The consensus of the guidance favors considerable time near lower amplitudes. Until the EPS does better, it makes sense to lean toward the consensus. Finally, the post-split polar vortex is very strong. That will favor a general continuation of AO+ conditions. There are signs of a positive pna on the euro ,gfs, gefs and eps near the 25th and beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shows you right there be careful with snow maps. It's rain NYC and Long Island it's not "odd" the boundary layer warms right up with East winds. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll make sure to post lots of pics of NYC snow tonight. Dews rule again. And do I need to remind everyone this is a weather forum? There is a ridiculous amount of banter in here today. We get it, you do not like snow. So post about it in banter. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinRP37 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Those expecting March to bring us back to normal snowfall need to temper the expectations. Most of the biggest snowfall Marches would still fail to get us to normal unless this week can over achieve. Looking at the data and the snowfall year to date, I would give this season over a 75% chance at finishing below average for snowfall. That doesn't mean it is impossible to get to or go above average, but it just isn't statistically likely. If you want to see lots of snow this season, book your trips up to Killington, Stowe, Whiteface, etc. You can be upset with the lack of snowfall in NYC metro, but this season, if you have not seen the snow you want, that is on you. A day trip north can definitely let you enjoy winter and lots of it. I would have been skiing a lot more than I have this year, but it is much harder to travel with a 5-month old. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 This looks to be a solid 2-5” just north of the city, perhaps a touch more for those of us in Uptons northern zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking NYC, EWR, and PHL will probably finish with 15”-25” seasonal snowfall. The neutral-warm ENSO conditions that have persisted for the last five weeks have largely capped the potential. In some ways, 2018-2019 may wind up having been a “near miss” from a 2001-02 type of winter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGoose69 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Well maybe the Euro is right where we want it for Wednesday. Has axis of heaviest snow south of us but has slowly been coming north. Maybe we can angle that think right across the area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do have to look at recent history and March has been the snowiest month in NYC in 3 of the last 4 winters. Of course that doesn't mean this March will produce and with 8.7 inches right now in Central Park, it would have to be a heck of a March to get to the 29 year average (Jan 1991- Jan 2019) which currently stands at 30.7 inches per season. However I could see this March being the snowiest of the season for the 4th time in 5 years. The bar is pretty low, it only has to beat the 6.4 inches from November.

NEG NAO Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I started a new thread for the mid-week event as the 12Z Euro is showing a good chance of at least advisory level snow/ice possible throughout the region 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be more SNPL at times but I think most of this event is ultimately frozen for northern sides of the metro because after 09Z we will likely dry slot and it ends. The onshore flow is just weak sauce. It’s too light and not established over a long fetch. If places like EWR/LGA/NYC get much over 33-34 after they wet bulb down I would be surprised. I’m more confident the mid levels sneak over 0C near 700 causing SNPL after 06Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice onshore flow currently on the south shore, which is my reasoning for low expectation right at the coast. This is a 20 miles inland event.

This is a 20 miles inland event. Winds start backing though over the next several hours to more E. Even with a S-SE wind now everyone has underachieved on highs. The problem with this event is best QPF is north and a warm nose in the mid levels will work in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
