Actually both Stamford and Lake Placid do very well on this run. SLK in particular looks to see a nice long duration moderate event, should be nice for spring skiing. 850s for NYC don't go above 0  between hours 24 and 192(except 96 and 102), they probably go up after 192 though, although isn't round 3 a nonevent compared to round 2 on this run? Haven't looked at text for SLK yet, but KNYC is 1.2 at the surface for the overrunning event, which is probably below 32 here(we run around 3-4 degrees cooler than NYC on average.) We also get close to 1" QPF, with .52 in 6 hours.

 

But, the last part of your post is the most important, since we all know this is going to change 5 more times before we get a solution. I'm highly confident on an accumulating snow for Lake Placid, and moderatley confident that 40.0" will not be my seasonal total here, but too early to know what it will be.

What do you trust for D6-10? Goofus? DGEX? NOGAPS?

Well you know the answer to that, and post was more speaking to D10-D14 or at least 8-10.  It'll get cold, there will be snow chances, but we're already wasting a few opportunities through middle next week.

Still, didn't understand why you said the EURO looked "terrible" when it looks completely the opposite, irregardless of whether you trust it or not. Not that it matters though.

The rain actually changed over to freezing rain for a while before turning to snow. The temperature in

NYC's Central Park on the 13th held at 6F from 2am - 9am, and did not reach 10F until 1pm, incredible for mid-March.

 

In SNE New Haven turned to snow at 2:30am, on monday, March 12th,1888.

That's right - I skipped the ZR in haste.  Then the snow stuck and froze to the wet wires (some old pics show NYC phone wires looking about 2" thick), greatly adding to the system damage in the city, and playing a large part in their deciding to put the lines underground.

For Ginx and others interested in Sandy cleanup in Westerly... it's unbelievable the amount of damage done in South County.

It's hard to believe that Sandy managed to be worse than a near-direct hit from Bob. 

 

Yeah, that tickle east to spare South County a longer duration of onshore flow in Bob really prevented something similar from happening.

Throw in long period swells, near-record heights, and 2 high tide cycles... barrier beaches were toast once those dunes were breached in Sandy. There are just miles now with no dunes or totally recreated dunes. 

 

And yeah for a place like Westerly that tickle brought them the eyewall but mainly offshore winds in Bob.

Bob was so quick moving too, Would have been bad but just like the Cape and Newport more of a surge than destructive waves for hours on end. The strength of the tides during Sandy were timed perfectly for max damage. I still believe that there was a rogue wave element that added to the destruction. I witnessed those first hand in Westerly in the perfect storm. The combination of such incredibly strong waves and surge moved rocks that have not moved since they were put in place in the 40's. To me the barrier beach damage was what I expected would happen some day but the tons of huge rocks moved in Weekapaug and Watch Hill was surreal, never expected to see that.

We agree, there should be more snow chances, but none within any time range of looking at seriously.  The 12z Euro basically had little to  none.

 

 "Irregardless"  :whistle:

birving, did the euro have decent snow for New Boston on the front end there?

verbatim?  not sure but it looked like at least some of the qpf would fall as snow or mix.  I rarely speak for this area since it's not very interesting or populated w/ people on here.
