March 9 Rain/Snow Event (Possibility of a few inches of wet snow for much of the subforum, most likely north and west of NYC)

[BxSnowWx37]

We should be getting some gd returns popping back up around here. The upper low is transferring to the coast and all the echos building to our south and west are coming this way and filling in..

[EastonSN+]

March delivers yet again!! Beat December as usual.

Just reached 1 inch (grass) in Easton CT.

20 on the year.

Looking like 7th below average snowfall season this century is unavoidable.

Streets were covered in Holbrook before melting.

Looks like a Round 2 coming, maybe some additional accumulation if it can be mod-heavy.

The upper level low is transferring to the coast,we are gonna get rocked if that band doesn't move much while it interacts with the new low off the coast.

Snow just changed to sleet here in SW Suffolk and 35°.

This storm is/was (at least for coastal locations) all according to where the better dynamics and heaviest snowfall lasted the longest. Generally like almost every storm system this season, it has moved too fast and most of the intensity has slipped eastward too quickly for coastal sections. Most of the remainder is either non-accumulating wet snow and then eventually just plain drizzle and fog. The next chance is Saturday and after than perhaps March 23rd-24th. 

WX/PT

34 degrees in Sloatsburg, half an inch on grass and car tops. Roads are all black, melting in contact. Very light snow at the moment from some moderate bursts before

There is a second round on its way.  We have flipped over to heavy snow here.

Elevation probably played a role. I’m at 200 ft while the shore definitely isn’t, and I’m further inland where it radiated better last night and we started off colder. That said it’s tapering off now and probably not much additional accumulating with the high sun angle and it being 33. 

This would be 4-6” if it was a month earlier with a few degree colder temps and better ratios. I guess it’s a decent winter sending though. 

In Long Beach it did snow for a little while but now it’s back to light rain and nothing stuck. This time of year it gets tough for the city and shore unless it’s quite cold or at night. 

wow theres a difference between Long Beach and here too as we had a powdery coating on colder surfaces....this was sort of like what we had in late November here.

lol thats only because December is no longer a winter month, but neither is March.

And here comes the heavy snow once again..these bands are really gonna whip nyc and l.i for a while. The best lift is prob right over us rn as the upper level low to our west approaches and jumps to the coast.

After a brief lull back to light to moderate snow

Moderate snow.  The roads went from just wet to very slushy and slick in the past 45 minutes.

Had a rain/sleet combo for awhile, but now it switched over to heavy wet snow with huge flakes. Starting to dust the ground a little now.

[HeadInTheClouds]

32 with moderate snow. Have almost an inch on grass and starting to stick to pavement.

Yea, snow/sleet now. Rain will be coming soon.

[Rtd208]

Rain and snow falling here.

Temp 35

[rgwp96]

1.5 , streets now covered 

[HVSnowLover]

Snowing not that hard now but sticking to pavement, suprisingly for this time of day in March. Flake size got a lot smaller and actually looks more like winter out and less like a spring storm.

It's according to the dynamics. When intensity drops off it becomes more rain/sleet than snow and vica versa..

Its not snowing that hard here at all and it's sticking, it did flip to sleet around 12 for a little while, i'm honestly surprised it's sticking as it's 33 and I'm at the border of NYC.
