I will go with exactly what the analogs are showing since they have been right for 9 months with the above normal theme.  Here's hoping  they are wrong.

 

Above Normal Temps    Below Normal Precip. 

 

The next several months look the same way,   I have not seen a below normal temperature month predicted yet.    CANSIPS goes into the fall before moving us toward below normal I think.  (Not correct, no blue in NA -except this month, right through to Jan 2017)

 

An accident is always possible for a 2-3 day period which may be out of character for the month at hand.   Two of these sneak attacks have already happened this winter (more like hit and run-impaired driver accidents).   Then right back to the old 'motif', which should hold till El Nino is declared defunct in the fall, apparently.   I think the last 10 day period (RECENT DISTORTION NOT WITHSTANDING) with a bn avg. temp. was in June or October, let alone an entire month.   Feb. looks close to normal by the end, but feels warm anyway.

 

Only 20 of the last 90 days have been below normal as we merrily cruise at a +6deg. for that period which basically aligns with the meteorological winter.   The next 7 days won't help much, maybe the last 5 will keep us from the warmest winter ever.

Weeklie have a good pattern through late February. Develops a negative nao from week 2 onward

I thought this topic is for March and beyond.    btw   Which weeklies do you refer to, I only have the CFSv2.   They are OK briefly I suppose, but above normal 500mb heights are always over us or very near.

Most months over the last few years have been above the 1981-2010 averages. We should look at averages for the past 20 years for a true picture of today climate.

I don't think we have seen the last of the snowfalls this season...The AO is forecast to go negative before March starts...if it stays negative for the first part of March it should stay seasonably cold or cold enough for snow if you get a good storm track...I was forecasting a colder February on average than January...January came in at 34.5 degrees while February is just under that mark after today...here were the analogs for March I liked...

Euro has the storm also about 3-6.

More importantly it goes crazy with blocking and -nao for the first week of March

I'm not buying into all this -NAO talk again. Won't believe it till its already here. We've been fooled too many times this winter when the blocking signal shows up LR only to disappear as we get closer in.

The models look like somebody in the Philly to NYC corridor could reach 70 or higher

with the big ridge amplification being advertised for the second week of March.

 

All the warmth in the forecast will break the string of cold Marches in NYC

since 2013. Just a continuation of the warm pattern which began last April.

 

3/13...-2.4

3/14...-4.8

3/15...-4.4
