We deserve a nice, warm, early Spring after the brutal Winter we have just endured. Yes, it snowed a lot, which was fun at times. There were also periods of brutal, bone chilling cold and dry weather and more ridiculously windy days than I can count.

This winter as a whole was not as windy as last winter. Much colder yes, but definitely not as windy given by the much lower number of wind holds on ski lifts throughout the season. And last springs winds... Well that was awful. But deserving a nice, warm spring and actually getting one is completely different. Springs by nature lately kind of just suck here. Windy, mist, miserable clouds for weeks on end teetering between 33 and 55. Then like heaven's gate opening we switch into summer mode. I'll actually met a guy on the gondola at Belleayre this season living my dream. Skiing all winter here and then heads to Phoenix or Florida depending on the year for 5 weeks at the end of March (to avoid the season I just described).

Where are you reading that?

Just read from another more skilled weather buff that winter and tracking storms will basically be over by next weekend, after whatever shows up next week.

Moving should likely be in your future plans as you live in the wrong part of the country to want warm winters.

Not a difficult prediction to make given the long range maps right now. Plus each week from his period he's making the prediction, March 7 and beyond, we just move into a more difficult period to get a decent snow. Especially for places from New York City on south.

There's been a projected warm-up for the northeast several times this winter, but a prolonged one never really happened. Eventually, it will.

Yeah, just makes sense.  I mean, hell, it's March. Even if you get a storm that goes, there just isn't prolonged cold like there can be in January/ February.  

Just look at this last storm, I got 2 feet and within 2 days we'll be up near 50 degrees.  Gigantic chunks of ice and snow were just flying off my roof!

No real wild predictions here. If you want snow in NYC in March, you are looking at the first three weeks. Week 1 looks cold and snowy. Week 2 looks a bit AN. Once you get to week 3 and 4 the clock runs out on the game.

 

Then of course there is the freak April storm… and this seems like the type of year where something like that could happen

My gut tells me a cold shot on Monday, but no snow. If there is a precip event, it will be Tuesday night into Wednesday, and will be primarily rain. After that will be a huge warm up.

[MJO812]

I still think Sunday wave ruins the Mondays storm. Better runs had that wave non existent.  That wave drags the trough further south for monday.

yes i agree with this as it stands right now, the weak wave sunday brings the jet stream way south and doesn't develop the following wave but cmc got it done somehow

CMC did go south compared to the 12z run though. It keeps the significant snow down in southern Jersey and brushes us with 1 to 2 inches up here. Still a long way to go with this one though. We have a shot. At least we know it will be plenty cold for accumulating snow Monday, but hopefully it won't get pushed too far south.

0z AI north for next week 

18z vs 0z

Eps is nice

A reminder that nothing we say impacts the weather, but I would always take a cool to cold March. The rest of the year is almost uncomfortably warm for me anyway and everyone will get their warm temperatures regardless. 

It’s funny, I would never go to Florida on climate grounds alone. Much too hot and humid for me. I derive very little enjoyment from summers here, my body just doesn’t tolerate heat well and I don’t like hiking in the bright sun. Nothing beats cold weather outdoors time for me, Nov through March is usually when my wife and I do the most outdoors stuff though my wife enjoys warm weather more than I do  

Again, I’m a very atypical person and I admit that. I’m one of those that would live and work in Antarctica had I the opportunity. We also do a lot of cold weather travel and are extremely well prepared for it, having the right gear for the cold makes a tremendous difference in comfort. But regardless I’m just very attuned to cold weather and it makes me feel alive in ways the heat makes me want to stay inside. 

At some point if we don’t outright move we’re going to try and get a place in the NNE mountains to escape in the summers at least, then visit in winter. One day.

Now the models are suddenly trying to turn Sunday into an “event”. Very light….1-2, 1-3 mainly N and W of the city. I’ve never seen the models flip flop and suddenly change and in some cases flat out bust horribly in the short term as much as they have been this winter in all my years of being a weather hobbyist

[North and West]

Not scientific, but this feels like one of those years we get an April snowstorm.
Who is starting the April thread?

I was saying that to my dad just the other day. I’m going off of nothing other than experience. It has *that* feel.

Models are cooking us in March. 70s widespread

I think the models are having trouble right now trying to determine exactly how far south the cold air will settle and stall  - this will determine the boundary zone where the LP will move west to east

its never as warm as they predict; though 1998 was ridiculously warm, and windy...it will be less than ideal; mud season begins in days....
