Eric Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 David Ludlum in his book Early American Winters II 1821-1870 talks about the unusually warm winters in the Eastern United States from the mid to late 1820's. He said the climax of the warm period came in the winter of 1827-1828. During that winter, fruit trees in the South started blooming in January and were in full bloom by the first week of February. Peach and apricot trees in Pennsylvania were in full bloom by the third week of February. In addition to the warm temperatures, it was also an extremely wet winter(Super El Niño?). By March the circulation changed and polar air masses began to move southward with reports of snow falling as far south as coastal South Carolina during mid-March. During the first week of April a massive cold front(much like April 2007) swept through the South delivering a devastating freeze that killed all tender crops, as well as the pears and peaches. The warm winters of the 1820's ended with a return to snowy winters in the South during the 1830's. Departures From Normal for Charleston, SC during the winter of 1828.

burrel2 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Welp, Models took a turn for the worst last night. I see no realistic chance of snow for us over the next 10 days, with no sign of a decent pattern past that.... Winter cancel??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems in years past, after a warm winter spring tends to balance it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmclean Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 You know, last winter, it was clear what we needed to write on the tombstone: "Here lies the winter of 2015-16: Killed by El Nino". What are we going to put on this winter's tombstone? That is was killed by a pathetic La Nina that was so weak that it didn't even meet some of the criteria and barely met others? I would really love an autopsy to determine the cause of death, if you will. Anyone feel up to the analysis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully next year we just have standard, ordinary, run of the mill indexes and I bet we score a nice storm at some point. Last two years CRAZY nino, this year CRAZY +QBO.

His snow forecast is from first flake to last...( It was for 100% of normal here) Which he's pretty much already got that right. Had 9 inches back in Jan. The cold is a different story........

mrdaddyman Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 So we went from no storm on the Euro and a LP way off the SE Florida coast on the GFS to . . . an Apps Runner on both, in less than 24 hours. That's just crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packbacker Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Well atleast prospects for someone in the east getting snow has gone up. At this point I hope we skunk the rest of the winter, bank another dud winter and hope our luck changes next few years and get on a roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
