March 9: Little Critter that could part 2.


Sey-Mour Snow
 Share

Recommended Posts

Models continuing to show a swath of snow from the Pike south through CT RI and SE Mass with good banding signals showing up. Will add some images soon. With marginal temps and snow mostly falling during daylight hours, would think minimal accumulations on the roads with the exception of any snow falling heavy enough before the sun gets too high tomorrow AM in southern areas. However 1-3/2-4” snow on cold surfaces possible.

This is the definition  of a Morch stat pad event … couldn’t be drawn up better. Snows all day , accumulates and is completely torched away by 2:00 PM the following day. Anyone that prefers these in spring over a Nov or December event is just nuts. 

Who says they prefer them? March snows (especially first half) are easier to do in many areas compared to December. Sure we prefer in December, but climo doesn’t care what we prefer.

So correct. If this was November it’d torch away too. December is really nice, but in the end we take what we can get…as you said, the weather doesn’t give a shit what we like.

Hi nobody prefers them but anyone who doesn't like even a day of snow who is a snow lover has to reassess

Might be some 4-6” amounts with elevation 

Your pushing.. But its readable where you are or up in the hills near me and west if me. I think we could see some 5" amounts, but mostly on the grass ( the pavement might get an inch or 2 of slush, especially when it comes down harder

November sun angle is low. We are now at early Sept sun angle . Torched. Look at the Oct snow. That stuff lasted a week OTG. Mic dropped 

March snow lasts longer than November snow since November is a warmer month...and it's not close either. March is like 5-6 degrees colder than November on average. You might hate the sun angle in March but November is a furnace compared to March.

Storrs March and Nov days with 2 inches OTG

Do not agree . How many snow events are followed by a few days of cool to cold wx. Otherwise we wouldn’t have white Tgivings. Even a day in low 40’s in Nov it would last longer than Morch with low 40’s

Could be a nice event from near winter wolf to elevated western RI? Obviously depends on trends.

Tomorrow very much will be rate dependent probably outside of 600’ or so. It’s probably going to be a lot of 33F snow and then wet bulb to near 32 later in the day or within the heavier rates. 

Hopefully heaviest is around 5 when the sun is low

Kevin means the sun angle argument. But yeah overall it’s a warmer month. But it has a tenacity to linger with it basically being solar winter. But honestly the argument should be more for December and not November.

Thanks for keeping it real.  
 

I get the whole lower light deal, and I do like that also in December, But March is a much more wintry month overall than either November and also December.  
 

It’s like Denver around here in March…it snows then it melts away quick.

Most snow occurs in late Dec at solar min, Early March snow lasts longer than late March obviously but March snows the first week can have staying power if followed by cold which we have seen many times. At any rate any snow is good in my book. He had a woodie  over April snows and was even on NBC 30
