Sunday, March 1

A MESSY SITUATION MIDWEEK

March didn't come in like a lion but also not like a lamb either with light snow that fell across much of the area.

A much stronger low pressure system developing right now over the southern Rockies will race northeast through the Midwest and then reach the Great Lakes and Northeast by Tuesday afternoon.

A developing warm front ahead of the storm will spread widespread snow into western New York by Tuesday afternoon. A few inches of slushy accumulation could occur with this initial burst of snow. Mild air will then surge in from the south as the warm front lifts north through the region with snow transitioning to a nasty mix of sleet and freezing rain. Cold air trapped near the surface could allow for a few hours of freezing rain and this could create some very slick travel for a brief time Tuesday evening. As temperatures continue to rise, all precipitation should then transition to rain overnight Tuesday into early Wednesday morning.



Don't get used to the milder air because temperatures will plunge again by the second half of the week with highs by Thursday struggling to climb out of the teens.

  1. Mostly rain tomorrow with this event. RC a burst of snow tomorrow afternoon maybe an inch or two then quick change to rain with the warm air on a south wind.

  2. Mostly rain means NBD folks! Enjoy the snow melt!

  3. The good news is the bulk of the precip will come when it's a mix or snow. According to the NWS maybe 1/4" will come as rain or mix and regardless no flooding since the snowpack will easily absorb any liquid precip. The snowpack isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

  4. For those concern about flooding, but it is important for ALL to keep in mind the snow pack which currently exists. If you have several (4+) feet of snow (if you don't, where do you live then), it will not melt with the rain or mix that we are expecting. Besides the cold weather will not be going anywhere soon. So for those who are expecting Spring to be right around the corner, it is not. Spring will be late in arriving, as it is March and temperatures will continue to fluctuate. February was the coldest and snowiest in a VERY long time. For those who love the cold and snow -- you must be a little depressed to see February go. Wonder how JN feels about it, as that level of excitement over the past several weeks he displayed giving the weather report, may not be there; the guy might need therapy.

  5. Hope weather people are right about no significant ice .I remember April 2008 and no one had a lot of ice predicted and low and behold it never switched to rain and we got hit pretty hard. I am not rooting for it and think the mets are right but you never know.

  6. Long range model friends:

    Any ideas how long it will be for the temps to actually change to spring temps? And stay that way?

    1. Don't count on it anytime soon. Cold will be with us for a while. Look towards the end of March before you begin to see a steady warm up. Remember even with a few days here and there of 20-30 degree weather, it will not begin to melt the snow pack. That will take some time.

    2. I'm not budging on March 10th for winter's demise, save for the usual rogue snowstorm possibility. Nothing has changed in that regard for about a week. But as I've said before, I don't anticipate a headfirst dive into May flowers.

    4. CCCC: why are you saying March 10th? Just curious. I'm the original anon. poster 12:11

      Delete
    5. I think 2 pair of C's mentioned the Western ridge breaking down around then. If I'm looking at the MJO forecast correctly it would back that up. With a peak temp spike around the 14th or 15th of the month. Not talking about grass growing warmth but warm enough to give you spring fever. That's assuming I'm looking at it right and it actually happens.

      Delete
    6. Snowdog you are an absolute moron! May or June?! LMAO

      To the original poster who asked: Climatology reports are now showing March, April, and May to all be warmer than average in the north east, with March not trending till mid-month as CCCC has stated. To me it looks like early to mid april is when we will see consistent mild temps (50's) across the board, with a MUCH warmer rise towards late April

    7. I would say you're looking at it right Caledonia. Also lol @ anon trying to predict April and May.

  7. More ticks towards the cold corner for tomorrow on the models. The latest GGEM run would actually keep us mostly frozen, with maybe a very brief period of light rain. I'll be the first to laugh in Sgt Enbeedee's face if this trend continues.

  13. a tenth of an inch of ice is worse than 6" of snow for travel, and any extra weight onto untreated structures (such as your roof) at this point is not a good thing.

  14. So I guess it's either zero impact or the end of existence, with no possibility of an in-between option. Also it seems that whenever I talk about colder trends and winter weather advisories it really means I'm sounding the bread and milk alarm. No, it's still not that big of a deal, but as a few others have mentioned even a small amount of ice on the roadways is nothing to scoff at. Even a little wet snow can create slippery travel conditions. It's a small-sized deal with extra mayo.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Looks like WWA updated with less snow but more ice. Up to 1/4" ice later today and tonight. IF that happens it would def not be NBD. A tenth is not much to worry about, a quarter is much more IMO.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Our weather people do not seem worried about this afternoon and tonight. I just worry about these set-ups sometimes. I remember April 2008 and that was not predicted to be a lot of ice if I remember correctly.

