"When thunder roars go indoors" 1) thunder doesn't *roar* 2) if people need stupid phrases like this to be saved, maybe they're too stupid to be saved and don't bother? Use common sense, people. I'd replace it with *When thunder rumbles take a tumble* That's more accurate as far as what thunder actually sounds like. Plus, let them tumble..... This phrase is promoted by the National Weather Service, so most likely originated there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minus the Delmarva it makes sense using elevation and the late season. Obviously highly unlikely regardless below 2500’ south and 1500’ north. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJO812 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Another winter in the books. This winter was different than past winters with more cold air. Problem was suppression this time around. Who thought that was going to be an issue this past winter? Finished with 13 inches here. Another below average winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some models in late December suggested January at least would be on the dry side...not to mention the ongoing dry pattern since August. But yeah, frustrating winter in the snowfall dept. 18 inches here-final-snowier than the last few but still well below average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s pretty damn clear now we need a favorable Pacific to even be in the ball game for a snowy winter. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SACRUS Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Records: Highs: EWR: 85 (1945) NYC: 83 (1945) LGA: 82 (1945) JFK: 73 (2020) Lows: EWR: 15 (1949) NYC: 11 (1885) LGA: 19 (1949) JFK: 15 (1949) Historical: 1924 - A late winter storm in Oklahoma produced nearly a foot of snow at Oklahoma City and at Tulsa. (David Ludlum) 1948 - The city of Juneau received 31 inches of snow in 24 hours, a record for the Alaska capitol. (20th-21st) (David Ludlum) 1948: The city of Juneau received 31 inches of snow in 24 hours, a record for the Alaska Capitol. (20th - 21st) 1948: Also, on this day, an F3 tornado tracked through Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City, OK just before 10 pm destroying 54 aircraft, including 17 transport planes valued at $500,000 apiece. The total damage amounted to more than $10 million, a record for the state that stood until the massive tornado outbreak of 5/3/1999. Major Ernest W. Fawbush and Captain Robert C. Miller were ordered to see if operationally forecasting tornadoes were possible. The tornado prompted the first attempt at tornado forecasting. Forecasters at Tinker believed conditions were again favorable for tornadoes and issued the first recorded tornado forecast. Five days later, on 3/25 at 6 pm, a forecasted tornado occurred, crossing the prepared base, and the damage was minimized. The successful, albeit somewhat lucky forecast, paved the way for tornado forecasts to be issued by the U.S. Weather Bureau after a lengthy ban.

The storm produced up to twenty inches of snow in Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas, and left a thick coat of ice from eastern Kansas across northwestern Missouri into Iowa.

(Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1989 - Snow and high winds created blizzard conditions in western Kansas to usher in the official start of the spring season. Thunderstorms produced severe weather from east Texas to Alabama and northwest Florida, with nearly fifty reports of large hail and damaging winds during the afternoon and evening hours. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1990 - The northeastern U.S. was in the midst of a snowstorm as spring officially began at 4 19 PM. Snowfall totals in the Green Mountains of Vermont ranged up to thirty inches, and up to 15 inches of snow was reported in the Catskills and Adirondacks of eastern New York State. Totals in eastern Pennsylvania ranged up to 12 inches at Armenia Mountain. The storm resulted in one death, and forty-nine injuries.

I think the heavy banding on 3/21 was supposed to hit 50 miles north but got squashed south at the last minute. A toned down 4/1/97 type event here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
