Rd9108 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 If you want cold and snow, well the 12z gfs doesn't a sign of snow all the way until March 1. This could change but once again the good pattern that was supposed to happen is not coming to fruition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying not to be the Debbie Downer here, but we should probably feel fortunate that we actually got something decent from that last system. It was still a bit of a fringe job, but not as bad as the other fringe jobs we've seen. We know how this winter has gone up until now. One decent snowfall isn't going to suddenly give us a great chance at a foot. I just ignore any kind of fantasy storm that happens to pop up two weeks away because you know it's going to change. Always does at that range. Like you said, every time we hear about a good pattern for us, it changes and turns to nothing. If something pops up a week away or less, that's different. Otherwise, you're setting yourself up for disappointment if you get excited over a fantasy storm two weeks away on some model or models that are almost never right, especially at that long range.

Rd9108 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Well I am not gonna sugar coat it. The 18z GFS looks about as bad as it can get. Doesn't mean we can't time something but it's looking less likely we see any more prolonged winter weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeB_01 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I might be as bad as JB at wishcasting, but here is something to keep your spirits lit with just a little bit of hope. Whats life without hope? This reanalysis is from end of february 1965. A neutral ENSO after a few months in a weak la nina and moving towards a moderate el nino. Interesting enough, I found this time to be a relatively negative PNA which is what the GFS is forecasting for us to move into around the end of the month. Usually that means a big ridge over us, however, this particular time period yielded the trough in the east. Not sure how that works,but here is the anomaly map. Enjoy and hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without true arctic air available (lol, this year), all that would essentially do is give us wind-whipped cloudy 40 degree weather with sleet and rain. Good God man, why?

Trust me, I like the warmth as much as anyone. Always look forward to the warm up and spring storms when they come. That being said, I was simply pointing out that the potential pattern is still there. While we will have some torch days (probably more than not) and cold days, a significant late season storm is still possible. I found another reanalysis for a march set up. It looks similar (just a little further west) to the set up i posted earlier which occurred in 1965. Without any "true arctic air", 1942 produced the 6th most snow in Pittsburgh for March. 18.3 in. I'm not an expert. I just started looking into analogs and found them interesting. Take it for what you will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwilson Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 A week of 60+ weather in February has me ready to give up on the winter. Big storms in March don't do a lot for me, anyway. A warm winter and cold spring is about as bad as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rd9108 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Something tells me it's gonna get warm for a bit and everyone will say winter is over but it's only March. I could see us getting one more storm and April be cold and rainy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see us getting one more storm and April be cold and rainy. At least down here we managed snow on three separate days in April last year, including an inch on the 9th. We were completely shut-out in December and March. I agree it would be premature to say winter is over; February looks dead in the water, at least right now, and that just feels appropriate considering this winter. I think intermittent cold is still quite plausible through April, but of course the warm spikes are fairly volatile. The only consistent thing this winter has been lack of consistency: no patterns get locked in for extended periods of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing sticking out that suggest anything beyond typical Pittsburgh suckage going into spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the most impressive part of this is not only will we likely make it into the 60s, but its going to be relatively dry for 4-5 days. It will be hard to switch gears back to winter weather mode after that stretch. Gotta roll with what mother nature provides though, if we get another shot at a bigger storm I'll be all in.

MikeB_01 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Pretty strong indication of a pattern switch showing up on the GFS. Even with the ridge over us, the strong ridge building up by alaska is usually an indicator for a trough to dive down over the eastern US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
