very consistent on the euro ai

So this is saying ASOS recorded 0.58" precip, and the observer - at the same location as the ASOS, or not - recorded 35.5" new (and a depth of 21). I'm assuming all NWS major climate-site observers capture SWE - why not use that? How effective is ASOS at capturing preicp totals from snow? Like what were the 35.5" obs SWE??

Quick burst of snow and blowing snow moved through late in the evening, depositing a quick 0.6" both here and DTW. Season to date 39.8" my backyard, 38.8" DTW.

It seemed that way to me too. And I don't even pay close attention. Seems like during several of our synoptic snowfalls here Chicago backed in with LES.

NWS responded as follows: “The 0.15" was an automated measurement determined to be erroneous, likely from snowmelt getting into the gauge. A trace of snow was reported by our Park observers after 1 pm, and the storm total for the event is 19.7.”

The Northeast has been in a multi year snow drought. They've not had 3+ feet in consecutive years. Plus, even if they get a noreaster next year, one with those amounts (even though confined to the immediate coast) seem unlikely.

This is likely our last shot at a snowstorm this winter. We flip warm afterwards and chances of a storm post mid March are very slim. Legit arctic air with the early March system if it works out btw.

Almost looks like more of a west/east warm push instead of N/S. If that’s the case, might have a better chance of staying on the good side.

Ensembles should be semi alright

AI GFS would certainly be something if it verified.

Cmc came further north. AI gfs also.

Cmc and ukie are both south for Monday

I meant this Thurs/Fri. Next week is wide open.

To be fair its trended south

Just saw that myself. This just feels like a slop storm for us.

Too bad cant lock in GFS right now for this storm.

55 to -58 would be something to behold. Who could pull off something like that? International Falls?

Ok so I keep hearing an airplane overhead but check Flightradar24 and there is nothing there. Thought was hearing things but Mr. J hears it as well.

Gone? double headed dildo woah

I was just looking up some data on late season events and I found this one that I don't believe i've heard talked about here. Obviously it's an anomaly and i'm not using it to prove any points here, but nevertheless, who would have thought you could have piled 21" of snow in Harrisburg, only a few days away from May. The April 27-28, 1928, blizzard was a record-shattering late-season storm that dumped up to 21 inches of snow on Harrisburg, PA, and over 35 inches in surrounding mountainous regions. It paralyzed central Pennsylvania, closing businesses, causing widespread power outages, and breaking trees due to the weight of the snow on foliage. Key Facts About the 1928 Event: Impact on Harrisburg: The city was "buried" under a 21-inch snowfall, described by The Patriot as one of the worst storms in history, bringing life to a complete standstill. Regional Impact: The storm hit the Mid-Atlantic and Appalachian regions, with Pennsylvania being hardest hit, though mountainous West Virginia saw up to 40 inches. Transportation Chaos: The storm stalled travel, including stranding the "Red Arrow" train for three days near Paoli, PA, with passengers forced to burn seat cushions for heat. Meteorological Significance: The storm was a "bomb cyclone" (rapidly dropping pressure) that hit in late April, making it one of the most devastating, late-season, and rare snow events of the 20th century
