NCSNOW Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 We might get lucky and score a late season early spring storm. Theres always a chance. But for this ole boy its time for me to stick a fork in winter 17/18. Wasnt all that bad. BN Nov,Dec,Jan. 8 straight days below freezing, and ended up a tick above climo for annual snowfall. Yall have fun chasing severe wx, mosqituoes and a shady spot the next 9 months. I'm airborne and headed toward the bottom of the cliff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually wait to see how things look first few days of March but we're close to mid Feb and my low for next 15 days is showing 38. Could be wrong of course and there could be a 10 day window after that for something but I have no confidence there, sounds like a fairy tale. This is a lot like 2010-2011 with winter ending after mid Jan for MBY. Only difference is I had more snow that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would refer to a once in 25 year snow as AWESOME, not as "the worst." I'm in Newnan, GA. I'm originally from Detroit, so I was honestly kind of hoping for a warmish / snowless winter for a change. The "once in 25 year" snow that occurred here would be a run-of-the-mill snow event there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be something if we had another 1960 March or something close to it. No doubt the pattern will change to a cold one, But our averages are coming up quickly. So March we may be 10-15 below normal (which is a cold pattern for the date) for a few days but that would only be highs in the 50s lol...... But it just takes a right track LP and marginal cold air for a nice wet snow. That's what I'm hanging my hat on!!! I can see a perfect pattern with a lot of blocking but too late, probably April........ Hopefully the pattern changes last week of February!! Of course this is JMO and IDK So take with a huge grain of salt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG FROSTY Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 In a VERY crappy pattern, It's possible to sneak a little something in, Just like the map Josh posted!! TUESDAY...Mostly cloudy. A chance of rain showers with a slight chance of freezing rain in the morning. Cooler with highs in the lower 40s. Light and variable winds. Chance of precipitation 20 percent. .SATURDAY NIGHT...Mostly cloudy with a chance of rain showers. A chance of snow showers after midnight. Lows in the lower 30s. Chance of precipitation 40 percent. .SUNDAY...A chance of snow showers in the morning. Mostly cloudy. Highs in the lower 50s. Chance of snow 30 percent. Not saying it will happen, but as I said before don't need very cold air JUST marginal cold and good timing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6z is not a robust on precip. amounts but it could get a little interesting. A nice CAD does set up with dew points down to the lower 20s by 18z Tuesday. We just need more precip. It could happen in the form of heavy drizzle, but we would need it just heavy enough to drop the temp to below freezing. **I would say this is unlikely to happen, but hey what else do we have to look at.

The orientation of the precipitation (SW to NE) would increase the chance of the cold air overtaking the precip before it left. Again I'll say low chance (..much better for high elevations) but definitely something else to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacoma Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 This is crazy still nothing on the future maps showing any snow, can't believe the long range isn't showing some snow since we're still in winter with still some to go especially in the mountains.

FallsLake Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 12z GFS at day 5. As discussed above, there is a possibility of some wintery precip, but again I would say this is still a long shot. Best case is somebody seeing some wintery precip fall from the sky; which is still a win with this pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpbart Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I know that there has been much wailing and gnashing of teeth over the trend to an early spring, however. I pulled the mulch off of my banana trees so they will start growing again, betting the warmth continues. This means the chance for a late February, early March snowstorm has risen dramatically. Considering the overall uncertainty in predicting weather a month away, this is likely as predictive as any other methods. Just doing my part to help the cause.

Yep, nothing big happing. Small chance of something small in 5 days but even that is unlikely. But dealing with the LR, the indices are interesting today: PNA - Looks to stay negative (bad) AO - Looks to go strongly negative (good) NAO - Looks to go strongly negative (yes! I said strongly negative----great) http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/daily_ao_index/teleconnections.shtml EPO - Looks to stay negative (good) ftp://ftp.cdc.noaa.gov/Public/gbates/reforecast2/teleconn/4indices.png So the question is, can the PNA screw everything up?

Yeah, it's just that seeing an solid agreement on the NAO going negative like that it something we don't ever see. IDK if it will help us but we will see. Also, from what I've read the NAO will become the dominant driver going into end of FEB, early March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a while since we had the NAO on our side during the winter time. Let's see if there's still enough cold air to block and tap into at the end of the month. Assuming the models are right about it going negative in the first place.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the AO helps feed cold air into NA, NAO will help force the storm track south, EPO keep a trough in eastern NA, and maybe a negative PNA will allow storm system to enter the US from the west. at least that's my dream...
