The New York Yankees have clinched
their 27th World Series, and with winter fast approaching, AccuWeather.com meteorologists took a look at the snowfall totals in New York following
the previous 26 wins.
According to AccuWeather.com Expert Senior Meteorologist Dave Dombek, the average complete snowfall total for Central Park is 22.4 inches. Of the 26
winters in question, 17 of them had below average totals.
However, two of the World Series years, 1947 and 1977, saw subsequent snowfall totals exceeding 50 inches.
The winter of 1947-48 recorded 63.2 total inches of snow in Central Park, which ranks the second-snowiest on record for the city of New York, second
only to 1995-96's 75.6 inches.
On Dec. 26, 1947, 25.8 inches fell in New York, estimating 99 million tons of snow.
However, according to AccuWeather.com's Chief Meteorologist and Expert Long Range Forecaster
Joe
Bastardi, this winter will be cold and
snowy for much of the Eastern
Seaboard, and major cities such as New York could see up to 75 percent of their total snowfall for the season in two or three big storms.
