ORH_wxman Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 What a winter for the snowpack fetish folks like you and me. I remember we joked about 70-71 winter in the fall ..This may rival that. Only a few days of no pack since Dec 24th Nah this is nothing like that winter...we had like 18"+ OTG that winter for almost 3 months. This winter, we had to survive for periods with only 6-8" of crust and had bare ground for a chunk o fDecember. We've had some impressive snow pack at times...don't get me wrong, but you would not even put those two winters in the same ballpark if you experienced both of them (or seen the data) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memory isnt as good as yours but I seem to remember an early storm and a good snow year, maybe got down to some bare spots here and there but most of the winter was snow covered ground.

Typhoon Tip Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I gotta say..today was a brutal torch..Congrats Tip on that call..even though you called for it on Sunday..i mean it hit 51 here..totally shocked me. I thought the snowcover would help keep things cooler in the low 40's. In the sun it must have been 70 as folks were laying out tanning on tops of snowbanks Tomorrow will be warmer though - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Watch how fast it drops at sundown tonight, dews are very low and no wind. You guys will radiate like a mofo then heat up tomorrow Yeah, huge diurnals - like 50F in some cases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Classic spring MOS bust of 3 to as much as 10F to cold. You always count on the temp going above guidance as for some reason there's no radiative differential seasonally applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Best part of the time change is the GFS now comes out at 1130,worst part is Euro at 2 am. Too bad we can't switch that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 0z GFS is wicked cold in the medium range...here are a couple of snapshots that I posted in the NYC thread.... 850s get down to around -15C Thursday following the mid-week cold front, could be a struggle to break freezing in the hills even down to CT/RI: This weekend has an overrunning event seemingly caused by lobes of energy rotating around the PV, also supported by a strong arctic high with -20C 850s to the north: The west-based -NAO forming is absolutely classic: I don't think we've seen cold anomalies like this in March since 2007, and it may go back even longer. Even in the fairly chilly March 2011, I think the coldest we got at 850mb was around -11C in NYC, and it certainly wasn't sustained as the models are showing. This period of blocking should give us a chance for several storm systems and ensure a colder than normal March. The GFS shows the west-based block remaining intact until 3/23 when it slowly begins to break down. Colder than normal temperatures remain in the east with an ULL over the region to the end of the fantasy range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Next weekend (for now) looks pretty suppressed but there are more possible threats coming in this NW flow with the ULL spinning to our NW. Still a nice -NAO blocking going forward and this time of year....you always have to respect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Well we are ll going to wipe out our snowpack as things have trended warmer and worse on Monday and Tuesday. 50's with dews in the 50's on Tuesday will obliterate it..even at ORH and north..I thought maybe we'd keep some..but an inch of rain with warm, humid,,sultry south winds will wipe it out. And then cold and dry for days and days and days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROOSTA Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Spring is coming, can't stop it. But it what flavor? Ensembles are leaning to the Winter side of Spring, frigid in fact. (2 week lead) No ridge in the East also still in -NOA regime. An elongated longitudal look to the LW pattern. Personaly I want that first 70 degree day so I can shave this long faced ZZ look. 4 inch facial hair has served it purpose. Holding off on the all clear call. A couple of chances are still signaled.

mahk_webstah Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'm ready for it to melt. Still 12+glacier up here that is no hurry to leave. Doubt 2 weeks of cold and suppression in mid-late March. Snow and cold coming. Maybe the rubber band snaps for a warm sunny April? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
