Wetbulbs88 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Just now, ict1523 said: Eyeballing about 6-7" here in the South Bronx. A light to moderate snow/graupel mix continues to fall with gusty winds, but nothing major, probably gusting into the mid 30s. Never went to rain or above freezing here. Had the upper levels stayed colder, totals could have been much higher. Still, a respectable mid March winter storm. Yeah my feelings are kind of torn between 'this was a bust' and 'this was mildly interesting'. I'm certain I would have been 'very excited' had we been progged to get 3-6 inches of slop in mid-March. So it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The storm is simultaneously west of modeled tracks, but the pattern is more progressive and it's a late phase. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That raced pretty well out ahead of the northern stream energy and thanks to the steering pattern as doorman posted it gave it a clear shot to move almost due north along the coastline, had the southern stream energy hung back even a little bit the northern stream would have caught up and not only made the phase but aided in pushing things further east, instead we see a partial phase and a northern stream piece of energy that slung shot this right up the coast along the steering pattern in place at that time.

Weird. actually it ticks off all the boxes with how the season has been going 1) all storms ended up farther west than originally progged, that's how we did well in the Jan and Feb storms 2) the pattern has been progressive all season 3) all the phases have been late and sloppy and occurred at a higher latitude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP this storm ticks off all the boxes for how the season was going. As I've told others, the coast jackpots when storms that are progged to be well out to sea trend westward and are hits. That's what happened in Jan and Feb. I got two 10" snowstorms out of that. The problem happens when storms are progged to hit you well in advance, they also trend westward. Also, the pattern has been progressive all season long so no reason for it to stop now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
