Winter's Finale: March 20th-21st Snowstorm

What happened to all the sleet? Totally confused Is it only the Nam that showed all the sleet?

6 inch Spring Snowfalls in NYC

1.....10.2.....April 3-4, 1915
2.....10.0.....April 13, 1875
3.......9.6.....April 6, 1982
4.......9.0.....March 22, 1967
5.......8.5.....April 1, 1924
6.......6.5.....April 5, 1944
7.......6.5.....April 8-9, 1917
8.......6.4.....April 6-7, 1938

Looks like the above is definitely in Play for NYC, maybe number 1? Now I'm reaching to far. Lets get the 3 inches first and get them over 30 for the 5th straight year.

Yup. 30 miles north of you gets 2-3 inches on 3k.

I'd say somewhere between central Rockland to northern Dutchess will be in a serious cutoff zone. The question is where will that line be?

Im about 58 miles south of Dutchess.....according to the 3K im in a prime spot, last 3 storms shafted me with two blanks even. I'd like to see 12 plus this go round along with Jman.

RGEM...still snowing heavily too

Lots of chatter on Twitter right now regarding how dangerous and distructive this storm might be (even @cranky seems alerted finally), with inches of sleet, centimeters of ice underneath 6 inches or so of heavy wet snow. Could be a doozy.

Incidentally, my best friend is going thru a tornado right now down in ATL. March does NOT f*ck around.

yeah may be worst cause for power outages out of all the storms we have had.

GFS is west of 18z, good hit

Huge hit actually for Jersey Shore, NYC Metro, and LI. 12"+ and should be mostly all snow

Gfs huge hit NYC southern wc and western long is jackpot 12 to 18.

So who thinks there will be school wed and Thurs? For NYC area?

Yeah, it's nice to have the GFS finally on board with the cold unlike previous storms this month where it was very warm

And that's the GFS how good has this model been of late?

00z UKIE just (N)UKIE'D us.

I’m 18” jackpot on GFS, RGEM, 3kNAM, but on regular NAM 4-6” and tons of sleet. If EURO shows me tons of snow that’s 4 v 1. Toss the regular NAM. Oh I’m also 18-24” jackpot on the RAP.

6z NAM no consistency... like night and day, at least for those North and West...

Wow upton being bullish. Warning now for me in Nassau on LI

* WHAT...Heavy mixed winter precipitation transitioning to heavy
snow is expected. Total snow accumulations of 11 to 15 inches
and light ice accumulations are expected

This is what Upton has for me.

* WHAT...HEAVY MIXED WINTER PRECIPITATION TRANSITIONING TO HEAVY
SNOW IS EXPECTED. TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 7 TO 10 INCHES,
WITH LOCALIZED AMOUNTS UP TO 13 INCHES, AND LIGHT ICE
ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED.

The weather channel has me for 13 - 20”

NWS has Orange County for 10-16 inches but I'm not buying it 100% yet.

The 6Z NAM has me concerned as do other runs that seem to hit a brick wall with the precip at certain points north and west. Nowcast as usual.
