This is what March 2001 should have been.

it looks like it gets down to the 940s, wow!

Since we are on the triple la nina train how wicked would it be if this ended up being the reincarnation of March 2001 lmao

I hope the other models show something similar, this is so far off that we can't trust any single model outcome. The models have baited us before.

What would the temps be like?

they cant even measure temperature or wind properly there

and it shouldn't. The biggest storm by far that season was the amazing December 1992 noreaster. That was the greatest storm I have seen in my entire life and had FAR more impact than any snowstorm that I've ever seen. March 1993 was 12 inches here and the last time we had double digits from a single storm in March but even had it been all snow it still would not have the enduring impact of December 1992 which changed entire coastlines forever.

I thought most of those storms were mixed events, the only all snow storm we had was actually in April. We just can't get the temps to be cold enough in March to have an HECS because of all the concrete. I doubt I'll ever see a footer in March in my lifetime-- I gave up on it years ago. We have to be happy with the 6-8 inch events. The thing is, when January and February are horrible, you know your winter is going to be bad regardless of what happens in the other months. March is for the far northern and western crew as well as for eastern Long Island which is far more rural. We need to be realistic and be happy with the 6-8 inch events, which should be considered about as big as it can get in urban areas in March. In 2018 January was awesome and March was just the topper. That April event was my favorite event after the January blizzard.

Central Park really forgot to measure that December event, it was around half an inch pretty much everywhere near the water and in the city. LGA measured it, JFK also messed it up.

1-3, 2-4, 3-6..... dont care let's go for the futility record 6-12..... 50/50 (could go either way) 12+ ...... Let's go for the first footer in March in many decades!

Here's my thinking on getting the new snowfall record....if March is only going to have a 1-3 or 2-4 annoying little storm then might as well get the new snowfall record. I'm torn about 4-8 because that would be interesting though still not big but much bigger than anything this season. But if we're going to get a foot or more of snow, then it's worth it not to get the futility record. But not for some piddly little 1-3 or 2-4 event.

We're not going by temperatures though, we're going by snowfall. If you want to include March temps then no winter tops 2011-12 which was far warmer, even than 2001-02. These kinds of winters have become more common now.

Not since the 50s.....unless you want to count 1993 which changed to rain here, although 1992-93 wasn't total crap.

we can't say "much snowier" yet, March is very much a hit or miss month here

For average temperature or snowfall amount? How close is it?

Population is already in the process of stabilizing and that is a good thing-- for environmental, health and ecological reasons. It's a good thing. Unless you plan on colonizing space, the same laws that apply to other species also apply to humanity.

Don, there's still a chance that what we've gotten is going to be it for the season. That would keep this season as #1 in futility.

Having a historically low snowfall season is still in play.

You're talking about the weekend of the 11th right?

we need 3 years of El Nino to balance it out

Do you think we'd get more of those bowling ball systems (they aren't SWFE if they go straight west to east south of us) if we had a +PNA? In March the -PNA isn't supposed to matter as much because of shorter wavelengths but this is near record levels like you said. I'm trying to remember the last time we had one, can't come up with it.

what happened to those bowling ball systems that used to go straight west to east without cutting to the northeast? We used to get a few of those every winter, they usually exited the coast around the Virginia Capes and they were dependable for 4-6 inches of snow.

I consider December 1992 to be the storm of the century, it had FAR greater impacts, the city was wrecked in the wake of that storm.

I wonder what that tastes like Probably nothing like cookies and cream though it'll probably be crunchy.

double rainbow!
