~1.75” liquid equivalent C Park as of 1PM

~1.65” of liquid equivalent has fallen at NYC/C Park as of 11AM and it was still coming down! This storm is nearly beyond description. This is snow deserving gold medal status at NYC as it is their biggest snow in a decade. More snow has fallen there since yesterday than even some of the Olympic ski areas this entire month!

Thanks. With that, now up to ~1.65” liquid equivalent at CPark through 11AM! This is deserving gold medal status with more snow since yesterday than even some of Olympic ski areas this entire month!

1.56” of liquid equivalent (all in the form of snow except perhaps the first .01-.02”) has fallen at NYC/C Park as of 10AM and it’s still coming down very heavily! This storm is nearly beyond description. https://forecast.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KNYC.html

Thanks. Keep in mind that although it has been the coldest at Baltimore during La Niña in March, that’s only the avg as there’s lots of variation: “Breakdown of the 18 different Mar La Nina phase 7 periods: wide range but more B/MB (8) than A/MA (6) MB: 2 B: 6 N: 4 A: 3 MA: 3” Thus, whereas averages are informative, they don’t tell us how any one case will actually turn out. That’s the case for any phase. Those H5 composites are just averages. Also, phase 8 has been the 2nd coldest during Mar for La Niña averaging only 1F less cold than phase 7. Aside: current storm looks like it happened during phase 3, the coldest on avg (prior to 2026) by a wide margin of any phase at Baltimore during La Niña in Feb. @jconsor

Hey Anthony, Congrats on your blizzard! I’d love it and JB has been going cold til after Easter after a warmup Mar 5-15. But unfortunately the Euro Weeklies are overall not cold looking for most after the upcoming week. Then again, look how much colder the upcoming week will be vs what the Weeklies had just 6 days ago for 2/23-3/1: Now look at it today (similar to last few days): and week 2 (3/2-8) has cooled a good bit especially in the NE: From 6 days ago: Compare that to today: So, based on the big changes for weeks 1-2 in the East, keep hope alive!

Wow, this sort of came out of nowhere! Just 3 days ago EWs had a near climo normal mean of +20 m/s and only 2% reversing on/near March 7th: Today they have a mean of a mere +4 m/s for Mar 7th and probably ~25% reversing near then: @40/70 Benchmark

The wind here is putting on enough of a show for a wind advisory as the refreshing Canadian air continues to rush in with virtually cloudless skies. Winds have already gusted to as high as 44 mph at the airport! I’ve been needing to clear my roof of leaves/debris. Well, Mother Nature has done me a favor and already cleared a good portion of it today with the yard now a mess! It was ~64 at sunrise and it’s now 60.6. Looking forward to walking! Expecting a slow fall the rest of the afternoon as we head for low 30s by morning. Cold wx advisory is out. Tomorrow’s high is forecasted to be only in the upper 40s, which compares to yesterday’s 86. There’s a near 100% chance of a freeze tomorrow night. Expecting freeze watches soon. N FL already has them for tomorrow night. Edit: I forgot to post my rainfall from last night through just after sunrise. I got 0.65”. That added to my 0.75” of Feb 15th gives me a beneficial 1.4” for the 7 day period ending this morning.

The model consensus has been suggesting you may bottom out just above 32 but still with snow accumulating, especially on nonpaved surfaces, starting ~4-6PM.

Your 41 and rain matches the model consensus well. It shows you may not fall below 40 til midafternoon with snow starting during the evening.

They’re crazy high, but this is a crazy strong storm (sub 975 mb) with a lowest at 500 mb of sub 520 and tons of moisture. I mean this is a once in 10+ years kind of deal with crazy heavy snowfall rates that can easily accumulate well on nonpaved surfaces even with temps up to 34-35.

Are you looking at 10:1 totals or Kuchera totals? 10:1 are exaggerated where temps are marginal.

I prefer below normal temperatures pretty much on every day of the calendar! I’m consistent because heat and humidity prevail down here way more than I prefer. I’ve been known to escape to the CO Rockies during summer because of this, my favorite time to go there. That’s why I love winter so much here. It’s a very nice reprieve from the oppressive heat and humidity. It’s like a different world. Keep in mind my climo when I say I prefer BN in winter. BN means highs of mainly 50s-40s and lows of 30s-20s, something I can dress for and enjoy. Now if I were homeless, I’d obviously feel differently. Then I’d want it mild in winter and mainly BN otherwise. The only very rare exception to wanting a day BN might be if I were to go the beach, which I hardly ever do. But then again, a little BN can still be warm enough.

The spring….well, practically summer…wx the last 2 days here (85 and 86 record highs at KSAV, which both exceeded forecasts of lower 80s) is about to come to a very welcomed abrupt end. After also a possible record high minimum for today (won’t know til midnight…edit: it turned out to be record high low of 65), the high on Mon may be close to 40 colder and the low on Tue will be close to 40 colder with it flirting with the record 25! So, pseudo-summer record highs to mid-winter conditions/near record lows in the span of just 48 hours! It doesn’t get much more dramatic than this in the temperature swing dept and is the main reason winter is the most interesting season to track. Rarely a dull moment.

Speaking of spring snow, it appears you guys up there may have a chance in just over a week! Certain model runs sure have been giving y’all the spring snow tease though the ATL area, which has had mainly only a T so far in much of it, has largely been left out of these teases.

85.2 at 1:54 PM. Highest I saw yesterday 84.7.

12Z SV AI Weathernext: DC up to ~7” 10:1 from ~5” 10:1 prior 3 runs; probably ~~5” Kuchera up from ~~4” prior 3 runs

It’s 84.2 here at 1:50PM! At 1 PM, it had already hit 83, just 1F below the daily record high. There are gusty warm SW winds. Edit: 84.7 at 2:36PM!
