Are you aware that our three rainiest Marches (all with 10 inches or more of rain) resulted in three of our hottest summers -- 2010, 1983 and 1980! We're at number 4 currently. WOW
-
it was very cold that entire week and we had a second mini snowstorm the following weekend! JFK got an inch of snow in that during the afternoon.
-
I wonder if the switch to a much warmer pattern is a precursor to a very hot summer. Are you aware that our three rainiest Marches (all with 10 inches or more of rain) resulted in three of our hottest summers -- 2010, 1983 and 1980! We're at number 4 currently.
-
and a busted forecast of 8-16 inches for us lol
-
Right, sounds like April 1997 is top end potential for us.... and we got 1-2 inches in that which is amazing for April but far short of the 8-16 inch forecasts. Do you remember those forecasts--- they were talking a full on blizzard, and it only happened in the mountains and then up at Boston, where they got 30 inches! It's absolutely amazing that Boston could get such a huge snowstorm in April!
-
this is more of the classic noreaster track while that was a coastal hugger.
-
There was snow with that storm in S NJ and it occurred 11 days after this storm is supposed to. Low pressure tracked near JFK didn't it? It was the Tax Day noreaster.
-
Thanks Roger, do you have JFK data for that date? I didn't see it in the report.
-
I really wish they made these maps more intuitive and didn't have those ads hiding the color key. One associates blue with clear skies and white with cloudy skies-- not the reverse!
-
this map is so confusing, especially with that annoying ad at the bottom that hides the color key. So white actually means clear skies? It should be the reverse-- we normally associate white with clouds! I thought Texas was in the clear and New York was mostly cloudy, but it looks like the opposite is true.
-
wow this is absolutely amazing! where do you find maps with so much detail? the media never shows a map like this. what do you think of Syracuse as a place to go to? Are those holes in the clouds up there or should we not look at such fine details this far out lol

1945 - Providence, RI, hit 90 degrees to establish a March record for the New England area. (The Weather Channel) wow how did it hit 90 degrees this early in the season in Providence and yet it's never happened in March in NYC? NYC is much further away from the ocean than Providence is, not to mention also further south!
-
Sounds like you're thinking that April 1997 is a decent analog, as opposed to any late season snowstorm that got NYC or Long Island.
-
where are they getting 4/6/82 from this? That winter was much colder than this one we just had and no amount of -NAO is going to generate the amount of cold our entire continent had that winter! Sheesh and I thought I was going out on a limb trying to see if April Fools 1997 was a proper analog for this....
-
I wonder if this can get snow down to the Poconos like April 1997 did. Obviously not much for us here at the coast, but the Poconos could get something like they did in that storm.
-
There were numerous other early April snowstorms that happened after that but this isn't any of them either. Maybe April Fools 1997 could be an analog but this isn't good enough to do what that did down here (which wasn't much.... 1-2 inches of snow, but a lot more in the mountains and in New England.)
-
Yeah this isn't even good enough to be an Aprils Fools 1997 repeat for us.
-
I'm rooting for 80s, onshore flow would suck.
-
JFK went over 1" too, the lower totals were from Manhattan on west.
-
didn't get to 10" of rainfall here, but JFK came close (9.86")-- their rainiest March on record.
-
we'll have a lot more winters like 2015-16
-
good just in time for the eclipse
-
even when we had very snowy winters, it was rare to get meaningful snow this late..... 1996, 2003 and 2018 were it. As long as we get snow in January and February it's okay, anything outside of that has become very rare.
-
omg I guess if you want to avoid the traffic and the high costs of airfare, you could always travel by Amtrak. But that has logistical issues also.
-
a south based block again?
