The Great White Hurricane by Meteorologist John Marshall
Back in 1888, the tri-state area was dealing with a blizzard, dubbed “The Great White Hurricane” from the March 12th-14th.
The storm had winds over hurricane force. Over 50 inches of snow fell just North East of NYC. This Blizzard dumped 21” of Snow in NYC.
One snowdrift in Gravesend, New York measured 52 feet high and it was common to find three story houses covered in snow.
The storm actually did a loop South East of Montauk Point, Long Island before heading out to sea.

Presto! Thank You John for the response/depiction, observing this position it looks like it was in the curving/looping phase of the track. The isobars are indicative of how tremendous the winds had too be, which confirms the crazy drifting. I would imagine as the low pushes westerly during the loop sequence the gradient must get worse after this juncture.
Dean, thanks for the kudos! Great to be part of the LWB team!

Got the surface map of the Blizzard of 1888. Yes, it did start as rain and was mild.
Have a good one.

John, you are a well needed contributor to the site nice to see you here. I have known you on NY Television for more than a decade at least, I have the luxury of living in both Phila/NY markets all my life, Ocean County is the split zone for the markets, and many times the Rain/Snow line. LOL
Do you have surface map depictions of this storm? I think I remember having one from a newspaper clipping which was in a story some years back..
People were walking across the east river after the storm. The weather leading up to this had mild air and rain, talk about Bombogenesis!
