snowfan Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Cherry Blossom dates are out. Peak expected to be April 8-12. Festival ends on the 13th, so good timing if it holds. Fireworks on the 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Been a fantastic winter. Ready for spring. A re-do of last year's Spring-Summer-Fall would be just fine with me. Actually, the last 12 months have been about my ideal for our region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. August Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I believe I am now ready for Spring! This Winter has been a long one, with an early December snowstorm, and now an early March storm. I am looking forward to watching for severe t-storms that never hit, and tracking hurricanes that never form. At least the Summers here aren't hot and humid... Oh wait, I forgot... they suck.

Bob Chill Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Euro ens suggest a mini-torch (or at least a warm spell) sunday-wed. Cold after that though but I'm looking forward to some warm temps and nuclear sun angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. August Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I found some great 2014 Hurricane Season information, but I didn't know where to post. I'll post here, but feel free to delete. Apparently, this private forecasting company predicted Hurricane Sandy two years prior to the 2012 season. They are forecasting a strong season, with plenty of threats. http://www.prweb.com/releases/2014/01/prweb11492804.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Large spread for next week's cold but majority of members are below normal. Hopefully the mid 60s verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Another day off for some districts in va, what's the deal with those places? Do the municipalities not have any plows? I'm sure this has been discussed a lot here but I've never tuned into one of those discussions. Edit: wrong banter thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high risk Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 12z NAM and GFS show a great day Saturday with temps into the 50s and perhaps well into the 50s, but a pretty decent front moves through early Sunday on the GFS and keeps temperatures in the lower 40s Sunday with a brisk northwest wind.

Ian Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 At least the extra hour of evening light will cut down on snow accumulation starting this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I've seen stats out the ying-yang here wrt nino and snow, but don't recall any similar comparison wrt summer heat. Assuming we get a nino, what does that portend for the summer? On the surface, I'd assume (hope like hell) that could mean a wetter (hence, cooler) summer pattern here.

Assuming we get a nino, what does that portend for the summer? On the surface, I'd assume (hope like hell) that could mean a wetter (hence, cooler) summer pattern here.This summer won't matter much. Enso is prog'd to build through the summer but not even get much above .5 - 1.0 in 3.4 through the season as it stands now. Signal is weak at best. Summer pattern will be dominated by other oscillations. AMO is pretty interesting as it has blipped and there's some cold water in the north atlantic. Likely a transient feature but worth noting. It's hard to bet against continued variability with periods of warm/cool for the foreseeable future. It will break sometime soon but that's a wag and it's been incredibly persistent for a long time now. The larger effect in nino summers are crappy tropical seasons because wind patterns tend to shear out developing waves. IIRC the pac nw is wetter than average in nino summers but the overall effects here aren't very significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how the "cherry blossom people" just came out with an estimate that the blossoms will peak during the height of the festival. Convenient...
