psv88 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Can those of you saying "who cares" please stop posting? Thanks. This. It's 11:15 and the snow is still piling up at my house, its not melting in an hour. What a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 So when the guys to the NW got 2-3 inches before it was washed away in the rain storms, that snow didnt count either? Or does that rule only count for the coast? This is the golden snowfall era for us at the coast. It makes up for all the NOAA weather radio days from the 70's to the early 90's....snow quickly changing to rain at the coast...heaviest snow over the interior...story at 11...

I remember as a kid, NW would get hammered and Suffolk would be raining. Now Suffolk and Monmouth are the new snow capitals. Nassau has done very well this year as well.

PB GFI Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Thanks. I know PB has spiked the football many times before the final results came out. Last storm he said 2-4 for the airports and not one airport had about 2 There's 3 here in Colts Neck 5 in Toms River. If JFK doesn't finish with 2 I bet a LI station 10 miles to its east does. I only spike when I'm right. I was 2 city 4 south and east from 3 days out. Think most of that will be right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherFeen2000 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 1.5 inches here in Pelham NY 31 degrees with snow flurries. Total for the season around 38 inches Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masomenos Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 My favorite kind of snow...the kind that accumulates beautifully on vegetation while not even a flake to shovel on the driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ag3 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Looks like everything went as forecast except for a few more inches in se jersey I expected a coating to .5" for the boroughs. Looks like 1"-2" fell. A little above expectations, but nothing crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens all the time with precip forecasts, but nobody notices since so much of our annual precp is in liquid form. Too bad we can't get a snowstorm that exceeds guidance by as much as the Islip 13 inch torrential rainstorm did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv88 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 To be fair, this is the 4th biggest storm of the season, so there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember like it was yesterday that I was 10 years old owning one of those NOAA weather monitors. The way they talked with there robotic voices. Back in those days except for a few occasions, the coast battled with the rain/snow line while NW Jersey would jackpot. In recent years everything has flipped on us with coastal areas cashing in with the bigger snows. I'm a firm believer that weather is cyclical. Eventually it will swing back the other way.

bluewave Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Better than 90% in most years... I guess its tougher for the met community during the winter since the general public can expect perfection when it comes to forecasting snowfall. But rainfall forecast variability which is also common, only seems to get noticed in the really larger magnitude misses than we can see with convection.

Must be the epic 2000's blocking setting up the more favorable storm tracks for snow at the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's why the normal forecast margin of error gets so much more attention during frozen events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I don't know PB. Going by many years of experience, LGA and JFK usually come in with very little during marginal situations, as if they measure snow on cement, instead of a snow board. Wouldn't be surprised if they both reported .3"-.5" with KNYC reporting about 1". We shall see. I have found the complete opposite to be true through the years. Even though the Conservancy is taking official measurements this year at KNYC vs. the infamous zookeeper of years past, I've found Central Park to ignore many marginal events entirely and stick to their usual regime in cases like this of measuring at 7am and 1pm and ignore any melting, compressing or settling in between those times periods even if the snow had stopped for hours. There's a reason the Zoo doesn't measure anymore, they stunk at it. This year I'd consider the Conservancy a marginal improvement at best and that's being kind.
