ski MRG Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 AMOUT..Euro backed way off on the cold shot next weekend and it's a 2 day milddown in a month of torch. Days 8-10 right back to the torch again. If it can't snow this month..let's have it be 70 It's snowed already this month and will snow more. Those of us that live where March is a Winter month have no interest in warm weather. You should move to Virginia. I also see you haven't taken me up on the bet about March snows.

Kevin has had a horrific last 10 days for forecasting...he should probably hang 'em up for the season and come back next year fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Ensembles are very mild in the 11-15 day. Yeah and op runs scream torch as well. Morch on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the torch will win out in the end, it's won out since 11/1 so why buck the trend..sure we'll have a cold day or two but in the end...TORCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete will talk about crusty snow under his evergreens, while Joe is posting sunshine emoticons while a 42F south wind howls through BDR. Wake me up in November.

ski MRG Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Kevin has had a horrific last 10 days for forecasting...he should probably hang 'em up for the season and come back next year fresh. I think that is very good advice. The period of transition from Winter to Spring so often provides atmospheric dynamite it can be an exciting time in NE. I remember reading accounts of the blizzerd of 1888. In the days prior to the event it seems people were strolling in Central Park enjoying 50's and 60's . They, like Kevin today, were gravely mistaken in thinking that Winter was over. Some people just do not learn from history. Hopefully next year the storm systems will be a bit simpler to forecast so Kevin will be able to get his feet back under him. I still think it would be fun to let Kevin take over for Ryan as an on air met to see how long he'd last before the villagers turned up outside the studio with torches and pitchforks. Depending on the time of year I'd say the over/under would be about 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Couple of slightly below normal days to get through Mon/Tues before looking at 60s mid week. Nice. Crocuses are blooming here. Signs of Spring everywhere with bulbs/plants coming up. Amazing to think that just 50mi NW of here has several inches of snow on the ground.

It must be tough to be a met living in a place like Dorchester where evidently no weather of note ever occurs. Oh, wait, you did have a few mangled flakes with this last system. My bad.

The snow under my evergreens is not crusty. Enjoy what weather/conditions you got. I know I would if I were out there. There may be a rogue event down this way but any "sustained" winter is long since gone for us here in SE MA. Daytime climo highs here are already in the mid 40s. Time to look forward to Spring projects outdoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually about 15-18" there but you are right it should be much deeper. This was the snowpack on 3/3/08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, when I left Wrentham Friday, there was ~3-4" OTG and the trees were covered in snow. By the time you hit the Norton/Easton line on I-495 there was nothing. Sounds like the same gradient there as well. I think the areas around my work lost most if not all of there snow yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 The Euro was a nice several inch anafrontal snowfall here on Friday. No exciting storm anymore without the full phase, but a decent wave formed. May goal is 4 1/2 inches to hit 50 for the season. Pretty poor, but it's something. It would be nice if the nrn and srn streams didn't remain so separate. I keep hoping the overnight models have something interesting when I get up. Euro op looked interesting for NNE.

Time to look forward to Spring projects outdoors. You know it. Going to ski at the B'east a little later. Sunday is family ski day for us. I'll enjoy every bit of snow until the bitter end. Once it is really over I'll switch to golf and mountain biking immediately. Despite the look of the LR I'm sure more snow will fall here. I think all of the recent snow we've gotten was originally progged to be rain but all treneded favorably as we approached the event. Perhaps the same will happen as we close in on next weekend. Again, as long as it snows somewhere from here to the Canadian border I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very good but this year it will be a victory. I'm hoping for a major storm to bookend the winter and put me up over the century mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Kevin has had a horrific last 10 days for forecasting...he should probably hang 'em up for the season and come back next year fresh. Except for the surprise you guys had the other night the coating on March 1 was it. The vast majority of that fell on Feb 29. I will bet you a six pack that we do not see more than 2 inches of snow in Morch at any of the 4 climo siites in Sne. Deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
