We had 18 inches of snow last March in NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to 3/6 (at least around here) is still pretty good, from 3/6 to about 3/21 things drop off pretty rapidly and accumulating snow becomes rare post 3/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your forecast already badly busted your obviously a weather enthusiast why not embrace some more snow. We average more snow in March than we do in December. I've seen snow accumulate during the day in April. Smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Today's Arctic Oscillation was +2.094. The AO has risen sharply in recent days. The season-to-date average is +0.022 and 56% of days have had positive values. The AO is forecast to head negative next week, but whether blocking develops soon enough to force a potential storm around the 2/24-25 timeframe farther east than shown on some of the guidance remains to be seen. Overall, NYC still appears poised to have a somewhat positive temperature anomaly for February, even if the AO-, assuming it develops, leads the remaining 3-5 days of February to wind up colder than normal.

donsutherland1 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 The last two super El Niño events featured some late-season measurable snow. April 19-20, 1983: Albany: 9.2" Bridgeport: 0.5" Danbury: 4.0" New York City: 0.8" Newark: 4.1" May 9, 1983: Albany: 0.1" March 21-22, 1998: Albany: 4.3" Bridgeport: 0.5" Danbury: 1.7" New York City: 5.5" Newark: 3.1" April 10, 1998: Danbury: 0.5" All said, it wouldn't be entirely surprising if 2016 also experiences a late-season snowfall somewhere in the NYC area and surrounding region.

bluewave Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Yes . But it`s pushed back to day 9 though ANT . A day slower than the OP Paul, do you know if WXbell is processing those maps correctly? Every snowstorm has been too far SE for us with much lower parallel snowfall totals than the OP for each snowstorm. It had about half as much snowfall for the blizzard and other storms than the Op runs did. If that is really the new model and not a wxbell processing error it will be bad news.

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 only for light or marginal events. A biggie it won't matter even on April 6th. See 4/6/82 Exactly. For anyone that remembers that storm it snowed throughout the daylight hours, and the so called sun angle had a zero effect anywhere including the roads. I had tickets for the Yankees home opener that day. The season I believe was delayed three days. I hit 12 degrees on April 7th with over a foot of fresh powder on the ground, I think the city hit 19 that morning. And it was powder, the temperature was in the low to mid 20's throughout the event.

donsutherland1 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 the ao forecast changes every day...one consistent is the nao which is forecast to stay positive for duration... The numbers have been changing lately, but there has been some consistency in its going negative toward the end of the extended range. There's a stronger correlation between snowfall in the NYC area and the AO than with the NAO. At least for the NYC area, the NAO's remaining positive (which has been a tendency in recent winters) is less of a problem. I suspect that the persistent area of cold SSTAs to the southeast of Greenland has contributed to the NAO+ tendency in recent winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to 3/6 (at least around here) is still pretty good, from 3/6 to about 3/21 things drop off pretty rapidly and accumulating snow becomes rare post 3/21 In the past 146 years there have been 65 storms of 10 inches or more in NYC, 32 of them or about half have occurred in the 30 day period from January 22nd through February 20th. It gradually lessens after that period but not by much until after the first week of March. The 30 day period from February 3rd to March 4th has 28 storms of 10 inches or more. As we get further into March it of course lessens by quite a bit each day, especially along or near the coast. I'd say for every 30-40 miles or so you travel N & W of NYC you can extend those dates out about a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
