I think we all get a coating with this band. It’s got some dynamics. Timing is better with lower sun angle and temps are much colder -
The sleet is actually problematic for roads as it lays down a coating that snow then can stick on. This one is going to surprise allot of people. everything now coated on the uws
-
Wow, instant coating on the uws! Moderate snow/pellets mix. We are going 3”+ here
-
I like where I am for this one. Just south of the gwb a block from the Hudson. I have a feeling there is a hour or two period where it rips 1-2”/hr and that’s where we get 3”. This one is going to surprise allot people in this part of the city. March storms tend tI be very dynamic and banding more intense. At home on the island it’s a coating
-
I’m sure you realize this so I’m just saying it general, but the heaviest snow will not coincide with the strongest winds. The strong Nw winds are a drier wind and snow will be tapering off at that time
-
This is so damn spot on. I almost have nothing else to say. also factor in ground temps will be extremely warm from today. So snow will have a real hard time sticking. I think by the time the 20s hit the coast your looking at light snow. I do think everyone sees a paste of white, as it will not be melting with temps dropping snow removal and salting will be needed everywhere
-
Would love to be on the coast of Labrador for that. Hurricane force sustained winds and feet of snow. I think the precip ends just too late for the City east before the cold arrives.
-
Ok good. You can clearly see in my pic. (Not sure why they are always sideways) that there was enough to push around with the little plow. Clearly not a trace
-
Jan 96 was probably somewhere around 24”. today is a total joke….. I had between .5-1” on the uws not far from the park, with grassy surfaces completely covered and the park measure a trace!!
-
A mix of everything on the uws. About .5” on the grass. Let’s see if the park records anything 3 miles to my south east
-
Yup, that was an impressive burst. Instant coating
-
Totally weather geeking out right now. Snowing on the 22nd floor on the uws. Just rain with a couple mangled flakes on the ground. The rain show like is around 200’!
-
Elevation will be key for real accumulations. Places over 1,000’ will do well. this is the perfect setup to take observations on top of the Nordstrom tower at 1550’ there will be several inches on that roof. Meanwhile it’s changes to white rain outside the windows of some vacant billionaires apartment around 500’
-
Exactly. I could see a few inches on grass and trees which will definitely give a winter vibe. This is outside the urban heat island. I could see midtown never accumulating. There could also be some surprises if banding gets going. March storms are notorious for producing heavy precip rates
-
Last first week of April I did a Maine trip and the difference between Sunday River and sugar loaf was insane. SR was so melted out they really should have been closed. While SL still had plenty of base. A little extra latitude and elevation made the difference.
-
I don’t think many people are interested in a slushy car and grass topper. If we do manage to score some rates above 1/2 mile there could be some pavement accumulation but that’s a now cast situation
-
Look at where the low is positioned. It also stalled for days, so it was all easterly onshore flow. Similar to December 92. It’s only a matter of time before we see a similar scenario and the damage at the coast will be incredible. Ash Wednesday on the Jersey shore and Delmarva was more damaging then Sandy due to successive high tide cycles with 30 foot waves causing extreme beach erosion
-
That event has always intrigued me. It’s far and above the highest all frozen Precipitation total for NYC. While it wasn’t a record snow event, from a snow removal perspective it’s even more challenging. That would produce some truly incredible and long lasting piles.
-
Sandy has by far the highest reoccurrence rate of any of the above at 1-600 years. The others are probably closer to 1-100 years. what I would love to see is a repeat of the March 1993 event triple phaser displaced 100 miles to the east. That would be our all time snow event
-
Historically maybe, but I can guarantee the last few years that has begun to change as a function of lack of arctic sea ice. Also, for Long Island even historically. Bluewave could produce the numbers for ISP.
-
Here yeah, nothing new. We could still pull of a snow event later in March, but that has no staying power so deep winter is kicked
-
Works better in places further for the ocean. Here in the north east, with NYC really being the Dividing line March is still a cold season month. Having lived in Maryland for 4 years for college, spring really does start to our Sw a few weeks earlier. wasted cold this week, I would happily take some spring like weather over cold and dry this time of year
-
I purposely made a huge one on the uws after the last storm to see how long it will last. I’m up in Vermont currently but have to assume it’s going strong
-
You forgot about hurricane season. Looks like another clear the alphabet season. I like our odds

February 24/25 Potential Winter Storm

Do yourself a favor and cut the English Ivy at the base before it kills your trees. looks similar to what we had on the uws, maybe a little more sleet here as accumulation is greater.
