I'll believe it when I see it lol. Central Park usually gets lower numbers in late season events and matches the coast quite nicely. So I'd guess half and inch or less for Central Park and you have to be in the Bronx to get 1"+
-
a horseshoe cloud? I wonder where that came from? I don't remember the early season heat in 1987....did JFK also make it into the 70s Tony?
-
Yep this is very normal for us.
-
Probably yet another under 1 inch event. 0.5", which is normal for very marginal late season set ups with no cold air around. 2/28 we got close to 2" on the south shore though, this is probably more like the 2/1 event.
-
Looks like JFK 0.3" was right on target.... did LGA really only get a T?
-
My Beaufort Scale for Snowfall Coatings worked, my 0.3" estimate for JFK was right on target! LGA only got a T?
-
That really does look like it got a very close shave, a Low with a mohawk!
-
So close to the March 1992 6.2" storm. It's interesting that LGA in March 1992 actually went over 10 inches on the month because that storm was 6.7"? Don what did EWR have in those two storms in March 1992? Also do you have the totals for MPO for those two events? Thanks!
-
and inland elevated areas seeing the most snow which is quite normal for this late in the season.
-
Are those purple crocuses I see?! I love them

New York City:Mean March Snowfall: 3.5"Median March Snowfall: 2.5"Highest March Snowfall: 17.1", 1890 Don did this 17.1" storm happen when the rest of the winter had less than 10" of snow?
-
Yes I already see people criticizing the weather channel for focusing on all the rain that is going to happen in the middle of the country and not talking about the "big" snowstorm headed for the megalopolis lol. They saw the edge of the map on TWC and got angry that TWC didn't talk about the snowfall map for the east coast which is on the very edge of the map and focusing on "boring old regular rain" that's going to happen in the middle of the country.
-
I wonder how long it snowed for in that second batch? 30 minutes?
-
That may have helped it accumulate better though.
-
Yes it mixed with snow here around 1 PM and changed to all snow around 4 PM but the really heavy stuff with the high winds came in at night. I saw it was raining all the way up to Maine with 100 mph winds....what a weird storm.....I think March 1888 was like that too (and New York City had similar totals, 21 inches in both storms!)
-
Yes I remember that one well, started as rain and changed to snow halfway through the storm! Is this one supposed to do that or go the opposite way? We had over an inch of rain on the front end on the south shore and then over a foot of snow on the backend as the storm stalled out and did a loop! That night it was like blizzard conditions on a southerly wind and all the houses here had snow caked to their sides!
-
It didn't help to wake up several times. I woke up at 5 am and most of what had fallen was already gone here.
-
I missed that second one....or maybe it missed me lol. I stayed awake from 5 am to 6 am and fell asleep again after that and finally woke up for good at 8 am. Did that second one accumulate? It was a tough one to measure because what had fallen by 4:30 had already mostly melted by 5 am, even with 32 degree temps....which are air temps....the ground was warmer than that!
-
For both storms Don, or just for the first one? What do they show for the second storm?
-
Did the snow get going for you after 2 am too? It was basically a 2:20 am to 5 am storm here.
-
Yes! My favorite though was the one we had in April, 6 inches of snow! You know the one in April is going to be the last one so that makes it extra special.
-
lmao just an excuse not to stay up and go outside at 4 am. The maximum "coating" was somewhere between 3:15 am when I fell asleep when it was snowing hard, and 5 am when I woke up when it had just about ended (and half of the 3:15 am accumulation was already gone.)
-
For a storm like this, you'd have to measure it in the middle of the storm or right before it ended. So probably around 4 am.....
-
Maybe they are cautious because of what happened in March 2001 and January 2015?
-
sounds like what March 2001 turned into
