Guest Pamela Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Ski Windham is in the Catskills in NYS. We had just over 3" on 4/1/97. This time of year water freezes at a much lower temperature. At least I learned something useful from this thread. Edward, fax all complaints to NWS Albany...since it is from their page the copy 'n paste comes...

Were a few posts looking back at another early Spring snow event for the sake of comparison soooooooooo difficult to endure that you needed to correct some of us?

weatherpruf Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I remember that march 31/april 1 1997 storm well...we got 8 inches imby and it was bitter cold that morning plowing...a cruel April fools joke...I believe we had 60s and 70s earlier in the month I am in central NJ in Woodbridge and I do not recall any storm at all in the area. I know because I was already fishing the bay for flounder. It must have skipped most of northern Middlesex co completely. I remember no storms of significance after 96 until Dec 30 2000. It sounds like we missed a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheManWithNoFace Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'm just here for the Warby Parker ads at the bottom anyway. So we've seen the surface low progs slide S a touch but the precip shield expand N. I think this is a ripe scenario for non accumulating snow. Id go 1-3 northern Philly burbs to Manhattan and Bronx, mainly on unpaved surfaces. Coating elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 looks like a general 1-3 inch snowfall for the area You're pushing it, if the Gfs is correct its a rain/snow mix at 34F during the day that doesn't accumulate. Gfs brings in some nice warm weather after early next week too. Looks like we'll see 60s after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheManWithNoFace Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Nam has below freezing temps during the storm It's not enough. It's too light. 1008 SE of the benchmark isn't going to give the rates needed for daytime snow accumulation on 3/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder7842 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Looks like NAM is about .25 to .30 of precip for NYC. All snow, but of course accum will be lost during the daylight hours with light to mod snow. So what would you say, maybe a slushy inch to inch and a half on colder surfaces according to the NAM? Anyone have the snow map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder7842 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Snowmap has 2-4 inches for the area I find it hard to believe we could get 3 or 4 out of what NAM is showing. Maybe 2 tops. If the snow map is showing 2 to 4, I think you have to cut it in half because of time of year. It would be different if it was night, or heavy snow during the day. But NAM is mod snow at best, and during the daytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 It would be better if the snow comes down heavier, but the NAM would show accumulating snow. Temps are around 31-32, not all of the snow falls during the afternoon, and temps are cold for a while before snow starts falling. It would struggle to get past an inch or two especially in the city, but I think it would accumulate, especially away from paved ground. But the sun will be a factor if the snow can't get past light intensity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheManWithNoFace Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 It's enough on the Nam. You do know that we have seen snow in mid April right? Different kinds of storms. This is a weak slp It's enough on the Nam. You do know that we have seen snow in mid April right? .15LE over a 3hr frame is 1/2" an hour. Not enough in March. Of course it can snow in April. Hell there's no rule that says it can't snow in July, but it had better be a dynamic system. This one isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle W Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 this time of the year can produce snow without a strong system...March 18th 1994 was a clipper type storm with snow falling during the mid day...snow wasn't that heavy but stuck anyway...

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Still looks like a slushy inch car topper. Those talking about importance of rates are dead on. It's not the April 82 event (a week before i was born) were you had an actual blizzard with amazing dynamics tapping into an extremely cold air mass. Run of the mill late season snow. Falls light melts fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder7842 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 GGEM looks quite a bit colder than previous runs. We seem to be getting more evidence for a light slushy accumulation at least. Even just an inch or two would be very nice this late in the season. A nice way to welcome in spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Clearing 3 inches in NYC after March 20th would be a significant late season snowfall event which hasn't happened since 1996. http://www1.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/orders/IPS/IPS-FE0E2916-3517-4B58-837B-1B122598B0E5.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