    1. They are not worried bc this is NBD at all. It's just a few people here hyping it up to something to get a rise out of others. NBD at all

  17. How about a little perspective. If you take mostly main roads then this will most likely be "NBD" because (for the most part) the road crews do an amazing job when we have freezing rain AND the salt will work well unlike when we had 2 inches of snow followed by negatives which made the best kept roads icy. With that said, if your tires are starting to get old and you are on side streets or need to try to walk somewhere it will be a big deal. I don't think the local mets are that concerned because it's a fast moving system and the icy part will be happening when less people are out. That's just my opinion though.

    1. Well said, NBD is correct! And I agree we do have amazing road crews who will make this not a problem at all. Rest easy!

  23. Have some people forgotten where we live? Calling for an outright end to any snowstorm chances...in March...in a place whose largest snowstorms frequently occur in March. Not very wise IMO. I've said this a thousand times already: our snowstorm chances are not dropping to zero even with the sustained wintry pattern ending fairly soon. Speaking of which, the big change may occur more towards the 11th or 12th as opposed to the 10th. Fairly minor shift, just an extra day or two.

    Light snow falling right now, already has some wetness to it so I expect some rather slick travel conditions for the evening commute. Hopefully no one expects perfectly clear roads from seeing "NBD" spammed everywhere. I think at some point I'm going to learn how to draw manga art and create a pokemon named Enbeedee.

    1. Which part of Monroe County are you located. Within the City it has snowed pretty steady, but don't believe we have gotten close to 2", and besides the Winter Weather Advisory was not starting 2-4 inches -- more line 1-2 or 1-3 depending on where you are located. Also it talked about raining overnight, and the temps do not look to fall below freezing -- so though it might be messy; don't see it become concrete.

I put my 4 ways on, stuck my head out the window and pulled over at the next available side street, and waited for my car to warm up properly. Raining/Sleeting and my car said 27. Though It was so cold this morning I suspect the car itself may have been colder than that.

  46. Looks like a False Spring start for next week as CCCC has been saying. Latest GFS shows another Arctic High dropping down. Spring will never arrive!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  47. That arctic high looks transient in the ensemble means, and actually doesn't even exist at all in the GGEM ensemble mean. Winter may fight hard to remain in the picture going forward, but Spring will win more often than not. When do we formally consider spring to have sprung anyway? For me it's when periods of snow cover become sporadic, which is pretty much what we'll be contending with starting early to mid next week (rogue snowstorm possibilities notwithstanding). So in my view it's an "early" spring...about 2-3 days early. Which is kind of like calling someone overweight when they're 2-3 lbs heavier than average.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Thanks CCCC for your reply. What is this about NWS calling for Thunderstorms and Flooding next week a possibility?

    1. I agree. With each new model run, it looks like 50s are not in our forecast next week. Doesn't it seem that the months of the season a running a month behind lately? February was our January and March will be our February. If this is the case, we should still see snow piles in the middle of May.

      Delete
    2. Yeah I'd agree. I'm no model reader but according to Wunderground "best forecast" low to mid 40s ~Tues & Weds & Thurs next week, then back to low 30's for Friday and Saturday. Average high now is 39 and by next week will be 41 or so. So this so-called "warm up" must be relative to where we've been, but not above average temps.

      Andy

      Delete
    3. I'd also add that with each forecast the last few weeks the warmer temps modeled 5-7 days out were always scaled back as the actual day approached. Just too much ice, snowpack and lingering cold.
      Andy

      Delete
    4. Thanks Andy! People seem to forget how much an impact the snow and ice cover has on the temperatures. Also, Lake Ontario will have a huge impact on our temperatures this Spring, keeping temps below average.

      Not to be Debby Downer on Scotti's forecast I believe he is way off in seeing 50's next week. There is way too much of a snow pack for temps to rise that far.

      Delete
  54. Would agree with the amount of the snow pack, we will not begin to see even a hint of green or let along brown (dirty) for several, several weeks -- possibly tile sometime in mid-April. Plus if we keep getting 2-3 inches of snow here and there, it will only add to the snow pack we currently have. Matter of fact still hard to see where some mailboxes are located, even with some warmth in the 20's and 30's. As it has been said, Spring will be LATE in arriving. So don't hold your breath for warmth, unless you are traveling to Miami where it is currently in the 80's.

    1. I would be extremely impressed if our snowpack held on through mid April. Especially since highs by then will be averaging in the 50s with a sun angle equivalent to late August...

    2. Two weeks until the vernal equinox means the Sun is still south of the celestial equator. That's comparable to two weeks after the autumnal equinox, or the first week of October. Still, it's high enough to melt snow!

