Depression starting

I'm ready for this winter to end - good riddance.

Spring is awesome - trees and flowers blossoming, grass growing, gardening, fishing, golfing, and the beginning of the MLS season - it's the best time of the year. The beginning of the baseball season is the worst part about it.

Definitely not the best time of year!

I like April 10-15....I think we have around 3 weeks left and then it gets tough...

Targeting a dusting? Need perfect timing for us by then. Could see hills getting something still but 10th and beyond is mega late for the city. Even way back when that was late for us.

I was being facetious, though this winter some event overnight that drops 1" in the city on like April 8th wouldnt shock me...I almost expect Westminster to get a 2-4" event in the next 2 weeks...

I'm hoping for one more event. It would be a fitting end. I do need a few nice days before it though. The cold is finally getting to me.

I agree with Matt, still. Don't bother getting caught up in run-to-run op model "x" shifts. The ensembles agree on 2 different cut-offs between 4/4-4/10 with declining NAO beforehand. An interior snow event with one or both of theses seems possible. It is also still possible the second one becomes another nor'easter.

I agree. It's another classic model flip from what appeared to be a legit warm spell from a week ago to now showing anomalous cold shots again. Incredible persistence this year. Anomalous cold in April isn't very cold but it can be cold enough at night.

I'm becoming interested in the 3/31-33 period. Could be something dropping into the back of the trough after slp/fropa carves things out. Low confidence but I'm seeing clues.

Yes, I thought the switch to warmth for the Northeast was too aggressive by everyone. The shift to warmth will be gradual, especially with Canada's snow cover extent and tendency for the PV to sit on our side. It's possible that after the cut-off period, with the blocking across eastern Canada-N. Atlantic, that a firmer ridge builds-in to our area. But it is around then that the models are signaling another -EPO forming. lol

thats why its more depressing to me. Last year, i couldnt wait for winter to end and get past the horribleness of it and move on. This year...its been so pure/and never ending. One thing that does help is as you said, watching a potential El Nino develop this summer. Best chance to get a real slow moving HECS

You need to seek psychiatric help.

I just want to personally thank you all for loving winter weather. I enjoy it and am surrounded by people who hate it. This forum has been my winter lovers safe haven the past few months. 

 

What I enjoyed the most was I thought we were just going to have a cold season this year and limited snow. Boy was I surprised!

 

But it is spring now and I am itching to get some planting started. :)

careful of the poison ivy, or you'll be itching more than you thought! (I am soooo allergic to that stuff, I don't go near gardens)

It's great to have this community of people who mostly love winter weather where we can track storms and unapologetically enjoy everything about it with those who understand our odd fascination.

 

As for "normal" people, the whining I constantly hear/read from them in the winter is insufferable and frankly embarrassing coming from grown adults who throw tantrums like 5 year old kids, just because it's 25 degrees outside in January or snowing a few inches.

 

I'm done with winter now that it's late March, and the warmth is welcome....... but I'll be keeping an eye on what goes on with this El Nino for next year :)
