Geos Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Will there be bickering on the board between people who make posts about excepting an early spring and those that want to hang onto winter hopes? The early spring people shouldn't be bickering at all today or tomorrow! We are experiencing early spring conditions now! At least I would say mid 40s feels like spring to me!

weatherpsycho Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Will there be bickering on the board between people who make posts about excepting an early spring and those that want to hang onto winter hopes? Yes the usually suspects will likely duke it out from now until May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Holy western trough on the 12z Euro @ 240 534 dm thicknesses entering the Baja. I like this solution for 240 hours: snowstorm in Toledo!! I think there may be a significant system at 10-11 days, but I wouldn't make any bets about the details.

Hoosier Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I noticed. GFS has a storm in the Midwest that same time. Different jet stream configuration though. Negative height anomalies are almost off the scale there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I think we need more acronyms. We have the GFDL, the GFDN, why not the GFDS? Or the Global Geophysical Fluid Forecasting Prediction Super-Ensemble Forecast System? I wish we had a way to pronounce ECMWF without saying "Euro" which is a unit of money.

Chinook Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 http://www.xtranorma...800/weatherbell I didn't laugh out loud. At first I had no idea what this was going to be about. But then.. well, the writer of this video is pretty seriously convinced that JB is out to lunch. It sounds an awful lot like some of the postings on this internet forum. I haven't followed the predictions of JB for years. I saw some JB video a while back. Wasn't it last winter or last spring when JB said in an Accuwx video that the 2nd La Nina in a row would most likely be extra cold (that is 2011-2012) ??? Now cartoon characters are ripping him.

Geos Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 We will not be in winter or spring until May it will be in between so that no one is happy. Springtime around here is between 45°-60° typically. Thanks to being close to the lake, we usually have 3 weeks of spring weather and we jump straight to summer weather.

Just from the novelty of it. You'd think. Yes, this has to be manong the least snowiest for Toronto since 1918-1919. That winter wasa bust much like this one in terms of temperature and snowfall. January 1919 saw only 10.9 cm of snow, while February 1919 saw only 12.7cm fall. Even more horrific was 1905-1906. November: 7.1cm December: 15.5cm januaruy: 10.9cm February 31.2cm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropical Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Just checked, ZERO frost in the yard. My spade went right in when I stepped on it.

michsnowfreak Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I will hold you to your prediction and I'll be sure to call in my debts once tax day comes around... Go for it lol. Just remember, I got no reward for forecasting such an outstanding Feb 2011, so if Mar 2012 snowstorm busts, be gentle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Well, the trend has been for increasingly snow free winters. If you were a betting person, I'd bet that next winter will see more of the same. It seems that over the past decade the Mid-Atlantic has been getting snowier while we've been seeing less snow (with regard to our averages of course). The funny thing is that peoplel ike JB, whose clietele largely reside in areas that have seen increased snowfall on average over the past decade, has people believing that winters are getting harsher when in reality the areas that have traditionally seen harsh winters on average are now seeing their winters gradually become less harsh. I have to disagree with most of this. If anything, its the mid-atlantic thats basically stayed true to form. Since the beginning of records they seem to be one of those places where one year they will get buried in several big snowstorms (ala 2009-10) and then the next several years will see next to nothing. Its actually the Great Lakes and New England region that have seen consistently snowier winters the last decade. I honestly dont know what the heck is going on in Toronto (altho...it has only gotten bad since 2009-10, no?).....but I just dont see how the trend will continue. It sounds so stupid to say, but honestly, it just seems like a recurrent case of horrible luck. If places surrounding Toronto on both sides (Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, New York, Boston, Burlington) have seen such above normal snowfall in recent years, and Toronto is a traditionally snowy city anyway, it just doesnt make any logical sense.

snowstormcanuck Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I guess one good thing is almost all of us are going through the exact same thing. That fact has helped me cope with this winter up until recently. But lately I've found it's been giving little comfort. Outrageously, scandalously, inconceivably bad winter. Calling it a nightmare would be an insult to nightmares. More like a night terror winter. ugh, I'm choking on my own rage over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
