March 1956 and 1960 had impressive storms also. 1960 also had sustained cold.
I don't think we give the March 2018 enough due. For late March you cant do much better.
Just a few days ago that wave wasn't hanging around. In fact it was dampening out with very light precip sinking back south and we were cooling aloft and surface was chilly . Now we may hit 50 on Wednesday.
It's just been an incredible uphill climb. At least entering prime time climo makes it easier but when you're on such a bad run you expect everything to go wrong and that has happened even when getting some great mid-range looks. This is still out best shot so far coming up. Have to hope something breaks our way. The 25th is far from settled so maybe we the tide changes. My goal with the 25th system is something measurable then as PSU the next wave is the one that works out. By the end of January you dont want to be punting waves.
This is leaning towards a 94/95, 2005/2006 type deal where we hope we get 1 good secs/mecs although I'm still remaining positive at the moment. There are still more positive signs that we score and the window should be at least 2 weeks.
I just looked. Even here it's ridiculous. 530 thickness. 850's almost -6 but surface never gets colder than 34. Its unbelievable. I dont recall seeing that before.
