bluewave Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Only the 6th March since 2000 that NYC dipped below 15 degrees. This is like a less extreme version of getting the below 0 reading last February in one of the warmest winters on record. 2017...14....2015...12..2014...13...2009...12...2007....11...2003....11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the low during that outbreak 13 degrees on March 14th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A NYC high of 70 on 3/1 followed by a low of 14 today. Another temperature rebound on the way with temps making a run on 60 degrees in a few days. Same theme continues with the warmest day ultimately having a more significant + departure than the lowest - departure. What about this thing I'm hearing about really extreme cold air, the coldest air in the northern hemisphere being just north of the border and that a little kink in the jetstream could bring it our way next week?

Probably the slickest remnant snowpack with a sheet of ice on top that I have seen. But the best late season Arctic outbreak was around the April 82 blizzard. Temperatures in the 20's during the afternoon with the blizzard and 3 daily record lows in a row. 29 minutes ago, Paragon said: What about this thing I'm hearing about really extreme cold air, the coldest air in the northern hemisphere being just north of the border and that a little kink in the jetstream could bring it our way next week? It looks like a battle between the raging PAC Jet and blocking trying to get going. You see this back and forth with the SE ridge going up and down while Canada gets very cold. We go from 70 to 14 and back near 60 in just a few days. EPS has at least two more colder shots right into mid-March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very rare any year to see dewpoints below -10 in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative double-digit dewpoints are pretty impressive for March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EPS has at least two more colder shots right into mid-March. I think it got down to 19 degrees fairly close to the city (Newark and Long Island) and it stayed cold most of that week in April and we even got a small snow event (like 1") the following weekend! I like what I see on those maps, perhaps this is what Isotherm was referring to when he said 'the best set up for snow of the entire season.'

donsutherland1 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 During the March 1-20, 1950-2016 period, 9 storms brought 6" or more snow to at least 2 of the following cities: Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, or New York. Below are the number of cases for each of those cities that saw 6" or more snow: Boston: 6 New York City: 8 Philadelphia: 8 Washington, DC: 2 (March 1960 and March 1993, both of which brought 6" or more to all of the above cities) Put another way, a storm that would bring 6" or more snow to Washington during this timeframe is less likely to bring 6" or more snow to any of those other cities than one that would bring 6" or more to Boston, Philadelphia, or New York City.

There is a possibility with the suppression we are seeing that no one on the coastal plain sees 6" of snow from the weekend event. Lucky for us, there are even more threats to track after that!

The outcomes largely illustrate how strong the PV/suppression must be for DCA and southward to pick up a significant March snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 We continue the theme of some of the most extreme temperature variation ever experienced here during the first half of March.
