2 years in a row now I heard a lot of people (not on this forum necessarily, though there were a few rumblings, but out in the general public) think winter was done in late February when we got those obscene torches and now two years in a row they get a rude awakening in March....remember before 2013 after a string of cruddy Marches we said we were due for some huge Marches? Well we've gotten them recently.

I heard tell that some may have even started saying that March was no longer a winter month and that it should even be renamed to Morch.

I seem to recall certain posters here saying how March was no longer a winter month and they weren't coming back.  ;)

I hear the same thing in the maple community.  Producers keep talking about tapping earlier and earlier due to warm outbreaks but also because modern tapping equipment allow for longer seasons and taking advantage of those early warm-ups.  Then we hit March and it turns cold again.  The public grumbling about the recent March's may also be because they have been repeatedly told that winter is ending earlier due to GW.

On a regional scale, we've been resisting that force the past 3 decades despite years like 2010 and 2012....and actually really it's flat back to the 1940s (the 1940s had some epic torch Marches)

PWM 1946 0" snow.

Like no Ts even.

ORH somehow managed a T on a T of precip on 3/11/46 so probably a passing flurry or snow shower on the one cold day of the entire month. 2 highs in the 30s all month (with a low max of 38F) for ORH....that's pretty hard to do. Amazingly, the year before in 1945 was even warmer March for ORH and remains the warmest March on record there.

I don't think I'd call it a beast...it's pretty ugly actually and a bit disorganized. It's prob a moderate event. But it has a lot of potential...could be something much bigger.

Yeah that setup could be really juicy. Just need to get the shortwaves to behave.

Ideally that bowling ball coming out of the west coast drives to the coast with the split flow producing the high over southern Canada. Then before it can escape a piece of the northern stream dives in behind it and backs the flow causing it to make the turn, but it can't go anywhere because of the blocking so it sits off the coast and dumps snow until it occluded.

in my dreams maybe

Lol what a clusterf*** of shortwaves that was. Final solution should look approximately 15% like that one.
