LongBeachSurfFreak Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 The insane anomalous weather continues. It's been a few years now. Watch us be in the 90s in a few weeks. I agree but what a fun winter it was. A couple solid surprises. I had my January super band that dropped 3.5 that no one a few miles north saw a flake. I have to give this winter b+ now. And I have a feeling before the block breaks one more surprise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinkers88 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I know this isn't directly obs, but it is related to the absolute absurd blocking we have right now. Low to mid 50s along SW Greenland coast today. That is about a +40 for them. Just insane, likely without precedent. WOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaner587 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 KNYC stands at 26.1 for the season and 7.3 for the month of march. Donsutherland nailed the march forecast. Wouldn't be surprised if favored areas see another 6 inches or so from another 1-2 storms. This is assuming we see nothing in April, but with blocking so late in the winter an early April storm isn't out of the question either. Impressive stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I always wonder about CT DOT snowfall reports out of danbury. they were like 6" too high with oct 2011, i thought. other times they seem low. Im curious how DOT's measure snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJO812 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 The question is how long until it breaks, the blocking looks solid even as we enter April. Based off the CPC site, the AO is predicted to rise near neutral around the 1st week of April. I think the 2nd week of April is when we will see warmer temps.

jm1220 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Lol they'll come in with a final lower than the initial 1.8. Just kidding but could see them doing that and it being like 2.5 or so. Either way it appears we've seen as many 4+ events in the last 10 days as the previous 4 months of fall/winter. Crazy march, and think it keeps on giving Looks like Central Park snuck in with the 3.0" I thought they would. Still a lot better than I thought Manhattan would do tonight. We lucked out that it hit like a wall and it was in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much through lucking out with table scraps from the bigger events that happened around us. Transitional climate FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lucked out that it hit like a wall and it was in the evening. Ya less than what truly fell (most likely) but still acceptable in my book. And really good "mood snow" as you put it lol. It's like mid winter out there these last couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYC is right near average. and a couple very near misses which would have made it well above avg. winter was very active and fun to track for sure....

Kaner587 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 If we can find a way to get a big storm before the pattern breaks (6+, unlikely but certainly possible) this winter would jump from a C- at the end of feb to potentially as high as a B+ by winters end.

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 This winter was a good winter. Still not over yet. nope, i hope not...im coming back up north in a week or so. would be nice if the block and the waves running into it can spin off something significant. then we can turn to spring!

I think the 2nd week of April is when we will see warmer temps. Remember when people were afraid that this winter was going to be a dud? NYC is right near average. I actually think the AO will not rise as rapidly as predicted and the NAO looks to remain consistently negative into early April. I would think we see warmer temps for the 2nd week or April but we could still be somewhat below normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the rebound may be quick, it does seem like it could take some days into April (as you suggest) before spring weather takes over. Maybe another cold shot/storm potential in the first 10 days before spring commences 3 weeks late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fingers are crossed I think there's a decent chance to get another 6" storm this winter considering the huge potential next week. Actually wouldn't it be something if our biggest snow storm of the year came in early Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 40 inches might not be out of the question ( pushing it ) I'm thinking there will be a storm, where is the question and therefore where it slams (western NC to New England's in the game). This could be like the F5 at the end of Twister if we play our cards right. We'll have to strap ourselves down to the nearest pipe to hold ourselves back from the awesomeness.

sferic Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Just remember April 19th 1983, NYC had Winter Storm Warnings up and we got a few inches of snow. And of Course, I remember May 9th, 1977 when NYC had a trace of snow and daytime highs in the Mid 30's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
