Yeah only a few patches here and there around my property. 75.7" of snowfall here imby. 

 

I am still in shock & aw that the last event was on the 18th of February.

No records handy, but getting shut out from this point through March is impressive.

Wife is still pissed we have snow on the ground :banned:

April snow is rare, but I suspect the season is done.

 

Nothing historical for snow this season, fondly recall the numerous busted snow forecast in our area for various reasons.

 

Cheers,

 

Matt

Guys just a gut hunch......but it is strong......we are going to get slammed .....yes.....Hudson Valley with 6-12 inches of snow Tuesday and a historic blizzard east of here. New England will be buried under feet of white. Again, nothing to back this up.....just a hunch that the storm is much closer to coast with even rain and mixing along immediate shore. Let's see if I am right.

You never know. It is a large storm that is foretasted. It will be a good one to track. Hope it works out to your hunch.

 

EXTENDED FORECAST DISCUSSION

NWS WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD

123 AM EDT SUN MAR 23 2014

VALID 12Z WED MAR 26 2014 - 12Z SUN MAR 30 2014

IN THE WAKE OF THE SUPERCYCLONE PASSING EAST OF THE ATLANTIC

BENCHMARK EARLY WEDNESDAY, THE GLOBAL NUMERICAL MODELS SHOW A

TREMENDOUS RELAXING OF THE CROSS-POLAR FLOW INTO THE UNITED

STATES. AFTER A COUPLE COLD DAYS EARLY IN THE PERIOD OVER THE

EAST, MUCH OF THE NATION SHOULD BE AWASH IN AIR OF PACIFIC ORIGIN,

WHICH WILL MEAN BOTH MILDER AND WETTER CONDITIONS. THE EXCEPTION

TO THE WETNESS SHOULD BE THE DESERT SOUTHWEST WHERE THE

SUBTROPICAL RIDGE WILL HOLD ITS GROUND. THE GREATEST PRECIPITATION

SHOULD OCCUR ALONG THE WEST COAST NORTH OF SAN FRANCISCO, AND ALSO

FROM THE GULF COAST NORTHWARD INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. USED THE

12Z/22 ECENS MEAN AS A SYNOPTIC GUIDE FOR THE FRONTS AND

PRESSURES, AND A NEAR-EVEN BLEND OF THE ECENS MEAN AND NAEFS FOR

TEMPERATURES AND POPS.

Animal is causing quite a ruckus in the 3/24 storm thread! Our threat of snow is likely gone. I'm hoping for one more use of my rink, then to stock it with fish in anticipation of the warmup the following week.

All in good fun. Figured I would stir the coals for them. Amazing what you can do with a few post.

Afternoon discussion from Mt Holly NWS . 4 inches possible NW NJ

Not sure what they are thinking, but I will ride the bus.

 

AS FAR AS THE IMPACTS WITH THIS SYSTEM...

SNOW...ALTHOUGH THE QPF AMOUNTS WILL BE HIGHEST ALONG THE SHORE,
THEY WILL PROBABLY NOT HAVE THE HIGHEST SNOW TOTALS. THATS BECAUSE
SOME OF THOSE AREAS WILL STAY NEAR OR JUST ABOVE FREEZING, LEADING
TO LOWER SNOW TO LIQUID RATIOS. OF COURSE, LOCALIZED HEAVIER BURSTS
OF SNOW COULD LEAD TO HIGHER TOTALS, BUT PINPOINTING THOSE THIS FAR
OUT IS JUST NOT POSSIBLE. IN ADDITION, MUCH OF THE PRECIPITATION IS
EXPECTED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE LOW, WHICH FOR US WOULD MEAN
DURING THE DAY TUESDAY, MEANING THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION COULD
BE RAIN OR RAIN SNOW MIX FOR MOST LOCATIONS. BOTTOM LINE...MOSTLY
LOOKING AT TOTALS UP TO FOUR INCHES, WITH THE LOWEST AMOUNTS IN
DELMARVA, AND HIGHEST TOTALS IN NW NJ

I could go for a bit o' snow, just not too much  :whistle:  and it should hold off until after about noon so I can get a good bike ride in that morning.  I dunno, not feeling it really and could do without it so if it doesn't happen I won't be too bummed.  I ended up around 75", had snowpack for two months straight and still have banks running down the shaded side of the driveway.

 

Good day all,

 

Spring is in the air. Temp 55 F. high 58F.

Snow pack is taking a beating.Still have 6-8 inches in spots.

Snow season looks to be done. Final total 72.7 inches.

Great pic, really shows what's up at the higher elevations.  Around here you need to get to about 850 feet for it to look like that.  As long as it's shaded or north (ish) facing there is still anywhere from a coating to 8" in the woods, even open fields are still fully covered if the aspect is right.  Unfortunately the crust has gone away so moving around in the forest is a chore but it looks like the next two mornings Crusty the Clown may just make a return visit for a few hours each day.  That I'll take long before more snow :hurrbear:

Article in local paper here yesterday (from NJ State Climatologist) said that Sussex County averaged 56 inches of snow this winter which ranks it at #20 since 1894-95.  The winter average for the county is 36.9 so a nice season all in all but far from the #1 mark of 98.5" in the epic Winter of 95-96.   Areas to the south and east did much better compared to their norms and overall rankings than us.

Not sure where they get their numbers, but I am just south of 74 inches for the season.

Avg snowfall 65 inches.
