Whether anything sticks anywhere is another story. with the wind blowing it's actually making it look quite wintry....until you look at the ground lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Models hit your area fairly well and they seem to be verifying. That's why I always relied on you and Robbbs to cut through all the BS, and tell me what's gunna happen my way. As you guys understand, it's a whole different world here. I can't forecast. I'm just an obs guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Althought here it is accumulating on tree branches and power lines since its coming down pretty hard currently. Nice to see daytime snow in mid march atleast. Nothing but white rain here in Astoria. Snow instantly melted no matter what surface it touched, trees, cars, grass, sidewalks, pavement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 With New York City likely to see less than 1" of snow today, the ongoing record without a 1" or greater daily snowfall will reach 394 days. The old record was 383 days (March 4, 1997 through March 21, 1998). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colder than I thought we’d get 33 here but even that's not good enough with moderate to heavy snow coming down. I knew any model run showing an inch of snow for this area would be wrong because it's not accounting for the mid March sun angle. This borderline situation would have worked at night for a couple inches here. Or during the daytime a bomb of a storm in the perfect spot like a couple of those NAM runs showed the other day. That would have worked for a lot more, lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty common for them to get accumulating snow into early April so I wouldn’t be surprised. Last year they got 3” on April 19th 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been snowing all day with the sun clearly peeking through the clouds, and not a flake is sticking anywhere. Close the books on this winter already. My son had a delayed opening with the state, I told him, there will come a day ( and I've had them ) where the weather will be clearly dangerous and no one will let you leave early because someone up the chain isn't paying attention or doesn't care. This happened to me in Dec 2003. An actual big snowstorm, poorly modeled in CNJ, and the school super out of town, whilst administrators chased us through the halls threatening anyone who was able to leave early because they had no classes or were non teaching staff. A week later we got hit again and do you think they had learned? Nope. An icy situation left the parking lots a skating rink and lots of injuries. But hey, today there is an emergency....I told him be thankful for the delayed opening and extra sleep. And of course, there was the milquetoast warnings about Ida last year, resulting in tragedies. My wife was stuck on 287 most of the night due to flooding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWS uses HPN for our area and I'm fairly certain The Weather Channel likely uses NWS observations. NJW, you are probably right but I can tell you that they do update it often as I just clicked on it and the temp was updated 5 minutes ago,,,,,ps I need a new weather station as mine ran into some technical difficulties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also had a weirdly snowy March, even if it didn't work out for a lot of us, but that one did. 2003 I remember starting in the daytime. It was heavy wet flakes and came down fast. Paste job. Lasted a day or so too. Was also a big winter that year, which is when we tend to get April events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayyy Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Albany area getting crushed. They will be at average snowfall after this storm. It varies greatly in that area. My friends in Schenectady only got 8” while some other areas easily saw over a foot. Shadow effect is real up there. Elevated Places SW of Albany and east of Albany tends to cause sinking air in the valley . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It developed so let’s see if maybe just maybe we can put down a couple inches on the grass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 33/32/SN+ Over the last half hour or so it really ramped up but it's not really accumulating. Snow on snow it is accumulating well now but on anything that was already cleared it's more like heavy, grey water with a whitish surface than snow. I guess it's nice to look at so, there's that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
