IsentropicLift Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 The radar is blossoming again near Wilkes Barre, hoping that somehow, someway, this was just the end of round one before round two moves in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upton has to see something. Short fused WWA for an area that has yet to see any measurable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Forky posted a great loop in the main thread which shows the low level dry slot, that's pushing southeast towards the city now and will hopefully fill back in from the NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see how deep the pack is there but I think I'd like to find some snow shoes first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Still can't believe all the dry air. Reviewed a few reports of basically nothing out near high point & wantage NJ. Bustorama in those areas. Feel lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRVTS Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 We need thread for the true diehard snow lover. I will root for snow into the latter part of April or May if necessary. Not sure if anybody in that diehard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hey HV gang. I feel what you're all feeling. Nice returns were over my area all day and we got no more than flurries. Tough one to swallow again for the interior... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Nothing tough about it. This was an appropriate storm to break the pattern with. We had every type of precip, wind, sideways snow and real cold to finish it off. So what it wasn't a big accumulation, I think most of us in the area got close to what we actually expected I know I did. The driveway is sufficiently narrow with 6+ foot banks the whole length and I'm going to need one more oil delivery because it's been so cold. It's been a good winter. On to mud season!

WarrenCtyWx Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Just out of curiosity, does anyone know why these storms with such a confined precipitation field have basically become the new norm in recent years? Maybe the new norm would be an overstatement, but this seems to be a recurring feature with the majority of these snow events in the modern era.

No matter what type of event it is nw areas always get less precip . Sign of the times ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snywx Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 We have all thought the same . No matter what type of event it is nw areas always get less precip . Sign of the times ? For as long as I can remember thats always been the case. The coast always receives more precip. What I have noticed is that the storm tracks have changed significantly. The days of the coast changing to rain are few and far between now. What many are failing to realize though is that the coast isn't the only place averaging above norm snowfall. Most of us up here are 5-10" above normal for the last 12 yrs or so as well. Places such as Monroe, Highland Mills, Harriman in SE Orange County are prob averaging 65"since 2000. 1990-2020 averages should show a nice adjustment upward for a good chunk of the northeast.

Truth be told, I have managed to climb to a season total of 74.4 inches ytd. biggest storm November 26th/27th with a total of 12.2 inches. So many small events, it's rather awsome.

Keith O Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 We have all thought the same . No matter what type of event it is nw areas always get less precip . Sign of the times ? Definetely been the trend for the past 5 years. I am not sure I have had a double digit storm in several years while E (SE, E and NE) of me had had several. I can't remember the last coastal to track inside the benchmark which is what we need to jackpot. If there are no concerns with snow going to rain along the coast or on LI than we "inlanders" are typically screwed and that has been the case the past few years. We have been screwed by storms going to far east, too far south, dry air entrainment, you name it and we find a way to get fringed. Regardless I have about 20" of glacier that is going to take some time to melt for sure. Been a good winter and still waiting for the elusive 12+" storm N+W of 78/287.

NepaJames8602 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I received and epic quarter inch from this event here in the Poconos. Cutoff remained south of me near route 80, some parts of the southern Poconos recorded 4-5 inches, while the Lehigh Valley further to the south received near 6". What a sick joke.

Juliancolton Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 It looks like the warmup mid-month could be quite brief. Temps on the weeklies are somewhat below average for the second half of March and into April... nothing like the cold we've seen, of course. Even if the long-range models are too aggression with the pattern reload, the deeply frozen ground, cold ocean and river temps, and deep snowpack dictate that we'd still need more than "near or slightly below average" to facilitate sustained warm-season activities. One would expect that below-normal temps and the inherent baroclinicity of March would leave the door open for continued (or resumed) wintry threats.
