wdrag Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Started this so we can start looking ahead. Modeling has been pretty good on events 7-10 days in advance, just the ptype and latitude of max amounts had been uncertain. Heading into mud season for the countryside, do we see more piling on of the snow, as statistically suggested by Don's February daily posts. If so, can flooding eventually follow over the interior in the still weak (ening) Nina base state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 Have seen some of the modeling 5th-9th and it's suggestion of more snow in the I84 corridor. No thread this far in advance. Overall trend the first week of March should be milder than normal, especially 3rd onward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO812 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 JB thinks more snow is on the way moving forward with the MJO heading into the cold phases and the shortening of the wave lengths. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'll be surprised if we get nothing even with unfavorable tellies. Seems like the cold is still lurking up north too. Old GFS still persistent on that crazy early March arctic shot. How funny if our coldest temperatures of the winter came in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle W Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 1972 started March with a record high of 73 breaking the old rlr it was 10 degrees...72 the next day...63 the next but the temp dropped to 26 by midnight and 17 the next morning...add in a little snow and slippery roads with that...mid March saw two sleet storms...April saw record cold and a dusting of snow...March 1974 hit 70 around the 4th and 8th...a few days later it was 20 degrees...March 74 had a late season snowstorm...April had a morning with record cold and a half inch of snow...both months ended up below normal... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave0176 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 As much as I love snow and cold, I’m done this year, the warm season can’t come soon enough, hoping spring will be spring this year not 30s and 40s into April. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 Hi! Not yet starting a thread for March 3-6, but add this EPS snowfall by midnight Friday night, as a tease. IF the EPS can maintain this in its 12z/25 cycle, this and the GEFS continues gravitating to a pretty decent east coast trough next week, then would begin a thread. For now, resides in March. IF the EPS loses 2" of snow or more, then will forego. I am aware we have open ended uninteresting threads for most here in our forum, Feb 27 and Feb 28-29, so am cautious. This for me is a change in the EPS thinking in the 00z/25 cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossbowftw3 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I’ll tentatively guess that we’re probably done with events that give over 8” but I’ve seen March do weirder things. Would not be shocked for one more major snow and maybe 1-2 minor-moderate events before we are truly done with this winter. For now, I’ll enjoy this warmup, however relatively muted it is.

SnoSki14 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 There's a slight chance of something in the March 5-7 timeframe. Looks like a bit of a AO/NAO dip and PNA rise. EPS showing a pretty potent though transient eastern trough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EPS continues though not quite as much snow as previous. The NAO transitions seem to be associated with storminess. GGEM/GEPS are onto it. GEFS doesn't have much, yet. Waiting it out and to see also 2/27 and 2/28-3/1. Temps this time of year and per NAEFS suggest elevation dependent mainly NE&NW suburbs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Looks like the EPS begins the first week of March with an omega and east based blocking pattern. Has near to below average temperatures in the Northeast. Sometimes these shorter wavelengths in early March can surprise. So it may take the models time to work out the storm details.

wdrag Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 Good morning, Thanks much for the above. Not threading anything yet for March 3-8. I see potential the 3rd-4th, 6th-8th. Both significant... all contributing two what the CFS is trying to sell us, an above normal qpf month... CFS has ~6" by the end of March. Probably overdone but we're in the active axis. How it all goes down? Don't know but some of this will be snow/ice interior, especially first week of March. I still think we need to pay attention to March 1. GEFS is sharpening west of our longitude March 1. Sopfar not much response in rain/snow after 15z March 1, but I like the 06z/26 recent trend. I want to see the V16 grab this in the next couple of 26th cycles and start moving to more qpf Monday and some snow I84 corridor. Something will have to happen for the v16. Right now, the GGEM is drifting to a GFS op solution, quite a strong CFP Monday night. Still has opportunity to soften but am thinking all these models still aren't latching onto the most probable solution. Wishcast or reality? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Looks like we have a chance for the 5th year since 2014 that NYC drops below 20° during the first week of March. The real feel may be closer to 0° early Tuesday. Winds are forecast to gust in the 40-50 mph range with temperatures dropping under 20°. So it may feel colder than many days this winter.

SnoSki14 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Kudos to the Gfs for sniffing out the brief arctic shot. It could still back off but there's a lot of snow cover especially to our north that would help maintain the cold. Oddly enough the current forecast is much warmer than what models show. I see 22F Monday night and 41 Wednesday. No way it'll be that warm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian5671 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 If the MJO takes that route along with even some moderate blocking we'll likely see at least one more event. NYC needs less than 2 inches for 40. My area needs about 5 for 50. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
