Long range NAM, but I just wanted to show how complex this setup for next week is at H5. There are actually four pieces at play. We need something to bring this system back towards the coast, otherwise it's minimal impact with perhaps some snow for the interior Mid-Atlantic.

One of the biggest players you didnt label.  That's the confluence just north of Maine.

I think the next two weeks of March is going to average slightly below normal. My forecast shows highs around 41-42F while averages are moving into the mid and upper 40s. NYC's average high hits 50F around the Equinox. I think the trough in control will give us 1-2 more threats, starting with Monday. The UKMET is pretty close to a major Nor'easter.

We need that feature to be more in the traditional 50/50 position. If it presses too far to the south over Maine, the storm will be suppressed. It needs to shift slightly northeast.

Honestly, Smithtown and points east in the north shore were hit pretty hard (I'm not sure about the rest of the area, I can only account for where I was). This storm was just a bit too close to the coast, for this time of year. Had the main SLP been the one which took over later (near bm) and not the one right next to the coast, NYC and LI would have been absolutely rocked.

 

 

We go thru this every year , these guys have no clue how the N shore of LI acts 

It's not NYC , nothing accumulated there but 8 to 10 fell from Laurel Hollow to Lloyds Neck out towards Smithtown

 

The N shore of LI acts like SNE once you're N of Jehrico tpke

Yup. When I drove north from the Lab on Wm. Floyd yesterday afternoon, it was like someone flipped a switch when I hit the Rte. 25 overpass - went from full-on sleet/rain storm to blinding snow. So much snowier north of there and back west towards my house in Port Jeff Station.

I wouldn’t exactly say it didn’t accumulate in the city. Just north of midtown it was a whole different world. I had 6” at Columbia. It was the heart of the heat island that killed accumulations. The city had hours of heavy snow some of which was 3”/hr with thunder.

We missed the 2/5 storm here due to suppression. So the 2/26 storm for us was day 16 starting on the 10th for storm 3.

It was still 3 Nor'easters in 10 days. Parts of Staten Island got a good snowfall from 2/5, as well. 

That was an amazing month in Dobbs Ferry. Had 13" on 2/10, 6.5" on 2/16, and 26" on 2/26. Nearly 50" in one month.

Saying no snow accumulated in NYC is an exaggeration...had 5-6" in the Bronx.

An amazing year in general. I was in Ellicott City, Maryland at the time, commuting to College Park for my senior year. The Baltimore area will be hard pressed to see snow like that again in my lifetime.

Yea, we had 48" in one month. Some parts of MD/VA/SE PA had that amount in 2 storms, 2/5 and 2/10.

2/16 wasn't really a major noreaster compared to the impacts of the recent 2 storms here. The big events at least in the metro were 2/11 and 2/26 that month.

Yes, the 2/16 storm was a moderate 4-8" snowfall. 

Could have been a HUGE snowpack if Feb 2010 had been colder. There were some warm days though in between the 2/10 and 2/26 systems.

2/5 was the most impressive output of moisture I've ever seen, bar none. We got about 32 inches in Ellicott City. There's a point during a blizzard when the snow just begins dumping those needle flakes at prolific rates. But during 2/5, the flakes remained dime or even quarter-sized the entire time, with temperatures reaching the single-digits.

Was living in Arlington,Va that year going to business school in DC. Remember about 4 feet of snow on the ground. Most I can ever recall seeing on the ground in major urban area and I’ve lived on LI/NYC for pretty much my entire life. Felt like I didn’t have class for a month with those feb storms.

Yeah, the -AO/-NAO in 09-10 was just too overpowering for NYC to take a run at 95-96. Totals in that range were forced just our south that winter. The 95-96 winter is still the one type of snowfall extreme that the 2010's haven't been able to reproduce for us. I was thinking NYC may have had a shot a week or two before the 10-11 pattern ran out of gas. But that AO reversal was as harsh as we have ever seen after such an amazing 32 days of snow.

2010-11 had some missed opportunity in early Dec with a lot of cold air but no storms. Then the NAO block disappeared in late Jan not to reemerge until the 3/21 and 3/24 events, which were minor. Still managed 70" in Westchester.

Yes that winter was truely amazing,  I was living in Tarrytown at the time and I remember having almost a 3 foot snow depth in my backyard.  I believe I finished off the winter with about 75".  Definitely the best winter I have ever experienced.

Yes, it was my best winter in this area. I was living in Dobbs Ferry and measured 70". We missed out on the heaviest bands in Boxing Day but got crushed in the other two January events.

I had 25" in my front lawn after 1/27 and again after 2/2...close to 30" in the woods. Was up there with 13-14 for snowpack. Dobbs Ferry had 74" in 13-14.

We had SOOO many great winters in that stretch which makes it hard to distinguish them...

Monday looks to be a done deal at this time. Bring on spring. 

There is another threat on the 12z ECM at 150 hours. Deep trough in the East with energy rounding the base. Looks to slide just offshore but it could easily shift west.

I doubt we have seen our last snowfall with the major trough persisting in the East. Looks like a western ridge/eastern trough pattern for the next 2 weeks.
