One or two more of these and we’ll spontaneously transform to a rainforest. The water table’s so high that I’m sure many basements will start flooding with any more rain much less 2-3”+.

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.

Albany lucked out with 5-6" at the end but ouch that 20 miles or so north never mixed and got 18".

@uofmiami Did you send your rain total to Upton? Most recent amount they have for Syosset is 3.7”.

3.8” for me, over 4” very close by. Syosset I think ended with 4.2” and all NYC sites over 3”. Any more of these and the island will sink under.

Larkfield Rd in Commack closed from flooding. At least this time it didn’t shut down Jericho Turnpike. Huntington Village flooded pretty good too, that’s where there were amounts over 4”. Otherwise getting pretty gusty now.

Another very stormy Nino March.

Adding up the hourly totals at JFK I got 3.12", LGA 3.44", Central Park 3.63 and EWR 2.86" (missing data?)

Looks like 3.8" will do it here. Kudos to the HRRR for nailing the heavy rain just north of the warm front and developing band with the cold front. Still have 7 days left with many/most of us over 10" now for the month.

Even better, tonight it will probably get below 30 here. Wonder how much of this will ice up. Still raining moderately. Closest gauge to here says 3.48". Seeing 4.02" in Huntington Village just north of here and some over 4" in N Nassau.

That heavy band is the front/wind shift line.

Absolutely dumping here in that band. My backyard's drowned.

Heavy rain band w/the front that was advertised on the hi-res models is getting together and coming east. Yard is a pond again and more to come. We're turning into a rainforest.

Definitely a big event for Glens Falls/Lake George area. Good for them. Downpouring here currently. I'll probably make it to 3". We'll see what happens further east where the relatively spared zone's been so far.

We’ll probably end well over 3”, outside chance at 4” in a few spots. Drenching until 4-5pm.

Usually happens with these. No mid level closed low to slow it down. Should still be some heavy rain amounts though north of the warm front where lift is strong. W Suffolk through NE NJ/Hudson Valley/S CT should get drenched in the next few hours.

March even into April is some of their prime season in NNE/Adirondacks ski country.

RGEM continues to nail MBY but some of the hi res models especially are worst over the usual suspect NJ/Hudson Valley areas. I'll be perfectly fine with getting relatively spared.

Last year or the year before GA had a very damaging freeze for the peach crop after a freeze hit right after our new normal much warmer than average “winter” started the growing season early. Maybe this will be a more frequent occurrence in this new climate normal with the growing season starting earlier and earlier but still prone to cold snaps.

The blossoms here mostly look fine even though we got down to 24 last night. Guess they can be pretty hardy.

Got down to 24 here.

HRRR is a drencher so far. 0z has 4" on the NJ shore and NYC, 3" just about everywhere else.

Everybody double check your French drains.

Models flipping wetter again at 12z. CMC has 4” for parts of LI. Quite the nice CCB that develops and nails most of us on Saturday. Too bad there’s zippo cold air until you’re well north into NY State/NNE. Could’ve been very nice if some cold air could stay around beforehand with this track/evolution.

Maybe LibertyBell can suggest a chemical we can mass release into the atmosphere/oceans to raise the freezing point of our water and make it be able to snow at 50 degrees.
