GreenBo Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Every morning I check the 0z for a glimmer of spring. Maybe it will warm up in May? Blocking never happens when you want it. However, I guess I’d rather have it now than in July - Sep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Oh yeah, this right here is just great. Actually this is EXACTLY what I want to see. This trough just decides that it needs to park itself over the eastern conus, because why on earth would we want southern flow anywhere in the central US? Too add on to this, Massachusetts has higher dews than the YUCATAN PENINSULA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zinski1990 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 This is the worst spring weather ever. Really hope May is just total opposite I don't care if it's straight to summer. That's probably what will happen anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I don't even remember it getting this cold in April 2014, the other recent example of a winter that wouldn't let go. Most of JFM was brutally cold but by April, temperatures were at least tolerable although still below normal. We sure as heck weren't seeing teens for lows and 30s for highs...and at least we built up a decent snowpack during that winter. Way too many stretches of bare tundra during this one.

Just endless cool weather with nothing to show for it. Pathetic. Now tomorrow nights event is slowly becoming a nuisance on some new guidance, as is next weeks event. I am debating now as to whether there is a snow-dome over Toronto or not. Consider that a new conspiracy . What a lame garbage winter and spring and I think I have every right to say that now as it isn't just a complaint no more. Smh!! It hasn't been much different here in Milwaukee; we did have an early March event of about 4" and this last week's event gave about 2", but besides that it's been cold, windy and largely dry (average wind chill the last three weeks have been in the teens and 20s). For the season we haven't made it to 40" yet, and I think we'll end up a tad short. However, with our lake breezes, at least this is not spring weather we're unaccustomed to.

I remember a storm a few years ago when the Euro had like 3 feet of snow for NYC a day or two before and I think it went east. They bust all the time. NYC busted multiple times this winter alone. It's just never talked about outside of there because it doesn't grab headlines as much as an actual storm does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Well, a year without a spring might be better than 1816 and Mt. Tambora volcano causing the year without a summer. But who knows what might yet happen in May and June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twenty-Hundred and Froze to Death Seriously, I wonder if the eruptions of Mt. Agung in Indonesia last Fall (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017–2018_eruptions_of_Mount_Agung) may have helped form one of the strongest Greenland Blocking patterns on record and the stratospheric warming back in February. There was a warning from last December about the effects following the eruptions. (https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/885802/Bali-volcano-Mount-Agung-news-update-freeze-climate-change-global-warming-NASA-indonesia) I've been thinking over the past month, we're going to get a summer colder than last year.

Torchageddon Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 This is getting absurd. I thought 2016 and 2017 were a bit too boring but then 2018 came along and said "Hold my beer." What in the actual hell is this? My interest in weather is "gone" now because of it. What is a tornado outbreak? I forget what that is. Aside from one interesting non-severe thunderstorm in September of last year, nothing since then has really been neat/noteworthy. This last winter had nothing of value whatsoever so I rather it was 2011-2012 instead because then at least there was less of it. I wish I was in a warm climate to miss it entirely because not a single lake effect band did anything except something moderate on Christmas Day. No winter storms. I absolutely hated this March we just had and ranks up there for most miserable. Now we're 1/3rd into April and so far this is the single worst April weather I've ever lived through. I'm stunned at the magnitude of atrociousness. It is a VERY bad sign when its being compared to 2014...I would sooner move to Arizona than experience anything like that again. My loathing of 2014 is unbridled and without limits. I should've moved to southern Arizona in late 2013. I haven't followed weather closely due to the exceptional spell of mundane except maybe this small thing: the first 20ºC day. There is that contest with the UW weather station for when it first reaches that and seeing how long we go without getting over could be fun to follow. In at least 20 years its never gotten past April 19th but that sure will happen with this pattern. My concern is this Thursday where it will be the closest yet to 20ºC. Here's hoping that doesn't get wrecked too by Thursday's warmth spike. I thought in 2014 it would be May the way things were but there is always a sneaky spike to screw the "streak".

Harry Perry Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Long range GFS shows more zonal flow and warming after next week. I don’t see anymore ridicously cold (30’s for highs) on GFS (other models - do still show it - 12z GEFS says 20’s for highs next Monday - STOP.) CIPS saying we’ll jump from this to above normal by June - May being the transitional month. At this point, though - if we started May out with 70’s and 80’s (not likely to happen) - I would still personally call 2018 - the year without spring in modern history.

Yes, I was going to point out that the latest run doesn't depict the double digit negative anomalies after Sunday-Tuesday like it had in previous runs, although it still shows an average of below normal temps for the next two weeks.