      Delete
  55. It was 24 degrees the other day and I could make a snow man with the packy snow in my yard. The sun is getting stronger everyday. It is going to get harder and harder to maintain the cold and snowpack. Even a sunny week in the low 40's is going to start shrinking that pile.

    ReplyDelete
  56. A stunted midweek warmup does not portend a pattern change cancel. The shift is still going to happen, and we're probably going to get very little snow during the next few weeks. The final week of the month might provide an opportunity for a rogue last gasp snow event, but it remains abundantly clear that winter in its consistent form is about to head back into hibernation.

  58. The pattern is definitely changing as CCCC previously stated, but it doesn't look as though the cold is going to get locked up back where it belongs this time year despite the insanely positive AO and negative PNA. I think it'll remain more progressive than not, but with the cold so close by (not to mention extensive ice coverage and snow pack), we would be foolish not to expect a lot of moisture to ride through the progressive jet and meet the relatively cold air. That's just my opinion...

    ReplyDelete
  59. Even if we do get a lot of activity there's nothing to support much of it being snow unless we get very lucky.

    1. Huh!? CCCC, your not making a lot of sense right now. Idk if your studying too hard for midterms or what, but the upcoming pattern looks a lot like a typical March setup, meaning a 50/50 chance at the very least, in fact, the way models are trending, we would be lucky to get rain for the system the end of next week, a system models have been showing for actually quite a few days now.

      Delete
    2. A system which, if it developed, would occur during a positive EPO, a neutral/negative PNA, a positive NAO and a positive AO. The arctic high keeps it well south of us on the GFS, and even then it's mostly a rain system until it reaches the coastal plain. Not only would we need the storm to track right for us, we would also need it to slow down and team up with the transient arctic high at just the right moment, in a hostile pattern for both snow and slower storms. So, color me thoroughly unenthused.

    3. And don't get me wrong, I would love one more good snowfall before spring comes ripping in for good, so I'm not just tearing any snow potential to shreds due to personal desires. It's simply a hostile pattern for significant snowfalls.

    4. Well stated, I'm not saying it is set in stone, but with how dominant the cold has been recently and how the models can't seem to peg any warm up in advance, I tend to lean more toward snow vs rain through the next week or two in March. Plus, idk why, but the MJO trumps most of the teleconnections in my book based on past winters. Time will tell which season wins out though. And I would rather have it warm up tomorrow and be done with winter, but it just doesn't seem to be in the cards for at least another 2 weeks.

    5. Except the models have had this warmup pegged for the past week, including all of the teleconnection values. And the MJO is heading markedly into Phase 6, which strongly favors warmth in the east. And then even more markedly into Phase 7, which still favors warmth.

  60. Actually phase 7 promotes more of a ridge in Pacific, but we have to look at the amplification of the signal. The phase 6 signal begins as weak, then gradually amplifies before wheeling into a well amplified phase 7, which is exactly what the PNA ensembles reflect by the middle of the month. The strange thing is, with all of the teleconnections stacked against winter in the East when the MJO is in a mod/strong phase 6, models still don't torch us when it should...

    1. It's not enough to just have a ridge in the Pacific though...if it's too far west in the Pacific then the resultant downstream trough forms in the western CONUS, and we warm up as a ridge pumps. In any event this is the MJO phase composite for JFM:

      Phase 7 isn't as strongly mild as Phase 6, but it's still mild. I'm not sure what's going to drive that arctic high with literally everything stacked against it. Then again, we're all painfully familiar with random great lakes cutters in the midst of cold patterns. Maybe in this case the rise in the PNA opens the doors a little bit, but it's not like we're going to get some massive western ridge poking up to Santa's house at that time. The GFS and its ensembles are kind of alone in tempering the warmup to the extent that they depict, and I'm left wondering if they might be overdoing the PNA rise.

      I'm very interested in seeing if that high amplitude Phase 7 can carry over into the colder Phase 8, especially since some of the model depictions are literally off the charts.

    3. It could be that 4C's and Weatherguy are both correct? I think we can all agree that the bitter, bitter cold is done for this year..can we not? Euro weeklies show average to cooler than average right into the first week of April. Warmup could be slightly muted but we don't go back to waking up with -3 temps either.

      Perhaps I should be quiet and just look out the window, while rocking slowly back and forth, because I said pretty much nothing here?

  61. That warm up for next week that some had talked about really seems to be fleeting. Right now next Tue and Weds might be slightly above average but then it's back to ~10 degrees below normal through Sunday 3/15 (Wunderground). Accuweather (LOL) is showing Monday 3/16 at 53, then back to below normal for many days.

    The good thing is that it appears to be fairly dry and sunny after this weekend which should give the snowpack time to sublimate a bit which hopefully reduces flooding down the road.

    Still want to enjoy winter, but spring when it finally gets here, will be nice.
