All Activity

This was 0 when I woke up. Radar showed a bit move through around 8:30 this morning. There was a specklung of ice on the windshield this morning. But it was mist at best overnight.

This needs work, but I gave it a half-hearted try: Simulated Radar Loop: March 11–14, 1888 March 11 (Evening): A low-pressure system moves up the Atlantic coast, initially appearing as a broad area of light-to-moderate rain across the Mid-Atlantic. March 12 (Midnight): As the storm reaches the New Jersey coast, it undergoes explosive cyclogenesis. On radar, you would see a sharp "rain-to-snow" line as cold Canadian air rushes in, turning precipitation into heavy, blinding snow over NYC. March 12 (Midday): The storm's "eye" or center (reaching a peak intensity of 978 hPa) sits just offshore. A massive, stationary band of intense snowfall (reflectivity values of 40+ dBZ) stalls over New York and western New England. March 13: Instead of moving out to sea, the cyclone loops counterclockwise near the southern New England coast. On a loop, the heavy snow bands would appear to rotate and pinwheel over the same regions for over 24 hours, dumping up to 22 inches in NYC and nearly 60 inches in parts of New Jersey and upstate New York. March 14: The system finally weakens and drifts east into the Atlantic, with the simulated radar showing the heavy bands breaking into scattered snow showers.

if we have an east based super nino heading into fall...then yea best to just assume the winter is going to be a dead ratter. I know you were joking but some do just automatically assume Nino=Snow. Which is funny because I remember after we had 3 dead ratter nino's in a row, 1992, 1995, and 1998, the prevailing thought before 2003 was Nino=warm snowless winter lol. Then we had a run of extremely snowy nino's and it flipped the other way. The truth is somewhere in between and that it depends on the details.

you would need heavy rates in march especially mid day to cause road issues with temps 30-32

This weather sucks. Hope this isn’t gonna be one of those years where it takes until May to get 3 days in a row of nice weather.

29.4/12 with BKN cirrus now Nice day Snow at night Nice day is how you draw it up

I see the freezing line held longer than expected even here in the city last night, lol

GFS and GGEM not too aggressive with the BDCF late this week. NAM does look aggressive, but at the end of range obviously.

classic spring swing here

We snow. 24.8

Let’s give this last opportunity a go! I don’t have any chips left though. Anyone got some I can borrow? Will trade you for beers.

Mix of sleet/snow, currently 32F.

I would think that a radar simulation would be possible interpolating known data points from reporting stations as well as surface maps.

It’s not as big of an issue along the shore, I agree with you speaking of your location specifically

They have cancelled after school activities here, which makes more sense... no need to make most of that up... things can be rescheduled. But it won't be a big deal for most.

To be fair this came in way colder than advertised yesterday by local mets, everyone had to adjust last minute

Moderate snow, solid growth

Open a new March thread and make it happen!

Light sleet 35/27. We've a light coating of new sleet / snow. The driveway is crunchy underfoot, but not slippery.

what's even stranger is who is advising them to close or dismiss? Was happy our super went with a regular day here-they usually don't do that and jump on board with all the other ones making the wrong decision....

Can't believe that the ground is still that cold, despite some of the recent days that were very warm. There are spots on some untreated roads that are iced over. And there are some schools that canceled classes for the day. My lane is solid ice. And temp is still at 32 @11:04am.

Honestly don’t understand how CT does that shit. Any salt on the roads during March daytime is totally fine with this setup. Good God.

LOL

I saw that, never heard of it before, glad we homeschool and don't have to worry about those things anymore....kids were doing their school during the raging blizzard last week, lol
