Expand Don/Folks, The prior run's March 13-20 had had the strongest cold signal for the E US for any week in March of 2023 yet. And now this one that you just posted has a significantly stronger cold signal than that one. In addition, the subsequent week (March 20-27) on this new run has a much stronger cold signal than the prior run had for that week and about as strong a signal as the prior run's March 13-20. So, this is an impressively strong cold signal for the E US overall on the latest Euro weeklies for 3/13-27! The major SSW and the upcoming new very notable weakening are doing their thing apparently! This new strat weakening is projected to bring 60N 10 mb winds all the way to near -17 m/s on Feb 28th! The major SSW, though quite impressive in its own right, brought those winds down only to -13 m/s (on Feb 18th). *Edited to clarify that I'm talking about strongest cold signal for any week in March of 2023 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still I would take CMC for the entire period. Better than what we have seen. Expand Yes this is much more so a N of NYC storm so not optimistic about this area.

Would be nice to see the ground covered again! Expand 2001-02 still ranks higher to me than 2011-12 does because 2011-12 had the October snowstorm at least, which was historic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nina winters in general work out just fine for most of New England and are on balance probably better than El Niño especially stronger Ninos because SWFE events which Nina’s send trains of work out way better there. 07-08 was a great New England winter but totally sucked in NYC for that reason. At this point I couldn’t care less about 1-3” to rain that washes it away 2 hours later. If that’s what we get I’d be annoyed if anything since we wouldn’t get the #1 least snowy winter spot. I’d be at least rooting on some kind of record to end this utter disaster. Expand Yes the only good thing about 07-08 here was the February 22nd storm.

Not sure what the trend over time with those has been but I've never seen a good outcome here where we have a low in the 980s headed NW of Buffalo. We want that low to be dying off way sooner than that. You also have to look at the individual members for snow to see if a few crazy members are throwing the mean off.

My guess is they end up between 25-30" but you're right that it's relatively easy for you guys to go on a crazy few week run. On their way there hopefully we peasants down here can be granted a day or two with enough snow to cover the grass, that will stay for more than the hour long intervals we've had a coating so far. I'll be more than happy to settle with that. And then hopefully not shiver in months of backdoor fronts like we suffered the last two springs. Expand last two springs have been warm and dry though. we're not really peasants, at least we're not DC and Baltimore and Philly although our climate is much more like them than it is like Boston.

Not sure why people always want to compare NYC to Boston. Expand As you go further east on LI, the climate becomes more New England like. NYC is a transition spot between Mid Atlantic and New England-like climates. NYC can be slammed with just about every winter storm type but totally screwed at the same time, and almost always ends up near the gradient. The upcoming Tue storm SWFE to Miller B is the type that just about always will clobber Boston unless there's a major shift in its evolution. We don't have a winter storm type here that will always clobber us-we always sweat until the very end. But this one is clearly trending the wrong way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand If it wasn't this winter I would be excited for that potential. That being said that's a strong signal this far out with a lot of favorable elements in place.

jm1220 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 What we do get on Mon night/Tue will probably be in and out in 8 hours since the primary low will drive the dry slot in before the coastal can take over-on all the modeling at this point unless you're well into CT or way upstate. And on the GFS at least for my immediate area on the north shore it shows a close shave between very cold rain, sleet and even snow if the heavy precip can cool the column down on the soundings. Based on that it's possible that much of Suffolk gets a ton of sleet from this and can avoid a washout. In the city the soundings look a little milder. But my bet is still that anyone near the coast gets quick sleet to rain, and a ton of sleet north of the city to near I-84. Saturday looks interesting for wintry/mood snow but doesn't look like more than the few coatings to half inch we've gotten this "winter". I guess it'll be nice for the few hours it's around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand If you are trying to imply it’s too late, that’s nonsense. Hell, I would argue that March is quite a bit more favorable for big snows than December. It’s really only the last week of March that is really unfavorable, where as December it’s really only the last week that’s favorable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 UKMET hasn't looked terrible for Mon PM/Tue for second run now and it's the furthest south with the evolution but wouldn't jump on it until another reliable model heads that way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post 3/15 becomes very difficult to sustain cold and snow at this latitude minus freak, anomalous events. Climo, sun angle and length of day are all working against you big time by then. By the end of March, you have an August sun overhead 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
