Trend the storm stronger on Saturday stronger so my flight to FL is cancelled or delay the bigger second storm just 12-18 hours so I'm home. If this happens as Euro depicts, I will completely lose it lol. Pattern looks great, and of course I'm supposed to go to Florida for a few days with family after already missing Blizzard Part 2 being up in Plymouth.  :violin:

April 2003...I think that's what you are thinking of.

Looking back at the obs, I think that was it. (Wish F6 data could easily be found for that period)

 

I remember several days of highs in the 30's with light snow and icing across the northern tier of Conn. I'm sure it was even more wintry across interior Mass.

FWIW euro ensembles pop the secondary south of LI with the larger event. That solution makes sense to me.

 

Another threat around Mar 23-25...they seem to focus it more on the 24-25th, but some hints before that too. Its cold too.

Yeah it had the St Patty's Day Nor'easter and then the Tax Day nor'easter (but that was snow to rain I think). 

 

But that was an epic pattern on the far interior.

And between those events, we had storms of 18" on April 4-5 and 11" a week later. It was Farmington's snowiest April in 120 yr records, by 12". The Patriots' Day storm was notable for bringing 5" snow and 5" rain in a single event (and dumping 4-5' on Sugarloaf.)

White Easter?

When I was more insane about snow I would have the snow tri-fecta in my mind: White Thanksgiving, White Christmas, and White Easter (from fall to spring).

When I lived in upstate NY we had this a few times.  Living here, and before in Stoughton, Ma. I would cheat on this when my parents lived in the Berkshires.  Basically, I would mix and max OTG snow at the various towns.  If I had a White Thanksgiving in Williamstown, and a White Christmas in Stoughton, and then a White Easter in Williamstown this combination would count towards the tri-fecta.

Yeah that was my senior year in high school and last year down at ALB area, and we had a legit 1/2-3/4th of an inch ice storm in April 2003.  There was a couple inches of snow and sleet, then a bunch of ZR, then some more snow/sleet, IIRC.  I know that was the ice storm we lost several trees around my parents' house.  I have some vivid memories from that one, of just a steady stream of light to moderate precipitation stretching like all the way back to Chicago moving almost due east.  Parts of the southern Adirondacks and Greens got like 12-24 inches of snow over a couple of days.  I remember driving to Killington with my dad after that one and it looked like mid-winter in April with ice on all the trees and snow on the ground.

The effects from blizzard 2 are still propagating through the entire Atlantic basin. 10 ft swells still banging the Cape, 2 foot above normal tides in the MA. 743375157.jpg

 

Possible, but it may also simply be responding -NAO blocking having counterbalancing lower pressure anomalies in the middle latitudes over the ocean, which would cause for overactive wind stressing on the sea-surface in general.

   Mar 31- Apr 1, 1997...25.4"Mar 3-4, 1960.........19.8"Apr 6-7, 1982.........13.3"Mar 19-20, 1956.......13.3"Mar 6-8, 2013.........13.1"Mar 13-14, 1993.......12.8"I might be missing one but these are the ones over a foot I believe.

The thing that particularly distinguishes 1956 is the fact that 3/17 gave a quick hitting potent snow event. Some of the modeling suggests that history may repeat itself.

Epic period 2/1 onward this winter.

That was the storm the drove the Italian freighter Etrusco ashore at Scituate Lighthouse.

Sad that the uninformed, misinformed are going to be shocked. Staying power -NAO FTW. What the hey. Couple of strong N'oreasters (pedestrian style) Followed by a biggy to close out winter in spring.

 

Tips write-up is fantastic.

 

The signal is there and we know the routine. Hopefully the people John Q Public listen to will handle the lead into this with a bit more dilegence.
