Winter Storm March 2-4, 2018 (house, Maryland, snow, inches)

Observed March 2018 NorEaster Snowfall Totals..

Source:. If you choose "Total Snowfall 48" in the drop down box and click update map you'll see the actual snowfall amounts. Wow at the large area of 1-2 feet in central NY! There was 6-9" in local spots outside Philly too.





So I just went back and grabbed all the 12z and 00z model runs from Feb 28th. All from Topical TidBits

The Canadian was the worst! It's like it didn't know how to produce a north-south result. Was always "angled". But it did have the 2 blobs in Hudson Valley and Western NY from 3 days out.

I focused more on where snow fell and where was heaviest vs actual numbers.

So here are the 4 Canadian runs..

Spoiler

4 NAM runs. Too much snow too far south in NJ and Eastern MA.

Spoiler

4 GFS runs. I gotta say, not bad! Picked up the accumulating snow in Philly but not NYC or the CT River valley! Little too much in Eastern MA.

Spoiler

4 German runs. Not bad. Started picking up the little snow in Southern New England but little too much in NJ. Picked up the central NY and Northern PA heavier stuff.

Spoiler

NAM, Euro, GFS, Icon. Euro Top right from 42hrs out not bad either except that blob over Eastern MA

No end in sight. They take care of the big city first, regardless of who was out the longest.

Crazy! Over 1 million without power in the Mid Atlantic alone. Over 500,000 in New England.
Friend of mine going on 17hrs now with generator power. It might be few days for some.


There it is spinning over the Atlantic this morning





447,000+ in Pennsylvania
373,000+ in Massachusetts
289,000+ in New York
281,000+ in Virginia
205,000+ in Maryland

As of 10:15 tonight, 76% of Maryland customers had power restored. Mine came a few hours earlier after 31 hrs. on the generator. For a while there, I thought generator time would eclipse the 45 hours after Hurricane Isabel in 2003. Actually 45 hrs. wasn't bad vis-à-vis those folks who were out of power for two weeks after Isabel.

All the statistics are great. Now that I've seen per National Grid the expected date to restore power is March 6th, ugh.
