nzucker Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'd say we have about a half inch now on the Upper West Side (on cartops etc--a coating on sidewalks now, streets still just wet). Light snow at the moment. This storm does not want to quit here...back edge approaching but another nice band has popped up over Westchester. I have to go to bed but here are my final obs: -SN 29.2/28 2" new tonight, 2.5" storm total 69.5" this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Energy Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I drove home from work at around 915 pm. It was the first time i EVER drove in thundersnow! Amazing! 1/8 mile VIS and it covered the roads in minutes. Epic! Was heavy wet snow that stuck to my car in the parking lot before I left and it just plastered the roads ( including the highly traveled I78). Then as I got closer to my condo, it was a mix of Snow and PL (heavy PL actually). Quite a great drive on my way home. Thank goodness for great tires on my new dodge charger. I never drove in that kind of snow. I've seen TSSN while inside my condo, but never drove in it. Quite a site. This was all along I78 in hunterdon county, NJ. Good stuff. It looks to have wind down here tnt tho. Not much more than 2-4 inches, but a great storm overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwx21 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 yep how bout that to fresh snowfalls in two nights. But he said I need a colder 850 to get snow at the end of march. Tri stat met says the euro model was rain for the coast. Of course colder 850s would have helped us out a lot more. You do realize that a good portion of this event ended up being sleet/rain, don't you? We had rain/sleet for a lot of the day and evening here. A lot of accumulation was lost due to the temps, and the fact that the precip wasn't heavy enough without a bombing coastal low. Yeah, I ended up with a little more than I expected here. I got 1.5 early in the morning, and another half inch tonight. My call for NYC ended up being pretty good with a dusting to an inch. No one is perfect and my call certainly wasn't, but whose was with this event? A lot of people were too high ... I saw some 3 to 5 calls for NYC. These March storms are so tough to predict. My call was better than some other people, so it's pretty odd that you're calling me out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pamela Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Moderate snow, freshening northeast wind in Port Jeff. What is the rule for measuring snow on the grass, i.e....how much are you supposed to subtract off the top since it is a grass measurement...(I don't recall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-X Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Still snowing nicely here-- we've now exceeded last night's 1".... 1.5" so far tonight. Down to 31 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jconsor Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Not sure, but try to measure on another surface like a deck or table. Moderate snow, freshening northeast wind in Port Jeff.

jconsor Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 This is likely to be the biggest snowfall in the last week of Mar (Mar 25-31) since Mar 29, 1974 for parts of Queens and Nassau. Of course, given recent climo for the end of March, that's not saying much Mar 28-29, 1984 also had a general 2-3" across NYC and western LI. It was a huge nor'easter that was mostly rain, but it was cold enough to snow for a few periods in the storm. Still snowing nicely here-- we've now exceeded last night's 1".... 1.5" so far tonight.

The back end was racing eastward and then it came to a halt right over NYC and Long Island! It's still snowing pretty hard here, while the radar is clear about 25 miles west of here.

simpsonsbuff Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'd say about 1.5-2 inches on the colder surfaces... That is for this evening. Some snow fell Tuesday night, but not much. Trees look quite good here in the NW Bronx. Of course, it will all be gone soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
