The unofficial official absurdly warm for March thread

yeah Irene probably didn't help that either.

the stuff that's happening right now is somewhat subtle i suppose - probably mostly just noticeable to people who are more in-tune with the outdoors/nature/weather etc. but i'm curious to what things *could* look like 10 days from now. there's a good chc most of the region will see no sub-freezing weather and we could have another run of big time warmth next week. things can happen quick when you get big multi-day warm spells. i remember just in 2010 how stuff responded.

That's actually an interesting point. Most into gardening, such as my self, know that nights above freezing is the trigger in the spring. You can balm to 60 plus...if it cools back to 32 and frost at night, no go -

But, don't know about lows of 45-55F for perhaps 2 weeks, with days of 65-85F would mean. Seems it really would test that seasonal bounds of the growing season here.

Back to back 70's..this week again next week and to top it off back to back 80''s and a shot at a 90

i was just kidding.

obviously it's way above normal. everyone saw it coming - the large-scale model agreement was off the charts. the only question there has been/continues to be is exactly how warm it gets in new england given the position of the ridge axis.

next week definitely looks like it could torch. op runs keep pushing it back a bit but i'd be surprised if we don't get at least 1 widespread very mild day.

No I am serious. This stretch of wx is pretty rare.

...and if this goes down as the warmest March in history, it would mean that it is so rare that it like ...never happened before ;)

lol

As of the 12th ORH is only +4.3 on the month; BOS, +5.3... Of course, a day like today can goose both by a full degree seeing as they'll clock in with a +20 and change on the date.

So call it +5 at ORH and +6 at BOS ...teetering on impressiveness. What is interesting is that we had a couple of -6 and -8's in there... We've had some extremes this March so far, no doubt. I figure the "backdoor" late tomorrow, and Thursday...Friday perhaps into early Saturday, yeah, it will cool back considerably, but to what? Normal. I mean, is "normal" a cold snap in this day and age. Jesus Christ.

All bets are off next week then. If we clock normalcy from Thur-Saturday, then surge to the mid 80s for a couple of days next week (supposing that happened that is), we'd easily jolt the averages up to +10F, and now you're getting absurd, big time.

I think both stations were -1 to 0 through the 6th so if March comes in the warmest ever that will be even more "impressive" seeing that it had to overcome a week of slightly below/"normal" March wx.

But how rare we won't know in our lifetimes. Would this happen once every 25 Marches?50? 100? 250? 500? 1000?

It may be one of the..if not warmest March ever so like Tip said....we may never have experienced this in modern times. Lets remember this pattern is more EPO and AO driven...not AGW driven.

What did that clown say?

Well, you might be happy, called global warming a hoax, basically blamed liberals for making it up. Yahoo is running a story on it I am sure you can find what he said anywhere, it was at the gulf coast energy summit or something.

Well I'm not on that end of the spectrum. Most mets just want to seek the truth. I think you are a kook if you don't think the planet hasn't warmed since the 19th century. The question is how and why. Unfortunately, it's only human for money and egos to get in the way and when that happens....science FTL. Anyways, OT.

I agree 100%

Nice little seabreeze has come in, temp back down to 64, feels nice.

God I am so jealous of you guys. I have a freezing rain warning out for my area. Freezing rain, ice pellets, rain, and snow in the forecast here for the next two days. Grrrr how I loathe this time of year. Not going to be a fun commute to work tomorrow morning or Thursday morning. Me FTL!

I pray it happens just for the shear agony and outrage....

We're sitting on say...oh, March 24.3rth, and the model runs come out with a fresh piece of polar/arctic hybrid cold fragmention that cuts off between the Del Marva and ACK, with some -5SD cold anomalies in the 700 to 500mb partial thickness, for the 31st.

Oh we all throw our hand because the winter we have had has us all so collectively jaded and disillusioned.... Then it happens... ORH reports 42.1" total. PVD, 39". BOS 34", but their snow is wetter in the first half of the storm, so it makes sense. Maximum wind at Logan 81mph gust. ACK gust to 94mph. Storm take 30 hours to exit the area once it cuts, and this cause the biggest marine-land incursion disaster because it takes advantage of Spring tide. Storm beats out the Halloween deal of 1991, the Dec '92 run, and makes 1978 look like a teaser before the main event. Winds gust routinely to 60mph as far inland as BED-FIT-ORH-HFD. Temperatures plummet to 17F at ORH at the height of the storm.

And it all happens on the 31st of March, the warmest March in the history of weather keeping.

Man would that be a story for the grand kids.

1945: 46.3F (+7.4)

1921: 46.2F (+7.3)

1977: 44.7F (+5.8)

ORH:
