how many times have we said that this winter - how many times did it verify ? Unless it was rain........... and I know you are not talkin rain

 

Also count how many warning criteria snowstorms NYC has had after March 22 - since 1969

 

http://www.erh.noaa.gov/okx/climate/records/sixplussnow/nycsixplussnow.html

 

In the last 31 years we had just 3 storms out here of 6 inches or more in April...4/6/82 (around 10 - 12 inches)...4/10/96 (around 12 inches)...and 4/7/2003 (around 6 inches)...so it is about a 1 in 10 proposition during April.

one thing about this particular year - chances this season are much higher for a warning criteria snowfall the rest of the way through early April because of the way the pattern is set up with all the blocking and below normal temps forecasted along with an active STJ

Aren't we running a bit below average though? We should be seeing 50's, not temps typical for January.

 

Islip's normal high for yesterday was 47 F...Newark's was 50 F.

This is closer to average than being atypical. Preliminary Monthly departures as of today:

 

KNYC: +0.1

KLGA: +0.5

KJFK: +0.4

KISP: +1.0

KBDR: +2.0

KEWR: +0.5

 

I don't think this month will be very below normal, probably end up slightly below normal (0.0≥X≥-1.0) sad to say that with such amazing blocking and a mid-winter like setup.

With temps 5- 10 degrees below normal at least for the next week we should add a pretty good negative monthly departure as time goes on as monthly normals are climbing each day.

The thing is that the March's of the past have been so incredibly warm that even if we are right around normal for at least the first half of March, it feels shocking to us and many people I've spoken with. When you have a +8 or greater last March to near normal so far than that's pretty staggering. 

 

However with the departures starting today and going forward, we will most certainly get quite a bit below normal, especially as averages continue to go up. Today should've been a good negative day.

Today was 41/32 at NYC as compared to a normal of 50/32, so that's a -5F departure. Given that departure and the monthly of +0.1F, Central Park should be at -0.2F departure after today. Might slip a little colder if they clear out in the next couple of hours. 

 

The month should end at least -2F. I don't see any highs above the low 40s for the next week, at least, and normals are rising well into the 50s.

With 0.8" of snow yesterday, NWS Upton has now recorded 50.2" of snow for the 2012-13 winter season.  This marks the 7th time in the last 13 years that Upton has crashed the 50 inch barrier.  The other winters were 2000-01, 2002-03, 2003-04, 2004-05, 2009-10, and 2010-11.

to show how odd a winter this has been area wide - do you have the average seasonal snowfall for each of those reporting stations ?

This map represents the "worst case scenario", which we all hope verifies! I'd say it's 80-20 that the other map I posted is closer to the solution, but there's always a chance, and this is supported somewhat by the GGEM/RGEM/UKIE, although I even went above them, assuming a cold trend would continue. Keep in mind that this is not my official thoughts, nor what I think is the likely scenario.

EDIT: Mods, I've been 5 posted, and I'm not sure why, since I can't think of anything that I posted that violates the rules that are posted on the site, and even if I messed up the new forum warning regulations illustrated both in the crackdown notice posted here and on the rules page state that a first offense is a verbal warning, which I have never received. I'd appreciate a PM when you get a chance.

Thanks!

My preliminary thoughts, I think I might be a bit too low for the city and parts of NJ(some of my NJ c-2" is probably 1-3" and some of the 1-3" probably 2-5", I don't really know much about NJ wx so I went conservative, can always go up if needed). I think LI is going to be ugly in this, I'm treating them like NYC and added another inch, but I would be suprised if they see more than 1-3".

rather simple forecast for the area in red - basically the same result as yesterdays totals - c- 2 is being too generous for most of that area
