Seriously? We can already see that this weeks warm up, and likely the one after that will be short lived and could very well have snow chances on either side of them. Winter is not over. Not here, and not for your area either, IMO. Some of our best all time snows have occurred during volatile patterns. We always don’t need a -NAO/-AO/-EPO/+PNA pattern to get a biggie - or any snowstorm for that matter. In fact, this area does just fine in a neutral, and even slightly positive NAO state.
March will come in like a lion for many of us in this forum. 80s in Florida and over the gulf, meet arctic air. Will there be some days in the 40s and 50s? Yes. 100%. There’s nothing to lock in deep arctic air long term. However, There will be plenty of cold shots coming into the plains/northeast, and plenty of systems developing and tracking through an active SJS. We will need a few pieces to fall into place - timing of cold air and a storm - SE ridge relaxing a bit and a temporary neutral or PNA , but that’s perfectly okay. I know @psuhoffman @Bob Chill and @clskinsfan could probably list off a good number of second half of season storms that occurred during less than ideal patterns ie: +NAO +AO patterns. I actually that think our area’s propensity to be within 50-100 miles of the transition zone will pay off big time in the next few weeks.
Stay strong, @Ji I know it’s been a tough winter. Your latitude has been extremely unlucky for a multitude of reasons. But don’t fret. We’ve got this. Channel your inner @WinterWxLuvr and get on the train!!!
