I wonder what the SSTA's were like off the coast of ME...I would bet they were much above normal and that really helped to add a good deal of low-level instability which helped spawn the tornado.

I will wait until later Winds picking up You will snowblow. You can't push this stuff with the shovel because most of it just falls off the back or out the sides.

Logan11 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hey I only had about a three week window this winter when absolutely no grass was showing - due to the insane blowing we get. But I feel confiodent that Monday's thaw will never get us down to grass anywhere...way too much snow. Flash freeze Monday evening FTW.

This year promises to be even more active IMO Yes they did! I as well think this year could be more in the way of active, especially early on. If we get some blocking to return in the early spring that can help to create some very nice temperature gradients which would mean strong cold fronts and the jet stream has been very active the past two years now and pretty strong...I don't see that subsiding anytime soon. Even last summer the STJ was a bit stronger than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninas always are I actually agree on the spring...I think it sucks here....lots of backdoors, especially if we go back into a blocking regime in the spring. The only way we don't see this occur is if there is very little blocking and the SE ridge takes prominence, which remains a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
