MORE SPRING LIKE, EXCEPT MAYBE PART OF THE WEEKEND

Written by John DiPasquale:

Well, today is definitely beginning to feel more like late March, & Friday will actually feel more like the middle of April as highs get up well into the 50s, despite some rain showers, especially in the morning! 

Late Friday a cold front will swing through & stall out to the south & east of us later Friday night/Saturday morning, & act as railroad tracks for a developing area of low pressure to slide up along Saturday into Saturday night.  At this point, it looks like the bulk of the heavier precipitation will be off to the south & east, but we will probably pick up at least a little bit of snow/mix here late Saturday into Saturday night.  The way it looks now, we MAY see a minor accumulation of slushy snow, especially over the higher terrain Saturday night.  Stay tuned to News 8 for updates. 

Sunday will be brisk with maybe an early snow/rain shower, otherwise some sun should develop & highs will likely rebound into the low to mid 40s after being near 40 Saturday for a high. 

Early next week many signs are pointing toward a nice warm up, & possibly 60, if not Monday then Tuesday, which we haven't felt around here since December 5th!  We'll see...

Have a great one everyone!

  1. Yesterday's Atlantic Canada blizzard brought max snowfall of 12-18 inches to places like New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, along with peak gusts of 60-100 mph. So NBD by Snowdog standards :P

    The GGEM wants to keep things interesting regarding snowfall for Saturday's system. The UKMET does also. The GFS, not so much. I don't trust any snowfall potential this late in the season, so I'm hedging my bets on minor accumulations if that.

  2. Well CCCC keep your eye on next weekend and early the week after (5-8th) it could get REAL interesting again with a blast of cold coming again and a possible storm just saying.

    1. Who are you? What credentials do you have?

  3. You need to keep in mind that the person who was posting the comments about rats, dutch oven, etc. was not the "Real Snowdog". The "Real Snowdog" has been posting on this blog for many years, and would not use the type of language or comments that the troll does. Keep that in mind before you point any fingers or many any comments towards someone.

    1. Though Snowdog can be a little fuzzy on what constitutes a "Big Storm". I don't recall the "Real Snowdog" ever engaging in that kind of middle school "humor".
      He's a snow globe is half full (or less) type for sure. But he's not a child.

    2. You might want to look at one of his blog posts from from the beginning of March in which he postes that a troll has been posting about dutch ovens, rats, etc. Besides, I just pointing out that the "Real Snowdog" has stated repeated that those posts were not generated by him. You might want to read past posts before you make such a statement.

      The same as someone posting as Hamlin Power driving down the road at 55 mph plowing during the Blizzard on 3/12.

  4. Kevin Williams goes lone wolf and declares that Saturday's system "could be nasty." Apparently he's basing this strictly off the new RGEM and his in-house model.

    For the record, I was poking a little harmless fun at the Real Snowdog earlier, not his kink-obsessed troll counterpart.

  5. K-Dub still riding the bandwagon hard:

    5m "Midday data continues to arrive bolstering earlier concerns for ice and snow this weekend"

    50m "Conditions late tonight into Sunday morning will be minimally advisory level & could reach warning criteria, but so far nothing from NWS"

    13h "As new data continues to come in, methinks you will be hearing others chiming in about a nasty spell for part of the weekend..."

  6. From the NWS: More snow on the way.

    A STORM SYSTEM OVER KENTUCKY ON SATURDAY WILL MOVE TO THE NEW
    JERSEY COAST BY LATE SATURDAY NIGHT...THEN WILL INTENSIFY AS IT
    PUSHES UP THE COAST OF NEW ENGLAND SUNDAY. THE STORM IS EXPECTED
    TO PRODUCE ACCUMULATING SNOW ACROSS THE REGION IN THE
    PROCESS...WITH THE BULK OF THE SNOW COMING SATURDAY NIGHT.
    SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW IS LIKELY...BUT IT IS NOT OUT OF THE
    QUESTION THAT SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS COULD TAKE PLACE. AT THIS
    TIME...IT APPEARS THE GREATEST RISK OF SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS
    WILL BE ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE SOUTHERN TIER...WESTERN
    AND NORTHERN FINGER LAKES...AND EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO.

  7. So for Rochester and north of 104; what does it mean.

  8. I'm beginning to see a pattern here; we have 50+ degree weather, and next day cold and snow. Obviously winter is still holding on and not done with us yet, and it might be some time before it is.
