That was a Miller A with much colder temps.Thunder and lightening and temps fell to 19 next morning

 

It was actually more a Miller B, it was not a classic one either.  The setup was very close to 2/8/13.  NYC almost nearly missed another big snow just a few days after.  I think the system tracked a bit too far offshore.

Last year we had 6 inches Colts Neck , It fell during the  DAY  the roads were all snow covered .

 

 

KNYC splits 3/20/15

Splits on EURO hi res 37/31

 

Here is a recap of the storm from last year . 

As of 8 AM, the coastal low pressure which developed offshore last night continues to slowly deepen with a minimum pressure near 1004 hPa. The low is located well southeast of Cape Cod and will continue to deepen over the next day as it tracks towards Nova Scotia. Following yesterday afternoon’s update, snow intensified on the back end of the system with widespread moderate to heavy snow for most places, but generally tapered off by 8-10 PM with scattered freezing drizzle and snow showers persisting east of NYC overnight. A separate vorticity maximum approaching from the Great Lakes is beginning to interact with this system offshore, which will eventually initiate rapid deepening of the low pressure offshore, although the redeveloped precipitation shield is more robust than modeled, with widespread light to moderate snow persisting over Long Island and Connecticut. This snow will generally taper off towards 11 AM to 12 PM, although may not accumulate to much as temperatures continue to rise and snowfall rates may not be intense enough to offset the melting rate. Based on preliminary storm reports, snow totals so far are within the 2 to 4 inch range over southeast NY, eastern CT and interior CT, which is near to slightly below the forecast amounts; snow totals were higher than forecast over central NJ into Long Island and coastal Fairfield county, where snow accumulations were generally in the 4.5 to 7 inch range. Totals were near the forecast amounts over northern NJ and NYC, with 3 to 5 inches.

 

Look familiar

That was a really nice storm. Hopefully, the 0z guidance will hold or even improve.

That it was Don. Started out as a rain snow mix, and then transferred to all snow. It took awhile to accumulate on the grassy and colder surfaces, but it did. 3.9 inches total. Fell during the daylight hours. First day of Spring.

Don , 

 

My point is the guidance last year was honing in on .75 , which is what we are seeing tonight .

 

The 850s last year 36 hours out were progged at -2 .

The 850s with this one are forecast  to be between - 3 to - 7 

 

The BL 36 hours out last year the BL was forecast to get to 32 / 31 . under those rates it got to 29 , we are in the same spot here .

Close to 5 fell at KNYC where .6 was forecast and 6 to 7 fell where .8 was forecast in CNJ/LI .

 

The difference here is this will fall at night , last year was during the day . 

 

So I expect if .75 does actually happen ( that`s the key here ) then 5 to 7 would fall and stick .

It certainly bears watching and the comparison is a very good one. I'm looking forward to the 0z runs.
