NFT: Major Thursday Snowstorm?

Bockman : 3/3/2015 11:17 am
I better not hear any complaining about heat in the middle of July from any of you corksoakers. I'm sick of winter and snow and its looking like another storm is coming through tomorrow night into Thursday.

This one though is all over the map. Weather Channel has 1-3". Weather Underground is 5-8. Various Facebook sources I follow are now saying it could be a massive storm up to a foot.

Which one is real? Should I be planning on running grandma over in Stop N Shop for bread and milk? Or can I safely start polishing my golf clubs?

it's not a large storm in size but the areas hit will see substantial accumulations in the 4-8" range with locally higher totals dependent on mesoscale banding. LI, north NJ, southern New England look to see those peak totals Wednesday night into Thursday.

This is separate from the snowfall this afternoon, which will change overnight to mix and then rain, with rain ending during the day on Wednesday.


Weatherman, will NYC commuters back to Jersey be OK Wednesday to get home or should they be getting the F out of Dodge?

Coastal CT here. Sweet. Time to stock up the booze...


Bockman, which course/s do you typically take those golf clubs out to? Curious to know as I live in the area and all I can think about is the day this white, crusty, frozen shit evaporates from the ground clearing the way to get out and tee it up.

I joined Racebrook late last year. Before that I played most of the public courses in the area, like Oak Hills, Grassy Hill, Great River, Traditions, etc.

Weatherman always has the goods here, but agreed, most of the guys on TV are lackluster. My understanding though is that this winter (for whatever reason) has been notoriously hard to predict (not much model agreement maybe?)

This clown happens to be right most of the time and can actually coherently explain weather systems.

You, the kind of ass clown you are, can't even break down how horrible the Thomas Vanek deal was.

Kinda like you and the other BBI Islander fans who raise the 5th flag everytime the Isles make a trade (Ryan Smyth/Thomas Vanek) or win a pre-season game?

Except he actually IS right.
Apparently your lack of reading comprehension extends far beyond hockey.

You could always just, you know.. not read them.

But I know you have a massive inferiority complex when it comes to the Rangers, so.. I realize that's not an option for you.

which included a number of people from Boston. The theme seemed to be that if they get one more really lousy winter in a row, they will relocate even with a major pay cut. They are just really beat up by this mess.


Meanwhile Weatherman, is there the potential for really severe floods in parts of NE as this stuff melts? Which parts? Thx.

I live in Southern Mass and we have had it with this shit, Second coldest Feb ever in Mass, and over 100 inches in Feb, and it was 5 degree's today.

I really hope you are wrong weatherman, we could really use a break up hear, just had 6 inches Monday.
manh, potential yes  
WeatherMan : 3/4/2015 12:19 am : link
where and when TBD. An early heat wave combined with a major rain event would be potentially disastrous. As much as folks don't want to hear this, a slow, gradual melt is the best thing that could happen to the region.

GfiM - if SW MA you'll miss it, SE MA and you'll get the edge of the system, not max accumulations, but enough to plow for sure the closer to the SE coast of MA you get.

Weatherman....why do you feel that way on wx risk? He's been right as long as I've followed and he does a real good job of explaining the science and technical aspect to the layman. I can't think of a more accurate educational place for weather.

ColHowPepper : 3/4/2015 5:47 pm : link
I much doubt it; some of the biggest accumulation snows have come in March as winter is sorting her way out. Probably before your time, but 1977 (I think it was) we had a 19" storm in mid-January and then the lollapalooza 23" in early to mid-March. These were Manhattan and NYC Metro area measurements.

After this weekend, my sense, my hope, is that we'll have seen the worst of the near- and sub-zero cold, as we're getting close to the equinox. But snows, I'd be willing to bet we'll have another two or three after tonight. fwiw, which ain't much.

Headhunter : 3/4/2015 6:36 pm : link
The first storm was January 20 1978. I know that for a fact because my oldest picked that day to be born.
I hope she made it CHP  
WeatherMan : 3/4/2015 7:48 pm : link
no reason to think it would've been anything otherwise, snow doesn't start again until late tonight.

Spike - 4-6", and I doubt it's the end.

Hudson - he's a wiggle watching sensationalist with no verification and a disturbingly poor understanding of ensemble modeling. Had Sandy making landfall in Chesapeake Bay for crying out loud. Bookmark the site of your local National Weather Service office, they are the ones who issue the actual watch and warning material for your area.
HH, WM  
ColHowPepper : 3/5/2015 10:24 am : link
HH, who you calling cow? And I was thinking about this last night after dropping the wife off at JFK, and of course, you are right, it was 1978 not 1977, and a great omen for your oldest, blessings of blessings on him/her. I remember the period keenly, was insanely busy at work and school, went off with the girlfriend (man I was in love withher ass at the time) to Guadeloupe, and came back to that storm's craziness--NYC does not see that kind of accumulation very often. Then, BOOM, two months later, an even bigger one.

WM, yes, thank you and the heavens. Delta actually got them out of the gate early, waited in the fog, and off they went, thank you Lord she's landed safely and probably with the kid right now.

I came back to this thread after posting on today's regarding this storm: the accumulation reports way understate what we're getting here.
