Geez, this is ugly.... http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/pna/nao_index_mrf.shtml JB is in on cold coming back. I'll take my chances with winter returning later this month and March. After all he was right when cold came in December and right with January thaw as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarmNose Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Just had a honeybee buzzing around my head. Spring is here! With that said, this looks interesting to say the least. Another wedge setup. Some nice players on the field. Surface temps are very very close for many. 850's not near as torchy as the last Storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poimen Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 It sure would be nice to have Miller A storm track coupled with high pressure in the right location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SENC Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Afternoon Folks.. I'd have to give this Winter a A+ on account the Awesome cold spell we've had waaay down here in SENC (coast) and the 3.5 " of that great white fully stuff.. Everything here is budding about to burst open.. Daffodils are up & getting ready to bloom.. I kinda fear this,, As almost ALWAYS, we get a killer freeze, or snow Late Feb~Early March... Bad for Fruit trees.. Though, Looks like possible T~Storms are forecasted tomorrow.. If I/We hear Thunder this time of year.. You know what that means.. (old Wives tale) So there's that, going for Us... Temps been nice down this way though.. Mid-50's & low 60's the past week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceagewhereartthou Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Forecast for upstate becoming even more springlike. Highs pushing 70 several days and lows in 50s several nights with inches of unneeded (and unwelcome to me) rain. Could this be a record breaking Feb? Even Robert has no words of comfort!

Rain is the one good thing we're getting. Last month I was worried we would go into this spring in a major drought. We're looking much better now.

Doesn't seem to work out that way to often, awfully hard to get cold and moisture at the same time to have a good snow, it happens but we all know its worse than threading a needle.

Cold Rain Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Winter looks to be mostly over at this point. Maybe we have a decent shot at something early March, but Feb looks like it’s circling the drain. I really hate these winters now where you only get winter for half of the winter.

La nina winters tend to happen that way has the longwave pattern gets established. Then we will turn cold/cool for spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, we only get half the winter anymore, February is suppose to be a cold winter month, this is ridiculous. I can see a week of this kind of weather but not the whole month.

The mountain folks will be regularly seeing high wind and flakes flying in the air from NWF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarmNose Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 For the 18th and 19th our HP went from 1041 over Montreal at 12z Saturday to a 1035 north of Bermuda at 6z today. The storm is still there and the wedge is still there. GFS just doesn't know what to do with that high yet. I would lean towards a high in the Atlantic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 REally looking forward to the Spring-like weather after the extremely cold / snowy January. Could get up into the 70s here today, despite the clouds / rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention its already been spring for a week at least. Of course it depends on one's specific location, but at least here, we had the one of the worst snow/ice storms in 25 years (bearing in mind we only average 1" of snow for an entire season) and ended up 3*F below normal for the month The last 1/3 of the month was ok, but it didn't make up for the majority of days featuring double digit negative departures during the first 2/3 of the month.

Are you on the coast? Sounds like you don't care for cold/ snow? I would refer to a once in 25 year snow as AWESOME, not as "the worst." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
