NFT: Mar 14 Snow Storm

kelsto811 : 3/14/2023 7:40 am
Apparently we weren't getting away with at least one decent sized storm here in East Orange County. About 4-5 inches so far and still coming, very heavy snow. Apparently in Tannersville (Catskills) there was a whopping 26 inches of snow as of 1 hour ago.

What is everyone looking at on snow? Snow day? Driving to work anyway? I'm wfh today and I'll try to enjoy it with Day 2 of FA afoot.
Just rain here on the coast of CT  
UConn4523 : 3/14/2023 7:55 am : link
they said it may turn to snow tonight but temps don’t look to be below 36 at any point. Got a lot going on this week so I prefer the rain for once.
Enjoy your snow! We haven't had so much as an inch all year  
GiantBlue : 3/14/2023 8:04 am : link
here in Exeter Township, PA....Just East of Reading, PA.

I take the blame. I brought my snow blower to be tuned up...the works...last November....and it just sits in my garage still....a warrior without a war.

Sigh.
Same as Uconn  
pjcas18 : 3/14/2023 8:04 am : link
all rain here in my area of MA, but I'm just south of the rain snow line. People 5 miles away have a foot of snow.

I welcome the precipitation since we need it, but I too prefer rain at this point.

however, the forecast says between noon and one it will turn to snow and we could get 6 - 10 inches of snow, but I'm skeptical.
Light mix here in lower Westchester  
The_Boss : 3/14/2023 8:31 am : link
Forecast says turning to snow, and even if it does, it won’t stick as the ground is warm from the rain. Ice tonight might be an issue.
Nothing on LI  
OBJ_AllDay : 3/14/2023 8:31 am : link
so far
They call that heavy stuff ‘heart attack snow’  
Spider56 : 3/14/2023 8:47 am : link
Take care.
Im at my office in the Meadowlands  
Giants86 : 3/14/2023 8:48 am : link
No snow as of 845 AM
We have at least 15" + on the ground  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 3/14/2023 9:04 am : link
and projected for at least 12" more. Winds gust this afternoon up to 45 mph.

It’s F'ing March.

Leaving on Thursday for the Bahamas, so there is that.

Here is Palmer, Mass, it’s been coming down heavy since daybreak - but the weather app insists it’s been raining and will turn to snow in the afternoon lol. I mostly work from home so pretty much business as usual but my wife left before dawn to work outside Boston (she’s an area manager and works from home some days but had to be in the field today, unfortunately).
Just started here in NYC  
Jim in Forest Hills : 3/14/2023 9:27 am : link

How old are you Pepper? My college roommate is from Palmer and before I share his name wanted to see if you were anywhere near his age.

Normally I wouldn't even ask, but Palmer is a small-ish town.

I’m 60 - but I didn’t grow up here. I moved to Mass in mid-2020

Generator has been on since 5 AM. We are prepared for this kind of stuff. Just hate it in March.

I'm in central NJ and we haven't really gotten anything yet either. I blame the fact that I put in the orange reflective poles along my drive way in November. Last year I forgot to put them and and when it did snow, the ground was frozen. This year I put them in and we will probably never need to be plowed.
Several inches so far in CNY  
bigblue5611 : 3/14/2023 11:03 am : link
and still coming down pretty good.
Lousy Smarch weather  
Spiciest Memelord : 3/14/2023 11:26 am : link
it's a classic nor'easter meeting a classic sou'wester.
Changed to snow  
pjcas18 : 3/14/2023 11:30 am : link
in MA around 10:45 coming down heavy, like an inch to an inch and a half per hour.
Central NH/VT border  
VTChuck : 3/14/2023 12:10 pm : link
As of noon, about an inch of wet snow. No accumulation yet on paved surfaces. 34 F & wind is picking up. snowfall is quite light right now.

Once you get out of the CT River Valley they're reporting 6-12" and snowing heavily.

8 plus inches so far in Schenectady, and still falling. And it IS heavy! (Very wet packing snow). So far, my electric snowblower is working like a champ, but I have to hand shovel the Snow Plow piles (Ugh.)

I miss light fluffy snow. At least this is nothing like the 1993 storm...that really sucked!

The Blizzard of March 1993 March 12-14, 1993 (AKA, The March Superstorm) - ( New Window )
Is this going to get deeper into March every year?  
kelsto811 : 3/14/2023 12:36 pm : link
It's crazy to me, we literally had one tiny snowfall prior to today.
Just flurries in Babylon LI

it's all slush here in Ulster County -- 8 inches of soupy ice water

Sheesh. We are up near Mt. Monadnock. Well over 24", probably 36" by the time this is done. Plow guy is swapping out to bigger and bigger equipment.
Starting to really come down now...

I hear it's quite a mess in the HV where I usually am, but

I'm on a plane to San Francisco right now, left JFK this morning. Slight delay - not because of NY weather but because the weather is so bad in San Fran, lol.

There is a reason that the saying is "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb"....that is until the occasional April snow...

WMUR was saying the Keene / Peterborough area was going to get pounded. Good thing you have a plow guy. Even an inch of this stuff is like shoveling wet cement. Strangely, at 4:30 the pavement here is still clear and wet. Reports on 89 North and South of Lebanon are single lane and white-out conditions. Turning out to be an elevation event. Stay safe

yup, we are in Dublin at the top of the ridge, so ground zero.
it rained here and now it's all gone  
gidiefor : Mod : 3/14/2023 6:33 pm : link
the mass of ice water was gone when I walked the dog this evening. Only had water in a few spots, but the ground was very mushy. She was much happier.

Cousin up in York, ME got hammered. Well, in terms of snow too. When he was texting earlier, I think he was on his 9th G&T.
Just made the final measurement  
emcca005 : 3/14/2023 9:53 pm : link
32” in Indian Lake. Absolutely nowhere left to put it
wound  
pjcas18 : 3/15/2023 8:50 am : link
up with nothing like they predicted.

I did not even need to use my snow blower.

And it wasn't even one of those storms that I didn't need to use it but still did, I really couldn't even use it.

We did get a lot of rain which we needed but could still use even more precipitation.
All the snow that you missed was dumped on me!  
Milton : 3/15/2023 9:16 am : link
We got 22+ inches and two snow days (that's why I can write lengthy posts at 9:15 in the morning, aren't you lucky!).

You got lucky, got nailed in central Mass., I would say more than a foot. Also lost power for about 9 hours during the daytime (that sucks when that happens). All is good today, cleaned off my car, just waiting for the plow now.

Good for you, when I heard the forecast, figured that north of me was going to get really nailed.
