    I don’t know. When I think front loaded winter, I don’t think of a massive arctic outbreak in late January and possible +PNA going into February.

    I’m not nearly as knowledgeable as most people here on MJO stuff but the look at the end of the ensembles does not look like a phase 8 or even 7 for that matter to me. It almost looks like it’s moving to something you’d see in 6.

    Looking at the end of the ensemble runs, it looks like a country wide blowtorch is developing for the end of the month into beginning of Feb as a big blue ball develops from Alaska to the south then moving into the west coast.

    I didn’t know that. That’s surprising to me. It usually takes until sometime in May for it to be warm enough for dandelions around here. I usually don’t have to cut my lawn until May though either. So I guess NYC is like San Juan compared to here when it comes to plant life. lol

    Spring snowstorms actually have the benefit of potentially much warmer air to the south causing a stronger storm. It just has to have cold enough air to work with on the cold side which isn’t always a guarantee the deeper into March you go.

    It's crazy to me that soil temperatures could even be warm enough to produce a growing plant in what is a colder than normal winter at the latitude of Boston even if there's a week or two of above normal temps.
  7. roardog
    At least you’ll have a good snowpack to maximize the brutal cold that is coming next week.

    Yeah. It’s rare to see a forecast bust that bad these days. Although my yard only had about an inch from this system, it was still a surprise. I wasn’t expecting much snow this morning and next thing I knew it was snowing very hard around 8am. I looked at the radar and there was snow developing all over the SE quarter of the state and I thought then that the forecast could be a bust.

    If the western US doesn’t get some precip this winter it could be bad next summer if it’s dry out there.

    The last real concrete i remember here was early January 2024. It snowed pretty hard for hours and we got like 2 inches of snow. lol. It was 33F or 34F the whole time.

    Not too many posters have probably been paying attention to this storm but there has been a huge NW/stronger trend with this over the last few days. It doesn't mean much to most here but to see systems becoming stronger as they get closer in time instead of weaker like we've seen the last 10 years is different.

    After 23-24 I feel like most posters here would rather take their chances with a decently +PDO if we have to deal with a stronger Nino. The -PDO with the mc forcing seemed to make things worse for sure.
  13. roardog
    What did RONI peak at in 23-24? I feel like the atmosphere behaved more like a strong/borderline super Nino with a -PDO than anything weaker than that.
  14. roardog
    Maybe this will do something similar. Flip the PDO this year then get a stronger Nino next year. I could see something like that playing out.
  15. roardog
    I can’t believe we would see another strong Nino after just having a very strong one so recently.

    Overall in the means the pattern has definitely been different than what we’ve seem from the mid 2010s until recently. It seems like it was just about impossible to get sustained western US ridging for many years. Alek always used to post about how it’s always wet in this new climate. We’ve seen some deviation from that recently too.
  17. roardog
    Everyone has been complaining the last few years that we don't get clippers anymore. Well, do you want a clipper pattern or not? lol

    I feel like living where you do would actually be frustrating if you like snow. Clare county is so close but yet so far away from consistent heavy LES from Lake Michigan. I have no chance over here to get heavy snow from Lake Michigan but at least I can from Lake Huron even if it’s hard to get a north or northeast flow with favorable conditions.
  19. roardog
    Looks about the same around here. It’s hazardous to walk anywhere.lol. Good thing there isn’t any wind tonight
  20. roardog
    It could be your favorite weather next week. Very cold and dry.
  21. roardog
    Yeah. It looks nasty. Models showing .5-.75 inches of rain with most of it being freezing rain.
  22. roardog
    07-08 is what I picture when I think of a canonical Nina around here.
  23. roardog
    Isn’t there actually supposed to be something to that? I can’t remember where I’ve seen that before.
  24. roardog
    Yeah. If your thing is just to have snowstorms then you’re almost better off hoping for above normal temps in the dead of winter.
  25. roardog
    You’re not excited about the inevitable days of low clouds and fog that ultimately comes with every mild winter day around here?
