Absolutely puking snow. Roads are completely covered. Building up that late March snowpack. This storm has been awesome. Finally kicked the doldrums of nothingness we’ve been in for months. 

Yup, with temps crashing through the day it will freeze solid. Enjoy

Looks like a SE ridge there-maybe the blocking can link up and give us warmth...LOL

Yeah, ridge is flexing

That 4 sigma 500 mb Greenland block in the forecast looks to be the strongest of the year so far. So a very active pattern will continue into early April. Spring will remain on hiatus for a while longer. 
 

Brutal…

This season has reminded me how true this is for our region. I won’t give my final season grade until 4/15 at the earliest and this storm has likely bumped it up a half letter.  
 

WWA hoisted for a couple more inches of snow with the deformation band as we fall back below freezing overnight into tomorrow morning. There will be a rock solid glacier by Wednesday, which looks downright frigid for late March. 

Looks like the rain/snow line has collapsed through the city now. What a wild event for your area…

The qpf amount is impressive for the Midwest

How the 12Z ECMWF is fully out to 240hrs on wxbell is beyond me, doesn't seem possible. 

It’s also faster in finishing now. Next winter the 12z run will be completed by 1:15pm 

@bluewave why do you think we keep getting a stronger passage in p8-1 outside DJF

I wonder why the west PAC warm pool only prohibits entry into phase 8-1 during the cold season....perhaps as the relatively cooler ambient waters begin to warm (cool in the fall) it loses (gains) pervasiveness throught the Hemisphere?

Same pattern happened last March which gave interior New England a huge event. 
 

It’s very frustrating that we can’t line a pattern up like this in DJF

Just looping the GFS...where the fook was this pattern all winter?!?!?!?!?

We couldn’t get a strong wave in p8-1 this winter. It’s finally happening along with a wave breaking-nao.

Yup, the March sun can be brutal

For the Valentines Day 2007 storm I lived in Central PA. That's exactly what it was-probably 8" of snow in 3" of sleet. 4" of snow then the sleet and 4" at the end that added up to 10-12" of absolute cement. Temps were in the teens to around 20 the whole storm. That seriously was the heaviest, densest concrete I remember falling out of the sky. It froze solid and lasted for weeks. In other parts of the state it was so disruptive that major roads/interstates shut down because it's so hard to move. I think in that storm much of this subforum had a big ice event. Much of upstate NY/NNE had 24"+ which I would've much rather experienced, but all the dense sleet made what I had probably just as disruptive. The St Patricks Day 2007 storm I was home on Long Island and remember the insane amount of sleet from that one. So that month long period I saw more sleet than any other time in my life. 

Sounds like a great experience. It would be very enjoyable to get a storm like what you experienced in middle January. The pack would be bulletproof for weeks.

Some good returns moving north might be cooling  the column enough for huge flakes

There was a period of 1-2”/hr rates before the changeover but I was asleep.

 

It’s absolutely puking snow in White Bear Lake. From downtown on north it’s all snow right now and the roads are getting covered again. Silver dollar size flakes. Home and the airport are reporting a mix.
