Isotherm Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 This will probably finish as the 2nd coldest March at my station going back to 1977, with only 1984 colder. 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).

Will easily be the coldest Jan-Mar period here...about 1 degree lower than 1978. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 To have a third consecutive cold start to spring after the two warmest springs on record in 2010 and 2012 is quite a reversal. 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...

bluewave Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Crazy differences and this March we actually had the snow to go along with the well below average temperatures. It finally let us add a top ten snowiest March to the previous October-February top tens since 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 GGEM throws a nuke bomb for NE, what a model. 998 Mb low north of LI. (For Wednesday) 00z GGEM has it. Over 1" LE here. BL would be limiting factor, otherwise it looks cold enough for snow. 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. 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.

snowman19 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Sucks the bl is warm. Could have been a few inches. Looks like a mix.The boundary layer and thicknesses are a huge issue even for areas nw of nyc. Even if wet snow falls it ain't accumulating. Ratios will suck and precip rates are very light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Easter storm is warm. This epic pattern is going to fail. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazzo83 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Easter storm is warm. This epic pattern is going to fail. We had one of our coldest months on record (which is insane for the 21st Century) and a top 10 snowy March (and the park got another 50"+ winter). What on Earth are you complaining about?

This epic pattern is going to fai It's so late in the season now that even a great pattern is more likely to result in rain than snow. It's just about April.
