Burghblizz

March 2022 was a similar setup, but the front lingered longer. I got 7” or 8” out of that. Not sure what the official total was, but this was my deck:

This kind of makes me wonder what “appropriate” material for a snowboard is. My north facing Trex deck collects snow like it’s paid by the inch. My south facing concrete sidewalk - not so much. Big difference for an an event like this. Seems like NWS uses something that is pretty efficient.

This is an example of mesos doing a really nice job with this and those making forecasts just not believing it. And I get it - certainly some bust potential in mid March with warm ground. And the impact on the roads, etc might not be too much. But It really wasn’t a “surprise”. Lots of data for it, and we have done well with Anafronts before

Second glance - either it was really ripping the last hour or I was low balling. Looks more like 3.5”-4” Spotter a mile from me reported 3” at 7:30, so that tracks (again, I’m away not just too lazy to measure :-))

2” so far (eyeballing on my ring cam)

NAM had this look a couple days ago, and now has it back. Would have to thread the needle with timing. I’m on a work trip, so book it! :-)

0Z NAM with a mini-Namming, showing 6”+ with the frontal passage of the big Midwest storm Monday afternoon. As you would expect, that backed off a little this morning Will still be interesting to see if that’s just a little white rain, or if there can be a period of accumulating snow.

Very cool! What did it pick up as far as max winds?

Fitting that we had 60 MPH gusts today (although obviously a much different day overall)

Snow will count for this winter through June (if it were actually able to snow in June). It will be the best since ‘21-‘22, and possibly ‘20-‘21. Was nice to see a major storm and some long term snow pack. Better than stat padding snows. We’ve had a couple historically scarce winters this decade, but so far 3 out of the 6 will crack 45” for the season.

Agree - gimme good rates anytime any place

I’ll take the warmth since this last threat fizzled. Maybe we can pull one more decent one together. Either way, I think we will still scratch our way to 50”. Can’t complain.

GFS taken literally is worse (lighter snows), but in reality much better as far as breathing room. Considerably south.

I got over 14” dumped in my yard. Good by me all the way around. Icing on the cake would be a nice paste bomb early next week. Lead the way GFS

Happy beating climo snowfall today for those that celebrate. So while the Monday threat looks shaky at best, not a bad place be sitting. Either way - likely to add on before the end of the season.

Almost looks like more of a west/east warm push instead of N/S. If that’s the case, might have a better chance of staying on the good side.

Taken literally I get almost a foot But in reality - if GFS shows this 5 days out, that cutoff probably straddles I80. Plenty of time to get a swing the other way first.

Been in a solid area of snow the last few hours. Looks like another 2” today. (Although I lost yesterdays 2” in the meantime)

lol - my exact thought

I always have mixed feelings about 96. Solid foot for me in Oakland at the time. 18” south of the city (airport total was “light”…like 10”) Fantastic in a vacuum, but obviously way more extreme elsewhere. Dec 92 was almost an extreme miller B winner. If I recall, the bombing happened in the Carolinas, so it became more of a storm just hugging the coast. We got like 10”, but the coastal part never quite materialized here (although somerset county got 3-4’). I remember the inland low over performing and really thinking we were set.

It will be interesting to see a final plot of totals. I feel like the “floor” in most cases from Jersey north will still be pretty high

Multiple chances it appears to add on the next 7 or so days. Wouldn’t be surprised if we take a run at 50” for the season over that time.

Sometimes I’ll think the same thing as far as friends or family getting waxed or missing out - then remember they don’t care nearly as much

About 2”, with a real nice batch of big flakes flying. Definitely a wetter, March feel to it though as roads and sidewalks are generally wet.

Obviously there is a reason that product contributes to be “experimental”
