BxEngine Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Must be the Euro realizing that we're part of a subtropical climate. If we can somehow tie in a 950 low near the benchmark as being climo, this thread can be closed. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag3 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Must be the Euro realizing that we're part of a subtropical climate. It's nice that areas that average mid 60s (eastern VA and Maryland) are getting another last minute miracle shift for the 3rd time this month. Some parts went from flurries to 6"-12" of snow in less then 12 hours. And not just on the euro, but on the entire model suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the amount of snow we've received over the past several years means we should certainly be complaining about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Sandy only a year and a half ago was 940mb at just under 40N, so 950mb a few degrees further north is no biggie whatsoever. Run of the mill.

Run of the mill. Nowadays we scoff at anything above 980mb. Boxing Day can be compared to a clipper from the early 2000's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can not think of more then 1 or 2 storms in the last few years, that have made last minute miracle shifts to the snowy side for us. And the Eastern VA area has seen 3 unprecedented model shifts in the past 3 weeks alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 For reference 0Z Euro has a tenth in Central Park (down from 0.27 last run), 0.22" at Islip (down from 0.37), and 0.44" Montauk (0.87" last run) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weathergun Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Nowadays we scoff at anything above 980mb. Boxing Day can be compared to a clipper from the early 2000's. Amazing we could see a storm at our latitude in the 950mbs, without a tropical connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Eastern VA area has seen 3 unprecedented model shifts in the past 3 weeks alone. March 1980 analog FTL. I was worried when I started seeing that show up on analog packages. - This will go down as the most incredible 40 days of wasted cold air I have ever seen in my life.

A few minor tweaks could have really made this a nice hit for us. If the southern stream was maybe 12 hours slower, the northern stream could have made for a phase in time.

tmagan Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Takes a second of thought, but if one or two of the four winter storm threats worked out to some extent, we would've challenged the #1 winter snowfall record. And now you're frustrated. In mid-February it looked fairly certain for Central Park to have a top two snowfall season. Central Park will not even finish in the top five snowfall seasons.

bluewave Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Amazing we could see a storm at our latitude in the 950mbs, without a tropical connection. I think 952 mb is the record for a non-tropical within 150 miles of the BM. The lowest non-hurricane barometric pressure reading in the lower 48 states is 28.10" (952 mb) measured at Bridgehampton, New York (Long Island) during an amazing nor'easter on March 1, 1914 (see Kocin and Uccellini,"Northeast Snowstorms; Vol. 2., p. 324, American Meteorological Society, 2004.)

IsentropicLift Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 While this one is pretty hard to swallow, outside of one GGEM run that went bonkers, this never looked like more than a glancing blow for our area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveWinter Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 In mid-February it looked fairly certain for Central Park to have a top two snowfall season. Central Park will not even finish in the top five snowfall seasons. #7 is still pretty awesome considering most of it came between Jan-mid Feb. But yea if 1 or 2 of the March storms worked out, this winter would have been real close to being #1. It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
