kvegas-wx Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 March 15th. Bank it. That is the day winter will begin in the SE. That is the day we will enter the cycle of Friday cold and cloudy turning into weekend snow showers and dreary. How do I know this? Cuz that's the day I can get my boat out of the drystack.

If not, this may wrap this winter. JB advises this morning cold goes West in February with the predominant SE ridge back in residence. I'm fine w/ a SE ridge and cold in the west at this point. I'm going to pull a Brick and say that I'm ready for the warm temps if all we are going to have is cold and dry. I can't believe I just agreed w/ Brick...

superjames1992 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 The Euro still gives me a weenie coating. I'm all-in! LOL. The best snows actually miss DC to the north (not that DC doesn't get plenty). Winchester might get a foot. Winchester always comes out on top in Mid-Atlantic snow events. Never fails. Snowshoe, WV would be sick on the Euro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing at the progress of the bud formation of the trees since Dec. Really it wouldn't take much but a 3 week warm spell and the daffodils/tulips will be breaking the ground.

superjames1992 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I think I've gotten more snow than DC for the last couple winters, so I guess it's time they get their share. They do average twice my average seasonal snowfall, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rule of thumb, if a model is showing snow or potential for our area, ignore it, and imagine how it will change to benefit the MA and BOS and you would be a genius.

We got another 0.25" from that clipper SN/IP/ZR deal the next week and another 0.75" from an isolated heavy snow shower on 2/16/13. I can't deny that this area has been fortunate during the last couple disastrous winters. I was looking at the ENSO forecasts a few minutes ago and they do seem to indicate a good chance for an El Nino next winter. All-in for next winter, all other indices be damned?
