Through today I'm at a 36.4F mean, -4.7 below normal. That mean temperature is more akin to December's normal. Impressive stretch of cold means since November: Nov: 43.2 Dec: 40.2 Jan: 29.0 Feb: 22.2 Mar: 36.4 That's a 5-month mean of 34.2F (-3.3 departure), and a meteorological winter DJF mean of 30.5F (-2.9 departure).

Crazy differences and this March we actually had the snow to go along with the well below average temperatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Albany seems keen to toss the snowier solutions even way up here. I think for this event you really want some meaningful elevation... or a sharper shortwave trough I guess. Quote WHILE ON PAPER IT LOOKS COLDENOUGH FOR THIS PRECIPITATION TO BE SNOW...THAT FACT THAT IT ISNEARLY APRIL...THE AIR MASS WILL NOT BE ALL THAT COLD...AND MUCH OFTHE PRECIPITATION WILL FALL DURING THE DAY ALLOWING SOLAR INFLUENCETHROUGH THE CLOUDS...PTYPE WILL BE A CHALLENGE.

Juliancolton Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 The GFS adjusted southward with the entire surface feature, placing the metro well north of any non-trivial precip. It's also faster, and consequently warmer. There's really nothing here IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow admittedly It's not looking good for Brooklyn. There's still wiggle room in there but not much for you. Well N and W I still think has a shot, it's still 5 days off and this path isn't set in stone yet. If you take todays runs just about everyone sees rain.
