I was around for the 80's (and the 90's which were mostly horrid but not as horrid as the 80's) lol. not everything needs to be memorable, but some were tossing around "78 and '15 for analogs...

Early March is fine-but once you get past 3/10 or so, daytime accums get tough unless it's really heavy or windy/cold. March 18 was awesome but had that been in Feb, we would have had twice the snow easily
with no ATL blocking, I would not say cutters are gone-even with cold highs, there's the risk a storm slips b/w highs and goes to the lakes. Agree it's a better pattern, but can't agree that it's a good or great pattern.
been hearing about a great pattern for 2 years...not much to show for it. Like Allsnow said above the chances for an 05 or 15 recovery are slim. Hopefully we can get a snowstorm or two...I'd be happy with that at this point. Anything more than that would be a huge win.
Congrats! Best day to have a kid-you get the tax credit for the whole year! LOL. Mine are 10 (twins)-goes fast, enjoy every minute despite some long days and sleepless nights
3 of the last 5 Marches have featured above normal snows here. If you go back to pre-2010, snow was scarce in March but more plentiful in December-interesting how there's certain patterns over a period of time.
it was a weird storm-gave ACY something like 15 inches but 20 miles inland was nothing. I was living outside of philly at the time and forecasts were 6-12 and we didn't see a flake. It was around 2/20/89 or something like that. Not much else other than that-it was colder though once we got to to Feb 89. Dec 88-Jan 89 were infernos with little to no snow.
Never said it would suck, but I'm starting to doubt we see anything memorable. There was no ridging 2 days ago on models now that's showing up....(and we know how that works-name a winter warmup that did not over-perform) Some cold mixed in with warmups, hopefully a snowstorm or two to salvage things. Last time NYC saw a storm of more than 4 inches? Nov 2018. Let's hope we can at least get that and hopefully more. Give me a Feb 2006 storm and I'd call it a day for sure.
