40/70 Benchmark Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 EC still tries to drop a few inches of snow up here later on Wed. It's a little borderline for mby, but looks alright for the higher elevations. Still looks warm for thu/Fri. All rain, here.....damn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Anything we get in the next week to 10 days will probably be almost pure luck. PNA is so negative, esp later this week...normally we could start getting away with it, but its magnitude is so strong that its still affecting the pattern quite a ways downstream in the form a huge SE ridge, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Quite a wintry day here Saturday on the Euro. Specifics are a bit useless, but 2m and 850 is fairly cold. If the column is cold enough it's borderline warning criteria after 50s/60 on Thu/Fri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 You try too hard. Over 81" this year and it's possible I'm shut out during March. Go figure. Hopefully I can get something later in the month, but climo is not so friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have adhered to that, but if I start getting cold rain after cold rain during spring, then I'm gonna get antsy....especially if folks relatively nearby are getting snow.

I actually have the spring itch more than most on here. As I get older I hate the nuisance cold more and more. I actually enjoy the late March 50s/60s with full sun. It's a nice kick in the ass to my SAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm missing the sarcasm. It's just bustin' chops somewhat. I think it would be a tease if you were to get some snow, and most of us are left with a cold rain. For such an epic 8 week period, these last two weeks have really gone down the crapper. Even Pete could only muster up a slant sticking 0.75" until today. I don't ever complain, but it's getting old.

This is what I mean, you have to carefully consider whether a pattern conducive to spring snows is worth the risk of enduring a a string of 33*, spring suiciders here on the cp.

If we have a snow less March then a cool, drizzly April/May then you'll have every right to complain. I know I'll b**ch a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If April and May are nice, then that's fine. I can deal with that. But if they turn out to be just cold and raw..that's when it gets depressing. The weather will do what it wants to do, so we just deal I guess. Hopefully we get a nice late season gift. Even a nice 3-5" paste would be welcomed...I'm not asking for a blizzard.

Yeah...it's a case of different folks; different strokes I guess. I actually prefer getting 80-100" in 2-3 months versus 4 months since it leads to epic snow depths. There's still a lot of snow here, but it's an icy, crusty mess and we're about 1.5ft down from our max depth. So essentially I'm ready for heavy, heavy UV. I suppose I wouldn't make a very good CoT member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I just view March as a nice ending to a great winter..and takes the sting off any crappy upcoming weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Off and on flurries today with occasional -sn This is like the 4th or 5th day of flurries this month but still no total for March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wx4cast Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Then there was a heat wave around the 22nd of that month... That was a fascinating event. The NAO was east based but popped west, and thus forced a closed SPV to form over James Bay. This sent a moderately intense cfropa off the Eastern Seaboard. But then the NAO continued to retrograde and the JB vortex then was pushed SE through Ontario... It sagged down over New England and intensified some, because of feed-back from cyclogenesis... Which actually was fairly impressive at 990mb as it pass between CC and the BM. The storm was a slow mover... Anyway, this vortex was very cold aloft - kind of obscene for that time of year actually. It didn't take much fall rates to punch wicked chill right down to sea level. I think 850 temps once the ULL got directly overhead were down to about -8C. Pretty ridiculous for May. The interesting part about that storm was that further north away from the good dynamics and cold pool aloft, it rained. You had the coastal plain of MA getting crushed under 8-10" of cement while Concord, NH got 1.3" of rain with only a trace of snow reported. I was living in NYC (Da' Bronx) for that event going to college (CCNY) and we had thunder sleet/snow during it with actually a coating on the sidewalks from that storm. IIRC it was a Sunday/Monday event. I remember a real cold rain on that Sunday night walking home across Mosholu Parkway from my fiance's house.
