Rain mixed with hail. Came and went in less than 5 minutes.


.

Big Thunder and Lightning up here but not much rain to go with it. At least where I am.


.

Easily the worst commute of the winter for me. Cars off the road. The roads were not plowed at all. It was snowing HARD and the DOT was caught off guard. 2 hour delay for the kids.


.

Snowing at my house. Cars and grass covered.

Historical:

 

1848: Niagara Falls eased to a trickle during the late afternoon and then became "silent" for 30 hours. Most people noticed the silence on the morning of the 30th. This is the only time in recorded history that both Falls stopped flowing. An ice jam at the neck of Lake Erie and the Niagara River entrance between Fort Erie, Ontario Canada, and Buffalo, NY, was caused by the wind, waves, and lake currents. People even ventured into the gorge, discovering relics like weapons from War of 1812.

1886 - Atlanta, GA, was drenched with a record 7.36 inches of rain in 24 hours. (The Weather Channel)

1920 - Clear Spring, MD, received 31 inches of snow in 24 hours to establish a state record. (Sandra and TI Richard Sanders - 1987)

1921 - The temperature in Washington D.C. dropped from 82 degrees to 26 degrees thus ending an early spring. (David Ludlum)

1931: A blizzard struck western Kansas and adjoining states was called the "worst since January 1888". Twenty children, ages seven to fourteen, were stranded in a makeshift school bus for 33 hours during this blizzard. 

1935 - A severe duststorm blanketed Amarillo, TX, for 84 hours. During one six hour period the visibility was near zero. (28th-31st) (The Weather Channel)

 

1935: On this date through March 31st, a great dust storm descended on Amarillo, Texas reducing visibility to zero for a six-hour period. 

 

1942: A slow-moving low-pressure system brought 11.5 inches of snow to the nation's capital on March 29, 1942. It still stands as the highest March snowfall on record in Washington, D.C. on a single calendar day. Also, Baltimore, Maryland recorded an imposing total of 21.9 inches of snow on the same day. On the flip side, eight days later, the temperature in D.C. soared to 92 degrees on April 6, 1942, and it remains the highest temperature on record for April 6.

1945 - Providence, RI, hit 90 degrees to establish a March record for the New England area. (The Weather Channel)

 

1963: A decision was handed down in the case of Whitney Bartie vs. the United States of America. Bartie sued the U.S. Weather Bureau for negligence in failing to provide a warning about Hurricane Audrey in 1957. Bartie's wife and five children were killed after the 12-foot storm surge struck Cameron Parish, LA on the morning of June 27, 1957. It was ruled that the evidence presented did not establish negligence on the part of the Weather Bureau.

1987 - Thunderstorms spawned tornadoes in Mississippi, and produced high winds and heavy rain in Louisiana. Thunderstorm winds gusted to 92 mph at Houma LA, and caused a million dollars damage in Terrebonne Parish. Avondale LA was deluged with 4.52 inches of rain. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - Severe thunderstorms in the Lower Mississippi Valley spawned a tornado which injured two persons at Bunkie LA, and produced high winds which down a large tree onto a trailer at Bastrop LA claiming the life of one child and injuring another. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - Thunderstorms produced torrential rains in northeastern Texas and southwestern Arkansas. Longview TX reported 14.16 inches of rain. More than eleven inches of rain at Henderson TX caused a dam to give way, and people left stranded in trees had to be rescued by boat. Total damage in northeastern Texas was estimated at 10 to 16 million dollars. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1990 - Thunderstorms developing ahead of a cold front produced severe weather in southeastern Texas and southern Louisiana. Thunderstorms spawned seven tornadoes, including one which injured seven persons at Gray LA. Thunderstorms also produced golf ball size hail and wind gusts to 70 mph at Port O'Conner TX, and produced up to six inches of rain in Beauregard Parish LA. (Storm Data)

2007 - Eighteen year old Corey Williams is killed by a lightning bolt in Carbondale, IL, at the Community High School's first home track meet of the season.

2011 - A record 766 inches of snowfall at Boreal Ski Resort and nearly 59 feet at Squaw Valley in California's Sierra Nevadas are just two areas where snowfall records have been broke.

Look at all that climate change even in the 1800's!  -  I  hit the bees nest

Do we have a start time on this storm for NYC?


.

I can't deal with another wet weekend  It's really gonna suck if it's as wet as some of the models are showing. 

That’s what we call a strawman argument.

Yes, I remember. He said he wasn’t optimistic. But how many times did he hype up the upcoming pattern? Not just this year but every year. The dude is quick to criticize someone else’s forecast, or outlook. to the point of being outright rude. I think he’s a schmuck and a total you know what. I remember when I first heard about him. I thought he really knew his stuff and seemed to be accurate but boy I was mistaken. I don’t know of too many meteorologist, who have been as wrong as he has over the years. Thank God he doesn’t post on here anymore.


.

I never watched him before this year but I thought he was level headed and explained things rather well.  After hearing everyone always criticizing him I paid close attention to his comments and never found him making bold or outlandish predictions.  He had high hopes after the first week of January for the pattern change like most of us but he never pulled a JB promising cold and snow when there was no evidence for it.

Here is where all our snow is:

You're never going to call it NYC are you, even though Forky made a thread about why it should be called NYC lol.
It's just a park, it doesn't even properly represent the climate of the city.  No one should take their temperatures, wind speeds, or snowfall seriously.  None of them are ever accurate.
Honestly they should just shut the weather equipment down and use the 2 airports for obs. Since they are never going to measure snowfall properly and no one wants to properly trim the foliage why not just ignore their obs or better yet, have the location shut down for weather obs?  We have 60 years of data from the two airports-- it's plenty.
 

Been snowing crazy hard for the past hour over here. Picked up another inch easily.


.

Snowed pretty good for about 45 min here. Nice fresh coating of snow, haven’t experienced that in a few years.

I remember as a child visiting my grandparents in Saugerties in 80s and they would always have a consistent snowpack and you can see the different layers from the different storms. Miss that.


.

I watched several videos yesterday by the METS voicing there frustration on how they had no idea what to forecast regarding snowfall totals and how the models were all over the place.  

Wow I got at least double that. Went from a WSW for 13” to a WWA for 2-7” and like I said, I’m over 10 now.


.

I blocked Snowman19. Anyone see him or is he hiding in disgrace?


.

Originally forecasted for 7-13” under a winter storm warning and woke up to. WWA for 2-7” but already have 8”.


.

.

Bernie From AccuWeather voicing his frustration with this storm:

LOL - Backend Snow.


.

Schools have snow days built into their schedule.

This ticking south trend better stop. I was forecast to get 13” but that may be cut in half now and then some.


.

Heavy rain and winds pushing through here.


.

You cannot have a civil discussion with these people. Everything is emotionally driven, the world is going to end and there is no hope unless we (according to them) go back to the Stone Age and stop using oil and stop emitting Co2. The next step on the agenda is to declare war on mankind itself and start killing off people or limiting birth rates to save the planet.

I'm supposed to die with my entire generation and "climate denial" (which may be the dumbest descriptor I have ever heard.)

 

Its difficult to have a conversation with individuals who would rather fling insults than have a productive debate.  

When you resort to insults you have lost the argument. I stated my position on the previous page.
