Wow what an impressive cold morning for March 20th... Our low this morning of 10 degrees! That's got to be close to a record. Heck I think that's the coldest we've been since January.
Yeah with the cloud cover the temp didn't drop really quickly until right when I was leaving and that was when it was beginning to clear out. No two ways about it. This is very cold for this time of the year.
Looks like winter will hang on a bit longer. Looks like there are several chances for some flakes around the border county in the next few days. Going to be pretty cold also with lows in the teens and 20s.
Eh it's hard to tell. The pattern will change hopefully. There are a ton of variables but I do think that we will be stuck with a bad Pacific for a few years. Something about everything balancing out in the west. They had severe drought for several years and now I think they are going to have some really big surpluses the next several winters which really they need.
Well the models have trended like crap this weekend. This has been a horrendous pattern really since December. I might need to move out west if this is going to be the norm. Especially with a negative pdo which last decades. The SER has been an immovable force this winter as well. A lot of just bad upper atmosphere drivers this winter.
As GA has explained it's a lot more complex than that. Especially when you have blocking over the top, a decaying Nina, a 50/50 low, different wavelengths.... It's a lot.
