SR Airglow Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Storm total dusting of accumulation, but probably would have been 2" or so if it was January. We got moderate to heavy for a time, but, just as it started to stick, the intensity would drop, and it would all melt. Still a great afternoon, nice to go out for a walk and be in the snow. Now, onto monday night... Don, great pictures! -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowshack Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Only a light trace on the pine trees out here, looks like the more intense precip stayed west. But compared to last year, Ill take it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, it's only an appetizer for Monday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isotherm Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Funny how as soon as I posted that pic snow intensity picked up again. This is really turning out to be a good/very good winter for Monmouth. They had 1.1" back home, so my backyard total is now up to 34.7" on the season. With this historic blocking regime evolving, the pattern we've got in place is mid winter like. Maybe another light accum, T-1" deal on Monday with that system, and I'm still watching the 22nd-26th for bigger potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow_Miser Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 This was a very nice little snow event for my area in Somerset County. The only thing that could have been better is if this would have come at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Monday - Tues deal, I'm not so sure the models are done trending yet. With the AO tanking, another 100 miles south with suppression and we'll be in business.

TWCCraig Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Getting a light coating again as a decent band is over us. I estimate 0.2" so far, but with this band, it's accumulating quickly. Might be able to squeeze out half an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongBeachSurfFreak Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Rain snow mix in Wantagh no accums ever today. Typical South Shore snow hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR Airglow Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Greatest accumulation of the day so far, just walked out of a restaruant and was suprised to see it still snowing. Up to a dusting now, although nothing's showing up on radar... -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pamela Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Light snow Port Jefferson...temp down to 33.2 F. Measured 7/10ths of an inch of snow in Port Jefferson as of 7:30 PM. Temp 30.9 F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cold&cloudy Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Didn't get much, but we did have moderate to occasionally heavy snowfall for a few hours this afternoon. Less than an inch I think. Really enjoying this weather. Temp hovered around freezing all afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday was also only in the low 40s, so we picked up a slight negative departure as well. Amazing to think that trees were starting to bud last year at this time in southern New Hampshire, where I was living and working at a boarding school. Different scene tonight in the NYC suburbs with a dead landscape coated in a wet March snow. Gorgeous, and we still have the 3/18 SW flow event and hopefully a coastal between 3/21-3/24. Having lived here for many years, chances for meaningful snowfall decline greatly a few days after the equinox. This would be the pattern to deliver, however.

Absolute Humidity Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Looks beautiful outside right now even with fresh snowfall covering all but the streets. Here's a pic of earlier today. Pretty awesome for March 16. Will at least begin St. Patty's day white over green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR Airglow Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Looks like precip is done here according to the radar, storm total .25", if I had to take a wild guess accumulation would have been around 2-3" if it all stuck. Still a nice event none the less, and a taste of what hopefully is to come on tuesday. -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set up is perfect with a 50-50 low, west-based -NAO block, and a shortwave digging into the Gulf and drawing moisture northwards: This probably won't be the last threat, as the coastal brings another pool of -10C 850s over us, and that could set up another chance for a front-ender on 3/30 as a closed low digs into the Plains with the block retrograding into central Canada. Verbatim it cuts west on the 18z GFS, but the pattern supports two major threats from 3/23-3/30 following the SW flow event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even going to begin to speculate on 3/30, but I do agree that we have one more shot at a big one on the 24th. By 3/30, I think it's just too warm to see something huge happen, possible, yes, but very rare. That week between 3/24 and 3/30 takes it from unlikely but possible(especially with the setup we have now) to very rare, atleast in my opinion... I have a feeling tuesday is going to overperform, not sure why, but I just have a feeling that we are going to be happy with the outcome... -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pamela Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 NYC CPK saw 0.3", ISP saw 0.1", LGA, JFK, BDR, & EWR: saw a trace. About an hour before sunset a streamer off the Sound came into my area and I had light to moderate snow that finally stuck for almost two hours, resulting in an accumulation of 0.7". It had snowed out here since about 2 PM but the snow had great difficulty overcoming the mid-March sun, making accumulation almost impossible.
