St. Paddy's Day east coast snow storm 2014-or maybe the St Paddys' hangover storm?

[weathafella]

Folks, guidance has been hinting for the 3/16-18 period for quite some time and the past 2-3 runs of the euro have really honed in on this with the past 2 runs nearly identical in burying the megopolis of I95 dc-boston and throughout NNE as well.   

 

This has been a throwback winter similar to many I experienced as a young boy and young man in the 1950s and 60s.   During many of those winters, the classic storm near the equinox was robust and frequently long lasting dumping gobs of snow.

 

1956, 1957, 1958, 1960 come to mind.  

 

I normally wouldn't start this thread 8 days out but the signal is loud enough in my view to start looking at this one critically.

 

Let's get a burial over all east coast weenieland!

Let's run this one out and then embrace spring....at some point...lol.

[weathafella]

Of course verbatim today on the euro it's in lala land but fun to speculate.  Crushing PM on 3/17.  Folks heading for beer, corned beef and cabbage, and hopefully not driving will bunker in at the bar...lol.

The Old Men Storm

You'll come down after they shut the chair for heavy snow and wind. And then you will toast Leon and laugh at the younger weenies.

I'll give you and Steve props for sticking to your guns regarding the 94 type pattern. Certainly a hat tip to you guys.

Any memories from the Blizz of 1888?

Lol, well they never close the lower Mt so I will stay out,totally feeling stormy times.

In all seriousness i was a young kid and lots of folks were alive who remembered that storm and it still got a lot of press.

Thanks means a lot. Your insight is so valuable to me.Thank you for furthering my education.

[Damage In Tolland]

Man we are gonna have deep snowpack into like April 15th territory. No yard work for another month plus

You laugh Giuseppe, one day a grandkid will sit on your lap and ask about Feb2013 and you will be surprised how fast it passed.

Almost half my yard exposed now, but the back and side is still snow covered. This is now the classic haves vs have nots. One side of the street 6-8" deep, the other side almost bare. Classic March. My guess is you'll be doing work before that. We can always hope St Patrick drops a foot..lol.

Well I was thinking 6 plus Wed nite and then 12-18 with Jerry's Blizz.. And there will prob be 5-8 left after Tuesdays mildness.. And you figure there's at least one big one in early April

I posted in the other thread but man was I surprised how deep the snow in the woods is, 10-12. I noticed today on RT12 in Killingly houses on NE exposures still buried with roofs still full.When driving you see these exposed areas then boom around a corner its buried.

Thanks for the kind words!

To me, once I saw the GOAK ssta by late summer my eyes out up but the signal was there months before that.

Euro ensembles like the St. Paddy's threat today along with the other ensemble guidance.

 It's almost similar to this next storm in a way.

[Cold Miser]

Just so I'm clear, this is NOT a thread related to this Wed/Thurs. system?

Correct. Wed/Thu is NOT St. Patty's Day :-)

[joey2002]

I wonder how it compared to the blizzard of '78?  Can't even imagine how they dealt with that much snow back in 1888...

[SnowMan]

If this happens and the midweek storm happens this will be the best winter since we moved out here as it pertains to cold and snow.

[Cold Miser]

Correct. Wed/Thu is NOT St. Patty's Day :-)

lol. Yeah, I know.  Until I saw this thread, I didn't even know there was a threat for then.

 

I've had many a snow storm around my birthday time (March 16th.).

[weathafella]

1888 had higher impact.

1. It was mild and few knew what was about to come as light rain began.

2. Many were stranded in transit and lost their lives.

3. You didn't have big azz diesel powered vehicles to keep roadways open. It completely paralyzed NYC.

[Damage In Tolland]

I was stranded in the 1888 storm

[TalcottWx]

I can't handle the parade being cold. I want 60's.
