I’m pretty sure we’re getting one a month now. It doesn’t even matter what time of the year it is. 

I wonder if there is a compilation somewhere on the internet of all the events with 60+ gusts in the region over the past few decades, if there is there definitely has to be an upward tick in frequency in the past 10 years

It’s not like that would be static, it’s a smoothed mean. What he’s saying is there’s potential.  We definitely shouldn’t close the shades on this winter. I’m fact I think areas NW of the city may have there best stretch of winter still to come

Of course Winter isn’t over yet. But March is the same as September. Both are transition months. In like a lion, out like a lamb ect. 
 

We will have our chances. Just think the modeling favors SNJ, E LI and New England more than it does NYC and points North and West.

without the -AO or -NAO I would agree-systems could be more progressive....

March 15 style ;) KNYC got 18.6" in Mar 15 and the two patterns share a lot of similarities

That was a seriously cold March and one of my favorites.  But I have a few issues with this.  One is that we were much colder in that winter overall and coming off a historically cold February and that pattern lingered into March.  I don't think we would get the same results this time around because this winter has not been nearly as cold.  I do think we'll have more snow but I just dont want anyone to think just because we have a similar pattern the outcome will be the same.  I think, for one, it will be milder, simply because it has never been as cold this winter as it was in 2014-15 and antecedent conditions do matter.

The EPS really goes wild with the -EPO +PNA from late February into early March.

Chris are you seriously on board with a March 2015 part 2?  I thought you'd be hesitant because this winter simply hasn't been all that cold compared to 2014-15 and March had a cold lag left over from the historically cold February?

yeah, I'm not expecting KNYC to get almost 20" of snow, but there's always an elevated risk for winter storms when the pattern is that amplified, no matter the antecedent conditions

would be different if Jan and Feb torched, but Jan was cold and Feb will probably finish a bit above normal

it's just a signal that we're probably entering into a pattern that's worked for us, historically

Thanks,

If we get a couple good overrunning events I think we can surpass 2015

also, to make sure that the March 2015 analog isn't overstated, here are NYC's Marches over 10" since 1980:

602643740_NYCmarchesover10inches.png.81e1773513a3efd135c33133a8452875.png

notice that there are some striking similarities to the pattern that we're likely entering:

ecmwf-ensemble-avg-nhemi-z500_anom_5day-6395200.thumb.png.30718cca696dd8dccec45bf975ef6465.png

the main feature in those Marches is a +PNA/-EPO with the positive anomalies centered over AK, which is what we have here. also, blocking really doesn't play much of a role in determining whether the month will be snowy or not. in fact, there's a +NAO on average

in short, we might be in for it

I agree with this, if I had to guess I would say that we get somewhere between 6" and 10" of snow in March.... would you tend to agree with that?

Oh sounds like you're more in  the 10-15 inch camp for March rather than 6-10 which is what I was guessing.

Is there anyway to see what the average temps and snowfall was for these Marches as well as for the Februaries that preceded them?

Thanks!

Thats wild. That looks way more like typical April gradient than a February one.

if it's heavy yes, but at least on the coast daytime events get harder and harder.  March 2018 had a few events here that were wasted by white rain until we got to late day

In the city where I was most of them ended up being a few slushy inches after hours of moderate snow that would be 6+ mid winter. I'm now slightly N and W but I've still learned not to get my hopes up for March storms no matter how much the weenies on here insist it will accumulate with pace...

And that has been the case all winter.

Sign me up for that over March 2018 in a second. A bunch of solidly moderate snow events that stuck around for weeks as we got pack refresher after pack refresher. Better than the white rain fest of 2018 at least in my area.
