March 2nd Nor'easter Update

Hey clan -

Here is a quick blog on Friday's storm. A snow impact map is found at the end. I will have a 1st call snow map released either tonight or tomorrow. Leaning toward tonight.

Feel free to ask questions

Best,

Thanks Frank. Just that one little spot of no snow?

Officially Storm Mode!! Love it. Its been awhile

Now it's a party!

18z nam at hour 24 is 100 miles s/e and 3 mb weaker with the primary. the n/a block looks stronger.

NAM is god awful. Very weak

18z NAM

However, snow is crashing to the coast

This could crush down to the coast if that heavy precip comes with it

Dynamics are insane with this system. I love rain to snow events. Snow comes down in the size of golf balls. It will accumulate very quickly. N&W of NYC is in for some event...IMO.

Nam does good for a some of us.

WOW!! at the 18z NAM

Frank, any thoughts on accumulation issues with warm surface and March daylight? Or do you think the snow will be heavy enough to overcome any of those issues? I think in areas where it changes by around daybreak it should accumulate quickly, but areas with a later changeover it could take awhile initially to start sticking.

HR 51 MADONNNEEEEEEEEE!!!

bill this is a very challenging forecast. I would say if it comes down heavy enough it will accumulate and melt as rates lessen. the conservancy will def blow this one.lol

That was exactly what we wanted at the time you posted this...two seperate energy that phases AFTER is reaches the coast then stalls because of the block...text book
