SnowGoose69 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 That was a crazy change from the NAM and you have to toss it for the moment. The Euro has had a SE bias with the last few events so the NWS may be playing into that idea somewhat because even the ensembles would only argue for around 6 inches. The totals they have look somewhat high but the NAM for now I think is a toss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbear5 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 One last observation is that the timing of the heaviest precip has shifted towards the latter part of the day, as opposed to really getting going early on or midday... now looks like a late day and Wednesday evening timing for the heaviest precip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Here’s the link to resource used to tabulate list: http://w2.weather.gov/climate/xmacis.php?wfo=okx I posted this yesterday. Of course there are many March snowstorms greater than the ones I listed below and you listed them above. This was just the 8 biggest after the spring equinox. I think that's why some were confused. There are only eight snowfalls of 6 inches or greater after the spring equinox in New York City. Also interesting to note here there have been 30 snowfalls 6 inches or greater in the month of March in New York City but only one between March 22 and March 31 but seven from April 1 through April 13. Just a curious weird anomaly. If it does happen on Wednesday it is more or less a one in twenty-year occurrence to happen in spring in New York City. 6 inch Spring Snowfalls in NYC 1.....10.2.....April 3-4, 1915 2.....10.0.....April 13, 1875 3.......9.6.....April 6, 1982 4.......9.0.....March 22, 1967 5.......8.5.....April 1, 1924 6.......6.5.....April 5, 1944 7.......6.5.....April 8-9, 1917 8.......6.4.....April 6-7, 1938 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doncat Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Just seems that nws 12-18" forecast is very questionable regardless of which model you use or which run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems a little high IMO, at least for right now. Mt.Holly went a little less here, 8-14" which I think is more reasonable. I also don't think we should be so quick to toss the 06z NAM but it was a pretty wild swing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely it over corrected SE. Considering non of the 6z guidance agrees with it but we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everything went perfectly NYC would seriously struggle to see 8". There's a reason why 12" storms haven't happened this time of the year.
