Since February 15th, KNYC has had 1.8" of snow.

 

Its snowing very nicely in Port Jefferson this morning...temp just above freezing. I think the RGEM had it.   This morning's snow may accumulate as much as I've seen since February 19th...which is just 0.4".

Reminder...I was looking at the maps for 1 hour accumulated precip since 12z and immediately thought from 7 AM back to 6 AM...but with setting the clocks ahead...that now represents 8 AM back to 7 AM.

Might be time to change the thread title as February is already long gone.

 

It's a continuation of the same pattern with no sustained spring weather in sight yet. The days that we get into

the 50's aren't that much above normal for this time of year. The colder days continue to be more impressive

for this time of year than the warm ones with the potential for -10 or lower daily departures later this week

and again next week.

KNYC has 80 days with a minimum of 32 or lower so far...It's possible it could get another 5-10 before it's over...even if we get to 90 days it isn't near the record...the most since 1930;

 

 

NWS Upton now with 112 days of 32 F or lower for a minimum since late September.

The cold isn't producing any snow with the +NAO pattern, however. Just cold shots followed by rainstorms.

 

Last March, though it didn't have as large a negative temperature departure, was more interesting with the 3/8 and 3/18 storms.

This March would turn out to be quite the outlier if we don't finish the month with above normal snowfall here. 

It's looking like NYC has the potential to finish March with an average temperature around 40 or even lower.

All the years since 1980 that were this cold featured above normal snowfall Central Park. So I think we still

have the potential to finish with over 3.6" at Central Park this March.

I think the March 12-20 period will feature at least one snowfall in Central Park/NYC. 12z ECM shows temperatures well below normal with 850s reaching -16C Thursday and remaining in the -8C to -12C out towards Day 10. Historically, the equinox has had some decent snowfalls so that period around March 20 could be a potential threat.

since 1950 when KNYC averages less than 40.0 the average snowfall is 10.7"...

Thursday looks like the high for the day should be around midnight and afternoon

temperatures will remain below freezing. JFK has a shot at a record low on

Friday with the current  record of 19 set in 1993. It will be interesting to see if 

we can tie or set a new record low after we got the record high today. The previous

record high was set during the cold March 1967.

19 in 1993

This morning's low temperature of 18° at Central Park, is the first reading in the teens this late in March since 1993. The last reading below 20° this late in the season or later was March 19, 1993 when the temperature fell to 15°.

 

It will be interesting to see if periodic cold shots lead to the first April freeze in New York City since 2007. The last reading at or below 32° in April was 30° on April 8, 2007.
