Anything we get in the next week to 10 days will probably be almost pure luck. PNA is so negative, esp later this week...normally we could start getting away with it, but its magnitude is so strong that its still affecting the pattern quite a ways downstream in the form a huge SE ridge,

I think after every good snow event this winter you promised to not complain again for the rest of the season.

And I have adhered to that, but if I start getting cold rain after cold rain during spring, then I'm gonna get antsy....especially if folks relatively nearby are getting snow.

BTW, spring is a new season. :whistle:

theres about 15 inches OTG here but i cant say its worth posting any pics.

its not anything anyone hasnt already seen before countless times in their lives.

I actually have the spring itch more than most on here. As I get older I hate the nuisance cold more and more. I actually enjoy the late March 50s/60s with full sun. It's a nice kick in the ass to my SAD. :)

I haven't posted snow pics all winter so you should be good. I'm still wondering what I did to receive all of the angst. Maybe I'm missing the sarcasm. :snowman:

It's just bustin' chops somewhat. I think it would be a tease if you were to get some snow, and most of us are left with a cold rain. For such an epic 8 week period, these last two weeks have really gone down the crapper. Even Pete could only muster up a slant sticking 0.75" until today. I don't ever complain, but it's getting old.

This is what I mean, you have to carefully consider whether a pattern conducive to spring snows is worth the risk of enduring a a string of 33*, spring suiciders here on the cp.

If we have a snow less March then a cool, drizzly April/May then you'll have every right to complain. I know I'll b**ch a little. :lol:

If April and May are nice, then that's fine. I can deal with that. But if they turn out to be just cold and raw..that's when it gets depressing.

The weather will do what it wants to do, so we just deal I guess. Hopefully we get a nice late season gift. Even a nice 3-5" paste would be welcomed...I'm not asking for a blizzard.

Yeah...it's a case of different folks; different strokes I guess. I actually prefer getting 80-100" in 2-3 months versus 4 months since it leads to epic snow depths. There's still a lot of snow here, but it's an icy, crusty mess and we're about 1.5ft down from our max depth. So essentially I'm ready for heavy, heavy UV. I suppose I wouldn't make a very good CoT member. :snowman:

I'd be all for that we could have the April and May of last year. Hopefully we don't have the wheel of misfortune, to our se. I guess I just view March as a nice ending to a great winter..and takes the sting off any crappy upcoming weather.

Then there was a heat wave around the 22nd of that month...

That was a fascinating event. The NAO was east based but popped west, and thus forced a closed SPV to form over James Bay. This sent a moderately intense cfropa off the Eastern Seaboard. But then the NAO continued to retrograde and the JB vortex then was pushed SE through Ontario... It sagged down over New England and intensified some, because of feed-back from cyclogenesis... Which actually was fairly impressive at 990mb as it pass between CC and the BM. The storm was a slow mover... Anyway, this vortex was very cold aloft - kind of obscene for that time of year actually. It didn't take much fall rates to punch wicked chill right down to sea level.

I think 850 temps once the ULL got directly overhead were down to about -8C. Pretty ridiculous for May.

The interesting part about that storm was that further north away from the good dynamics and cold pool aloft, it rained. You had the coastal plain of MA getting crushed under 8-10" of cement while Concord, NH got 1.3" of rain with only a trace of snow reported.

I was living in NYC (Da' Bronx) for that event going to college (CCNY) and we had thunder sleet/snow during it with actually a coating on the sidewalks from that storm. IIRC it was a Sunday/Monday event. I remember a real cold rain on that Sunday night walking home across Mosholu Parkway from my fiance's house.
