The warm days, the cloudy days, and the abundant rains are all trademarks of a Nino fwiw. Kind of surprised how this winter played out here. What surprised me most is the lack of Southern snows along NC/SC a few times during a Nino. Didn't have that this year. I wonder if that feature has shifted N over the years to our region? We usually don't see the week-long stretches of winter but rather one big one in Feb or March. Interesting that Nova Scotia got an anomalous 5' + snowstorm a few weeks back. Hmm, maybe everything did shift N this year. Wonder if that's a sign of the times/change?

In all honesty, we had 2 decent 10-day stretches of winter....this winter. Based on future guidance, I will assume we are pretty much done for all intents and purposes. With that said, I give this winter a C/C+ grade. Like I told my son last year when finishing up 8th grade tho...C's are meh, you can do better. This year as a freshman in HS he is rocking straight A's and some advanced/honors studies. We need winter to respond likewise. We can do better.

Bring it. I want 90s by early April.

March is the new April?

Why wouldn't we be here? I bet next winter tosses a surprise or two at us. It's akin to Vegas sports book odds....when all the money is on one side (in this case alot of pros throwing next winter in the garbage saying not even a remote shot) that's when the upsets tend to happen. Overall probably a crud pattern but I'm sure we sneak a handful of trackable events in there.

Aliens?

Still waiting for the Sistine Chapel...

Chuck, what say you about the mid lat blocking during hurricane season? Do you see that on the increase with the shifting ocean currents that scientists have predicted?

The westerlies didn't affect Sandy. Matter of fact that was a heck of a block. But.....with the posts about blocking being on the decline, I guess that nullifies things.

So with the "oceans on fire" that I've seen posted here, maybe we should move on from big snow tracking because obviously that isnt working, and start tracking landfalling canes in the Mid Atlantic and NJ. We're due for another Sandy. Well, not really and this post is pretty much just sarcasm, but I wonder if we will start seeing more Northern landfalling tropical systems up this way in the coming years? Would make for an Interesting study anyway.

Don't know if this is the one or not. But I'm confident we haven't seen the last of the winter weather for the season. Hey, if you get forecast for double the amount expected at my locale again, you got a spare room? Might need to chase

Groundhog said hold my beer.

Snow squall warnings firing in Telford

An occasional mini ground 'blizzard' with spotty whiteouts here in Telford as the winds whip and blow the snow off roofs and fields.

Just hit a hefty squall driving thru Hatfield

Well, expectation was set at 3" here and ended with 3" on the button in Ivyland. No complaints. Just under 18" for the season and 6z GFS says maybe we get another shot late week.

Should pickup a squall later in spots

Loons like the dry slot has set up over my area in central Bucks and looks to continue per radar. Back edge zipping east fast See y'alll in the am. Goodnight and good luck.

Probably thawing his drought gauge

You guys are like 2 of about 8 people in the state that saw the good rates lol Congrats.

Squalls tomorrow

Hrrr nailed it. To the North

Nothing notable here in Warminster. Dusting at best.

Seriously, if you are near Q-town you are gold. Down this way, nasomuch. I expect 3-4" up your way without batting an eye.
