One of these years there are going to be quite a few MLB games postponed in March because of cold and frozen precip - Mets open at home  March 26 ??? Ridiculous IMO..

Euro misses us just to the south with a light snow on Monday, but then gives us a few inches Tuesday before changing over to a mix and rain. Hopefully GFS is correct with the big snowstorm idea for Monday, but obviously a long way to go before the models figure out what's gonna happen. I do think it's likely we'll see at least some snow early next week. Hopefully we'll break our March snow drought. I'd like to see one more snowstorm, but I am looking forward to some much warmer temps as we head into mid March. 

I believe in the GFS! Let's see it lead the way once again.

Two wintry baseball memories:

- The Yankees April 7th 1982 opening day plus three more games postponed due to the April blizzard

- 1996 home opener on April 9, 1996 played in flurries with Santa in attendance

Somehow they still managed to finish by the the few days in October.  Researching a bit it looks like the players bargained for additional days off in-season.  That plus the lack of planned double headers means the season has to start sooner now I suppose.

1996 was when most of LI got 5-10 inches of snow.  I think it never really accumulated west of there.  Mets opener in 2013 or 2014 ISP had 5 inches of snow that morning, not sure it ever snowed by the stadium

I always thought that storm happened on the night of the 10th, separate from flurries event at the Stadium on the 9th.

Whatever the date, you're right that that storm increased drastically from west to east, and not sure if that got the city much.  4" by me but I think 10-12" out by Smithtown/Kings Park.  @NorthShoreWx can answer this one for sure.

Edit:  I think you're right about it occurring on the 9th into the 10th.

Easier to shovel than the last storm

wet snow high sun angle not as cold but when i went out this morning  in 26 degrees snow trails were icy had to be careful not to slip and the street corners were either mushy or huge poodles of yuk to step into..

bernie was so bad with the blizzard he embarrassed himself more then he usually does..

So true, I watched his videos and it was so bad that he was pissed at people for calling him out as if they were wrong and he was the poor, little victim.  He was so bad!

I’ve said it many times here he’s a horrible meteorologist. He seems to live and die by the euro

Next weeks threat is pretty thread the needle.  Really need to eject the shortwave at the right time, otherwise you'll get suppression or a track too far north.

Gefd is really impressive with a cold high.
