There is a big difference between a good Nor'easter and a tropical system, the exception was the March 62 storm. I have had a few heated discussions with Hurricane Josh about this. Anybody that wants a tropical system to strike the US is crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it stems from some kind of frustration with lack of snow, thus turning into denial, can't explain it. In fact spring snowstorms are my absolute favorite. They don't stick around (I love snow when its falling, but could care less about snow cover) and there's a better chance for closed ULLs which are always fun. Every year I'm always praying for an April 1 97 repeat. March 7th has a shot...we have a NAO and a PNA...warm temps will get here, but I'm still rooting for snow.

Every year I'm always praying for an April 1 97 repeat. March 7th has a shot...we have a NAO and a PNA...warm temps will get here, but I'm still rooting for snow. Two reasons why I don't like snow in March. 1) It doesn't last long on the ground as long as a December/January snow will...January 2011 was awesome -- snow on the ground most of the month. Wishing for a snowstorm that lasts a day or two (more often than not) before melting away is pointless. If it's going to snow, I want *some* return on investment beyond model humping and watching it snow, only to melt within a couple of days. 2) I want to get out and enjoy nice weather (60's) on occasion. March is the first *good* month where you get some nice weather, even if it's fleeting and a one or two day event. Winter is the cold season and the last six weeks have generally been pretty cold more often than not...I like that days are longer, sunshine brighter & stronger. It'd be nice to go out for a run and not freeze your a-- off. On 2/26/2013 at 1:34 AM, famartin said: Sometimes I get the feeling Tom isn't a snow lover. I'm more the type that would rather get blitzed with snow around Christmas/holidays, have a cold January with a couple of modest events so the snow sticks on the ground for the whole of the month, and then gradually have it melt in February so March 1st can be *somewhat* Spring-like. The storms that accompany March snow can be pretty epic but the return on investment after the storm is really short-duration. FWIW, two winters ago was about as perfect as I could hope for...six weeks of nonstop cold, snow, spring pretty much hit late February with only a few cold days along the way thereafter. Yeah, it snowed a couple of times (including April Fools Day) but winter was effectively over 2/25 that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 NW folks could definitely see some snow and sleet at the start (maybe even after a brief period of rain), but ultimately little if any accumulation until, at the closest, the LV.
