Maybe I've missed it, but if not I'm surprised no one has mentioned it's the 15th anniversary of GHD I.

Close enough to monitor

Tons of ice climbers out in Platte Clove today. The wind is biting and the sun still doesn't help much.

That timing is unfortunate, though...that PD weekend barrier is historically a real thing when it comes to getting a bigger big snow. Was hoping we could get something on the pattern "relax". Usually if it doesn't happen by then you gotta wait until March (ack). Hard to expect it...we could still get some smaller events though to try and finally get to average.

Welcome. I assume you scheduled your first kick in the plums session? Next one is Wednesday. There will be other sessions so don’t fret if you miss this one. We will find you.

34.9 was my high today. We are now back below freezing at 31.7. The low this morning was 10.5. We will likely beat that low tonight.

Agreed. Had a new furnace installed at the end of December. Tank was topped off just prior, in early November, at 250 gallons. We are currently just about at the half full mark. Have never used more than 100-125 gallons in a winter until this one. New windows are now on the menu, once the furnace is paid down a bit.

Kept saying that all night. Cue 'damn it feels good to be a gangster...' from Office Space

Also the PV split, SSW event gives us a good chance at a good March

I split time between Odenton, MD and Colesville, MD - both still have serious issues - especially side roads. Both counties seem to be working hard (but slowly) with big machines to widen the main roads. Sidewalks in a lot of communities are abysmal (even HOA places). I even filed a complaint with Anne Arundel County about the HOAs failure to remotely clear the sidewalks of ice a week after the storm. They switched snow removal contractors sometime between last winter and this winter - the new folks SUCK. My neighborhood in Colesville is notorious for people leaving their cars parked on the road before a snowstorm - and this led to my dead end street being a single file lane...and the county hasn't returned to widen it at all.

Take a look at set ups with decidedly +EPO/+WPO/-NAO...promise it won't be this cold, and often downright mild...we've seen some examples over the past several years.

hey that's my tinder profile anthem. I like to set expectations really low

No it hasn't, the North Pacific has. -NAO can prevent a torch and help to lock cold in when it matters, but it's not the source of this arctic flow.

Long Island Sound was starting to slush over on Smithtown Bay yesterday. Any atmospheric physicists want to weigh in on whether that freezing process is keeping things a little warmer along the north shore than they would have been? On another note: although cold, a lot of days and nights recently have been running above forecast but today is running colder than forecast. Doesn't look like we'll make it any higher than about 20.

Was confused by the vibe of the forum. Seemed all the focus was on the warmup.

Correct!

No, it impacted March, but the extreme RNA still worked mid atlantic and SNE.

Yeah it looks pretty likely that it is going to happen, question becomes, can we recover? The -PNA looks pretty rock solid. I bet we see some old fashioned Lakes cutters mid month/second half of the month. This is normal for any winter to go through thaw periods. It’s not a bad time for it to happen if we can get a reload by March. See what happens

This is the week I usually go to Tampa. Not missing much.

Weeklies show a brief moderation towards mid February . It dropped the very cold idea. It does keep the northeast cool.

Temp got over 20 today, first time since Jan 22nd. Nine straight maxima in the teens or singles - been a while since that happened.

I think we did the same for “events” measure in tenths of a inch…

Amazing the difference out west. Friend of mine moved to Great falls last year so I follow the temperatures. The 10-day forecast for Great falls:

Change "February" to Thanksgiving, then to Christmas, then to January. Cold's going nowhere. February may very well be below average too.
