NorthShoreWx Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 It has to be 2/12/75. The only problem is that they keep mentioning the holiday and I am certain I was in school that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWCCraig Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Nice looking sky a few minutes ago as we head towards sunset: Wow, you guys still have a lot of snow on ground. We still have snow too, but the ground in exposed in some spots, typically in well exposed south facing areas, and underneath some trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastalplainsnowman Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Noticed today that the NWS statements today have said things like (paraphrasing) '2-5 inches but low probability of 4-8 in bands' (since downgraded to '1-2 inches with low probability of 3-4 on the east end') While these statements often say things like 'locally higher amounts on the east end' the phrasing today where it gave specific ranges, and even talked about banding (something I think of as a bit of inside baseball) struck me as unusual. Not in a bad way -- I think it makes sense -- but still, not typical. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Beautiful day out there! Full sunshine should kill the remaining sun exposed snow here (other then piles) Almost my second full week this winter with snow cover. 26 inches so far on the winter. Overall decent so far.

TWCCraig Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I can already feel spring in the air. It was only in the mid to upper 40's here thanks to an onshore flow. The higher sun angles and longer days are already making it feel like spring. I was out in a t-shirt today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEG NAO Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Looks like winter in the east may be coming to an end sooner then later - so if we are going to end it with a big storm it has to be soon we are currently in MJO phase 3 http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/mjo/ and according to this research paper after the MJO enters phase 3 the temps warm up in the east within 5 - 20 days http://www.atmos.umd.edu/~sbaxter/baxter_report_mjo.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, at least Feb has been exciting for tracking for the storms that did or did not occur. So unlike last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEG NAO Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Amazing spread from the least to the most...... most of the spread was caused by the Feb 8 -9 storm obviously because of the structure of that storm and areas further west and south getting much less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momza Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 its hilarious how DT goes into hiding once his forecasts start to bust - hasn't made a post in 22 hours - probably trying to figure out how to say he was wrong and put his usual spin on things - BTW he made a big deal out of how he was certain there would be a big east coast snowstorm later this week https://www.facebook.com/WxRisk I think you were quite convinced until the last few model runs that the blizzard was not Going to happen,along with most of us here, weenies and mets. Long Range predictions as you know, are difficult. Any difference between Dt and other mets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I think you were quite convinced until the last few model runs that the blizzard was not Going to happen,along with most of us here, weenies and mets. Long Range predictions as you know, are difficult. Any difference between Dt and other mets? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the storm wasn't happening for us. Eastern LI got up to a few inches of snow but otherwise the dynamics and cyclogenesis got going too late, and then the progressive overall pattern that's been screwing us since Day One this winter did the rest and pushed it out to sea. Had it not been very good luck with the November storm and the storm a week ago, we would have a very bland winter. Unfortunately, this will likely be the norm in the -PDO regime we've entered unless we have periods of blocking or a rare El Nino. Roaring Pacific jet, frequent SE ridge, northern stream dominated storms that cut too early and favor the Midwest, or blow up too late and favor New England. On the bright side, more hurricanes!!
