GGEM looks like January instead of March

Watching the landscapers today is hilarious. They are trying to rake out beds that are frozen solid.

As a landscape designer I'm not even entertaining the thought of planting till the third week In April.

I would say a cold spring -3 or more departures a pretty good lock for coastal areas

12z GGEM Ensembles. Really good look.

http://weather.gc.ca/ensemble/charts_e.html?Hour=180&Day=0&RunTime=12&Type=pnm

there is like one borderline decent hint there, absolutely nothing to get excited about and being late in march next week...well this has a chance below 10% of delivering snow at the coast or near it

 

 

that implies our chances of anything significant are low

180 hours out. Enough said.

you never learn anything

Actually, you never learn anything. You're already giving up on a storm a week away? Come on dude.I know this storm might be a long shot for our area but when do we get a chance to track a big storm at the end of March that can deliver a lot of snow?

How does AccuWx still have 25" as the normal for NYC, If you use the most accurate number (the most data) it is ~ 29"....never understood why u would use an arbitrary very short term period to determine the long term average

They are using the official normals.  What's wrong with that?

I just dot understand why they make such a short period of time (last 30 years) the 'long time average'. Over time that will constantly make the long term average a moving target, when it should be nearly stationary. All that time period is picking up is a piece of a cycle. 

 

The 70-00 average was like 22"

The 90-20 average could be 32"

 

While the real answer is 29" (largest amount of data you have)

Well, for one thing, comparatively, each city has a different period of record, so if you compare one city's full period-of-record average to another, you aren't comparing apples to apples.

12z Euro comes pretty darn close to producing my big time storm for us next Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.

 

988 mb just south of Eastern Long Island at 192 hrs. 

 

Deepens it to 972 mb over Cape Cod at 198 hrs.  

 

There you go.

 

Major effects miss us just to the east, but anyway...

 

Over 1 inch qpf in most locations.

 

Major blizzard for New England, Connecticut, Eastern Long Island.

 

Deepens to 956 mb in the Gulf of Maine at 204 hrs. with wrap around all the way down to eastern Long Island.
