TheTrials Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 35/33 Lgt Ra/Sn.. you would have cleaned up if the precip got over you, i think it stays to your east where it will be rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snywx Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 you would have cleaned up if the precip got over you, i think it stays to your east where it will be rain. Yeah I agree..

nzucker Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Yeah I agree.. Its gonna be a non-event for most west of CT/NY border.. Meanwhile temp continues to drop.. Now 34.5* mostly rain here with a few flakes mixed in Radar doesn't really look encouraging for you, and you can see how disorganized this storm is. There's a heavy batch of precip in eastern SNE, a line of showers/flurries near you, light precip in SNJ/VA....the banding is all over the place. This isn't a consolidated precip shield that can deal heavy accumulations of snow in a marginal boundary layer situation; unless something changes, this storm is basically a non-event. You might not get past me on the season especially since the best slug of precip is headed for me. When I was driving delivery, had heavy sleet and mangled flakes when the precip picked up. You could tell that the upper levels are still plenty cold enough to produce flakes, but we need intense vertical motion to bring that cooling down to the surface. I don't like how the dewpoint has been creeping up here, even though the temperature is the lowest of the day...Now it's gone back to drizzle: -RN 36.8/35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snywx Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 And this map was done after the 12z models and taking the eastern shift into consideration..lol Where is this 3-6" coming from? 1400 EDT MARCH 31 all the Models at 12z have shifted EAST… all of them… the heavy snow threat for ne PA and south central NY state is much reduced.. The 12z THURSDAY MARCH 31 euro is also waaaaaaay East with this Low recall what I said in the INTIAL discussion The complicating factor in this upcoming event happens to be a significant piece of energy which is coming in behind the shortwave over the Southeast US. We can see this piece of energy on the models HERE. This feature is referred to in the weather business as a upstream kicker…. Because as this feature approaches rapidly from Southern Canada into the upper Midwest it ends up affecting the system over the east coast of the us by forcing it or dislodging it to the east. http://www.wxrisk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/LASTb.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-X Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 where and when did that happen? Four day storm in Feb 1920-- John said he would poke his eyes out or something if it happened again lol. We had over 5 inches of QPF! Someone find an accumulation map for that storm! Chris posted some pics and it actually looked like 2 feet of snow fell lol.

A-L-E-X Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 This site has a lot snow info: (it needs to be updated though) http://davep1nj.trip...deluxe/id3.html BLIZZARD!!! History has had many historic blizzards in the northeast with severe storms in 1778, 1811, 1857 (COLD STORMS), GREAT BLIZZARD OF 1888 (50" snow and 20 foot drifts NY), 1899 The Great Eastern Blizzard from South to North.... In the 20th Century there were Blizzards in 1905, 1910, and 1935 at NYC. In 1920 a GREAT SNOW AND SLEET STORM struck with 17" of mixed precipitation that defied removal and caused the army to tackle it with flame throwers. In March 1941 a blizzard occurred in the east on the 7th-9th period. In DECEMBER 1947 a snowstorm blitzed NYC with a crushing 26.4" snow and 32" in suburbs as the Christmas season was in progress.. In the late 50s and early 60s there were a series of Blizzards including the Pre-December Storm of 1960 which dumped 20" at Newark, Nj with 50mph gales...followed by the JFK storm in 1961 and a month later by a mega-snow... There was also a January blizzard in 1964, a widespread storm; A Blizzard in 1967 that hammered the after Ground hog day, and the Lindsday Snowstorm of 1969 that brought 15"-25" of paralysis to the big apple...it was a suprise.. In the late 70s there was a January near- blizzard in the east that also brought heavy snow unexpectedly to NYC, with 17" in places..FOLLOWED BY THE FAMOUS GREAT BLIZZARD OF 1978 in February that year...2 to 4 feet of snow! In February 1979 the President's Day Storm struck and DC to Boston had 1'-3' of snow...also a suprise of sorts.. The 1980s featured the rare April 1982 Blizzard, and the Megapolitan Storm of 83' that brought 1'-3' snow and thunder to the big cities...breaking records... The 1990s featured the MARCH 1993 Superstorm a combination of BLIZZARD and ICESTORM that dumped 12"-24" in the east...IN JANUARY 1996 a HUGE BLIZZARD DUMPED 20" on NYC and 30" on the suburbs...worst since 1947.. The Millenium Blizzard of Late December 2000 brought 12"-25" snow to NYC/NJ, and the PRESIDENT'S DAY 2003 BLIZZARD brought as much as 20" to NYC and close to 30" in Boston, the equal to 1996!! A recent December 2003 blizzard dumped 15"-20" in a two-day stretch in early December.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzucker Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Is this better than 17" of sleet? lol I would love to see an epic sleet storm; sleet is awesome when it comes down heavily, and it also adds to a snowpack's resiliency. Oh yes. I'm several hours in. Gonna have to switch to Coors or PBR so I don't kill all the good stuff. At least I don't have to put on a jacket and go freeze my ass off looking into the street lights. It's still raining there? That's a bit surprising, as we've had mixed precipitation all evening when the heavier echoes have moved through. I'd imagine you're quite a bit colder than my location. We've only recorded .2" QPF, however, quite poor considering all the excitement about this massive Nor'easter with 65mph wind gusts and heavy rain changing to snow. I'm wondering if that banding in Northern Maryland will swing through and give us our 1-3" of snow, as temperatures are dropping off. OVC (drizzle from time to time) 34.7/33 Unless the banding in MD/S NJ really intensifies, Upton is in for a bust where they had predicted significant accumulations in the northern zones. The storm is clearly way east of where it was progged, which is keeping us cold enough for snow/mix but not allowing us to get intense QPF. This is basically the 3/24 storm on repeat...all the worry was about temperatures and then we stayed cold but got just light precip for the entire event. This is really very frustrating, I want snow. Guess it's time to take the road trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I heard the same zinging. Unfortunately, nothing significant, just the result of the lifting of some residual moisture from the mid and upper level trough swinging through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 It's pouring snow here in Ramsey with temps that started at 36 and have dropped to 33 in the heavy precip.
