snowstormcanuck Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 YYZ should finish February with 7.0" of snow, making it the snowiest of the DJF winter months. So there's at least a chance for March to come in as the snowiest month of the cold weather season. A rarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 First week looks wintry with or without snow. EURO warms it up on the 6th. Chinook develops and pushes warmer air east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosaints Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 First week looks wintry with or without snow. EURO warms it up on the 6th. Chinook develops and pushes warmer air east. GEFS agrees.

IWXwx Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Morch Lite incoming? We are at the end of the month when the CFSv2 skills improve. It will need to be very warm later in the month to overcome the below normal temps expected in the subforum the first few days of March for this to verify.

buckeye Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Hearing/reading rumors of a wet start to spring then a switch to a hot and dry summer around the end of May. Would love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UMB WX Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Wet spring and dry hot summer has zero appeal to me.. but weather gonna do what its gonna do. Kind of due for a hot one though so JB has that on his side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFSv2.NaT2m.20160228.201603.gif CFS has been consistent all of Feb predicting a warm March. Placement of the heat has remained relatively steady as well. Will either be a rare victory or huge flop by the model. Haven't had a burner of a summer since 2012 and I'd love one this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeye Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I heard JB is on board for a hot summer. I guess you'd be the one to ask if that's true? yes and yes. Hot dry summer for midwest. Actually now is the time I usually cancel my subscription for the year. Overall I'd give his performance this winter a D+/C-. Usual errors. Underestimated the December torch. Was too early on the return to winter in January, and failed on his call that Feb would be the most extreme month of the winter, (wrt snow and cold). He also failed with his call for much above snow fall across the TN valley and the southeast. If it wasn't for the late January blizzard across the MA, he'd be looking at one of his worst winter forecasting season overall. Believe it or not he pulled out his infamous, "we nailed the pattern at 500" excuse. In his last hail mary pass to keep the winter weenie subscriptions going, he actually said in a video last week...."March will be rocking". I don't care what anyone says, 80 bucks is well worth the entertainment value and the model section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Suddenly, the 12z GFS and NAM have come in much more robust/wetter with the Wednesday night/Thurdsay hybrid clipper, with both getting a band of snow started over eastern Iowa and spreading southeastward into Illinois.

CFSv2.NaT2m.20160228.201603.gif The CFS only nailed Dec. It bombed on January and February. I really don't care what happens, I'd rather winter hang on in northern Ontario, for reasons everyone here knows. But if it torches, I'll live.

josh_4184 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I'm ready to put this winter to rest, bring on an early spring certainly no complaints from me. It does appear to be an active severe weather season for much of the sub forum enjoy! I do miss some of bigger systems I used to see downstate but happy enjoying some sun and warmth didn't see much sun as usual this winter normally okay with the snow but not getting much makes it pretty long and dreary.
