MJO812 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 This is looking like a 1-2 feet snowstorm for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastonSN+ Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Sometimes sleet can be a good thing. Last years March storm have me a good amount of sleet in Coastal CT. Result was 9.5 inches of snow and sleet mixed. The sleet kept the snow pack linger due to density. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJwx85 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 28 degrees at EWR, 30 at NYC during the heaviest precip, massive snowstorm all the way to the coast. The only place you have to watch is East of the GSP in Central and SNJ where 925mb temps briefly go above freezing. These events can also have a sneaky warm tongue somewhere, but on paper this looks about as good as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravity Wave Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Heaviest snow on the Euro is after nightfall, which should help with accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro and Ukmet never showed the last 3 events with below 32 degrees at the surface. This time both models are and so is the GFS. I am still cautious, but this looks great for NYC as well.

triniiphone Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 since the first storm, ive been hearing "this one is going to be colder so its all snow" how did that turn out? lol ill believe it when i see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a HUGE difference between a temp profile that supports snow but still has surface temps above freezing and a temp profile that's below freezing to the surface. Should the globals' temp profile prove correct, we'd have no problem accumulating. It's just a matter of them vs. the NAM, which shows some issues.

Gravity Wave Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Thanks for the reassuring replies. This is my first winter in NYC; I grew up in Allentown and went to school in upstate NY so I'm not super familiar with local climo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking for myself, having grown up west of Baltimore, there are a ton more snow chances than I was used to growing up, but the heat island can definitely be frustrating in borderline setups. Looking forward to a storm that doesn't have temp issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to be more snow because it'll cover more area in my opinion if you take the Euro run verbatim. Dc to Boston 1-2 feet plenty of cold.

Blizzard-on-GFS Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I love how the NAM is the new midrange king. It’s literally sniffed out almost every storm this year before the other models. Kind of hilarious. Recent upgrades have been tremendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJwx85 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 January 4th was only great from the city East. This storm will impact everyone. If things come together perfectly, it could be a weaker version of January 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to a storm that doesn't have temp issues. Yeah, pre-2009-10 was dismal being in EPA. Few storms and the ones that did come up smacked the coast or the Poconos, leaving me fringed or raining. Between Jan. 1996 and Feb. 2010 I think KABE only had one double-digit snowfall (PDII; Feb. 2006 might have gotten there at the airport but not at my house). Things have definitely been more exciting recently. E: Sorry for the off-topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outperforming globals in the 48-84 hour range is quite astonishing considering the purpose of the model. Hell at this rate they could look to extend it and make a DGEX 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
