Surely there must be an exception for 32.5° and rain.

FYI, I was emailing with David Robinson, the NJ State Climatologist about New Brunswick snowfalls and he said that the March 1888 blizzard was 36" (estimated) in NB.  Obviously data from that long ago can be a bit iffy, especially with the reported very high winds and drifting, but that's well out of range with what you have for CNJ, like the 21" vs. other much higher reports in NYC.  This is one of those storms where a 20-36" swath might be more appropriate.  

ok thanks.

Yeah i mean this whole thing was just a rough guesstimate and i used the NESIS map for data points and coop/climo data. 

I have no idea what the hell was happening back in the horse and buggy days. But ive heard a lot of the official stuff is way under reported. Kocin said its probably their biggest storm of all time and the 21" is way under done. And for sure BDR is under

temps dropping

After about 1/2-3/4" of snow and sleet. Freezing rain still falling. 31.0F

Rt. 23 is perfect. Main roads are fine. Side roads are icy to very icy in spots, even though they were salted early.

Periods of rain are likely into early tomorrow. The temperature will reach the middle and upper 40s tomorrow. Additional rain is likely on Thursday into Friday. Highs will likely reach the lower 40s on both days. 

It will turn noticeably warmer during the weekend. Long Island and coastal sections could be noticeably cooler than interior sections on a number of days on account of a chilly onshore flow.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +1.0°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.1°C for the week centered around February 25. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.62°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.28°C. Neutral ENSO conditions have now developed. Neutral ENSO conditions will continue through at least mid-spring.

The SOI was +19.34 today. 

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.253 today.

Should the AO stay positive, it will probably be a one-week or so window of opportunity. If, however, blocking develops, then the probability of a multi-week cold period would increase. Hopefully, we can get a decent storm during the window of opportunity.

Thanks Don.

Its amazing that Providence is only 6 inches away from their all time snowfall record. Pulling for them as well as NYC.

Its all in good fun. Snow maps make me happy even if they have little chance of verifying.

That would be a nice ending to this winter. But, that's WAY out in fantasy land right now.

I guess we can cancel the rest of this month since Steve says so.

I was thinking the opposite, maybe I shouldn’t put the snowblower away just yet

Snowblower put away. Snow sticks removed, wiped down and sitting next to snowblower

It's also a bad idea to say that winter is over on March 3rd.  Just sayin'.

Just want this snow to melt so I can do some shit in the yard. Still 10” of snow in the shade. Just a solid glacier that refuses to go away.

@The 4 Seasons.9" was my highest depth for yesterday and then freezing rain in top, still hovering between 32-33° now.

The loop back west just off MTP was a one of a kind track. So it allowed the deformation bands to stall in place leading to a 50”-60” jackpot across the interior. Around my area there was a 42” measurement which exceeded Nemo in 2013.

Today should be a good melt day and then by the end of the weekend we’re finally in the clear.

Pretty impressive Southeast Ridge flex next week after being on hiatus for several months.

Could use that melting now, an icy mess up here in many spots this morning, back down to 31 now.
