That's one possibility.  Also may cause issues with sfc dews/moisture mixing out and just in general may result in high temps tending to overperform.  Not that big a deal yet but something to watch.

All I'm concerned about is getting a healthy EML (thus steep mid-level lapse rates) far enough NE for all of us to get in on plenty of severe weather action.

Moisture return is a secondary concern.

As long as the area near the river up to the Ohio River stays near normal and continues to get periodic rain, we will be fine with moisture returns. I do agree with Indystorm though about dryline extending further east. If we were to remain in an active pattern going into next month and April, things could really get bumpy around here. The continued western trough we have been seeing is a good sign as well.

Having spent the last 5 1/2 years in North Texas but being from this area, Ohio to be exact I honestly never knew a dry line was a factor this far north.  Thankfully though I don't imagine a dry line event up here being as bad as down there.

Actually some of the more prolific events have had a dry line extension as far northeast as the Great Lakes.

Yep... and if not the Lakes, then at least the Mississippi River area.  4/3/56, 4/11/65, 4/3/74, 4/19/96, 3/2/2012 all had drylines or dryline type features extending much farther east than usual, and there are probably others if you look hard enough.

The 4/3/56 example is one of the more striking ones.  I mean, this is pretty ridiculous for this part of the country.

I'm going to print this, laminate it, and keep it in my wallet as my official license to b**ch, whine, and moan.

It is interesting though.  You can clearly see which storm track has been absent.   

 

I wish we could see a county by county breakdown of this. Pretty sure we (Franklin Co.) have to go back 2 years to see our last WS Warning... 2/28/15-3/1/15. If that was only an Advisory, then for sure the storm the week before, 2/21/15 had a Warning.

Great point.   Franklin and probably Delaware counties are probably over 600 days easily.   I'm thinking specifically of that late season southern slider a couple winters back that had ILN southern counties under warnings but completely whiffed us.

On the positive side, Ohio has had 3 -departure met winters and 4 +departure met winters this decade. We are due for a balancing next winter eh?

Preliminary data indicates another El Nino next Winter, which depending on the strength can be good or bad for the sub-forum. We'll see, I guess.

Wow, that's extremely impressive.  Looks like a TX panhandle map.  Would love to see something like this happen again.

21 degree dew at Peoria, very strong southwesterly winds.  No doubt some excellent mixing to well above the BL.

READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED

So I watched his video today, curious to see how he was going to spin his way out of the Feb torch that was suppose to be a historically cold Feb according to him.  So he continues to spew the 500 maps and how he nailed that and was disappointed that it ended up resulting in opposite surface conditions then he expected.  Blah blah blah.   But then in classic JB form, he pulls out the euro ens 15 day 500 and says, "this is exactly like March '93 when the super storm hit...except it looks like it would be further west".   Not kidding, he actually pulled out a March '93 analog.    To his credit, he did say he was apprehensive to bring it up since nothing has been going as he expected.   

:lol:

I'd be down for '93 west.  That one was a particularly painful miss for CMH, right?

I stopped following Joe when he left accuweather, but he was kind of crazy then too but seemed somewhat legit in his nonsense.  It would not surprise me to see a freak snowstorm in March here.  I remember 2008, my grandfather passed away and when I left Columbus it was 75, that weekend it was rain in PA got to Ohio and full on blizzard.  Took me 10 hours to get back instead of 5, but it was literally gone within a few days afterwards.

If I remember correctly at one point Ohio was in line to get clobbered but ended up farther east. Extreme east Ohio still got hammered and back this way I believe I got 3-6". Columbus was probably closer to if not a bit more than 6".

Yes it was a heart breaker.  We were always suppose to get whiffed but at the last minute the NWS issued a Blizzard warning for us the morning of.   I lived on the west side of Columbus back then and we got a powdery wind swept 3 or 4 inches.

Actually that snow remained for close to two weeks.  It got very cold after that storm and with the snow on the ground and temps, it was one of the most wintry Marchs I recall here.

There were some brief model runs a week out that had it running the apps, but for the most part it was predominantly modeled very well 6 or 7 days out as a coastal.

That's what 2014 did to me. I can't help but be in awe when I think back to that ultimate festering turd of a year that I don't think I'll ever get over. I wish I had a time forwarding device for that year to jump from 2013 to 2015, even if it means I miss an entire year of my life. That's how satanic it was.

This year wasn't all that great for weather but I loved the extremely long summer that was possibly the warmest on record. I couldn't get enough of that good s**t. This fall was fantastic, not far off from 2007. The main problem was how horribly boring the weather was, Spring severe had no major outbreaks, thunderstorms were beyond a joke this year and I've never seen it this quiet ever, very short-lived winter events that didn't really keep me tuned in. Right now for example I'm getting screwed over by the LES bands where a hour drive north is LES heaven. When is it all going to turn around?
 

No disagreement with you there.

2014 played a not-so insignificant role in zapping my overall interest in weather as well, especially for winter. Hell, the only severe weather event of interest was Detroit's historic flood (and flash flooding technically isn't severe weather). You know that year was bad when even awful years like 2013 and 2015 seemed good in comparison.

And yes, the lack of severe weather in 2016 is quite frankly the only complaint I have with regards to last Summer. It was easily the most boring seasons I've ever lived through.

How did 2014 zap your interest in winter weather? Snowstorm after snowstorm, snowiest winter on record!!??

It was an extremely long winter for one (which technically started in November and didn't end until April). I also can't stand extreme cold, which 2013-2014 had more than its fair share of. Lastly, having a consistently deep snowpack does nothing for me (I find it to be a nuisance more than anything, especially if it's snow on top of snow). 

The only good thing about it is that I can say I survived the worst winter ever.
