Monday

Keep on blockin I ain’t shovelin

Low of 34. Monday is really starting to get my attention. Going to alert some family later today after the 12z runs. Curious to see how the Mesos handle things over the next 24-36 hours.

Power went off & on 6 times here & thankfully stayed on, But now I have neighbors patio furniture in my yard. Have very tall Choke Cherry trees behind my house too, But They all stayed up

Finally a flood’s happen to me right in front if my face and my chicks can’t describe it?

Records: Highs: EWR: 79 (2007) NYC: 75 (1946) LGA: 75 (1946) JFK: 72 (2012) Lows: EWR: 17 (1993) NYC: 12 (1888) LGA: 18 (1993) JFK: 19 (1993) Historical: 1870 - The term blizzard was first applied to a storm which produced heavy snow and high winds in Minnesota and Iowa. (David Ludlum) 1933: A deadly tornado outbreak affected the Middle Tennessee region, including Nashville, on this day. The outbreak, which produced five or more tornadoes, killed 44 people and injured at least 461 others. The strongest tornado, F3, cut a path through the center of Nashville. About 1,400 homes were damaged or destroyed. Windows were blown out of the State Capitol Building. 1935: Suffocating dust storms frequently occurred in southeast Colorado between the 12th and the 25th of the month. Six people died, and many livestock starved or suffocated. Up to six feet of dust covered the ground. Schools were closed, and tenants deserted many rural homes. 1944 - A single storm brought a record 21.6 inches of snow to Salt Lake City UT. (The Weather Channel) 1960 - Northern Georgia was between snowstorms. Gainesville GA received 17 inches of snow during the month, and reported at least a trace of snow on the ground 22 days in March. Snow was on roofs in Hartwell GA from the 2nd to the 29th. (The Weather Channel) 1987 - A powerful storm in the western U.S. produced 15 inches of snow in the Lake Tahoe Basin of Nevada, and wind gusts to 50 mph at Las Vegas NV. Thunderstorms in the Sacramento Valley of California spawned a tornado which hit a turkey farm near Corning. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - Squalls in the Great Lakes Region continued to produce heavy snow in northwest Wisconsin and Upper Michigan, and produced up to 14 inches of snow in northeast Ohio. Poplar WI reported 27 inches of snow in two days. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1989 - High winds in Colorado and Wyoming gusted above 120 mph at Horsetooth Heights CO. High winds in the Central Plains sharply reduced visibilities in blowing dust as far east as Kansas City MO. Winds gusting to 72 mph at Hill City KS reduced the visibility to a city block in blowing dust. Soil erosion in northwest Kansas damaged nearly five million acres of wheat. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1990 - Fifty-three cities reported record high temperatures for the date as readings warmed into the 70s and 80s from the Gulf coast to the Great Lakes Region. Charleston WV was the hot spot in the nation with a record high of 89 degrees. It was the fourth of five consecutive days with record warm tempeatures for many cities in the eastern U.S. There were 283 daily record highs reported in the central and eastern U.S. during between the 11th and the 15th of March. (The National Weather Summary) 2007 - The temperature in Concord, NH, reaches a record high of 74 degrees less than one week after a record low temperature of 7 degrees below zero on March 8, an 81 degree temperature swing in six days. 2008: An EF2 tornado moved through downtown Atlanta, Georgia, shortly before 10 pm, damaging the Georgia Dome where the SEC men's basketball tournament was underway.

Hopefully it’s a Will Campbell block and it’s let right through.

Pretty much every bird in Dovah is active this morning. Spring is here. Overnight 1.5” of glop with melt commencing at sunrise fits the bill.

2.5”

48 / 26 clear and breezy. Main themes are strong southerly flow ahead of a strong front Monday will cause some heavy rain and potential strong storms - especially south on Monday 1 to >1.5 inches of rain possible. Beyond there chillier Tue / Wed before moderating Thu. Overall near normal to slightly below through the 23. Beyond there a bit back and forth near normal

Monday looks to be a wild day with the severe weather threat followed by crashing temperatures & then another possible chance at a trailing wave on the front that could end as a period of snow. This time maybe CTP could get the same results that areas to our south & east experienced on Thursday ? Here is the 6z GFS for Monday evening.

I'm sure I'm totally misreading this, but so often around here the gust front out ahead dampens down the severe potential. But Monday might be different? In that in a dominant shear environment -- if one is realized on Monday -- the gust front is attenuated? Or is my reasoning here too linear or just outright horribly wrong?

Hopefully a Bruce Armstrong block and not a Will Campbell

Finally. Let’s freshet.

Still a chance end of month IMO.

Not very impressive

The '91 Halloween Blizzard is my favorite storm of all-time. It is legendary in Minnesota and there is no debate about its ranking. Also of note on that list, the 1982 storms (#3 and #4) are back-to-back just like our 2010, and 5 of the top 9 storms were in the 1982-1985 period. For this upcoming storm, I'd love to be just north of Green Bay. Looks like they'll get hit with both components of the storm.

Blocked.

Been stein blocking most of winter. And when it wasn’t we got two big snow events lol.

More wind this morning…not great…

It will.

We have a slim chance to get some snow from the 20th through the 30th if the waves dont get shredded.

Gotta wonder if that enhanced area gets expanded north and east as we get closer to the event. Many times it does.
