Newark is on track for its earliest last measurable snowfall following a 45”+ season. So you can see how extreme that AO reversal was back in mid-February. With the exception of 14-15, our snowfall has been very AO dependent.

March has had an inverse relationship to February snowfall since the snowier era began in 2003.  All the 20”+ Februaries had under 4” during March in NYC. The under 5" Februaries generally had a nice rebound in March like in 2018.

This! March is one of the worst months of the year. I’m glad we didn’t get snow this month and we used it all in February 

Our snowiest Februaries can eclipse 30 inches.....a snowy March around here is like 10 inches lol.  Take the snowy February and run with it.

The next 8 days are averaging 54degs.(45/63), or +10.0.

Month to date is 40.6[-0.1].        Should be 44.4[+2.8] by the 29th.

The GFS has 14" OF SNOW ON THE 29TH.!!    If this is the new GFS, it is going to have a short  life span.     Lobotomy is indicated.       The 06Z has no snow and little rain.   2.2" is now less than 1.0".    Mystery solved.      

Yesterday 59* in the City but just 50* here briefly.       Same today I think, 61*/50*.

44*(50%RH) here at 6am.  (was 43* at 1am.)      48* by 9am.       51* at 10am.     been 52* since 10:30am.,  now still at Noon.    {  City  is 59*,  LGA  just 53*.   }   Still stuck at 52* by 2pm.        53* at 3pm.    54* at 4pm.       56* at 5pm.       50* by 8pm.       48*  by 9pm.

This was the source for the snow.      Looks more like a needle mishap or the initial P-Wave of a major earthquake:

44*(50%RH) here at 6am.

It’s the Classic GFS that has it. V16 has nothing. 
 

Wondering why the implementation still hasn’t happened yet unless I’m blind.

It’s the outgoing GFS leaving one last memory of its cold and excessive snowfall biases.

Morning thoughts...

Under bright sunshine, today will feature springlike warmth. High temperatures will reach the lower 60s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include:

New York City (Central Park): 63°

Newark: 64°

Philadelphia: 64°

Tomorrow will be continued fair and a little cooler. Late in the week, there could be some showers and thundershowers, along with unseasonably warm readings.

The latest Euro is warm and dry. Has more wind than rain with the cutter later in the week. So that could be our next chance of 70s. Only has a brief cool down near the end of the month.

Looks very similar to the hot NE anomalies we have been seeing in recent warm seasons

I am not sure I buy things being that dry late week even though the GFS is currently showing the same. We'll see.

Something tells me that 3/29 - 4/4 is probably much wetter and it wouldn't surprise me the prior period trends a bit wetter too once past Tuesday.. Beyond there some stronger ridging into the east towards 4/4 or 5th.

I agree although I am not buying the snowfall accumulations the GFS is spitting out. While certainly not impossible it is highly unlikely IMO.

We will probably have to wait until within about 3 days for exact amounts. But our rainfall has been underperforming so far this month with the very low dewpoints. So I think we are on track for one of the driest Marches since 2010. The NYC average for March is 4.36”.

How on Earth did we ever get over 10 inches of rain in March 2010?  Outside of the midmonth noreaster I remember nothing else that was of note that month.  Maybe that's some sort of site error?

Historic rainfall and flooding in March 2010. While our area had around 10”, SNE was 10-20”.
