Looks like maybe 50s and 60s? Probably not the end if the cold though. I know it doesn't work this way but part of me hopes we don't see a storm now and waste it. Rather save it for next January. It's been an average winter in just about any metric you could choose to measure. I really enjoyed the rain to snow storm we had. It was fun looking forward to the change over rather than dreading it and most of managed 5-6 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the basically same seasonal snowfall average... At least officially.... I’m sure there are areas west of Boston that average 50-60” of snow. Plus there are much more frequent big storms. The last decade there has been absurd. Our airport is more indicative of the average suburban snowfall, as opposed to the city. That said....since so much of our population is in those suburbs, I always thought it to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilson Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Well, it looks like winter isn't quite as over yet as we (or rather I) first anticipated. There might be a couple more moves to track, anyway, with a reloading -NAO, among other things. We're already into mid-March, though, so this isn't nearly the same as tracking in D/J/F. This last one drained the remainder of my hope, but as a snow lover, I'll keep tracking until Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, lol, I'd still take a 6+ storm at this point in the season. It's really a shame this whole evolution with the PV split and subsequent -NAO stuff didn't happen a month sooner. It all fits well with Nina climo though, Feb is usually the warmer month followed by a cooler / colder than average March. I'm pretty much indifferent now, if its gets warmer great, if it snows more that's fine too. Thinking April should end up a bit above average as once the effects of PV split wane temps usually go above average for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowsux Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 You people do realize that we live in probably the crappiest place in the united states for every type of weather, right? If you like big snowstorms with tons of white, fluffy snow that lingers for days and weeks, you can forget it here in Yinzerville. Instead you get tons of small storms, and whatever remains on the ground turns a disgusting shade of yellow and brown from all the salt, brine, pollution, and failure in this God forsaken area. If you like sunny skies, you can forget that too. Instead "partly cloudy" here in Suckville USA means one giant cloud formation from horizon to horizon with a few "holes" in it here and there....just to remind you that the sky is actually blue and not pale grey. If you like to step outside without getting soaking wet, you can forget that as well because this is also the land of perpetual precipitation. Let's face it, God hates us. Southwestern PA is His private garbage dump of crappy weather any way you slice it, regardless of what type of weather you favor. That's because this is really Purgatory, and all of us actually dead sinners from a previous life that we simply can't remember. This also explains why most yinzers walk around with a chip on their shoulder and a crappy attitude. This is the underworld, and none of us can escape....

I'd consider it near blizzard conditions, albeit for only a 1-2 minute period. Blizzard of 93 post game recap lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know if it would have made much of a difference had this pattern set up a month prior. Perhaps maybe with the first one of the nor'easter onslaught at the beginning of the month but that storm was coming as the blocking was just getting established and we had no cold air mass in place for it and thus that parent low and transition to the coastal low happened just a bit too far north for western/central PA to get wrecked like the NY southern tier. The other two nor'easters were too far east, targeting the I-95 corridor from Philly north as well as eastern NY and New England. I think Worcester, MA has almost 40" for the MONTH to date. Lack of ridging out west was also an issue until the last one, which still developed too far east. We've been quite unlucky... even for western PA standards. This pattern change has definitely delivered big time in the Northeast overall throwing 3 major coastal storms in just two weeks. But there's always losers with these things.. and we've had it in spades so far this month. We usually get whacked by at least one of these storms during this type of a active storm regime with blocking in place. Have to see how things go with the next upcoming storm threat near the 20th-21st. We're running out of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going more along the lines of we have had several NW Flow type setups that didn't really amount to much whereas in early to mid Feb we would have probably gotten a couple inches out of them, or at the very least snow wouldn't have melted right after it fell. Other thing is we basically wasted Feb with above average temperatures, and now March is raw and cold, wouldn't have minded having this all play out earlier and hit warmer weather by this time. Of course I say all this as another storm looks to be possible next week and if somehow we manage to score several inches I'll be happy it stayed cold, plus hopefully at least it delays grass cutting season lol.
