Northern Foothills Snowman

It would be nice to see one more snow before spring. You mentioned the MJO in favorable phases , which they have been this winter. Don’t remember the last time we were in Phase 8,1 In the same winter. A lot of the recent winter have been spent in 4,5 and 6. Also you mentioned the AO, NAO and PNA. So which outranks which MJO or AO PNA and NAO? Or does the NAO and PNA and AO eventually follow suite with the MJO? Just trying to lean how this all works

Not blasting you but Is this the same Euro that forecasted the northern half of NC getting plastered with a foot plus only to take it away a few runs later? The only snow we received last Wednesday in Surry con was light and never stuck.

We are still not under anything in Surry Co. Even Boone has nothing No watch or anything. Our forecast is out Blacksburg Va and they are usually one of the last to issue anything.

Now we go into phase 8 of MJO. About a month or so too late.

So which one do you go by in March? JFM FMA MAM?

Have an MJO question I’m curious about. JFM you want 1,2,3 &8 for cold phases. FMA they are the same. MAM has 1,2,3,4&8 as cold. So if MJO goes into 4 isn’t that a cold phase for March? Trying to understand this

We didn’t have any snow December 92 and January February and March 93 until the blizzard happed.

I’m is NC foothills near VA border. I have a question about the MJO. JFM has 1,2,3&8 as cold phases. FMA has the same cold phases. MAM has 1,2,3,4&7 as cold. so which one do we go by in March? Thansk.

I’m 62 and I remember the snows in 70’s and 80’s on going winter storms. I remember we had 3 TV channels to watch back then.Channel 2 12 and 8 Channel 8 had a meteorologist named Frank Deal. He was the best at forecasting the snowstorms. I always liked his forecasts best because he would usually predict more than channel 2 and 12. Most of the time he was spot on too

JB says rocking coast to coast til Easter after early March warm.
