threw the area into a state of emergency with
power outages for several days, power crews from the local company and from
as far away as PA, NYC, NJ, CT. Their death toll was the same for that storm
as for the quake, in a population 3% of LA metro. (On the fourth, we had
high temps at or over 100F. Denver papers were reporting, "LA: SHAKE AND
BAKE".) (My mother passed away in Albany 1 Oct 2006, and I got her death
cert. on 4 Oct. That 19th anniversary of the storm, is was sunny and warm
[for there].)
I lived through the storm in NYC of 9-11 Feb 1969 (Sunday, one of the last
people out of JFK for three days; on Monday, the three-hour-schedule bus
trip to Baltimore took five hours from Manhattan to the NJ Turnpike). My
grandmother was b. Syracuse about the time of the Blizzard of '88 (1888).
Both were notable for the rarity of such storms (ditto for the ice storm of
1987). In fact, I believe the storm of 1969 was the first really, really bad
one since the 1888.
(Did I mention that I don't miss it?)

Not really normal back in the NE. Spoke to a friend in Central Eastern NY
State today. The snow is moister and denser than usual and much more Thunder
Snow and more episodes of sleet and freezing rain with the snow. He's been
in the area for 25+ years.
