March 2026

At least as the GFS backed down somewhat, the CMC jumped aboard. Hopefully the EURO will show something nice shortly, but with this setup it will take quite awhile for the models figure out what's going to happen.

An S19 thread?  March is gonna be 70° every day, we can put the shovels and scrapers away and we can start riding our bikes soon! How'd I do? 

Yeh how about that music group snowman19 and the RGEM’s?

GEFS still a SECS for the metro

can winter be over now? kinda really sick of not feeling the sun on my skin and spending more time than not inside

Nah, this one has strong potential to be top 10 all time.  Keep it going.

NYC need about 11” more to make top 10.  17” to make top 5.

The euro has that 1040 high pretty far south and then it retreats so we're able to get some snow in here. I guess that will need to be monitored to determine if this mostly stays south or not

The Euro and AI both came north for late tomorrow, still more or less total misses but would be funny if GFS nailed another one

Looks like snowiest all time was 1895-96 at 30.5”.

Snowiest recent was 14-15 at 18.6”

 

Despite what people say 13/30 winters in 1990-2020 had over 5” with many more in the 3-5 range.  Only around 1/3rd were less than 3”.

North of the city I would rate March 2017 as a top 3 lifetime storm.  Heavy winds and 20” of snow/sleet mix on 2.4” qpf with temps in the teens entire time.

AI still has a long way to go. Hopefully, it will do far better in two years.

We almost did it in 2010-11, but that winter fell apart.

An amazing 5 week blitz and nothing on either side.

We had 60 inches by February 1. The La Nina strengthen and that was it.

I thought we were going to do it in 2013/2014. I was at 58 inches and I needed to eclipse 92 HOWEVER the models were showing an early March 16 inch event followed by 2 smaller events.

They all were suppressed south to the MA and we were shut out.

Was crazy that we got nothing that March, month was like 6 degrees below average.

After the threats this weekend and early next week, things really warm up. Both the GFS and Euro really pump up the Bermuda ridge. We could be looking at lower 70's outside of Long Island for an extended stretch beginning the end of next week.

This year it's over. I'm not saying that it won't cool down after the incoming torch but there won't be anymore snow after next week, especially near the coast.
