Tropopause_Fold Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Let's get that -NAO cranking into March and April. Looking forward to that nice refreshing breeze off the water with drizzle. that's april / may. march will not be like that. at least through mid to late month.

SouthCoastMA Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 that's april / may. march will not be like that. at least through mid to late month. Yeah I'm still hopeful for snow potential in March if we get an -NAO. I just hope it's not a pattern where the NAO block becomes a mainstay throughout spring.

ORH_wxman Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Certainly no guarantees, but you really can't ask for a better looking pattern to try and muster up some good March snow bombs on the ensembles through the 2nd week of March....weeklies say it goes on well past that. There are some real big guns on the analogs showing up (late Feb '69, late Feb 1960, Mar 1958, Mar 2001, Mar 2005, Mar 1996, Mar 1962)...there's a few duds in there as well as is expected since no pattern guarantees success...but you'll gladly play with these odds.

Back in August we had a chance to pick some great on mountain vacation deals for Sunday River and I gambled on March 10 - 15 so I'm feeling pretty pleased with the long range.

SouthCoastMA Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 GFS trying to dig something up day 5 or so near NC. It had something at 0z as well but it ended up well east. We'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 It had something at 0z as well but it ended up well east. We'll see In all likelyhood...probably just offshore, but wouldn't rule out a Cape scraper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I suppose this is more of a pattern thread so I'll continue by saying the GFS is continuing to signal the arctic revisting the CONUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 3/3/60. I left for school in nj with temps in the 20s. Md day heavy snow and wind with temps in the low20s. South of your location. Upper teens at my NNJ home, where 18" came down and blew around. For March snowstorms in NJ, that combo of snowfall and cold takes 1st prize, though we had +/- 24" storms in 1956 and '58, 1st with 20s, 2nd at near 32. The only March event close to 3/60 I can recall is 3/17/67, only a quick-hitting 6", but seeing +SN at 8-10F in mid-March was memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
