March DISCO/OBS: Please End It

[Damage In Tolland]

You could take one look yesterday and see it was over and we end and go snowless. Has a 2012 Morch look

You were saying you had 5 foot banks on your driveway, isn't that good? PF doesn't get 2-foot snowstorms, he nickels and dimes his way to 10 feet.

No....not when the season has 50% of average. It was an awful season with a decent month of February.

Yeah, Northampton was pretty snow bound a week ago.  Glacial mounds everywhere.  
Today began the melt, but Greenfield is still full on water rich snowpack. 

I had two-low end warning events all season, but they both just so happened to come in relatively close proximity to one another during a cold few weeks. That is the reason its a D  instead of an F.

You utilize the March 2012 analog about as much as JB does March 1993.

March, 2012 was an off the charts torch a rama. The NYC metro hit 90 degrees a couple of days after St. Patrick’s Day that year

Its silly....its like using July 1995 everytime it looks hot or Feb 2015 whenever the pattern looks snowy in SNE...although I think it this point, everyone knows better than to do the latter.

The cold and snow cover most of the winter I give it a C. At least it looked and felt like winter. I understand not getting a decent storm makes it suck but it wasn't a ratter, hey we could score a big one in March and change all our minds, a little.

Unnecessary heating costs is how I see it. A lot of dry nw wind whipped 28F days to keep an inch around just doesn’t tickle me. 

[CoastalWx]

It is not 2012 lol

[CoastalWx]

So it likely will be four years at least until I get a 6 inch event. Unreal.

You can probably eliminate that magnitude of positive monthly anomaly just based off of how the first third of the month looks:

Why do you say that?

My early hedge is to expect a lot of them next year.

January 2022 was probably the last time we had a ideal storm track for the coast

The precision with which the atmosphere has avoided warning criteria snows in SNE the past few years has been comical.

I'd be careful about slipping into the defeatist "whoa is me" meterorological stupor type of trap.....things are changing on a multidecadal scale. As far as the "CC will not allow for any more coastal track seasons" philosophy goes.....my only response is to wait and see because nothing anyone says will change your mind.

May we pray end of euro is right. That would be quite warm.

That's a whiplash.    24 hours to take the hydrostatic height from 516 dm to 546 ... and there's no stopping them from rising probably to 560 over the next 12.

That's like going from 32 to 72 in 2 days.

I might be willing to sell that 5th cutter... stand by on that

oh wait - that actually looks clean ... nevermind

50% of average isn't respectable IMHO. It blew big fat ones.

Below 50% for me...3rd year in a row.

When it’s evident you call for it. Like a snowy winter forecast for example

I’m sure there are several on this forum that can help make that happen sooner

Its evident that that won't be the case, though.

Not every warm spell in March is 2012

Yes. Doesn't mean the month will be cold any snowy, but not that magnitude of warmth in the monthly mean...very well maybe above average, though.

Insane

I was lucky to get 8 inches from the  storm in Feb 2024 from a strong band.
