JerseyWx Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Very hard to measure here, because the colder surfaces like the deck and table had just about a half inch or maybe slightly under, but the grass was a Trace. It might not be much, but it's really nice to see everything with a light snow coating on a Spring morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB GFI Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I said ground temps were going to be a problem yesterday and I got bashed and laughed at..lolYou were rightfully bashed because the guidance was showing. 5 to .75 falling at night. With those rates ( proved by last year's storm which fell during the day ) would have stuck. Do you know why the snow didn't stick on your roads at 9 pm last night ? It wasn't because it was 60 for a week it was because by the time all this came to pass only .2 was forecast and fell . Which was always the argument. Lighter rates equal poorer BL and with the absence of heavier rates it's cant stick. I showed you last year's storm to the day , which fell during the way with warmer 850s / similar forecast BL and temps the week before we were in the 50's . .6 to .8 were forecast /fell so we easily cooled and 5 to 7 accumulated. It's always about rates / without it evaporative cooling does not reach its max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WintersGrasp Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 A light dusting on car tops and some grassy areas lol. Looks like a nice hit out on Long Island though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Not bad to see accumulating snow two years in a row on March 20-21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB GFI Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Wow. Around 3 inches out here. Roads completely snow covered and moderate snow continues. 31 Snow covered roads ? Impossible. It was 60 for the last 2 weeks . Snow can not stick on the roads in late March. Oh wait .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO812 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Snow covered roads ? Impossible. It was 60 for the last 2 weeks . Snow can not stick on the roads in late March. Oh wait .... Exactly It can stick in late march with good rates and especially if it snows overnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterwarlock Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Lol there were some cartops with a bit of snow when I woke up...virtually nothing stuck as I thought...marginal temps and marginal rates. Why people keep buying into the snowier models and tossing the least snowy is our great mystery. March snow is not about hugging snow maps...kudos to NWS in Mt Holly for their accurate reasoned forecast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover74 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Surprisingly had close to an inch on colder surfaces. Next to nothing stuck to the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Barely a trace here. Not even on the colder surfaces. I had to scrape my windshield this morning, that was the extent of it. In Ramsey we actually got about a half inch and the grass is pretty much covered, but the sun is out now and I suspect it will be all gone before noon.

IsentropicLift Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Congrats is in order to the Long Island crew, this time managing to pull off the upset of all upsets by receiving a significant accumulating snowfall in late March while the interior barely saw anything. Especially in a March that featured multiple 80 degree days. It's unbelievable how much of a roller coaster ride this month has been, and it's only 2/3rds over.

EastonSN+ Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 just measured 3 exactly over one hour after the snow stopped and 34 degrees, so may have been a bit more. EXACTLY 30 for the year. First time ever with exactly 30 for the year and exactly average. How can I post a picture? This is for Easton CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why people keep buying into the snowier models and tossing the least snowy is our great mystery. March snow is not about hugging snow maps...kudos to NWS in Mt Holly for their accurate reasoned forecast Mt. Holly busted badly for everyone, especially along or east of the NJ TPK, as you know from my posts on the RU board. You were predicted to get an inch of snow yesterday morning and got none, while I was predicted to get 2" and got 1/4" and folks near the coast were predicted to get 2-4" and the most I've seen reported by the NWS is 2" in Toms River. The NWS was not "hugging models" but taking a blended average of several models - sometimes forecasts simply don't work out - worked out fine for NYC/LI though, apparently.

IsentropicLift Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 So who threw out the less snowy models for your area and only discussed the overblown models? PM me with links to the posts in question. Thanks. All of us that analyze model runs here were pretty much in agreement on Friday that this was a 3-6" coast, 2-4" event inland. And then we were all pretty much in agreement that it was a 1-3" coast, <1" inland by yesterday. The only posters humping the really snowy models were the ones living out on Long Island where the most snow fell by far, so I don't really see a problem with that.

In fact, my forecast was close to perfect...see below: Nice to see you WG...the storm appears to be fizzling; looks like an inch in NYC...and maybe up to 3 inches on Long Island. In other words, 42 pages for what amounts to practically a non-event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
