March 7th 2018 Coastal Storm thread (not obs)

Can any of the more experienced guys, give me an unbiased opinion of whether you think this snow will accumulate on concrete? I know most March snows can have 8 inches on grass, and only 2 inches on concrete. I need to know whether I should schedule a plow to take care of all of my properties. Thanks in advance

Given the potential for heavy snow in this, it won't have any problem accumulating on concrete where it's coming down. Where are you located?

Newest 6z HRRR has widespread 9-12" amounts from the city east through central Suffolk (6" at Riverhead) through 7pm with decent snow still coming down. Looks to be getting colder each run.

Some of our locals are now saying there's a chance it never changes to rain except for the east end.

In the last HRRR run I can't see anything besides the surface for Nassau/western Suffolk which could cause rain/sleet, very bottom of the column is 33-34F. 850-925 layer has been cooling off the last few runs. Eastern Suffolk has warmer surface temps which could mess things up. What a change from this morning.

Any change in the track of the storm?  Late news mets were talking about a further east track to near the benchmark on PIX 11.

Well it still hasn’t happened yet. But it’s pretty much the opposite of what happened last year. As the event got closer it kept getting worse. I’m still worried about you and I being so close to the water. The last thing we want is for garden city to get 12” and we get 3”. Still a distinct possibility. Once we get into the ccb it’s should rip everywhere and that’s when we safely accumulate.

Never can shake that risk here for sure, but I'm thinking we might be OK even down here. The HRRR trend toward a further south 850/700 low has been pretty steady the last few runs along with better soundings, and the Euro run backs it up. It's snowing to beat the band outside now and sticking on cars/grass. The trend toward a nice CCB is also a great sign.

No, because that storm pushed north, this one looks to hit near ACY and pivot east. That also rakes east on the Island 

Expand  

So wait, if that happens, it would never mix or change anywhere on the island?  I think that's the classic track where the storm bends east around the latitude of ACY and heads for the benchmark.

The classic track is more of a hook from the outer banks to the BM. This is going to be a classic track after this storm, however 

The difference between these colder solutions and the warmer ones is that the lows are running into a brick wall and being forced eastward earlier. The earlier it goes east, the less warm air it can transfer northward and the less likely the dry slot comes into play

Worst mayor ever

I'm going to take the bus to work soon. I just hope they don't suspend buses and trains. 

My car sucks in the snow so I parked it on the left side of the street last night.

Even worse, some news outlets are still only predicting 4-7 inches for NYC at this hour.

IMO, Upton should have went with 10 to 15".
