Love the 2nd to last picture. Nice view of Pleasant Mountain there? I recognize it from when we go up to the same Lake house every summer on Moose Pond right in the shadow of it.

2000 was 80+ I remember. Also I think mid-March 1990 had a sneaky 80s at ORH….very hard to do there.

I remember everyone at work and out and about saying that in 2018 when we had that February 70F torch and then we had 40”+ in March. I’m sure this year will be 45F and rain.

Pretty big strat warm signal on ensembles for early March. That will manifest as a perfect pattern at the end of March and April. Welcome to Tip’s favorite season.

You’ll be rewarded with 50% of the days being Atlantic ass mist once you celebrate the end of snow threats.

Yes. Also doesn’t mean that will continue. Or…maybe we get an ugly looking chart mid-month and it produces a storm which sometimes happens in March with shorter wavelengths.

Everyone always tries to rush the end of winter every late February and March. It’s like we all of the sudden live in Virginia.

The first half of March looks pretty interesting. Maybe we can finally pop a big one, but probably not.

No the flash freeze event was a few days earlier on 3/8/05. That’s the one that had massive winds too. The 3/12/05 event was basically an advisory event that busted positively into a big warning event. It was essentially a really juiced inverted trough with the low going offshore but the upper support was hanging back and we just pounded snow almost all day. I think we ended up with 11” or so when 3-6 was the forecast the night before.

3/12/05 was underrated over the interior too. We had almost a foot of snow in that. Huge bust as only like 3-6” was forecasted.

Yeah but mid-latitudes have plenty of cold which makes sense given the pattern…lots of big blocking in the arctic. So your arctic domains are a torch but not the mid-latitudes.

The southeast def had a pretty cold winter and almost nobody called for it given it was a La Nina....usually SE ridge and mild weather dominates there but not this time.

Just for reference, here is 2014-15

We also drastically underperformed the anomalies at 850...

December was quite cold from China to ME too. It was actually the coldest stretch on the globe outside of a frigid Greenland that month.
